Hot! Hot! Hot!

 We had some record-breaking days of hotness this past week.  90 degree days just as the calendar officially turned to Fall.  The boys played soccer in the heat on Saturday and did fantastic.  They kept dunking themselves with water to stay cool!  They were invited over to swim at a friend's house on Sunday so they were super excited to be swimming in September!!!  Seanie visited the Apple Holler with his class on Monday and had a great time.  They each took home a pumpkin and had fun picking apples off the apple trees!  How fun!!!

Brewers Game

We have been getting our fill of the Brewers this week.  We cheered them on at Wednesday night's game and then we went as a family this afternoon against the Miami Marlins and take advantage of the great deal on seats.  We watched an exciting game today and a couple foul balls came our way.  In fact, one was a line drive at the man sitting in front of us.  It hit him right in the gut and fell on his lap.  Guess who was the lucky boy that got to take that ball home...Seanie!  Oh, and we all made it on the jumbo tron!!  What a great afternoon at Miller Park!!!

 

Let's go Brewers!

We ran into Bernie Brewer on the way out!

What a nice catch!!!

My baseball boys :)

Goodnight Miller Park!

Spending an afternoon at the ballpark with my boys!

Seanie was so excited for this foul ball!

Hanging with my sweet Alex!

 The boys had a last minute sleepover with their cousin, Tyler, on Friday night.  They had a great time watching Boss Baby and then it was all giggles before they finally settled down around 11:00 PM!  Nothing better than a night of boy bonding!!! 

The three amigos!

Sleepovers are so much fun!!!

Soccer Season

Soccer season has officially started and I was super excited for game day!  Both boys played awesome!  Seanie played so aggressive!  He's a lot faster and stronger this year.  He scored FOUR goals and it was just the confident booster he needed!!! He was definitely having fun out there!  Alex played a great game too.  He's got such a strong leg and he's fast so he ended the game with three goals.  He understands the game better this year and plays with much more confidence!  I'm so proud of these boys!!!

 

My soccer boys!

Go Alex Go!!!

A Ride of a Lifetime!

It was as Ride of a Lifetime for Dave and Papa Bob this afternoon at the Milwaukee Mile.  They got to ride shotgun in a Nascar stock car and race around the track at top speeds!  It was such a neat experience for them and so much fun for all of us to watch!  I think we had the biggest cheering section!!!

Happy Grandparents Day!!!

First Week of School

Ready or not, summer is over and we are back in the school routine.  It's always a hard transition for everyone but I'm happy to say we have one week under our belts.  Sean is now in Kindergarten and Alex is in third grade at Holy Apostles School!!!  They were excited to start and see their friends.  I think it's going to be another great year for both of them!!!

We took the boys to watch the Brewers play the Nationals on Saturday night.  The walk to the stadium was a bit wet but we had umbrellas and survived.  Marwin Evans from the Green Bay Packers threw out the first pitch and the kids got to meet him and get his autograph and picture which was cool.  Also, Alex got the attention of Domingo Santana from the Brewers and Jason Werth from the Nationals with a wave hello from the outfield.  We had such a fun night at the ballpark!

Ready to cheer on the Brewers!

Seanie had to run off some energy in the play area!

So cool to meet Marwin Evans from the Packers!

Seanie was a speedy beast running the bases at Miller Park!

There's Domingo Santana in right field right after he waved!

We had a fun, relaxing Labor Day at Uncle Paul and Aunt Pat's house.  The weather was gorgeous!  The kids had a great time playing kickball in the yard together.  We got to see Hunter again and we were amazed at how much bigger he grew in a month!  Such a fun day spent with family! 

The boys loved playing with Hunter!

These kiddos have so much fun together!

We are all so blessed to have each other!!!

We visited GG today too!  The boys love visiting her "hotel."
