Fall Fun

I'm still alive, friends.  :)  It's really not on purpose that I post once a month, I promise!

Last month Katie and I took Ky to one of our local pumpkin patches.  So fun!

Fun and family - that's what we're up to these days!

Kyler + Flint = Showstoppers!

A couple weeks ago we had the pleasure of spending the entire weekend going to PBR events here in Springfield with my family.  (For you non-country folk, PBR is Professional Bull Riding.  ;)  )  The grand finale - Kyler not only was the PBR Fan of the Night on the last night, but he even got to go out to the middle of the arena and dance Michael Jackson with Flint!!  Just watch the video and you'll get it.



Needless to say, I'm a proud aunt!!  And we were all hooping and hollering, of course.  And, he was on national TV!  PBR plays on a channel/station called Versus and they showed a clip of him dancing with Flint.  So fun!

Kyler is 5!

Amazing to me that he can be five years old and going into Kindergarten this fall.  We love Ky so much and pray he grows to be a man after God's own heart.  Here's to your 5th Birthday (which was actually July 11 :) ), my sweet nephew!

Slip 'N Slidin' Fun

A couple weeks ago Kyler called to see if he could bring over his Slip 'n Slide to play with Uncle Daniel.  (I had told Daniel how excited Daniel got when he saw one for sale, so she and Ky were happy to share his Diego slide.)  We had lots of fun and ended up with plenty of grass cuts from sliding off  into the grass!

I hope to have some video up soon.  Soo much better than the pictures!

Of course, as much fun as this was, we had to get one where we could race!  The next weekend Daniel bought a 3-person Slip 'n Slide complete with flags to grab at the end.  This time Katie and Josh joined in the fun. :)

We Are the Champions

I'm sure the neighbors could hear all the yelling from our house last night as we (well, Daniel) celebrated the Lakers winning the playoffs.  When he called Steven to celebrate I could hear the yelling through the phone across the room.  As you probably noticed in our family pics , we are a Lakers house.  Daniel was born and spent the first 9 years of his life in L.A.  So, yes, we both had our jerseys on last night like good fans. :)

Daniel and Ky getting ready to watch game 5 :)  (phone picture quality, of course!)

Soccer 101

My nephew, Kyler, is playing on his first sports team this spring and we're all excited it's soccer.  So fun to watch the little guys run up and down the field!

Fun facts from the first game:  Ky went to the middle of the field and started doing push-ups - his coach thought it was great.  He told my mom she needed to yell, "Go, Kyler, Go!"  I watched the video my mom recorded, and believe me, she listened to him and yelled for him the entire time!  :)

I wasn't there for the first game, but I made it to the second so that's where these action shots are from.

Last Weekend

**I have lots of catching up to do.  We've been without internet for most of the week, but I have more to share.  These photos are from last weekend.  What fun!  More to come later this weekend.  Enjoy your Saturday!  Hope it's as beautiful as ours!  Now off to the park with Noah...

Ready for a rematch

As my mom's email said when she sent the following pics:
Be afraid, be very afraid.

Leave it to Nana and Papa to go shopping for Kyler and prepare him for the next battle with Uncle Daniel!  Talk about an upgrade!

Nerf War in Action

It's a little later than you may have expected, but here are the photos from the Uncle vs Nephew Nerf War last night.  So fun!

Uncle/Nephew Nerf War

We had the blessing of having my nephew, Kyler, over for the evening.  The highlight of the night for Kyler was definitely getting to play in a nerf war with Uncle Daniel.  As soon as he got done eating supper he went to find his nerf gun that Uncle Daniel got him for his birthday.  The other toys at our house hardly exist ever since he got that gun! :)  

It was so fun watching them attempting to hide around corners, etc.  I've already decided we'll have to upgrade Ky's gun so he doesn't have to reload after every single shot.

Watch for some great photos tomorrow!
