Soccer!!

Bryce's soccer team went to the playoffs this past weekend! What an exciting time for us all! These little guys gave their all and did great! They won all 3 games the first day and got to the 2nd one the next day before losing! It's hard to get that far and lose! They were practically the youngest team there at the playoffs- their U10 group includes kids ages 8 - 10 and most of these guys are 8 1/2 or 9, so they were playing bigger, older guys and still did great! GO BLAZERS!!!


Bryce and his biggest fan!! I am so proud of what a young man Bryce is turning out to be!!


One of their many sessions with Coach Phil and Coach Steve! These 2 guys are awesome! This team has been together since they started when they were 4. So, not only are they team mates, but they are all buddies! And the coaches treat them like their own!


The cheering section for the Blazers! We all had tshirts made with our son's name and # on the back.


Our family after their last game. These little guys had a hard time accepting that they had lost! So, we all got a little teary eyed while the coaches gave their pep talk to them telling how proud they were of them and that they were all still WINNERS in our eyes!!


Matt, Cayden & Dylan. These little brothers loved watching their big brother's games! I started babysitting Matt when he was just 6 weeks old, and kept him for 2 school years while his Mom was a school nurse. She was able to find a job where she could be home with him in the day, and I am glad for that, but Cayden & I sure miss him!! They are still the biggest buddies!

Halloween Fun!

This year we had another Halloween party with about 30 of our friends. I'm pretty sure I can say "Fun was had by all!" We had a hot dog supper with lots of cute Halloween desserts. The kids trick or treated and roasted marshmallows by the camp fire. We even had a few ghost stories told around the fire!


Me & my Howard Stern husband! The adults didn't dress up this year, but a couple of the men couldn't resist putting on their 'masks' when the kiddos came around to trick or treat!


The group of cute kiddos! Some of them weren't too happy about the picture session!

Salem is absolutely the cutest little girl! She got the hang of the trick or treating and kept reaching her hand out for more! :)

Special Visitors!

This past weekend 'T' and 'Gunkle' (as we call them), came to visit. Gunkle flew his airplane here and it was so exciting waiting and watching them land!


Teresa brought me a shirt that matched hers and I love it!

Football!!

A couple of weeks ago, we were given some Dallas Cowboys football tickets. Although they aren't doing very good this year on their winning, this was the most awesome football game we've been to! The stadium is just gorgeous and we had wonderful seats! I don't know if anyone can have a bad seat there since the humongous TV screen is right in front of you! The boys had a really good time and want to go back again! We've been to some of our high school football games this year and this just blows that away! ha


Our family just inside the doors of the stadium. When you walk in, you immediately see the field- no big concrete walls!


Dylan & Cayden loved holding their 'GO COWBOYS' signs!


Me & the boys outside in front of the stadium. And, yes, we had to go buy the shirts & hats the day before- true fans!! ha


My 4 men!

Back Into The Swing of Things!

School and soccer are back in full swing for us now. Bryce is in 3rd grade and starting his 10th season of soccer. Dylan is in 1st grade and starting his 6th season of soccer. Cayden will be starting Mother's Day Out again next week and starting his 1st season of soccer. We will have some busy Saturdays these next few months with 3 games to watch, but it's so much fun to see them play and advance every season!
