Grandma and Grandpa Morrill Come Visit!

Bart and Michelle came to visit last week and we had a great time! 

 

Grandma bought them a new book, Scaredy Squirrel, that they all loved...

While Bart was at a conference for CPE credits and Parker was working, Mom and I took the boys to Great Wolf Lodge!  They swam for a total of ten hours between the two days and were not ready to leave but we had to hurry home for Josh's all-star soccer practice.  Tyce was exactly 48 inches (maybe a hair short but they gave it to him anyway) so he could ride all the rides.  I was SO proud of him for riding the Howlin Tornado, which is the scariest slide there.  He was nervous but did it twice, everyone in line commented on how young he was to be doing such a big slide.  The lines were short so we went on the slides many many many times and it was 85 stairs up each time!  My foot really really hurt afterwards but it was worth it!  I love playing with my boys, especially in the water! 

 Tyce made a friend, Trevor, and they had so much fun together! 

 

 

 

 

 

The boys LOVED sleeping in their "wolf den"...

We even let them eat dinner in their beds, such spoiled boys...

 

 So sad to have to leave...

 Love the beautiful fall weather and scenery!  The two hour drive was gorgeous and no traffic!

All three boys fell asleep on the way home, which is rare.  They slept two hours in the car then Josh had to head off to soccer practice.  Jackson and Tyce crashed and Brody was so happy to have someone to sleep with since he was alone the night before..

 We got a sitter and went out to a yummy steak dinner as adults...

We had lunch with Tyce at school...

Mom and I got pedicures and went shopping for stuff to decorate my house, we had so much fun together and...as always...wish we had a few more days!

THANKS FOR COMING!!!!  WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ALREADY!!!

End of Soccer Season

Saturday morning Josh and Tyce had their last soccer games!  It was SOOOO cold!  After Josh's game we brought his best soccer friend Alex over to play until the end of season party.  They had hot cocoa and cookies on the playset then, of course, played soccer...

 

Then we went to Tony's Pizza for Josh's end of season team party.  Here he is with his friends Alex and Elias...

 The coach saved Josh for last and gave him the MVP Coach's Award.  I was very proud of him...

 Look at those dimples...

The coach came over afterward and whispered, "Josh do you understand that you got the highest award I could give out? Congrats!"  Josh is so humble he didn't even want to tell daddy about it!

Josh and Alex really had a lot of fun together this season and we will miss him.  He is 10 and will move up next year so they won't be on the same team.  Alex is a really really good soccer player and I think playing with him is a big part of why Josh improved so fast. 

Tyce's last game was the same time as Josh's end of the season party so Parker went to the game and cheered them on to their eighth and and final LOSS of the year!  Haha.  After their game they had an end of season party at Subway, Josh and I made it just in time...

Tyce had fun in soccer this year and that's about it.  I don't think he learned much or improved much and I do not think we will have him play again BUT if he had fun that's all that matters!  I am relieved his season is over. 

 

Josh tried out and made the U9 All-Star team so he will have practices the next two weeks then a big tournament!  Looking forward to watching him play a little bit more! 

Halloween!

Another Halloween in the books!  It's my least favorite holiday but seeing the excitement of my boys sure makes it bearable  :)  Here's a look at our Halloween fun..

 

We went to Lori's house for her annual Halloween party, it was super fun and the haunted house was like professional grade haunted!!!

 Rocket the Racoon, Wolverine, Sherriff, Zorro, and...I was a random red lady...

 After the party we met up with the girls...

 Seriously who wouldn't want to open up their door to THESE cuties?!

 Tyce going through his loot...

 We have soooooo much candy!!!!!

Happy Halloween!!!
