First Football Game of the Season

Today Kyle had his first football game of this season.  It was so exciting!  I just love watching the boys play football.  It's definitely my favorite sport to watch that Kyle plays.  He played so well!  I'm so proud of him. 
This is his last year to play flag football. It's hard to believe that he'll be playing tackle football next year.

Kyle running for a touchdown....he came close, but they did eventually get his flag.  I was trying to cheer and snap pictures at the same time.

Holiday World with the Bryant's

Yesterday we spent the entire day at Holiday World with the Bryant's.  We ended up shutting both parks down!  In fact, we were there almost an hour AFTER closing, and we even stopped for icecream at the Tastee Freeze on the way home.  It was definitely a full day.  It was perfect weather at HW, and suprisingly it wasn't too overly crowded for a Saturday.  We all had such a great day!  We LOVE Holiday World!

Gardening

When we got home from the birthday parties, it was time to take care of the garden.  Hannah likes to pick the cherry tomatoes and do we ever have a lot of them!  I planted 3 plants.  I now realize, I only needed one!  Our garden has done really well this year.  We have tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, fajita peppers, green bell peppers and red peppers.  I'd like to expand it next year to include some green leaf lettuce.  If anyone needs cherry tomatoes - let me know!! 

While Hannah worked in the garden, Kyle and the neighbor boys played some football. 

Happy Birthday Emmy!

After leaving Pump-it-Up, we headed to the Sills' new house to help Emmy celebrate her 2nd birthday.  We had a great time visiting with everyone and especially enjoyed watching the kids play. The cutest part had to be when Hannah, Keelin & Maddie pretended to have a wedding.  Keelin was the bride and Keelin & Maddie were the bridesmaids.  Happy Birthday Emmy!

We got her a pull toy that was a puppy.  She wanted to open it right away and she was so adorable pulling it around.

The Pre-School girls

Standing there watching the three girls....I had a quick look into the future.  They were standing there chatting away about getting ready for the ball & prom. 

and then it was onto  the wedding...Keelin was the bride and the other two were the bridesmaids.  It was too cute. 

Happy Birthday Brett!

Today Hannah & I headed to Pump-it-Up to help Brett celebrate his 6th birthday.  Hannah has been counting down the days to go to this party for nearly a month because she LOVES pump-it-up!  We stayed for all of the bounce time, but had to leave before the entire party was over because we had to make another birthday party yet today, too.  Happy Birthday Brett!

Happy Birthday Nathan

Yesterday we headed to Henderson to help Nathan celebrate his 7th birthday.  The kids had a great time playing corn hole, hillbilly golf, washers, water balloons and trying to walk on stilts.  Kyle had such a great time hanging out with Nathan.  After the party was over, they spent some time just the two of them playing Legos.  Happy Birthday Nathan!

The pinata broke and it only took two swings!
