Trick or treat on Tillson street

We have lived here for 13 years now and have never gone to Tillson street on Halloween. This year Matt was gone so the boys and I decided it was time to do something different. After giving candy out in our own neighborhood for an hour we took off downtown. What a shock! It was packed- we parked at Celebrationz hair salon and walked across the street- on Halloween the roads are closed because there are so many people. I had no idea! The decorations were great- if you are from the area you will appreciate the bulldog grave yard! Hysterical! There were even t shirts printed "I survived Tillson street". We had a good time the weather cooperated and and we created a new memory!

HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY MATT!

Happy Birthday Aaron!

WOW- He is 14 years old, seems like only yesterday but a whole lot bigger, at the last appointment for a physical in August he was 5 foot 11 and 155 pounds. A far cry from the 6 pounder 21 inches I delivered


We celebrated Aaron's birthday in conjunction with all the homecoming festivities this year!
After the game most of his 8th grade football team came over for a bonfire and smores, a walk through the cornfield in our backyard((hence the baseball bat, bunch of scardy cat football players afraid to walk in the cornfield themselves)) and a sleepover- it seems Aaron has a lot of friends:) we sent out 10 invitations and 23 boys showed up plus a few girls:) the girls we promptly sent home- and Aaron had a little explaining to do as well as a little apologizing to some very sweet girls (mom just isn't ready for that yet)
The cake below was moms attempt at a brownie football cake- tasted great just did not look a whole lot like a football huh?

tailgated with Pizza!

Go team! the fans form a tunnel and the football teams walks from the middle school to the stadium in their full gear- they sure look BIG! oh wait they are big.

Juniors did the superman and won 1st place -

I thought the spider man float was amazing and should have won but they came away with a 3rd place finish!


Sophomores made this float and came in 2nd place!

WDIV Channel 4 was there cause we were the game of the week!

by the way we did win the game

36-0 I think was the final score.

We had a lot and they had zero.
