Weekend...

My parents and my sister's family came to visit this weekend and we were able to attend our niece's marching band competition! It was so much fun watching some of the bands tonight. We also celebrated a couple of birthdays and the cousins had a fun sleepover! We all stayed up way too late, but we enjoyed every bit of it!

 

Addition...

We added some pretty fun furniture to the basement this week! We are going to enjoy this space!

 

Dance!

The guys went to the homecoming dance tonight! They were able to meet some friends and they enjoyed showing off their dance moves!

Parade!

We enjoyed the Linn-Mar Homecoming parade tonight!

 

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Nick today! He wanted to go fishing so we went out to Palo for a few hours. It was a little hot, but we had a great time. A few presents at home and a nice steak dinner completed the celebration today! We love you so much, Nick!!!

 

Rare...

I had an appointment after school today and this is what I came home to... Conner and Ben actually had their homework out without me having to tell them! I had to capture the moment since it rarely happens this way! 

 

Academic Letters!

We had the absolute honor of watching our guys receive Academic Letters today at their high school. It is an amazing thing to watch your kids accomplish something we have all worked so hard for. They are truly the hardest working young men. This accomplishment is special in many ways, and maybe the most important lesson to remember here is that when people tell you something is unattainable... go out there and prove them wrong! We are so proud of our boys!!!
