Christmas tree hunting......

Halloween

Halloween was fun and exciting this year. Eli went as Frankenstein. Zachary went as an alien. Aidan was Darth Vader. We went with some good friends and had lots of fun!!! Eli got to go with his good buddy Chase this year and he and Johnny took turns pushing him in his wheelchair. Of course, we loaded up on tons of candy and by the end of the night the kids and us were exhausted!!

Happy 12th Birthday, Jacob!!!

I can't believe we have a 12 year old!! Almost a TEENAGER!!! I do have to say he is such a good boy! He does not have the teenager attitude...yet. I hope he continues to be the sweet, caring, responsible and good boy that he is. He is such a great role model for his little brothers and we tell him that all the time!! We are so proud of you, Jacob!! Happy Birthday big man!!! We love you!!Jacob at 13 months....

Jacob at 5 months old.... my, he was chubby baby... I love the baby fat!!!

It's football time in Montague!!!!!

Well, as the caption says it is football time in Montague! The boys are having a great time!! Zachary has been filling in as QB until Luke is healed. He did very well for his first game. He was so nervous!!

Jacob is doing very well too. His team is undefeated so far this season. They have a really good team. He had a 55 yard touchdown run on Saturday against Oakridge. They ended up winning 46 to 6. Great game!!

Eli is doing well too! He is running the ball and playing a lot of defense. He loves to tackle! He's having a ball!!

He is grown into such a sweet, funny, handsome, athletic, caring and smart boy! We are so proud of him!! We love you very much!!! Happy 10th Birthday Zachary!!

Zachary 8-9 year old County All-Stars

Zachary had a great tournament! They ended up taking 4th in the county losing to Roosevelt Park. He had a great time and did really well. He pitched, played at short and 2nd base. I love to watch him play! We are very proud of you, Zachary!!!

State Bound......

They did it!!! White Lake All-Star team is going to the State Tournament!!!!! How excited we are!! Jacob had a great tournament!! He did great on defense and offense. He made some great plays starting short stop!! He hit the ball very well, too! This team is very good this year! They play so well together! It will be fun watching them in a few weeks! Stay tuned for more pics!!!

Home Run!!!!

On Saturday Jacob had his first home run! How excited we were for him!! He had a 2 run homer!! I had my camera there but do you think I got a picture of him? No, instead I was jumping up and down and yelling and taking it all in!! Kevin was jumping and yelling too! It was quite funny! How proud we are of him!! His teammates were so excited for him, too! We ended up winning 12-0. What a great game!!

Great Job Legion!!

American Legion took 3rd place in the league! It was a fun year!

League Champs!! Good Job Morden Construction!!!

Gus Macker fun!!

Gus Macker was an experience for Jacob. The boy who is all about being fair really learned the hard way what "street ball" was all about!! I can't believe how physical this game is! Jacob kept waiting for the ref to call some fouls but they pretty much let you play however you want!! Their first game they lost only by 4 points, which is great considering they were down by 7 at one point! They finally got the hang of it half way thru the game! The second game they won 14-4 so they were in their game!!! Then Sunday came- they lost 14-11 and it was a tough loss! He had so much fun for his first experience with Gus Macker! They are already talking about next year and what plays they are going to do! In fact, Zachary and Eli already have their team picked out to play next year! So, it looks like it's going to be an annual event for us!!!

Jacob and Zachary All-Star bound.....

Jacob and Zachary are having a great year at baseball. They both made the All-Star team again this year. They both have been pitching, playing short and Jacob has been catching a little bit this year too. They are so fun to watch!! Stay tuned for more pics from the All-Star teams!!!

Living, breathing, watching baseball..........

Elijah and Aidan doing what they love!!!

Eli and Aidan had so much fun playing T-Ball and Coach Pitch baseball. They did so well!! Eli only lost one game the whole season! And, according to Aidan and Tate they did not lose any games! They both kept track of the scores- they are too funny!!! What a fun year for both of them!!!
