Grandparents day at school

Zach invited his grandparents to come to school for a special day. They got to do some activities and he interviewed them also. Both of Zach's grandma's were able to come. I know he was exteremly excited.

Pumpkins for my pumpkins! and playing in leaves!

So today was lot of playing in leaves and getting some pumpkins! We also made little ghosts to put in the tree. Here are a few pictures from today!

The Championship Game!

Zach has been playing baseball this fall and this Sunday started the tournament. It was going to be hard for the team to go all the way as they would have to play 3 games on Sunday to get to the last game, the Championship game! We got to the field at 11:15 a.m. Sunday to practice some before the game. The kids were ready and ended up winning the first game. We had 20 minutes to drive to the next game at a different ball park.


It was another tough fought game and again the team ended up on top!!! Talk about excitement! They were so excited about winning. We had 30 minutes to rest before game number 3 started. By now after playing about 3 hours of baseball the boys were getting pretty darn tired. They were trying their best to hit and run fast. And they overcame the other team to win and advance to the championship game.



The game was played at Billericay Park. http://www.eteamz.com/hsetravelbaseball/ And they were playing "under the lights". They had announcers for the game and used the score board also! Pretty cool for 1st and 2nd grade baseball. The other team ending up winning but the boys tried their best, just wasn't there night! Here are a few pics from the game!

Zach at bat! He hit great last night!

One more set! from this weekend

During the weekend the kids were carefully watching a 5 baby kittens they had found in the garage. They were *just* born and I mean just as in their eyes weren't even open yet! The momma cat moved 1 kitten but didn't move the rest as the kids were always checking on them. We finally moved the other 4 to the hay loft in the barn in hopes that the momma cat would feed them soon. So here are some pics from that.

We had an awesome weekend!!!

My brother Jeff and his wife Karrie and their kids came home to Indiana this weekend. We were able to go up on Friday night and be there Saturday to spend some time with them. They live pretty far away and are not able to come home a lot so we don't see them as much as we would love to! So we had a great time with their kids and spending time on the farm with Grandma and Grandpa.
