The boys love to play their version of Blockus. It isn't at all like the actual game but they like it!
One night me and the boys played with some of our puzzle games. The younger two like Traffic Jam and Vance and I played Quadrillion.
There is a peach orchard not too far from our house with a cute market and the best homemade ice cream. I hadn't been out there all season so we joined all the other procrastinators on the last day the orchard was open this year. It didn't disappoint!
The boys went to Costco with me and once they saw the Halloween costumes they had to have theirs. Even though it was months before Halloween I figured maybe if I bought them early and let them play in them for awhile it wouldn't seem like such a waste of money. They love their ninja costumes and are thrilled with all of the weapons.
This little ninja still appreciates a game or two of Pretty Pretty Princess. I love it!
Keller's teacher posts pictures every once in awhile and I laughed out loud when I saw this one. This pose is Keller's favorite for sure!
Cotton candy grapes are my favorite! Their season is super short but I look forward to it every year.
I recently read a parenting book that I absolutely loved. It was about taking pressure off your kids to achieve "success" and helping them to find their own path and do things on their own. It had such good data and we have been trying to implement a few new things.
Keller is absolutely baseball card OBSESSED!!! He looks through his binder and spouts out stats all day long. It's cute to see how much he loves it.
Vance had his first ever volleyball game! He did great and had so much fun!
These two snuggles up so cute on the bed in Chad's home office that I couldn't help but snap a picture.
Keller's school had a week where grandparents were invited to lunch. Keller was thrilled to have Grandma come for lunch!
I brought home some cookies the other day and Sutton couldn't decide which one he wanted. It took him at least five full minutes to finally pick a cookie.
Vance went to an escape room with a group of friends. I love these boys!
Vance tried out for a club volleyball team. He was thrilled to make the team. It's a great group of boys with an excellent coach and I can't want to see how their season goes.
Sutton and Keller spend hours and hours playing their version of backyard baseball. The make up the rules, break them, yell, and cry. However most of the time they giggle and giggle.
Sutton got hit with a nasty bug. The poor guy slept almost all day and the only silver lining was I got lots of cuddles.
It's me and Leslie's birthday month. She sent me a cute little birthday banner to start off the celebration. I have gotten a few other fun little gifts.
I am loving my new silhouette and heat press. I absolutely love making shirts.
The boys have been loving it too. I love Sutton's shirt that says, "They call me ROJO." That's his nickname at our house so the shirt is perfect.
I've been waiting to make a few fall shirts. I think they're so cute!
Jennie wanted to craft one weekend and she had the idea of making leather earrings. There was definitely a learning curve but we did manage to make some cute earrings!
Sutton's preschool had Western Day with Dads. He loved having Chad at school and Chad said he was all smiles the entire time.
Keller was thrilled to have Chad attend Donuts with Dads.
Vance was part of his friend's haunted house for Halloween. He had a blast and it was pretty awesome!
Here are all of the boys in Vance's volleyball club. We look forward to continue watching him develop as an athlete! His club is awesome and he is loving every minute of it.
Sutton and Keller attended a friend's birthday party at a fire station. There favorite part was getting to sit in the driver's seat!
I started watching my friend's son every once in awhile when she works. He is the cutest little guy and I love it!
Vance bought a new scooter and absolutely loves it!
For Sutton's birthday last year, Amy gave him an indoor swing. Chad hates it and always wants to take it down but all three of the boys use it constantly. Plus I love that it keeps them out of the kitchen when I'm trying to cook.
The boys LOVE to play in the backyard. I love watching them run around.
Vance's 6th grade athletics class go to run through the tunnel at the Homecoming football game. He thought it was pretty awesome and the cherry on top was getting to be one of the first kids out.
Chad and I celebrated our 14th anniversary. It has been a busy time of year so we had a mellow celebration at home with a delicious charcuterie tray.
I took the boys garage selling one weekend and Keller was THRILLED to find a couple baseball games. They were actually really fun and right at his level.
This questionnaire really cracked me up!
Vance finished his first wood project - an American flag. It looks great and I am so proud!
How adorable is Sutton's school picture?!
The new gas station down the street has a fro-yo set up and the boys love it. I love to watch them thoughtfully select and place each topping.
Vance has been impatiently waiting to go to Fright Fest at Six Flags. The calendar finally opened up and Chad, being the Rockstar dad that he is, was happy to take him. They had a blast!
