October update

October...what do I remember about October.  Not too much .  I was back at work full time, Braydon was loving Kindergarten, Kellan always asks Sean if he wants to go to Linda's with him. 

I love pictures...obviously I don't write much just post pictures.  So I made Ryan load all the kids up so I could take some pics of the 3 boys together...it was a challenge!  But we got a few good ones and Braydon never dropped Sean...so I call it a success!

Happy baby

Since Braydon started playing football, we have had to have a few games in the house and outside to work on a few concepts.  1.  when you get the ball, run forward and don't fall down.  2.  Try to pull the other team's flags!  So it has been pretty entertaining and lots of tears from Kellan everytime someone pulls his flags!  One day we were playing in the backyard and Kellan had an "injured" leg...so he just kept limping.  This of course happened when someone pulled his flags!

Braydon even learned to "let him get by you"

Krista and I decided to take a weekend and go visit our good friend Sarah Bailey and her family in Minnesota.  It was baby Sean and Callie's first road trip and they did great!

Callie, Sean, Molly and baby Sam!

We were also lucky to get a visit from Alaska family, which meant a little Winkelman get together.  I didn't get a picture with Mist, but we did get a picture with Great Grandpa Wink.  We didn't know at the time, but this was the last time the boys got to see Great Grandpa Wink and I am so happy to have this picture with them all together. 

Braydon played in a football league again and dad was his coach.  We had extreme heat and really cold and windy conditions.  But as always it was fun to watch him play.

One of the last beautiful days of fall we decided to load up the kids' bikes and go Big Creek.  They have awesome trails and a really big playground.  It was pretty fun to watch the boys.  Even though we ended up carrying a big wheel and a cute 2 year old for part of the ride!

Mom's weekend away!  I left Ryan at home with all 3 kiddos and headed to Chicago for the weekend with some of my college friend and former rugby teammates.  We were going to the New Zealand All Blacks vs the USA Eagles at soldier field.  It was really awesome to see the game and of course the haka -check it out.www.youtube.com/watch?v=eybwV2OFaWg

It was definitely a bucket list item that I never thought I would get to do.  Of course my friends go all out for any event and we all looked really patriotic! 

Halloween is next!
