Jakob's Bowl Game

Jakob's team won their last game of the season! It was a tough season this being their only win of the whole season. Jakob stuggled in the middle after being in a car accident and very sore, but decided that he was going to give 100% to his team each time no matter if they win or lose and stick it out til the end. He did just that, and I am so proud of him deciding to do that. He played some awesome games, one had us laughing because he blocked a field goal with his head! This last game he interecepted a pass, had a few sacks, and a few tackles for losses, and was just a huge part of almost every play. You could really see that he played his heart out. At the end of the game the coach handed out a medal to a player that grew to be a huge leader through out the season to Jakob. As you can see in the picture Jakob had a grin from ear to ear. Happy that his coaches noticed that he played his heart out, helped call plays, and talked to the coaches on the sidelines of the things that he saw that could help. The season ended in a bang for him. I am so proud to have a son like Jakob. He is very strong minded and truely a leader.

A Vacation for Mommy!

I got to fly into Seattle and visit my mom who was working up there on Whidbey Island for 5 days! We visted the San Juan Islands as well. It was so much fun! I really love that area.

My Good Looking Kids!!

Arent they cute when they are all dressed up? This is at their Aunt Amanda's wedding last weekend. They had a lot of fun. Colin refused to take off his "fancy clothes" and wanted to wear them the next day too. Im pretty lucky to have such a good bunch!

Growing Up Means..

Learning how to mow the lawn! This was Isaaks first time mowing the lawn. Dave taught him how to run the weed eater and how most importantly how to be safe!

Isaak turns 11!

Isaak's Aunt Hazel and Uncle Kenny threw him a birthday party at their house inviting his whole team to celebrate. They did a lot of swimming! Isaak got to choose what kind of cake he wanted me to make him and he said "all chocolate mom!" So thats what he got!

Colin turns 7!

This is totally out of order. Thats ok. Colin turned 7 in July! We had lots of family over to our house to celebrate. I made him a cake, and he got lots of presents. It was a great day! He is growing up!

Redskins Fans

While I was out of state Dave and the kids went over to their Nana's and watched the Redskins game. They all look so cute.

Back To School

I am a little behind on blogging. The kids started school again in the end of July. Jakob started 7th grade, Isaak started 5th grade, Colin started 1st grade, and Natalie started Kindergarten!

Meet Perry!

We did the unthinkable and added a new puppy to our chaotic house. He is a white Boxer. Colin adoringly named him "Perry" aka "Agent P".
