Random Fall Fun

Fall brought a flurry of activities.  From flag football to soccer to church and school, we were on our toes.  Fall is a busier semester for Brandon with his schooling, and this fall was unexpectedly busy for me, too, with work.  The kids were great helpers and we all pulled together and made it through.  Jordan and Mandy stepped up the plate, helping with transportation and attending concerts to lend support.  We were very grateful.

Speaking of Jordan and Mandy, we were pretty excited that Jordan accepted a new job at William Jewell College as an Admissions counselor.  It has been fun seeing him around campus and big sister couldn't resist snapping some pics.

Both Connor and Kylee had music concerts at school.  Audience participation was a highlight of both.

Flag football was a blast.  Several returners played on the team and the Packers, led by Coaches Jason, Todd, and Doug, had a great season.    The first two games of the season ended in losses, and after that, it was all VICTORY.  I am sure a highlight video will be coming soon. :)

Kylee had a great soccer season with her team, the Sharks, too!

One day, Hadley told me her nose hurt.   This is how she solved the problem.  Cracked me up.  She has a serious love affair with band-aids.  This girl keeps us smiling!

These are the kids' best "mad faces" while we were out to eat one night.  Don't ask me what prompted this...but it was funny to see their expressions. :)
