Back to School!

It is hard to believe that summer is over and that school is back in session.  Where does time go?  I remember growing up that my parents would tell me "just wait until you get my age, time flies!"  Truthfully, I never believed them, but I sure do now.  We have had such a wonderful time together growing and going on our many adventures that the many more years and adventures to come can only get better.  Don't worry, we will share them with you.  Hope you enjoy this months adventures.
As mentioned in the last blog, Jayden has started flag football through the park and rec so evenings and weekends he loves to practice at home.
We went on a last of our summer adventures with Jeff's brother Chad and his family.  Attempting to go to Bay Beach, but were soon diverted to the race track since no parking was available.  The guys had a blast!
Stephanie and Gabbi were winning.
Chad soon caught up.
After go carting we headed up the road to the nature preserve.  Jeff dared me to hop into this turtle shell, but I soon found Jayden in it for me.  Thanks bud!
Feeding the geese.  The ducks and geese are very friendly when you have corn to feed them.  They will eat right out of your hand.

Are they as tall as this bear?
Great way to end the day is with smores!
3rd Grade! (I don't know why the pictures turned out hazy)
This months Nature Ranger class was about mammals and the kids were able to make molds of prints they may find in the woods.  Jayden made a bobcat.  (Plus, he lost his 2 front teeth)

Finding a deer track in the woods.
 
Our football star!
Flag football Game 1.  The team won 26-6.  Jayden's team is call "The Bears" and he loves his football.
Double header...game 2.  Team lost 13-24.  As his coach said "you gotta win some to lose some"!
 
Typical Jayden playing with the grass instead of watching his team.

Jayden's best friend joined us at a game and here are the boys cheering the team on.

 And they won game 3 24-18.
 
My stylish boy!  Or should I say not so stylish.

Best buddies!

Our poor boy was sick and needed to take nebulizers to help his breathing.  What a champ!

Jayden loves to make paper creations.  Yes, we go through a lot of paper and tape, but the creations are worth it.  Here he is showing off his weaponry.

 Our annual pumpkin harvest was a success again this year.  We are so blessed that my Uncles let us plant our crop every year and tend to it.

The kids together with their name pumpkins.

Taking a break!

Claudia with such a happy face.  She loves when her mommy sings to her.

The load!

We hope everyone is well and hope that the fall colors are cheering everyone up.
Until next time,
Jeff, Heather, Jayden and baby
