Steelers jersey

Somebody got a special package in the mail today!

Her very own 1st Steelers jersey.

And, we just couldn't wait to ty it on!

Football Practice

This has became a thing most beautiful evenings.  Why not spend the time he is practicing letting the kids play with their friends and enjoying the weather because sadly its going to get cold soon and we will regret not playing outside while we could.

I really try to watch Connor practice but, unless Eric is around too - I only seem to get little bits here and there - that is if I have the other two.

Pool Party

This little cutie was very much enjoying our festival pool party. Rain and all..

Unlike me, her hair looks even cuter when the rains and is humid.

Those little curls!!

Bedford Football

Connor's football team the T-Birds had a family night at the High School Football Game. 

They tailgated, played a little football and got to go on the field making a tunnel as they bring out the High School Team.

 My pictures were not the best, they were taking with my cell phone and I was sitting up in the bleachers.

I did sneak one of Connor and his friend Carter when I went to grab him from his team.

and I stole this from facebook from another parent who posted it :)

since I wasn't able to get many that night!

Connor had so much fun, he looks up to all those High School Boys!

They even pulled off a huge win against St. Francis.

She found the phone

It was only a matter of time until she realized that the work phone gets a lot of attention around here so, why not check it out for herself.

Hi. I'm Rylinn - How can I help you?

The only problem we have now is that when it rings

we have to race her to it because she will grab it and say

Hiiiiiiiii.

Sunday Morning Snuggles

Check this out. 

He has only been in school for 3 days and when this little nugget realized he was home this morning she jumped right up on his lap.

There is no place she would rather be then spending as much time as she can with her big brother.

So Big

This little girl is looking so big to me these days! 

And.. she is looking super cute in her new pj's!

Yes, these pictures were taken at the top of the steps.

One of her favorite things these days to do is climb up and down the steps and it is nearly impossible to stop her.

I'm pretty sure that smile is one of a little girl who knows that she can out smart us and move the gate right out of her way.

They are off

Off to school that is! 

Both Connor and Zennon are off to their 1st day of the school year! 

Connor is in 3rd grade and Zennon is in Pre-K.

Rylinn and I are really going to miss having these guys around all the time!

Connor is a trooper; he is so over my back to school pictures. 

 Yes! we had to have some silly pictures too.

 Connor is so big, he didn't even need his mommy to walk him in this year:(
I may have shed a tear.
Don't get my wrong - I am very proud he is brave enough to walk in alone (we all know mommy is not that brave)
Thank goodness this little stud - needs me for the next couple years.
He was so excited by the way to start his new school!

Because.. why not..

School is starting soon.. And Connor is with friends..Zennon really wanted to go for a swim.. So why not!

It was a little chilly for me and Rylinn

so we played in the sand and watched Zennon enjoy.

Golfing with friends

Nothing says summer like spending the day golfing with friends.

Our team.

Wearing purple to support a good cause.

The ladies.

Everyone loves purple :)

Oh Joe..

I'm pretty sure this means - you had a terrible shot.

After dinner stop

When you and your family go dinner with Grandma and Papa by the Lake and the kids ask to go see it better, we took a little impromptu trip to see the beach and the lake (up closer).

 My three little loves!

 Zennon wanted a picture with just him and his "baby"

I love when I am able to snag a picture of all 3 of them together.  With our crazy schedule filled with sports, work, friends and family - Its somewhat rare for us all to be in the same place at the same time. Let alone get these three kiddos to sit together and take a photo!

Rylinn naps

This girl cracks us up when it comes to her naps. 

She would totally prefer to nap on me.  Most of the time I allow it for a good half hour or so

 but, then its time to really nap so, mommy can get some work done.

I think I could watch this little one sleep all day everyday though.

So sweet!

ICECREAM

We learned tonight that somebody loves ice cream!

She is all mine :)

She was too funny.

Summer Festival

Eric and I spent an entire week helping these amazing people set up Connor's school festival.

Not only did we spent the entire week setting up, we spent the weekend working the festival. 

 Had a blast with these ladies.

We had a photo booth set up at the festival..https://www.facebook.com/selfiesbykelly/

We couldn't wait to play after festival was over.
Boys having some fun on the rides.
