Victories at the Wrestling Meet

Last night the boys had a wrestling meet at Lake vs Northwood and Lakota. All three boys came home with a victory, Jacob with two. It was the first win for both Isaac and Jacob. Nathaniel won another by pinning his opponent. I ran out of room for the rest of Isaac's match, but I got a picture of his hand raised at the end. Here are some clips from the night.

Jacob's Birthday-He's 6!!!

Jacob's birthday was this past Thursday, the 11th. We had his party Wednesday night and it was great. We had tamales, rice and beans for dinner and Grandma Connie made him a pineapple upside-down cake, which he has had picked out for his birthday cake for about a year now. Jacob also got a lot of help from Lily to open all his gifts. When we got home that night he told me he was very thankful for all the gifts he got (how sweet!).

Abby's Birthday-She's 8!!!

Abby's birthday was on Dec. 6th. She had a family party during the day and a sleepover with her friends that evening. She had 7 friends stay over, they all got to make their own pizza for dinner have cupcakes and rice krispy treats for dessert and smoothies for breakfast. A fun time was had by all (minus a couple emotional breakdowns at 3 a.m by some of her little friends!). She had a great time, but was exhausted the next day.

Lily's Birthday-She's 3!!!

Lily is officially 3 years old now, it's hard to believe. We celebrated after our Thanksgiving dinner. Here's a little bit from that night.

Hello From Ohio

This is a little video for Mom in Florida. It was Saturday afternoon and one of our first snows of the season.

Halloween Pictures

Here are pictures of the kids from Halloween. Jacob was a Clone (from Star Wars), Isaac was a basketball player, Abby was a cowgirl and Nathaniel decided to go hunting with Papa instead of trick-or-treating. Jacob also had a parade at school.

The Big Hunter!!!

Last Sunday Nathaniel shot his first deer. He was in Southern Ohio and she was little, but it was a good shot, and we all were really excited for him. Great-grandma Achter got him a special picture frame for his milestone.
