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?

Homecoming Dance

Zach had his first homecoming date.....

Zach and Christine

Romeo Homecoming game & tailgate party!

Aaron and his 8th grade football team

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.

Field trip

Football's back

Aarons football season has begun- practice every day after school and games on Tuesdays.

We had our first loss to Lanse cruese south 16-6 but our 8th grade team is ready for the next few weeks and feel confident they are going to have a great season.

Yes! Aaron is about 5 foot 11 (maybe taller now) and 155 pounds.. He is loving every minute of his sport!
Look out NFL-

Matt is coaching with Coach Cali this year, specifically helping with 8Th grade since that is the grade Aaron is in; and since dad is there every day and Aaron is there every day Noah decided to get in on the action too-
he is helping with stats and is very happy to do so- (6Th graders do not get to play sport with the exception of intramurals), so while helping with stats for football he gets to wear a jersey too! That is him on the side lines wearing number 1!

Hockey

Intramural Hockey

Noah had his first hockey game today at 2:45
They won 6- 3

I do have pictures and will try to post them soon....

there is barely time to breathe right now
but I promise to post them before the week is out:)

(okay here you have them.....)

He also had a soccer game Saturday, they won BUT
I was at Zachs soccer game in a near by town- no picture
of Saturdays game however Noahs team is off to a good start.

They are 2 and 0

In the kitchen

Aaron is getting quite proficient at being in the kitchen these days.....today he made
scrambled eggs and bacon, and you have to love the apron. (He did not want to get grease on his shorts or shirt; he took the shirt off but still needed to cover his shorts, he is so funny)


I am thinking someday i can use this photo for bribery:) but I relish in the fact that someday his wife will thank me!

first day of school

For the first time in a few years Micah has had to wait for the bus by himself- well actually now that I think about it( and it makes me sad) ....this is the first time he has been by himself. In Kindergarten he went to Kings kids which was just across the street from our house.... no bus! Then he had Noah and Aaron the year he went to first grade. Last year for 2nd grade he had Noah- this year, Noah is off to middle school and Micah was by his lonesome......

So Daddy played basketball with him, after he got good and worn out from that he took a little break......
Then it was off to wait at the neighbors next door, they have 3 boys going to the same school so the bus stops there.....
see you later alligator......

Labor Day

Peach Festival

Micah and Noah
on the bumper cars-
this is some spider ride-
It spins! after this ride they were done:)

I think they are like their mommy with the idea of spinning rides..... I love the roller coasters
but spinning????????

I have a picture of these two guys- Aaron and Jacob, sitting in this same spot on this day when they were like 2- the only thing that has changed is their size!
Let the parade begin...... The Romeo High school Marching band ......

always my favorite - the Bagpipers The Senior High worship band- That is Zach on the bass

They played in front of a business on main street both Saturday and Sunday night.

Austin

Jake and yes.... that is Aaron in the pink hat!

Don't ask, cause I don't know.......
