We decided to put Kaiden in football this year instead of soccer. I had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Over the summer he had practice 5 days a week for 2 hours a day, and then when school started it was 3 days a week practice, 1 day for chalk talk and then games on Saturdays! Ya it kept us all busy, and Kaiden dropped 15 pounds. He was an amazing first year player and his coaches loved him. He was a starting player for offense and defense. His team did amazing, they went to the play offs in 2nd position, but after a horrible game to the other Westlake team, they ended up taking 3rd place! It was such a great experience for him, and because of it we feel like we have gained a second family {our little football family}
This summer we decided we needed to get our yard done, the kids really wanted a place to play outside so we decided to do the front yard. Here are some before pictures of the house.
And after much digging, and rakeing, and sweat, and maybe even a little bit of tears, It looked like this! We still have some work and landscaping to do in the flower beds, but mission accomplished for now!
Now we are gonna skip to one of my favorite times of the year, Halloween! Here's a picture {not a very good one} of the pumpkins we carved.
And here is Abby with her pumpkin she carved all by herself!
Abby wanted to be Little Red Ridding Hood this year, and so we convinced Kaiden to be the Wolf dressed in Granny's clothing! I thought it turned out pretty cute, and Abby even took first place at her schools Halloween costume conteset!
We took the Kids to Tammy and Preston's house again this year for Trick or Treating! It was so cold and we got super wet, but they got tons of candy, about 4lbs for each kid!
We had a Halloween party on Sunday at Grandma and Grandpa Haun's house, and this is my little nerdy family all ready to go!
Kaiden and Madi both had Birthdays in November. Madi wanted to wait and have a big 16th Birthday party next year so we just celebrated with family on her Birthday. Kaiden had a huge party up at Classic skating with all his friends! This is the only picture I got of him by himself before he headed off to have some fun!
We rented the rockstar party room, and it had lots of fog, loud music, crazy lights, and of course Rock Band!!
The big group picture with most of his friends, it was so hard to round everyone up for a picture, but we tried! Happy Birthday Buddy!
So thats it for now hopefully I can try a little harder at this blogging thing, we shall see!
