The Jolleys come to visit!

Last Friday we finally had the opportunity to head to Jack Fischer Park for a morning of fun. Phoenix loves riding her pink bike that she got for her birthday. 

On Saturday we thought we were attending Axel's last soccer game, but he decided to do the tournament this weekend so he has 3 more games, 2 more which he will be able to participate in. After his game he was playing around with a balloon. Daddy caught him being silly with the balloon in his belly so he wanted to capture are bellies side by side. I hope mine doesn't look like Axel's for a long time!

On Sunday we were very happy to have Auntie, Uncle and Braylin in town to watch Axel's baseball game. The girls had fun together while Axel played. 

I think they ate the whole time! Just kidding, they played as well, but both of these girls love to snack and eat.

Axel played first base for the third time this year. He really tried and has improved so much.

 He also played short stop and catcher.

 Auntie was able to capture a very cute photo of Axel with the girls after his game.

Braylin was able to come over for another hour of fun. As you can see here at about 1:15 or so Phoenix had a total melt down. I had to put our pretty princess to sleep. Braylin was able to play on for another 30 + minutes before she started to need a nap as well. We had a ton of fun with the Jolleys and are looking forward to seeing them a few more times before the end of the year

 Axel had his soccer party on Tuesday. You can see his smiling face as he received his first trophy. It was a huge accomplishment for him to finish the season. The first half of the season we had to negotiate every practice and game. By the end of the season he really matured and pushed through with good spirits.

 Here is a group shot of some of the boys and Axel.

 Today Phoenix and I made it to Jack Fischer Park again. I just had to capture this shot of Phoenix riding her bike with her head band on like the 80's, her shoes on the wrong foot and her eating her sandwich. She is a girl after my own heart!

We have a very busy weekend with 2 soccer games, Axel's last baseball game, swim lessons, dinner with Grandma Susan, Grandpa Brian and the Jolleys as well as a playdate on Sunday afternoon. We are also gearing up for next weekend as we host 20 of our friends for our annual pre Thanksgiving dinner and anticipate the arrival of Grandma Sonia and Grandpa Bruce as they come for a week of fun and food!
