Way to go Dallas!

The one day that Ace and I decide not to take the camera to the soccer game and Dallas makes 5 goals! Of course! He did so great today. The one thing we do have to work on with him though is that as he runs he likes to watch his shadow! We've got to get his head up when he runs! It's funny he has a huge cheering section and luckily he listens to his coach on his field and not his ten coaches on the sidelines. Jesse and Brooke took to teaching D the rougher side of soccer. He tried to be a little more aggressive at practice and made a kid cry (which this kid cries all the time) so now he's a little timid, but today I think he had a good balance of being assertive and not overly aggressive. He's so much better then his mom.
He is riding his little bike everywhere and loves to pretend that he is popping wheelies. He's getting more and more brave and I am afraid that one of these days he is going to do it for real. I was proud of he and Ace they took a lot of time out of their Saturday to help with several projects for friends and the church. Sometimes it's hard to help when you have your own things you need to do, but they had a good attitude about it.
Sofia is growing so fast. We went to the doctor for her shots and she is in the 96% for height and 75 for weight. She's such a long stinker. She finally broke a tooth. I am so happy! She is seriously the drooling queen. She is a fun kid. It's fun having mommy daughter time when Dallas and Ace are doing Daddy son things, which is a ton at our house. I watched a show the other night and the girl said that she only wanted to have four boys because she wanted to be the queen of that household. I felt bad for her because that mother daughter relationship is so special. Even though Sofi and I don't talk yet she is just my sweetie. [this is Ace, and I'd say that's 100% true because Sofi is so attached to Jyl, it's alarming. She so much as sees Jyl walk by, and she freaks out if she doesn't come over and pick her up, and that's even with my holding her. I'll have to work hard to ever get her looking my way once in a while! Okay, here's Jyl again].
I love the fall. It is one of my favorite seasons. I always loved it when I was younger because I was one of those dorks that loved school. I love being social and truthfully I like to learn. It also meant a quieter time at our home, once harvest was over, and we were so close to going skiing it was almost unbearable! Jesse and I were reminiscing about working harvest and some of the funny things that we did. I was always stuck picking clods and looked forward to every moment when Jess and I could work together, but he usually was doing something for my dad. We were talking about that time that I was told to push a button on the table and my cousin Doug was working on the table with my dad and our friend, Doug Brenchley. Well either I pushed the wrong button or I pushed it at the wrong time and I managed to brake Doug's arm. I still feel really bad about that one! Sorry Doug. After that I didn't push anymore buttons!
