Soccer, too!

Corey soccer season has started. He likes playing. He sees his friends. He is also trying to work in Boy Scouts and of course, he has his school work. He brought home really good grades on his 1st nine weeks progress report. We are proud of him.
Run, Corey, Run!

Corey's got the ball and going for the goal!

Corey is goalie during 1st half of game. He loves being goalie.

Football Season Is Here

The Patriots football season is in full swing! Tyler actually got playing time on this 3rd game of the season. He was on the kick-off team. He took some really hard hits by boys much bigger than him. He would jump right up afterward and be ready to play. I asked him after the game that they won 28-8, how he liked playing. He answered "It was so fun!" Corey is playing soccer so I will post some of his game pics soon.

Pete and Grace's Birthday

We celebrated Pete and Grace's birthdays on 09/07/08. Their birthdays are actually the next day but Sunday was a good day to have a party. Pete turned 35 and Grace turned 2. Grace's friend, Avery, also turned 1 on the same day. We enjoyed having everyone at the house for their party. Grace and Pete received many nice gifts. Grace loves her baby doll, coloring, reading books, and dressing up. Emily showed Grace how a true princess waves her wand over everyone. Grace and Pete thoroughly enjoyed the homemade ice cream. For the week before her birthday, if you asked Grace what she wanted for her birthday, she would say, "I creem".

Grace's First Haircut

Grace got her first haircut on 09/04/08. Ann and I took her to our stylist and had a girl's day at the beauty shop. She did really good. Only got a little antsy but I whipped out Llama, Llama, Red Pajama and all was right with the world again.
