Ding, Dong soccer is DONE!

What a season...0-10 (ok...we did tie two games).

A word to sum up the season...painful.

I know, I know, don't expect too much they are only 6...so I won't go into a long winded explaination of things. I will just say this, Jack did a really good job when he got down to business...and Chris will be coaching next year. Enough said.



Ah, I think I have a loose tooth.



Checking out the competition



GOOOOALLLL!

Halloween

Living in the country, trick-or-treating just doesn't work...unless you feel like spending the evening in a car driving around from house to house. Lucky for us, the Drakes invited us over to join their gang for dinner and an evening adventure.

Ben decided to go the traditional route and was a "Lego Bionicle" again this year (it is a strange action figure guy...that unless you have boys you would have no idea about!) Jack wanted to go as a Starwars character, but we waited to long to go shop...so he settled for a spooky ghost!

Check out the pictures:

Livin La Vida Loca

Alright...Chris and I really aren't living the crazy life, but we did go to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for Gannon and Jen's BEAUTIFUL white wedding a couple of weeks ago.

Great friends....great location....great food...LOTS AND LOTS OF FUN! Come on, you know it is a fun wedding when you toast the bride and groom with shots of tequila!!

Here are some assorted pictures of our adventures...

Life in the country....

Going to Ben's preschool has become a bit of a nature drive. Last week, on my way home I saw a donkey (ok...so I am not sure what classifies as a donkey...could have been a mule..ass...burro), YES a donkey snacking by the side of the road! Where did it come from, where does it live?? Needless to say, I don't think you see a donkey walking along everyday in suburbia!!

Then this morning I was taking Jack to school and I can now say that I have contributed to road kill in Placer County. We hit a squirrel. I tried hard to miss it...but that little guy just couldn't get it together in time...oops! OK, so my driving record isn't exactly all that good...but I swear I tried to miss it.

And if that wasn't enough on the excitment meter for the Beeman family...on the way home from preschool, Ben and I saw a coyote running across the street (he's lucky I didn't hit him considering my track record today!)

That is it for my exciting country news...I'll keep you up to date on any new animals I see (I know you are DYING to know!! Try to contain your excitment about this posting!!)
