Football

Football season has started and here are a few pictures I took at Payton's game.  They so far have won both games and are off to a good start.

Below Payton is telling the huddle what play to they are running.  Payton is number 17 on the far right.

 Quarterbacking in the middle about to get the football.

Love this picture of Ben and Payton talking about the game.

About to kickoff.  Payton is the first one on the right side of the ball.

Labor Day

Labor Day weekend we had absolutely nothing on the calendar which was nice for a change.  We could just hang out and grill and enjoy the bountiful weather.  We went for a bike ride on Labor Day and stopped at the park for a family game of tag.  Then we stopped and through rocks in the creek and then came home to relax while Beckym took a 3 hour nap.  I think we will need to do the long bike ride more often:) He did think he was big stuff.  

Here is Scott trying to stay away from Payton.

 Cadynce stopping for a brief pose.

Trying to see the fish that were in the creek.

Throwing rocks.

Not sure why this one is like this.

Here are a few pictures I took when we went to Iowa this summer.  I have more of Beckym because the big boys were on the boat the whole time. We got to freeze corn while we were there and Beckym liked helping with the water outside.

Here Beckym is dealing with the hose and the corn in the bucket.  

The older boys relaxing on the pond.

Every so often Beckym had to taste the water to make sure it was still cold.

School

On August 15th Payton and Cadynce started school.  Beckym started on the 17th.  Payton and Cadynce were not excited about it at all as you can see from their pictures but Beckym was all about it.  I hope Beckym continues to like to go to school.  

Payton is now a big 7th grader! Its hard to believe that in another 2 years he will be in high school!! This year he starts playing sports for the school so sports will be a lot different this year but we are all excited about it.

Cadynce started 2nd grade this year and all he wants to do is go back to first grade:)

Beckym started his first year of pre school.  He likes going to school like the big boys.  He just cant understand why they are not done and able to come home when he does.
