Tait's Soccer Team October 2013

 Tait is a member of the Xtreme Spartans Soccer Team. We love this team and the great coaches he has. Coach Clubb and Coach Mack are excellent, patient, kind and efficient coaches.
Let's see if I can remember the boys names on the team:
Back row from left: Coach Clubb, Caleb, ?, ?, Taylor, Jonathan, Sawyer, ?, Jackson, Coach Mack
Front row from left: Dakota, Tanner, Dawson, Bubba, Tait, ?,?,?
Pretty good for not seeing some of them for a while, huh?

Here is one of the games Tait Played at in October 2013 when he was 14. Tait is #35 with the Blue and Pink and Yellow Nike soccer cleats.

 Half time advice from Coach Clubb.
 Waiting to go out to play.
 Running down the ball, Tait won.
 Their faces are priceless!

 Two against him and he's holding his own!
 Victory tunnel!

 Here's the goofy shot from their team picture. This is a great team!

Picking Pumpkins at Nana's House 10/12/2013

Nana Belnap always grows pumpkins in her garden for her kids and grandkids. My kids love going to her house to pick their own pumpkin out of her garden. 
Here is Amara with her perfect pumpkin.
 Sinjin is trying to decide if this is the pumpkin for him.
 Tait found the pumpkin for him. It's so big he can't even pick it up!



 Daddy is helping Kade carefully cut his pumpkin off the vine.

 Tiernan found hers!
 Sinjin found his!
 Here is Tait, dragging his pumpkin to the car.
 Of course we had to play with the new kittens too.




 And Nana helps Kade "hold" the big cat.
 Nana also grew these cool mini pumpkins. They really aren't pumpkins, they are more like a tomato, but they look like pumpkins.

 Happy Autumn everyone!

Tiernan's 13th Birthday 10/10/2013

Tiernan's 13th birthday was a special one. She officially turned a teenager! Her breakfast in bed of choice was Kneaders French Toast with Caramel Syrup! Yum!

 We went and woke her up singing Happy Birthday and gave her her traditional tin foil gifts!
 She was thrilled, can't you tell?
 Opening her gifts.
 Excited about her Samsung!

 Then we had a birthday party for her in our gorgeous basement :)
 With her closest neighborhood friends!
 They are so silly!
 Jordan, Alyssa, Arianna, Rylee and Tiernan.

 Party favors.
 Her "Birthday Cake" of choice, triple chocolate fruit pizza.



 Happy Birthday Tiernan! We love you a ton!

First Day of School August 2013

Yes, I'm that mom that makes her kids get ready extra early on the first day of school just so I can get pictures like these :) 

I just love these kids so much and I'm so proud of them.
