MN Trip 10.08

We have had a chance to visit family in Minnesota here while the kids have a break from school. It has been a quick trip and can't believe we will be going back home in just a few days. We have had fun seeing family and their new homes - Karen & Peter and Rochelle & Mike and then also hearing the news of a new cousin to Ron & Caroline - Erik Mitchell...although the 3:30am phone call was early:)

Check out the slideshow of some pictures.

The Season has Begun...

Zach and Drew had their 1st games this week for Flag Football...here are some pictures from Zach's Game...

Flag Football Teams - Bears & Browns

Drew and Zach will be starting Flag Football next week. Zach is excited because his team is named the Bears.

Drew gets to be on the Browns.

So practice will begin and then the games soon after.

Zach lost more teeth...but gained much more!

Zach has lost his bottom teeth now...need to get some more pictures of this but now he is really toothless.

Yesterday he gained much more though as he and Terri had a conversation about following Jesus. He made the decision to follow Jesus! What a great day, although he did say that when Jesus comes back to bring him to heaven he wants to bring his Nintendo DS.

Zach lost his 2 Front Teeth!

Zach has had his 2 front teeth loose for a while and we had corn on the cob the other day and I dared him that he wouldn't eat it because his teeth might come out. Well just like a man he took the dare and was not a wimp!

White Sox not doing so well this weekend!

So it has been a while since I last posted and it happens to be the weekend of the Crosstown Series between the White Sox and Cubs...unfortunately my team is not doing so well.

Which I am o.k. with because the Cub fans will get all built up like usual and by the time the fall comes it will be the White Sox everyone is talking about and the Cubs will show their normal Completely Useless By September style!

Highlights for the week...

Drew had 2 baseball games this past week and he is hitting great! He even took his first "hit by a pitch" really well. His comment "I got hit by a heater!"

Dentist report this week for Drew, Zach and myself was good! Which means no extra expense for us.

Lots of grad parties and graduations to go to plus our Baccalaureate Service this Sunday.

Went to River Bandits Game on Friday for Guys Night Out with the Sr. High Guys and Cody drilled the $50 garbage can for the tennis ball throw!
