Fall!!

Grandpa & Grandma were here this year again at Halloween, so they helped the boys with their pumpkin carving. We went trick-or-treating that evening - Bryce as a pirate, Dylan as an army man/hunter and Cayden as a Texas Longhorn football player.


After we got home from trick-or-treating, we ate the pumpkin shaped chocolate cake that I had decorated that day.


This year our schedule didn't work out to where we could host another Halloween party, so our good friends, Dave & Rose had it! We had lots of fun-not everyone dressed up, but this was the crew that did! Bryce went as a pirate, Dylan as the Texas Longhorn football player, Cayden as a Motorcross guy & Dave as a curly-haired dude with big sunglasses!!

Misc. pictures

It's been quite a while since I've posted pictures, so I'm recapping a little over the past couple of months so I'll have something to look back on someday!


At labor Day, a few of us kayaked the river behind us. It was a really fun day- about a 2 hour trip on the kayaks & canoes.


This was a regular enjoyment this summer with all of our hot days- the boys on their kayak in our pond. They also rigged a rope off of the pier to swing out into the water. Fun, fun, fun with boys!!


The newest adventure in the Egger household! They caught on ALOT faster than I did!


The boys on a Sunday morning- it's kinda hard to get a real serious picture of these 3! Aren't they handsome, though?!!


Soccer season has been fun with all 3 of the boys this fall. Bryce's team got 2nd place in their league and go to the play-offs this weekend again. Since they went last year, it has been a BIG goal of the kids and the coaches to make it back again, so it was pretty exciting when they did! They had a really good season!

More misc...

1st day of school this year. Bryce is in 4th grade and Dylan is in 2nd grade.


Cayden just turned 5 in August, so we decided to wait one more year on Kindergarten. So, he's going to a private school Kindergarten that is pretty much 1/2 days with the exception of 2 days that are full days. A great way to work into full blown kindergarten next year! (the glare was pretty bright, so this is the best picture I got!)


The boys with their 'worker buddies'! We sure did enjoy our past year with Loren & Silas and Dan was here the last part of it.

Hiking Mount Manadnock

While we were in New Hampshire, the 3 guys took the 4 oldest boys on a hike. They had lots of fun and had lots of stories to tell when they got back!


After a few hours... finally to the top! Bryce,Aidan,Ethan,Dylan


The whole crew!


Dave with Bryce & Dylan


Brian with Ethan & Aidan


Brian, Paul & Dave- these 3 guys took many trips together when they were all single, and many were hiking trips. I'm sure it never crossed their minds that they would be taking their boys all hiking together someday!

(I did it again, and got these posts out of order, so the "New Hampshire' post is the first one of this trip.)

You always have to make time for the 'formal' pictures!!


The boys all dressed up and ready for meeting Sunday Morning.


Our Family


Brian & Lindi, Ethan and Aidan


Paul, Cheryl and Pierce

Oh my, this little guy just stole all of our hearts!! Pierce was 6 months old here, and at that really cute age! Isn't it amazing that the 3 guys all have little boys! :) We have some really fun years ahead of us!


Lindi always buys the boys matching shirts when we get together :)


Enjoying the bikes & scooters


We 3 ladies had a really fun time together also!


We took the boys for a hotdog one evening and ice cream afterwards.

New Hampshire Trip

We had a fantastic trip this summer to New Hampshire to visit our friends Bian & Lindi, Ethan and Aidan. Paul & Cheryl and their new little guy, Pierce met us there also. The 3 guys, Dave, Brian & Paul were good buddies in their growing up years and took lots of awesome trips together...until they got married! :) Now, we try to meet up every year or 2 at someone's house. They boys all got along great this year again and we had a really fun time!


All the kids (big & small!) had fun on the gocarts and mini bike.




Bryce took Mommy on a ride!
