Mom's visit

Mom came to visit and I was able to get a quick picture before Morgan and Keegan left for school. It was so nice to have her here. We went to lunch everyday and just did nothing-how great that feels!

Chicago 2010

I made it back to Chicago this year with some friends and I even took a picture! Celeste, Janaye and I hit the Outlets in Michigan City on the way there. Wendy met us the next day for more shopping and dining!

We strayed from our tradition of a family theme this year b/c Cory and Morgan had to dress for their parts in the Jungle Cruise at Church. Cory was Teddy Roosevelt, Morgan was a Sailor. Robin Hood was Mom's theme with Keegan and Greg.

We call him Flash

Only the QB is faster than Greg on the Vikings. We were finally able to catch him on film, but notice how the shot is only when he was already down. His run is too fast for the camera to catch!

Touchdown!

Keegan had a successful season his last year as a Viking. It was fun to watch him progress and improve. A friend captured this touchdown for us. Mom wsa too busy screaming in the stands, and of course Dad was on the sidelines coaching.

Phyllis turned 80 this year! In order to celebrate, Bob took her "on tour" with 12 other family members to our house. He rented an RV, hired a driver, and catered a lunch for her to have in our new house. It was so fun to see everyone for this special occasion. We felt honored to be part of it.

Like Father like son

Keegan is much like his Father in that he likes to dress up. This is an example of him being silly at home. The boys were giving each other back scratches. Keegan's back scratch was over, and he wanted it to last longer, but his brothers told him his time was up. He decided to go undercover in order to get more time. This is the British guy he came up w/.

Football 2010

Three football players and one coach equals heartier appetites and too much laundry. I am trying very hard this year to learn all the boys positions and what they are supposed to do on the field. They sure look cute all suited up. This should be an exciting season.

Claim Jumpers

We went to the Temple w/ the Jacobsons last weekend. We really weren't rushed to get home. so I really wanted to eat at this place Rosalyn took me to a few years ago. I couldn't remember the name of the place. I kept calling it Gang Bangers, Rail Riders etc, etc. After failing to find those listed on Yelp, we got a hold of Rosalyn and found it it was Claim Jumpers! We had a great dinner and even better dessert. They had a 6 layer chocolate cake and an eclair that was the size of a football. Jana And I insisted the guys share w/ us...

Gregory had a Water Wars party for his 9th birthday. We had a slip and slide in the front yard that Cory extended with black tarps. They then played games w/ shaving cream, timed water bombs and races. They ended with a "war" of water balloons. Greg chose to have 2 ice cream cakes to celebrate-oreo cookie and peanut butter cup. I can't believe my baby is 9!
