More Disney pictures

Here are some more pictures from tournament day, the All Star Sports Resort and Downtown Disney.

Disney Here We Come!

I can hardly believe the awsome experience that Brad was able to have at the young age of 10! We headed off to Florida for a quick visit with my mom and then 4 days at Disney. We spent 2 days enjoying Disney World with the boys and then Brad was able to practice and play football at the Wide World of Sports Complex. Not only did he get to play there but he also got a behind the scenes tour of where the Tampa Bay Buccuneers practice and the Atlanta Braves have their spring training. Although we were in Florida, the weather was very cold the day of the tournament but Brad's team made it through 3 games of pool play and then lost in the first round of eliminations. Alothough Brad was dissappointed not to go to the final game because he wanted the chance to be on the NFL network; he was very excited about the awesome opportunity he had and I think truly realized how lucky he was to have the experience. Here are a few pictures from our trip

Brittany's swim meet

Brittany just finished up her fall swim club and she is doing so awesome. She has now switched to using only a small floatation belt and is paddling with her arms and beginning to kick her feet. I had so much fun watching her. Water is definately her favorite place to be. Hopefully I can find somewhere for her to swim for the winter.

Halloween Fun!

Brad, Jake, and Brittany enjoyed the extremely warm evening we had this year to load up on our yearly candy supply. As you can tell, Jake went all out this year but Brad and Brittany were less outgoing in the costume area.

Sight Seeing in St. Louis

While we were at Brad's Regional Tournament we had time to spend time with friends and to do some looking around. We went down by the river in a quaint old section of town, we went to the Arch and to the Zoo.

St. Louis Here we are!!

Well, Brad's all star team headed for St. Louis to play their Regional tournament last weekend. We had an incredible time with all of the team familys and the experience of playing kids from all over. Brad's team did well and won the regional championship game so now we are headed to Disney in November for the National Tournament. Brad is so excited about the trip. He gets to fly, play football, be with his team and visit his grandma. Plus, when (yes I am confident) them make it to the final game it will be televised on ESPN. Here are just a few pictures from the trip.

Catch up time

Ok, so it has been awhile again but life has been busy as usual. Jacob has finished with football for the year, but Brad made an allstar team and we are headed for St. Louis this weekend for a regional tournament. Brittany has started her swimming lap club again and is having a blast! School is going awesome for all 3 kids this year. We are so happy with the schools they are at. Brad, Jake and Shannon all got to go to the Colts vs Bears game at the new stadium and they had a blast even though the Colts lost. I will upload some pictures later I don't have them off the camera yet.

Hanging out with cousins

Brad was fortunate enough that his cousins were in town from Kentucky the weekend of his birthday party. Brad would say that having them visit was the highlight of his birthday, it has been close to a year since they have been able to hang out. I personally enjoyed visiting with them as well!!

Birthday Pictures

Finally I have some pictures for you all. For some reason I have been unable to upload pictures. Brad truely did have a blast at his birthday party!

Brad's birthday bash!

Hard to believe that Brad is a whopping 10years old now. Time goes so quickly. He enjoyed his birthday with a group of friends at the house swimming and goofing off! Who knew ten 10yr olds could be so wild and crazy. I will upload pictures later. Also Brad's cousins were in town so they were able to be at the party and spend the night which was a wonderful experience for them all.

More Fun at Kings Island

Here are a few more shots of the kids making memories! Just hanging out with the horses!

Britt and Jake riding Blue's Clues Brad and Britt on a ride together

We had so much fun at Kings Island!! Brad and Jake invited their friend Hunter to go along with us. We spent two days enjoying the rides and water park. Jake struggled with stomache problems the first day but after some Drammamine day two went much better. The Vortex and the Stunt Cars were the favorites for the boys while the Little Bill Giggle Coaster was the favorite for Brittany and me. What a great way to wind down the summer!!!
