September pics

September was a busy month...birthday for Hudson; baseball, soccer, softball, and dance starting up; and the beginning of a new school year (with both having homework now). I am thankful to only be working 3 days a week and still have plenty of time with the kids and time to get some things done! 

I had lunch with Hadley already. I think I am going to squeeze in as many of these as possible knowing that next year parents aren't quite as welcome in the middle school! I can already tell this will be an emotional year for me!

To start off our new season the coaches scheduled a parents and siblings vs the players practice. It was so much fun. The big kids got to pitch to their younger siblings and there was quite a bit of sibling rivalry. Hadley sure did cheer for Hudson though which was just so sweet. We had a lot of fun playing and it was just what the kids needed. Best part of the day....I got to show Hadley that I still have it and was able to hit a homerun! Haha. Hadley was so proud!

These early birds got ready for school with 30 minutes to spare. I guess that allows some time to ride their hover boards before school. So thankful for good moods in the morning.

Hadley and Hudson's little cousins have spent several games watching them play. It was fun to get to watch Buck play soccer now. He is really loving it!

Hudson has a sweet little friend, Jossilyn, that invited him to her birthday party. I took a picture of his card for her because I have missed several other cards. He always writes the sweetest cards for his friends. He has such a big heart!

Building lego sets in one day, softball hitting lessons, bike riding, and swimming in the hot tub. These are the days...

Softball hitting lessons, riding bikes, and soaking in the hot tub!

A few soccer pics. The cutest group hug huddle, a hot sweaty-faced, post game Hudson, and Hadley watching Hudson play (and looking a little bored).  She sure likes to cheer him on though. 

Gunner's 4th birthday party was a nerf war party. It was so much fun! Hudson wore our go-pro for a little of it and it was so fun hearing all his giggles in the background.

I was surprised at work with a decorated office and cookies for my birthday! I really love all these girls I work with!

More birthday presents...

Home football game with Hadley and friends. I don't have any pictures of Hudson and his friends. They are quick to run off and play football with each other. Some wrestling matches are typically involved as well.

Some random pictures of iPad playing, outside playing, and hot tub playing....

The kids before school on a spirit day and Hadley's class "castle cake" after finishing big book they read.

This pretty bird hung out on our driveway all day and Hadley took pictures of him for us. So pretty!

Shawnee softball tournament. This one was so fun! We didn't have one of our best performances but the kids had so much fun. It is a really nice complex. Biggest plus...being right by the lake house and having everyone over at the end of the day. Mama and Papa cooked out for us and the kids loved riding four wheelers and playing outside. These are the softball memories I love!
