Take down!
This is what the little ones were doing during Colton's recent football game. Ty is not afraid to get in the mix. As cute as this video is, its actually not the funniest takedown that occurred. Ty puts his mind to it and gets Tucker down to the ground. I didn't get the best one on video though!!

Last Football Game
Colton's last game of the season was tonight. He played a ton, and was actually one of the captains. He also played alot last week at their last home game. He's been over the moon, needless to say. We are so proud of him! Tonight, he really got in there and hustled and got in on the action. He knocked a ball out of the air, ending the opponents drive, and ALMOST caught it for the interception. The Tigers won 40-0. They finished the season with only one loss, and it was the only close game of the year. Go Tigers!!!
My boys........
Alldredge Orchard
I took the boys to a local apple orchard yesterday to blow off some steam. We had a fun time picking apples, looking at the animals, playing on the playset, and crawling through the straw tunnel. I especially got a kick out of Ty on the slide. It was quite entertaining! Make sure you watch the video clip!
Ty got a new Handy Manny backpack for his birthday. Now, he wants to be like his big brothers whenever we go out the door. He likes to put it on saying, "Ty go to cool too" Isn't he the cutest?!
It dawned on me that I hardly ever post pics of Caitlyn. Well, that's because I don't have very many. I thought this was a perfect one though.
Wild, Wonderful West Virginia
Berkeley Springs High School Class of 1988
Columbus Day weekend, Mike and I traveled to West Virginia for his 20th Class Reunion--man he's old! We had a wonderful kid free weekend and it was alot of fun to meet some of the people he grew up with. Normally when we go there, we get together with his childhood best friend, but I'd never met anyone else. The weekend was filled lots of class activities, and alot of "beverages" were consumed (we weren't the only ones traveling with no kids!!) The pics are from our viewpoint on the Apple Butter Festival Parade float (the second is of Mike's family watching the parade), and the classmates that were in attendance on Saturday night.
A few more pics from the farmstead. The one of the hands is Tucker and Mike on a mining expedition. Mike really enjoyed it and said the next time we go, he's taking extra money for it! Ty wasn't too cooperative all day, as you can see from the family pic in the previous post. The big kids were off most of the day doing their own thing, so Tucker was the only one really picture ready. Well, him and the buffalo.......
Deanna Rose Farmstead
We went to a really cool place in Kansas City called the Deanna Rose Farmstead the day after Ty's birthday. It is named for an Overland Park police officer killed in the line of duty. It includes a petting zoo of sorts, with mostly farm animals. There is also a buffalo, a longhorn, a butterfly garden, nature trail, a couple of playgrounds, and a whole lot of other kid friendly activities. The kids were able to watch a cow being milked, go mining for "gold", and visit an old one room farmhouse. For the fall, they have a small pumpkin patch with some fall kids activities as well. Fun was had by all and we can't wait to go back and spend a little more time.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TY!!
Ty has a huge love for "The Little Einsteins". Although we didn't have a big themed party this year, we did go for a Rocket cake. Our neighbor does all kinds of cakes, and all I said was a rocket cake, and this is what she came up with. I was amazed! We all loved it, it was beautiful--tasty too! We had a great evening with a few of our friends, and Ty was thrilled with all of his new toys. Thank you everybody!!
