Halloween

The kids actually helped me a little with carving the pumpkins this year. They are not huge fans of the messy inside of the pumpkins but luckily Chelsea is! Heisman was some crazy morph suit guy, Madden was a storm trooper and Callaway was a Hawkeye cheerleader. This Halloween was really cold so I guess you couldn't really see much of their costumes anyway. The Klines came up and Heather and Kinley as well. We love the family time!

Madden is five!

Madden was so excited to turn five! He wanted to have all of the neighbor friends over for a game of football. The weather was great and we were able to have a fun game followed by some presents and cupcakes. Some favorite gifts were a new scooter, a huge nerf gun and a dude perfect shirt. This kid is so much fun right now! He is so active, a great brother, loves to cuddle, still sucks his thumb and can't wait to go to kindergarten. :)

Seattle

Tony has been attending the University of Washington the last three years in the Pacific Coast Banking School. He graduated this year and we (me, Mike, Connie and Kristi) went to Seattle to celebrate! Super proud of him! We had a great weekend and loved checking out his college and the city!

Soccer

Madden is a rock star at soccer! This kid has got the game figured out. It has helped that he has watched Heisman play in previous years and we do play a lot at home but wow, he is awesome! They usually play 3 vs 3 or 4 vs 4 but no goalies, which is a big benefit for Madden! One game is had 8 goals! He finished the season with a total of 27 goals! Awesome!

Football

I have to brag about our football star. Heisman loves football these days! The kids get the chance to play all the positions. He kind of likes playing the quarterback but really loves being able to run for touchdowns. He is fast! Not many kids can catch him once he gets going. Being fast also helps him on defense. His team finished undefeated (6-0) and Heisman had a total of 8 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. Stud!

First day of school!

Summer has come to an end and our lazy, pool days have changed into busy school days. Heisman is headed to 2nd grade, Madden in the older preschool and Callaway in the toddler room. The kids are excited to see friends and experience new things but a little disappointed that summer is over (me too)!
