Halloween 2013

What a blast yet again! These kids are a hoot and we love dress up in a theme. Not sure if we will get many more years when this is 'ok' but I relish in it now! I love my family!!!!

A change in seasons brings a change in sport for this awesome family

This weekend both our boys started a new sport...BASEBALL! Now, those that know me know my heart is elated. Jacob has spent the past 4+ years playing another great sport, soccer of course. He has much success and growth in those years but at the end of the season we decided the impact on our whole family was too big. I mean club soccer is almost a full time job by the time they get to Jacob's age. We wanted to have some of our other kiddos experience a sport as well as try something new.

We signed the boys up and Shane is actually Jacob's coach. He is taking is very serious and learning all he can about my beloved sport. He still laughs when he asks me about a specific rule or type of play and I can of course rattle off what it means or describe the play. He is amazed at my knowledge of the game, but he is WAY better with kids so coaching fits him perfectly.

The biggest bummer is out of the 10-12 games the boys play most of them are at the same time... no way for me to attend both. This weekend was the first weekend of games and I took my camera to capture Nathan and this exciting moment. In a couple weeks I will be able to make it to see Jacob and will post about him then.
