Sleepy Boys


Tonight I had a bunch of sleepy guys. After story time and prayers (at 8:00) daddy decided to stay in bed with the boys. I thought that they would jump around and not go to sleep, especially Carter since hes used to being in a crib, but I didnt here a sound from them and when I went to check this is what I saw- I could'nt resist taking a pic.

Last Soccer Game

Sorry no pics! Riley just finished his last soccer game today. His team was awesome and Riley himself scored 3 goals!!! Yeah, I am so proud of him. He seems to really understand the game now, he stays open and passes the ball, hes fast and loves to run around. Nobody wins/losses in Kindergarten soccer, but they won all their games, except the first. GO GRAY!! Im so excited for him and we will try it again next year- that is if he doesnt wasnt to try football-YIKES!!

Post Family Farm

Last Saturday we went to the Post Family Farm out in Hudsonville. It was a beautiful day. We have been going since Riley was 2 and we love it!! It has animals to pet and goats to feed, a pumpkin train, horse rides, crafts, playground, corn and straw mazes and of course the hayride to take you to the pumpkin patch for picking your own pumpkins. And if you go you must try their homemade pumpkin donuts, they are to die for!! Here are a few pics of our day. We went with my sister and brother in law and their two kids and best friend and her daughter.

Choppin' Corn with Grandpa

Well it was time for cutting down some corn and the boys were so excited to "help" grandpa. They got to ride in the chopper with him. It was Carters 1st time and he really liked it. Its all I heard about for a while from him. Riley has ridden with grandpa before, but he still loves it. They had to take turns. They got to cut the corn down and then help grandpa dump it. This is the same corn that we got from grandpa that Carter stuck up his nose earlier :)

Soccer Time


This is the first year Riley has been on a soccer team and he loves it. He is doing really well and has even scored a few goals- although they do not keep score in Kindergaten soccer. My favorite part is watching this herd of boys all chase the ball trying to kick it and they end up tripping over each other. They have a few more things to learn, but in the meantime it gets out some of that energy they have.
