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! 

Busy fall

I keep thinking I need to post pics. So we are going to have a big post! School is back in full force with activities and birthdays. Labor Day weekend we started with celebrating sweet Cassie's 2nd birthday a little early. We had a cook out and the traditional volleyball game. 

Noah had to work and Jordan took a sick Victoria back to the house. So Andrew and I took on the boys. The game went well (meaning we were killing them). Until the ball got stuck in the tree and several shoes also got stuck trying to get said ball unstuck. Jordan and Andrew saved all stuck items and we were able to finish a couple more games.

Marching band season is in full swing. Can you see Noah? On the 35yd line in black shorts with a white stripe.

Now in the fancy new uniforms.

Lucas had some friends over for his birthday.

Noah marched in a parade for the Overland Park fall festival parade.

So serious!

Eli had friends over for a video game smack down. And yes one of his friends brought another tv and wifi to at to the fun!

Fancy Eli before his fall concert.

Family get togethers are hard to schedule sometimes, so we celebrated Lucas's bday late and Noah's bday early with most of the family. Jen and Princess Victoria were missing. Hope Victoria feels better.

Jordan I have no words! Eye roll but no words! Love you!

Best buds! I really love watching the boys play with their little cousins. So sweet!

Presents!

Maybe too many people on the trampoline.

Wrestling was discouraged.

Looks like someone hacked my phone. Homecoming is this weekend- so more pics to come. 

Happy birthday Eli!

Thought I would finally post the pics I took from Eli's birthday party. Eli wanted all his cousins to come so we had a cook out and everyone had a great time. Eli had his friends over Memorial Day weekend. I didn't get any pics bc keeping nearly 10 14yr old boys feed- was a full time job! He had a great time playing video games with his friends. 

I think the big kids like the park as much as the little ones do.

Yee-ha!!!

Gotta be like Eli!

This could end badly.

Boys will be boys!

I love seeing the kids play with Colin. He runs around with them and always asking them to pick him up. Noah was great giving him a piggy back everywhere.

The master minds! Growing so fast!

Where is Cassi going?

Thx Andrew for doing all the grilling!

Yummy food!

Cassi likes her cupcake!

After dinner, the kids wanted a kids vs grown ups volleyball game. Andrew, Jen, dad and myself took on the challenge. We played the oldest 5. After beating them badly, Eli and Scott decided to join the winning team and Jen played with the other boys. All the boys were shocked at the adults diving for the ball-even Papa! Hopefully we can get together again before school starts again. It's been a busy summer so far and can't believe it's almost July!

Happy birthday Tovi!

Today is Tovi's birthday! He spent the day napping. Rough life!

On our way to the pet store!

To many smells to pay attention to the toys.

Eli decided to carry him to help him focus better. Unfortunately it didn't work!

Birthday cake time!

All worn out! It's hard getting older. Happy birthday Tovi!

Needing some storage space!

So my phone keeps telling me I am out of storage space so I am guessing my lack of blogging is the problem. So I will update you so I can download these pics and clear my phone!

Eli after a concert!

Lucas aka William Clark for his hero project. Ask him about all the facts he learned about William Clark.

Ok now to free up this space for my phone! Hope your having a great day.
