 The final days of October are here, and we enjoyed them to the fullest! Thankful for special moments together here at home, freshmen football wraps up, a fun visit from grandma and grandpa, and more! Each year we have fun carving pumpkins, this year our younger guys were home so we decided to soak in some quiet, manageable time with them. They had fun!🎃 We enjoyed visiting with them after their day at school and hearing all about what went on in their day! They always make us smile. I love how Jakes got a sucker in his mouth while carving!😆 These boys are growing up so fast. One of my highlights during my week is walking with Amy, we had lots to chat about last week! This photo is really special to me as it’s one of my favorite spots to run and pray- someday I will be back there! Hoping in the next week or two.❤️ My parents came to spend time with us this week!

  40 ! Super fun to have a great weekend GetAway with Amy celebrating our 40th birthdays 🎂We were so excited to spend time together, just the two of us, relaxing and resting together. It was such a great time and we hope that we can maybe try this every year in our 40s!  The weather surprised us with a snow storm on our way to the Walkers cabin, is it October or December?! Either way it was so pretty and we were beyond blessed. Such a wonderful place! Great location and perfect scenery, so nice and quiet and peaceful. I was so happy to get out on walks with Amy and enjoy the beautiful snow. So many great chats on our walks together, and lots of smiles. Fun playing cards and Sequence!  Great food too, we brought way too many snacks but nice to have lots to pick from! Amy brought some great treats from Aldi I hadn’t tried before like spinach and artichoke dip and guacamole chips! 😋  Morning walk and lake view! Our weekend went by so fast... is it really time to go home already? We stop

 We celebrated Drew’s 15th birthday on the 9th and he requested a taco bar for supper and dirt cake for dessert.  He is so much fun to celebrate and love! Great night. Kyle and I took Drew out to lunch for his birthday and he picked Cancun! The beef chimichanga is his favorite and we had fun visiting and catching up with our busy man.  Jake had his friend birthday party and had an absolute blast having all his buddies over from school and his best friend Easton. They played football, basketball, night games, and ate lots of boy foods- 🍕🧁  It was noisy but super fun and easy! These boys LOVE spending time together!!! Happy 9 Jake!!😃 Presents and Excitement! Group photo😊 We are so blessed Jake is surrounded by all these great boys! So glad they could all make it and help make Jake feel so special. Drew had his own fun with friends on his birthday at a haunted hayride! We are also so thankful Drew has great friends who encourage and care so much for him.  Drew had a great birthday spe

 It has been fun seeing these guys in action this fall. Although so different not having other family and friends joining us in cheering them on, we were thankful they were able to stay active with their friends!                                                     Caleb enjoyed his first season of Cross Country running, the guys ran 2 miles in their meets and Calebs fastest time was 15:45😊 of course I loved cheering and running around the course! Great running and weather! Micah enjoyed his first season of tackle football! They were undefeated playing only 3 games  this season during  COVID. He really enjoyed the season!🏈  Caleb and Micah have wrapped up their fall sports this week and look forward to starting up basketball soon. 🏀
