Fall's the Season for Football - Beau

Beau's 1st Football Season!

He wanted to stay home and play with the neighbors, but sure liked to be a part of the team when they won.

???? BEAU????

Beau never seems to amaze me?

He was playing army with the neighbors,

he kept this look for about 45 minutes.

The BIG 14!!!

Hunter with her friend Emmaleigh

on her 14th Birthday! They are both growing up and often argue with their parents.

Yeah for the teen years!!!
Hunters birthday present was getting her bedroom redone. Her main request was a chandelier that of course you can't see in this picture. My sisters Allyson and Ashley helped me shop for the table, ottoman, and chandelier on our girls weekend to Boise recently. Ashley and I painted arranged the room in 2 days. Ashley had her first lesson on how to hang a chandelier. It is nice to have Ashley close with mom in Chicago. We miss you mom and dad! Mom you would have loved to help put this all together, I learned from you how to take every experience as a challenge .

Thanks for your example!

Back to School

Well the kids are now back in school and I just took my boards for my LPN license. I can now officially work as a licened practical-nurse. Hunter is busily playing volleyball, soccer, and now basketball too. She is busy enjoying school, sports, and her friends. Hudson is playing soccer and football with Matt coaching his football team. Matt commented he doesn't think Hudson has a mean bone in his body. He doesn't like to tackle very much. Beau is busy being Beau. He's playing soccer and football, he doesn't like being busy after school at all. He would rather play with his friends than play any sports. His teacher called already to report that he's trying to see what he can get away with in her class. He's very smart when he wants to be, and a goof off the rest of the time. He's very similar to his daddy. Matt is busy working 12-16 hour days and often comments he needs a break but wont take any time off of work. As for me I am now waiting for school to start again and finishing up some home projects.
