Back To School!!

Well, summer had to finally come to an end!  It was a fun, quick summer!

The dogs had to be in the picture.  Simba knows Isaac loves kisses!  Maybe that's why Isaac doesn't like kisses?

We all survived the first day of school!  Praying it is a great year for all of us!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

The boys had a ton of fun playing baseball this summer and Abel and I had a ton of fun watching them!

The boys look tough in their pictures for their team!

Isaac and his good friend Jace, eating between games!

Silly boys having fun!

Brodie's team had a great year.  They won the Columbus tournament .  I think they were still undefeated at this point in the year.  

Nice trophy!

An aunt of one of the players took some pictures of Brodie's team.  So there are more baseball pictures of Brodie than Isaac.

The boys worked hard this summer to improve their skills!

Brodie's team won the AA Gold state tournament!  It was a fun year!

Summa Time!

We had a fantastic, too fast of a summer.  The boys got out of school a week early so their teachers could move into the new school for the next school year.  Our boys were not disappointed at all in this!

Last day of school 2018!

We had a lot more fun this summer than we did last summer (thanks be to God that we didn't move again this summer)!  We played in a miniature golf league and had a ton of fun!!

A toad tried to join us one week.

Isaac got to do the Husker football camp for the first time.  Brodie had a baseball tournament and only got to meet Adrian Martinez before going back to a tame!

Brodie, Isaac, and Adrian Martinez

Isaac and his best buddy, Jace. 

Isaac and Scott Frost!

Isaac learned how to mow this summer, so that was a big plus for me!

Looking good in my sun glasses!

The boys had fun at the Christian Laettner Camp with their friends Oliver and Charlie from Scottsbluff!

And there may have been a little baseball also....

Hair Cut!

The boys got their first barber hair cut recently at a Sports Clips.

The boys got a free shampoo, warm towel, and massage chair for their first cut. 

One of them loved it!

And the other one did not!

Brodie loved his hair cut and has been styling his hair for school!

Isaac did not like anything about the experience and really didn't want a picture to remember the day!  I'm sure he will sit still for Abel now for all future hair cuts!

Universal Studios

We had a great, warm time in Orlando over winter break!

Our vacation got started with a little hiccup in the emergency room before we left home.  Isaac fractured a bone in his elbow the evening before we left and Isaac and I were in the emergency room for hours the night before we left. 

They put a splint on him though, so Isaac was ready to go the next morning.  I, wasn't so bright eyed. 

We finally made it to Orlando and Harry Potter World at Universal Studios!

Gringotts! 

The goblins would talk and move!

We got to ride on the Hogwarts Express!

We went to Honeydukes and the boys were excited to get Chocolate Frogs!

The frogs didn't jump, but they did come with cards!

These are the cards they got in their chocolate frogs.

We stood in a lot of long lines for rides!  The rides were awesome and there was some entertainment along the way!

There was a photo session that came with our tickets.  I wasn't so sure about it, but it was kind of fun to do!

All of the places in the video were apart of Universal Studios.  We went to all of them. 

New Home, New School, New Job, New Friends, Same God!

Oh my!  Looking back over the last year, it was a tough year!  But God is good!  All the time!  And we are so happy to be in Hastings!  The boys are adjusting well to their new school and making some great friends.  They don't necessarily love some of the teachers, but they are happy overall!

Brodie is playing tackle football for the first time.  His mother isn't so happy about it, but he seems to like it so far.  He is still waiting to play his first game.

Isaac has had two flag football games.  He is the only player that has caught a pass in a game (one for a two point conversion) and he was the leading tackler (flag grabber) today. 

Isaac and some of his buddies after football practice. 

Both boys are making friends and have had fun having friends come over to play. 

Bishop and Isaac having fun as super heroes

Of course there is a lot of football being played

All the boys checking out the bugs Isaac and Jace caught

They also caught some toads

Tough guys

I like this picture because Jace was holding a toad for me to take a picture of and it jumped away (you can barely see it  jumping out of his hands)
