Weekend Wrap-Up

What a whirlwind of a weekend!

Kent's birthday was Friday- the kids loved celebrating with him! We made Oreo blizzards on his birthday eve. 

Then we were all in our Hawkeye gear on Friday! Kent opened a few gifts before everyone headed off to school.

The boys had picked out a Nerf gun (that was certainly just as much for them as it was for him) to give him. But it was pretty powerful and they had fun shooting it off the deck! Kylee had made some special gifts for him too.

That night we went for a family bike ride around Gray's Lake then ate dinner at Mullet's.  The kids thought it was fun eating on the rooftop! 

Saturday morning Kent and I went tailgating at the Iowa/ISU game with some good friends.  Kent went to the game and Keith and Cindy brought me home once the game started since they didn't plan to go to the game either. We had such a fun time and it was a great game! The kids and I had so much fun watching at home. Plus, the Hawkeyes WON!!!!!

Meanwhile, my parents watched the kids and took them to watch my niece's soccer game, where Kase found a buddy (one of my preschool students last year) to play with.

After the game, the kids and I went to the apple orchard for a couple hours.  It wasn't busy at all and it was such a beautiful day. We love going there.

Later that night we stopped by my dear friend's house- it was her 40th birthday! These cuties had fun playing together.

Sunday was a super busy day.  We had football pictures, football games, volleyball practice and cross country practice.  But it was all so.much.fun.

Kase said his football game was the most fun thing ever in his life.  And honestly, it looked like it! He was having a blast out on the field. 

Kent and our neighbor friend ended up coaching. They've coached basketball, baseball and now football together! It's fun that Kase has a neighbor buddy on his team, too.

Kase scored three touchdowns!

He was just so happy the whole game.

We are so very lucky to have tons of family come and support the kids at their sporting events. We had quite a crew at both Kael and Kase's games!

Kael was going up against a friend today- they had been talking about the game all week.  Kael was so relieved when his team won 22-20!

I love watching him play football.  He had a great time out there.

Meanwhile, Kase and his cousin had fun running around together!

Kent says fall is the best and after such a fun-filled weekend, I think I have to agree.  We had so much family/friend/football time and just enjoyed being out in the beautiful weather.  I hope you had a great weekend too!
