Go Colts!

The boys just finished their flag football season. What a hoot to watch! The league was 5-7 year olds but we asked if Andrew could join them since he was so close. They allowed him to be on the team. They were on the Colts. They each got a chance to run the ball and block. It was a great place for them to start.

Andrew's got some fast legs!

Will didn't like playing very much - cried when he got his flag pulled after running the ball. He announced right in front of all the parents that he didn't like flag football and didn't want to play. Then, he got 4 flags today....then, he started liking it! I guess he will be on defense!

Yeh Yeh and the boys

We had so many cheerleaders for the games! Both sets of Grandparents came - the boys loved being watch! Thanks for all the support!

Flower Power

Andrew loves giving me what he calls "sunflowers." If he sees them anywhere, he will pick them. I love it! As we were driving in the car, he commented that he wanted to move to that house (where he pointed) because of all of the flowers in the yard! Ha ha!!

Budding Artist

Josh walked into his office and found this:

Will drew Yituh or Yoda on Josh's whiteboard at church. I love it!!

Anderson's Apple Orchard

We took our yearly trip to the apple orchard. I went with Andrew and his preschool and we went again with Grandpa and Grandma. Of course, we had to have some apple fondue while we were there. When we got home, we made 2 apple pies and some caramel apples. I love this time of year!

Surprise!!

For my Dad's 65th birthday, we planned to surprise him at his favorite restaurant, The Patio. We met there Friday night and boy was he surprised!! Nicole, Blair, and the girls didn't end up coming since they were all sick with the flu. We missed them but had a good time.

Andrew and Uncle Chris (Andrew just loves him!)

The fam

my dad had extra wood laying around so they made a shelf(?)

they already love the power tools!!

When they were finished, the shelf had 30+ screws and nails in it. They had a blast working on it and are now in project mode. For my birthday, they made me a plant shelf. I love it!!

School Begins

I can't believe how the summer has flown by. I had a great summer with the boys and are continually thankful that I can stay home with the boys. But, all good things must come to and end! Will started 1st grade in early August...when did my baby grown up?? He was so excited on his first day.

It's been a couple of weeks since school started and we've had some bumps along the way. So, if you are a praying person, please say a little prayer for Will today.

Andrew was excited when school finally started for him. He loves it and is always excited to go.

Library Rewards

We love the summer reading program through our library. The boys read enough books this summer to earn some great prizes. Two of the prizes they each received were kid's meals from White Castle and free bowling games. So, before school started, we decided to give both a shot for the first time.

They LOVED White Castle!! Will had sliders and Andrew had chicken rings - really...chicken should not come in ring form. Will is already talking about going there for his birthday in May. We may have created a monster!!

Bowling was a blast! We had so much fun together! What a great day with my 3 favorite boys!!
