Cross country meet #2

Lucas who had a great birthday yesterday! Can't believe that I have three teenagers. Today he had another meet for cross country. He was in 47th place. I don't know how many kids there were but definitely more than 100. This was a much more challenging course- with hills. So proud of him! 

Go Lucas!

Family fun day

Church had family fun day- so I went with  my brother, sisters in law and my youngest nephews and nieces. So, after church- we headed out for fun!

4 adults - 5 kids- we got this!

The boys wanted to go down the shark slide first. I tried getting them all in the pic but Cassie had plans. She is in the background and not facing the camera. 😢

I was in charge of Victoria so Jen could take Cassie onto more exciting places. Waiting in line isn't exciting!!!

Back from their fun. Guess Cassie didn't try anything but had fun looking at all the stuff! 

Waiting in line for the rocket slide. Which Trevor says was not as fun as the shark! Tried again to get a pic of them all but Gigi busted it up! She didn't know I was taking a pic. And now we have 6 adults for 5 kids! Much better odds!

Hi to newest niece or nephew. Andrew says it's a boy but just once he should be wrong. Just because!!! His ego needs to be taken down, just once!!!

I needed to get out of the sun- so I went to the tents with Jen and Cassie to see if we could find a table. Luckily we found one right by the homemade ice cream booth. I enjoyed watching the guy run the machine. Reminds me of my Dad hand cranking ice cream when I was a kid.

Jules wasn't as happy with the location of my table because all Colin wanted to eat was ice cream. Oops! But Colin said it was yummy!

And so did Ty!

I got some but needed help with eating it. Victoria was happy to help eat it but not happy to stop eating to take a picture!

Trevor finally finished his brat and he gave the ice cream a thumbs up too!

Awwww cute! Jen and the girls had enough fun so they left to go home. I had ridden with my brother's family so we still had more fun to seek out!

Colin was jumping around in line. So I said "do you have ants in your pants?" So they all three are trying to see if Colin does have ants in his pants. 

Through the obstacle course!

We had a lot of fun! It was perfect weather! I am glad that I went!

Cross country- Lucas

Lucas had his first cross country meet last week against a local middle school. Due to heat his meet was cancelled. He was pretty bummed. If memory serves, he placed 17th in all of all the 7th graders. 

Noah helped tell me when to start snapping because I couldn't see over the guy in front. 

 Way to go Lucas!

Family pics

My sister took some family photos for me. I know I am biased but my boys are too good looking for their own good. Sometimes they all love each other at the same time. 

Noah the junior

Eli the sophomore 

Lucas the 7th grader

Julie did a great job and in less than 10 min so the boys were happy. 

My babies, always and forever. 

September birthdays

We celebrated the September babies over the weekend. Great weather and I really enjoy family time! No matter what, it always is home when we are together. Loud, obnoxious and stubborn. So thank for each and everyone. We will be adding one more to the family in March. Congrates Andrew, Jennifer, Jordan, Scott, Victoria and Cassi! Love you new baby niece or nephew!

Since we were all together, which is hard to do as they get older- we got a pic of all 10. Cute kids if I do say so myself!

Here's one without Julie's hand.

My sweet son! Calls and checks in on me! He is a good kid. Tired from working 8 hours at Starbucks. But he called every break and on lunch!

The September babies. Cassi really hates it when we sing happy birthday! Or just pictures in general. 

Nana and Papa are always good for a musical card. Andrew and Jennifer went with one in espanol. Lucas still doesn't know why!?!?

Rare siting of birthday girl enjoying her musical card.

Nana, always last! She likes watching the gift exchange much better than getting of the gifts. Thank you all for being flexible when I was feeling good. And happy late birthday to Cassi and early birthday to Mom and Lucas! Love you all!
