Fall is back to school time (and all of those fabulous back-to-school supplies!)
Fall is crisp mornings and warm afternoons.
Fall is Soccer (although at this house, so is Spring, Summer and Winter!)
Fall is Cross Country.
Fall is leaves turning beautiful colors.
Fall is my favorite season!
McKenzie decided to use her tie dye kit that she got for Christmas (from Katherine) to make some back to school shirts. :) Alex and I each made one also.
When this one was done, it turned out so cool! She used blue and green and it looks very Seahawk-y.
All of the shirts we did turned out so cool! Sometimes it works and sometimes it looks odd. It is hard to mess up tie dye, but we were very pleased with how they all turned out!
Alex is playing high school soccer this year. (She is #21). It was a tough decision between soccer and cross country. She is on the potential varsity list. That means she plays varsity and jv until they decide which team she should be on. There are 25 girls on the potential varsity list. Some of them are on varsity (mostly seniors/juniors) and the rest are just "swingers". (They play both V & JV). Alex LOVES playing with the JV team. She plays hard and is great!
On Saturday, we spent the morning at Civic watching the FHS Cross Country team participate in the Sehome Invitational Meet. There were over 1300 kids racing!! It was AMAZING!!! Alex and her soccer/cross country friend (they both pick high school soccer, but wished they would have picked XC) were there watching. It was a lot of fun to watch that many kids racing.

McKenzie is loving her soccer team this year. They have played two games so far this fall and won both of them. Last week they played and the game was tied 0-0 until the last 5 seconds. We scored a goal and won the game! It was very exciting to watch! Both teams were really good and played great. This weekend, the teams were not so evenly matched up and we won 6-0. Not as much fun to watch when the score is so lopsided, but glad we were on the 6 side and not the 0 side!

The girls and I went out today to take some "first day of school" pictures. Yes, I know school started a couple weeks ago, but with work, soccer and life, I didn't get any pictures until now! They are still on my camera right now. I haven't had a chance to edit them yet, but Alex is excited about a couple of them, so I will get them up and going soon!
