Fun and Games with Friends

 We didn't do a lot of  "getting together" with family friends this break. The kids actually saw several buddies. But the only time we hung out with friends as a family was once when the Hisers came over to help us eat our GIANT pork loin. (It was super yummy btw). We played games and the girls kicked the boys butts at Bounce Off!

I didn't get any pictures except this one of the kids playing with their friends. I am always happy when Teg and Landon can get together. They have been BFF's for so long and they truly really miss seeing each other!!

Jr High

This kid. How on earth did he get so old? He's my baby boy. And now he is officially a junior higher.
Here he is by his giant locker.

But the best part... he'll be there with this kid!!! Best friends for ten years and finally FINALLY at the same school! They only have one class together, but hey, there is at least a chance they will see each other. YAY!

We walked through the school, met all his teachers. He is already certain the Mr. Swanson is his favorite. :)

And the moms... I don't know how excited we are about JR High, but we are excited they're together.

Alice in Wonderland

My kids all had friends in the WWCC's summer kids play, Alice in Wonderland. So, of course we went! Aiden, Tegan, Bailey, Taysum... they all did great! I love how proud my kids are of their buddies.

Landon vs the Friends

Three of Landon's bff's are on the same team! Sam, Tegan and Jax were all in red this night! It was fun to see them all out there together, even if it felt like we had the wrong color on. It was a good game too. We went into overtime and lost by one.

And these kids were super happy to have each other during a game!

I love Bradyn in the background showing Seth his muscles.

Annie

Two of my boys' bff's were in the play Annie. Tegan and Taysum. So, my boys and I went to the show. It was seriously adorable! And it was so much fun seeing the guys. Tegan played Rooster and Taysum was Sandy the pup and man, I think he was the hit of the show. So stinking cute! The best part was seeing how very proud my boys were of their friends. They were almost star struck and so proud!

Football + Friends

Landon got to play his BFF the other night!

It was pretty fun!!

Winning, losing, color of the uniform, it really doesn't matter when your best bud is involved.

Love these boys!

Landon's Special Day

I love this kid. He had his meals and his day all planned out. And we had a great day celebrating with him!

For breakfast he wanted: Bacon, Sausage and eggs

We went to the movies: Guardians of the Galaxy and we took one of his very best buds, Tegan. It was a fun flick and then Teg came home with us to play for a bit before Landon went to football practice. He gave Landon possibly his favorite gift!--a super duper nerf gun that can shoot a gazillion bullets.

In the movies.

For a bit we were the only people in the theater and these silly boys thought that meant "dance time". They were boogying their bums off.

Before the movie this kid wanted a Baconator for lunch. So, we went to wendy's for bacon and frosty's. :)

For dinner he wanted smoked ribs and cheesy shells. Hmmm... I think he might be a meat eater... :)

We didn't eat dinner until 8:30pm because Landon had football practice from 6-8 and he wanted his dad to be there for dinner too. I surprised him with football donuts at practice.

When there are lots of birthdays all together and none of them are yours, it's rough on a 3 year old. We did our best to keep sister happy, but it wasn't easy.

Ice Cream cake!

We sure love this boy!
