We had a really great summer full of baseball and fishing! Matthew and Riley both entered a youth fishing derby and had a blast. Here is the trout Riley caught:
Matthew caught quite a few big fish that day, here he is with one of his catches of the day: a nice catfish!
The park was absolutely beautiful. I really can't wait to go back. The boys had a great time swimming and climbing and just being boys!
We also spent a lot of time at Kennywood this summer. Some of my favorite memories with our family are from Kennywood. The sweetest thing that happened at Kennywood this summer was that I got to see just how protective Matthew is of Riley. He would put his arm around him and hold him tight. So sweet for a mother to see her sons love eachother like that.
One of the most exciting things that we did this summer was go to our first concert as a family! We went to see Big Time Rush!! It was such a good show! I remember how I felt when I got to see my favorite band in person and it was great to see their eyes light up when they saw their favorite band right infront of them!
This was Riley's face when the band first came out on stage!
Matthew and Daddy enjoying the show!
So, as you can see we had a very busy but very AWESOME summer! We made memories that I know we will always remember.
Now it's finally my favorite season-FALL!!! Fall means pumpkins, hayrides, Halloween, and Fall Ball! Both of the boys have started their Fall Ball seasons and they are doing great! Matt is helping coach Riley's team and it has been great seeing him enjoy it so much. I know that Riley really likes having Daddy coach just as much as Matt really likes doing it!
Matthew has had a great season so far! He's even recieved the game ball in two games so far! He was and is SO happy! Here he is after getting the game ball last week
School is in full swing and infact, we just had Riley's open house tonight! Matthew's is coming up later on this week. Here they are on the first day of school. My 1st and 4th graders!
Tonight we got to go to Riley's open house. I look forward to Open House every year. I love going to see their classrooms and meeting their teachers. This year the school is having two open houses-one for the lower grades and one for the higher grades. So you know what that means?! TWO open houses for me! Woo hoo! Here's my 3 favorite people waiting to go into open house tonight
Here's my first grader!!!!
Well, this has turned into a pretty big update! I really need to keep up on this better. Hope you're all still out there ready-I promise to check in more often! In closing-here's to a Fall that is filled with as much fun and as many memories as this summer!
