Missing Krysta

Krysta is doing well and staying busy in Florida. If she's not studying, she's running cross country. I think the first month was more of an adjustment than she realized it would be, but hopefully she is in a routine now and enjoying college life. Here are a few pictures from cross country fun... two taken at Daytona Beach after their meet, nice and early this morning. We can't wait til we get to see her on Christmas Break. We miss you Krysta!! Love you!

The Coach Stands Corrected

Actually... it would be the Assistant Coach of Jake's Soccer team. Just had to share this funny (at least his mom thinks so) moment. After making his third goal today and running over to the sidelines, Jake's asst. coach all nice and pumping the kids up says, "Way to go Jake! You made two goals!" To which Jake high fives him and says, "Actually, I made free" and holds up three fingers. His team won 10-1 today... but we don't keep score. ;)

Soccer Saturday's Begin

This is where we will be spending our Saturday's for the next couple of months... the soccer field. Jake's team is the Sharks and it's very basic... no refs, no keeping score... just aiming the kids towards the right goal and pretty much just hoping your kid gets the hang of it and has fun. Jake's game was at 1:00 today and he was in his uniform as soon as he got out of bed today. It was all he could talk about until time to leave... he was so excited. For awhile Jake only seemed interested in us and if we were watching him so he focused more on us on the sidelines than he did on the game itself. But, as the game progressed he started getting the hang of it and did get two goals. Thankfully... the games only last an hour. Maggie spent her morning at a cheerleading clinic with one of the local high school squads. She will get to perform at halftime with all the girls at the next home football game.

One excited little boy... ready to go to school!

Jake's new back pack. He chose Star Wars over Spiderman or Batman because this is the game he plays on his friends Wii.

Labor Day Weekend with Family & Friends

We hope everyone had a nice, enjoyable long weekend. Jeff's sister Angie and her husband Dallas were in town so we were happy to get to visit with them. The kids had fun spending the night with friends, swimming, riding 4 wheelers, watching movies, and playing video games as the summer starts coming to an end.
