Jordan's 9th birthday!!!

Jordan's birthday party had to be postponed a week due to football, but he had a GREAT time! Derek & Todd took several of the boys to the lake so they could go fishing. After that, we had about 6 boys spend the night (good thing we had the grandparents here to help out!). He was able to buy a bunch of games for his PlayStation 2 & Wii and still has some birthday money, which he has to count at least once a week. Guess he figures something might happen to it. And now that Jordan is nine, Erik is officially

6 1/2!!!

Update on Jordan's football team...

The Tigers went into the Superbowl last Saturday undefeated. However, it wasn't the Tigers day. :(
They had a GREAT season & will be playing in a tournament this Thanksgiving weekend. I will definitely add some new pictures & highlights of the tournament.

Update on Erik's Bowling....

Erik finally listened to someone's advice (thanks Grandma Armstrong!), so now instead of running full speed & throwing the ball down the lane, Erik lines up & walks up to the line & then throws the ball & often doesn't even use the bumpers! In the least three weeks, he has bowled a 88 & 101, 78 & 86, and 88 & 96. Before Grandma's advice, he was bowling in the 70's. Way to go Erik!!!

Happy Halloween!

The boys had a great time trick-or-treating in some friends' neighborhood & then later in ours. Erik was Jengo Fett (a Star Wars character that Erik could tell you all about!) and Jordan was the Evil Jester.

October

Whoa! Where has the time gone? Guess I need to update the blog since my last post was September 30!!!!! Since we're on Thanksgiving Break, I will have some time to fill you in on October & November!
