A Motorcycle, Football & Pumpkins

Okay, does that title give you the hint that this post will be one of those that’s all over the place?  (remember the last post when I mentioned going back and forth?  this is a continuation of that game) :)

After posting the first picture of Matt’s bike, he thought I should put a better picture up -  so here is his new toy… it needs a name yet – he should work on that.

Matt has wanted a bike for a long time now, and he is getting a lot of use out of this already.  I love to see that he’s having fun with it!

Here are some more pictures that I’ve been meaning to post for a while.  This was Brett’s first year of playing football.  It’s a league football (not sponsored by city rec).  He had a blast playing, even though his team didn’t win any games.  They have plenty of time to learn the plays and get the wins … but for now, it’s all about having fun and learning to LIKE the game!  (Brett was #11 and his main positions were tailback, tight end, safety and corner)  Eli also wanted to test out the pads and the jersey … he might have a little bit of growing to do. ha!

The same day of Brett’s last game (the playoffs), we also went camping to Newton Hills.  Brett was a little bummed to miss a lot of the day on Saturday – but hopefully we can go again next year.  They do a “Festi-Fall” – most people who camp decorate their campsites and carve pumpkins to display.  We had a great time camping.  The Fall weather was bea-u-ti-ful!!  So fun!  We had campfires, carved the pumpkins, played sand volleyball, went to the festival, did a candle-light walk, and just had a really great time!
