Letting the Creative Juices Flow

Decorating pumpkins was a success!!  Sutton decided to paint and Lee decided to carve. 

2017 Football Season

In getting this post ready I realized I didn't take very many football pictures!!  At that time my "real"camera was still broke so I only had my phone.  Despite only a few pictures taken both boys enjoyed another season of football.  Leland was number 22 and Sutton was number 21. 

Help We Are Lost

For some added fall fun we headed out to a corn maze.  I think the highlight for the boys was shooting corn out of the corn shooter!!

Pumpkin Gathering

As we have done for the last few years we ventured to Carpenter Farms to pick out some pumpkins.

First Day Of School 2017

The boys were no more eager to return to school in the fall this year then they ever are!!  Sutton entered fourth grade with Mrs. Tillotson and a student teacher.  Leland entered 6th grade in the middle school with lots of teachers. 

Grandma Elting

My grandma Elting passed away on August 26, 2017.  She has been greatly missed!

Camping Close To Home

The same weekend the boys participated in the Children's Challenge we also took a weekend camping trip close to home.  During our camping trip we took a fun canoe trip on a river that ran past the camp ground. 

Children's Challenge

Each summer for the past few summers Michigan International Speedway has hosted the Children's Challenge.  It is like a tough mudder for kids.  This past August was the first time our boys participated.  Sutton ended up coming in first for the group he ran with!!
