Ryley

Just wanted to put a little shout out for Ryley-this past week at school he broke the school record for the pacer test in gym, he did 70 laps in the pacer test and the last record was 69, he decided to quit as soon as he knew he broke it, but he was very excited for his accomplishment! Also this weekend he had a soccer tournament-they played 5 games in 2 days. His team came out on top and won the whole thing! The last game was a tough game, they even had to postpone for about 15 minutes because it was pouring down rain and it started lightening but they all played great and scored the winning goal with 2 minutes left in the game. So now they will represent Frisco in the Tournament of Champions with teams coming from all over Texas-we are very proud of him!

This is for you Callie

Rory loves his Aunt Callie! :)

Finally......Halloween

Rory with his candy stash, he was Snake Eyes from GI Joe
Little Liam was a monkey
Poor Ryley was sick, this is how he spent Halloween! I set aside some candy for him until he felt better.
Brian and Callie and Hunter, so funny!
All the neighborhood kids!
Elliott was a werewolf-I really had fun putting his costume together! Poor Hunter was scared to death of him though!

I'm finally getting my pictures up for Halloween, mom came for a visit right after and I just didn't have enough time to get them posted, we had a great time with Brian and Callie and of course baby Hunter too!

Liam Lately

Here's some recent pictures of Liam, he's such a little chunky monkey!

Oh Boy!

Ryley gave himself a black eye-how is that possible you ask? Well, the boys have gotten into watching wrestling on tv lately and he thinks my bed makes a great wrestling ring. I told him many times not to jump on my bed, but this day he chose to do what he wanted. He attempted to do a back flip and somehow his knee hit his face when he landed. It immediately got swollen and the next day it was a beautiful shade of purple, and remained that way for over a week, it faded to green then yellow and now it's just a little line of pink... And thats my life with boys, at least I got the satisfaction of him saying that I was right, he shouldn't jump on my bed-guess he learned his lesson!

Elliott's Eighth Birthday

All of the boys
Looking for a clue
One of their secret messages
Revealing their clue

We had so much fun at his party, we pretended that the boys were secret agents. We took their fingerprints when they first arrived and then sent them on a "secret mission". I wrote different clues with white crayon on white paper and they had to color over it with a marker to reveal the message, they has so much fun running all over the house looking for the next clue! When they got to the last clue it led them to their goody bags filled with all kind of supplies that a secret agent needs, magnifying glass, spy sunglasses, toy guns, walkie talkies and a few pieces of candy.

Elliott has such sweet friends and they all got along so well together, after presents and cake they all just played upstairs with all their stuff until their parents came to get them-it was a great day!
