Celebrating Will's 8th Birthday

Lego's from Walker to add to his City Collection

On Saturday, October 13th, Will turned 8.  We had a wedding in Louisville so we celebrated around the wedding. 

I think this is one of very few pics I got on his actual birthday.  We were waiting to go to the reception.

Will wanted to have another campout birthday party this year.  We had to celebrate a little late but the boys all had a great time.  The weather didn't cooperate as nicely as last year so they camped out in the basement.

Waiting for breakfast

They played Nerf  and Dodgeball, watched movies and had fun!

Owen even got to come over for a few minutes the next morning.

Jackson's Orchard

 On Thursday of our very short Fall Break, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and went to Jackson's Orchard.  Warning:  Picture Overload

The boys had a great time;

 

playing on the tires,

pausing briefly to take a picture for Mom,

 

                                                                            racing barrels,

sliding on the Cider Slide (Walker's hair entertained many),

 

 

playing on the hay obstacle course (by far their favorite part),

                                                                   racing ducks,

feeding the animals,

going on a hayride,

picking out the most awesome (green)  pumpkins,

 

and just playing and having fun!

Boys of Fall

Monday was Will's first flag football game of the season. He is playing center position again this year. The Panthers won 5-4. Off to a great start.

Will is number 68 (Daddy's highschool football number).

And on a very sad note, our first house caught on fire yesterday.  We didn't know about it until this morning when we got to Church, so we stopped by after church..  That was our first little house and it holds alot of special memories for me.  So glad everyone was okay but my heart goes out to the family.  So sad!

Will's first house.  He was 2 when we moved so he doesn't remember it other than us going by ever now and then.

The "CatchUp" Post

On Sunday, August 18th, the boys got to go to a Louisville Bats game.  We got there early so the boys could get autographs of all the players.

Blake and Will.  It was VERY hot at the game.

Cassady and Walker.  Ever since baseball season, Walker has called her "Chewy Eyeballs"  He thinks it's hilarious and we have no idea where this came from.

Hoping for a foul ball

After the game, the boys got to run the bases.

 

The 30th of August was the Swim Banquet.  Will & Walker both got Most Improved for their age categories.  So proud of them both!  Walker even ended up placing in Conference.  Following in his big brothers footsteps.

 Last Saturday, September 1st, Shannon's cousin Erynn got married.  Here are Will & Walker dancing with the bride.

And yesterday was Will's 1st Sick Day of 2nd Grade.  He is starting to feel better today
