My poor, poor neglected blog. The Soukup family is still alive and well...we are just so busy that I have not had time to get on here and update!

With the start of school, comes football and soccer. This is where I spent most of my fall, on fields. Through in a field trip to the apple orchard and the pumpkin patch and all fields had been taken care of!

Trent had an awesome football season. The Red team "Bulldogs" had a winning season. No losses what-so-ever. But tons of controversy. Luckily, when you believe in something and fight those who are charge, but shouldn't be, good things can happen! It's 2/3rd grade football, so let's keep it along those lines right?! Anyway, he has an AWESOME set of coaches who have taught him to love the game of football and given him the skills and confidence to play well. He might be the smallest kid on the team, but he has the biggest drive & heart!

Addy started Kindergarten and continued with fall soccer and dance lessons. She is a natural athlete and as well as a kind-hearted one, always cheering on and supporting her teammates.
She celebrated her 6th birthday in October with a Little Pet Shops birthday party and presents galore!

At the end of October we headed to North Carolina for my sister's wedding. Her and her husband John were married there on the Outerbanks on October 28, 2009. Addy was the flower girl and Trent was the ring "dude" and I was very proud to be her matron of honor. It was a lovely ceremony on the dunes/beach, how could it not be with the ocean as a back-drop?!

Halloween came, with Trent as Harry Potter (his current favorite book/book character...he is on the 4th book already!) and Addy went as Dorothy from the Wizard of OZ, which is one of her favorite movies. A classic, as she likes to say.

Hunting season is just wrapping up, but Russ shot a nice 8-point buck opening morning. Trent talked Russ into letting him hang the rack in his room, but we will see if that really happens or not.

I have been keeping busy at the kids school as I am the PTO co-chair for the next 2 years. Lots of running back and forth from the school, but it's fulfilling and fun work too.

Alright, the blog has been updated, and I hereby will try and make a much better effort to stay current on here!! For current pictures, please visit our family's Shutterfly site at: http://thesoukupfamily01.shutterfly.com/
