Football Game Fun

The kids have really been excited to go to some football games this Fall to see Dane play. We have already been to four games and we plan to go to a few more. When we went to the game at United to watch Jayla cheer, Blaine was having so much fun taking pictures on my phone. Bryce was too busy playing football with Jake to hang out with us!

 You can see a blurry picture of Bryce behind us running with Jake! I thought this picture of the field that Blaine took was pretty cool!


Blaine fell asleep on the bleachers at one of the first games we went to in Galva. 

Ag Day 2019

On Sunday September 8th, we traveled to Billtown for another fun Ag Day. I had to work at the chore station for an hour right when we got there so I didn't get very many pictures this year. The kids were having so much fun and of course going in all different directions. When we were going to bed that night, Bryce said, "I don't understand why they can't have Ag Day every Sunday."

    They loved riding in the tractor that can drive all by itself!



Bass Pro Shop

One of the last things on our summer bucket list was to go bowling. Since Northgate Lanes in Galesburg just recently shut down, we decided to go bowling at Bass Pro in Peoria. We always have so much fun there!





Of course we had to make a stop at one of our favorite pizza places, Davis Brothers! 


We also went to Peoria to find Blaine a "fancy outfit" for coronation since he was chosen as the crown bearer for Homecoming. 

Fun at Home

We love our little family so much! This was a rare moment where they all piled on daddy in his chair! He's been gone so many nights this year covering volleyball games, football games, and other duties as a principal. They just can't get enough of him when he is home!


The kids spent an entire afternoon playing on papa's farm equipment. We just love our farm life! 
This boy was so excited one morning to wear his bears hat to school because we were going to a tailgate party at Adam's house.

Rantoul Tractor Show

On August 24, we went to our cousin Will's 2nd birthday party in Athens. We then spent the night in LeRoy on Saturday night and traveled to Rantoul on Sunday morning for a big tractor show. It was huge! Papa brought his John Deere golf cart and all 7 of us rode around all day in it. We definitely got some looks when we came driving by. Everybody wanted to take our picture! The kids obviously had a blast and they can't wait to go back in two years!

New Windsor Rodeo

We decided to take the kids to the rodeo this year and invited mamaw and papa to go with us. We even met up with Keith, Jean Ann, Val, Anna, Sally, John, and Will. The kids absolutely loved it and we've spent many nights since then playing "rodeo."


             This cracks me up, you can tell Shane told him to put his hands down.



                                                                   Rodeo selfie!







 Mamaw was scared to death to watch the bull riding. Blaine kept covering her face with his hat.
It was such a great night and they are so excited to come back again next year!
