Drew's Birthday!

I can't believe that 12 years ago we had this cute little baby boy. He was so cute as a baby, and so easy going. He is a great kid, we love him and are so proud of him and the young man he is becoming. For his birthday we helped him open a savings account and now he can deposit all of his birthday money in it. He also got a game and a movie and a sweatshirt. We went to Cedar to a movie and Drew got to choose where to eat. We hope he had a good day!


A special thanks to Aunt Annette for making Drew one of his favorite desserts, frozen chocolate pie.

Weekend in Minersville

This weekend was first spent with Erin and the kids. Thanks for coming to Drew's football game, we had a good time with you guys. Then we headed to Minersville because the cousins were there (most of them). Of course we always have a good (loud) time there.

Here is the goofy bunch being themselves.

Here's Grandma Vie and Addyson

Boy, Grandpa looks tired (wonder why)

We celebrated Drew's birthday while everyone was there.

Cydney and Derrik chillin with all the nieces and nephews.

Football

Drew played football this year. He was very excited to play something different and he likes football. He only go to play a few games, but it was enough for us. He plays on the offensive and defensive lines. He is # 81. The league consists of 6th, 7th and 8th grade kids. He and one other kid were the only 6th graders. As you can see he is as big as any of the 7th or 8th graders. I think he has had a good time and we have being able to watch him.

Soccer

Soccer finally ended. It was fun, but a lot of work. I coached Camri's team and then Alyssa and Drew played. Drew's league is quite competitive, but his team won the championship and he got a little soccer trophy. I think the kids had a lot of fun and it is good for them to do something different than they normally would do. No pictures of Drew, just some video.

Camri's lost tooth

Her tooth has been lose for about a week and she did not wriggle it because she didn't want it to fall out because she would look weird. So when she woke up this morning it had fallen out and was just in her mouth. We're glad she didn't swallow it. Of course pictures are on Thursday.

Alyssa's Assembly

Each class in our elementary school does an assembly. Alyssa's class (4th grade) did their talent show last friday. They did a talent show and Alyssa did her gymnastics. I have a video of it, but the file was too large to post. I will show it to anyone who wants to see when I get a chance. The whole school was amazed at what she did. This is her and her friend Jentri after the assembly.

Our busy day

Wednesday's are our busiest day of the week. We didn't try to make it that way, it just happened. All three kids play their soccer games on Wednesday and Drew has karate on that same day. It makes it a little harder because I coach Camri's soccer team. Also Drew is playing football and he has practice on Wednesday nights. Last week Drew had his promotion and he was able to get a new belt. He is on the way to his black belt. We are so proud of him. Thanks to Grandma's and Grandpas for coming and supporting him.

Here is a picture of Alyssa being the goaly for her team. She does a good job and hopefully we can get some more pictures of her playing.

This is a video of Drew playing soccer. Well he is at least chasing the ball.
