Boo Box!

The Boo Box arrived from Nana and Gramps today! Cookies and vampire teeth! Conner and Ben loved it!

Down Time...

We have had a couple of really busy weeks. Seems like any free time we might have has been taken by something that we hadn't planned on! (For example, Conner fell at school, scraping his entire face including the lens of his glasses. A trip back to the eye doctor had to be fit in...) We had another 8 am soccer game this morning. After washing off all the dirt and mud, the guys had some technology down time, while they waited for the Iowa game to start!

Another "Party!"

Today Mama, Papa, Great Grandpa, Nana, and Gramps all came to watch the boys' soccer game (which ended in a torrential rainfall!) Nana, Gramps, my sister's and my brother's families joined us later for a little birthday celebration for Nick and Curt. The kids all enjoyed the cake Nana brought and the adults, not only enjoyed the cake, but some fun time after the kiddos went to bed!

Parade!

Today we got to watch the Homecoming parade on our street! The boys filled their bags with candy!

Fourth Grade Pics!

Saturday Soccer and Fireworks!

Our Saturday morning started early with an 8am soccer game! We ended our day with some sparklers before we watched the Swamp Fox Festival fireworks in Marion that we can see from our street!

Nick's Racing Day!

Today we headed to Knoxville so that Nick could race his own late model! He was very excited and we couldn't wait to watch him! We got him a "racing experience" for his birthday, so he has been eagerly anticipating this day!

After listening to some instructions, the group that Nick was in walked across the track to the pits to get all ready to race!

There is Nick, all suited up!

And here he is, getting into the race car!!!

It was time for Nick to take the track! It was awesome watching him leave the pit area and make his way onto the track!

Nick did so good!!! He was so excited after driving the car! This was such a great experience and I am so glad that Nick got to check this off his bucket list today!
