Soccer Party!

Bryce's soccer team had their end of season party here at our house. They had a blast together! It was extra special siince they went to the playoffs this year!




The coaches gave the boys each their own medal with their name & number monogrammed on the back. It also says '3rd place' CAYSA tournament on the back. They were pretty proud of those!


The coaches wife, Beckie, made an awesome slide show that they showed on a huge screen! That was pretty exciting to watch!


Then the coaches were tied to a chair and showered with silly string! They were really good sports about it and let the boys have their fun!


The 'aftermath'!!

Thanksgiving Fun!

We made a little trip this year at Thanksgiving time and ended up in Indianapolis, Indiana. We started out in Oklahoma City and visited my Grandma Beeman. I'm so glad we made that stop, because most of you know that she passed away that Friday afterwards. I am so glad that she was having a good day on Sunday when we saw her and she even gave a few smiles as she watched the boys play. She will be dearly missed!! Our next stop took us to my sister and brother-in-law's, Teresa & Charlus. We had a wonderful couple days there with them! Then we headed towards Indiana to Paul & Cheryl's.


Paul & Cheryl are expecting a baby boy in January! We had an awesome time there with them!


We hung out with the 'Crawmer Clan' and the kids (and adults!) all had such a fun time togeher!


The kiddos!


'Stratego' was a pretty popular game among the kids. Here Dylan, Cody and Macy are playing.


Cayden and Quinn were quite the buddies!

Happy Birthday to my Hubby!!!

Today is my wonderful husband's 42nd birthday! He is absolutely the best husband and the most awesome Daddy for 3 little boys! The boys were excited to have the birthday brownie when he got home tonight.


Daddy and his boys!

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!

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!
