Lance is 5!

We hosted Lance's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese this year with a Star Wars theme. The birthday boy was a little leary of the mascot (to say the least), so his friends enjoyed the party while Lance and Trent waited in the car... for 2 hours! Lance (and Trent and Becca) recovered from the Chuck E. Cheese experience and we celebrated his turning 5 two days later on his birthday! Happy Birthday Lance! We love you!

Don't smile

I wanted to take a picture of Bryce this morning to send to Trent showing Trent how swollen Bryce's face was from a mosquito bite he obtained last night at soccer skills. The following are the result of the "don't smile" instruction that I gave him...

Lance had to join in...

And Manning too...

Who knew not smiling was so much fun??

A new hair pretty

First time to wear the new hair pretty and I thought it was just too cha-cha for words!

Is it Lance??

Lance taking his new costume for a spin...
He's a natural, isn't he?? :o)

Let it begin!

Notre Dame football season is upon us! Bring it on!!

They Won the Tournament

I should also post a picture of Bryce with his soccer team who won the tournament they played in this weekend! This was their first tournament to play in together... setting the standards a little high. These boys played very well. I'm so proud of all of them. Needless to say, those of you who know Bryce, know he is (slightly) competitive and VERY excited to have won. Go Odyssey!

It's Official

Today is the first day of all day school for Bryce. It's been a bitter-sweet day for me. It seems I've been looking forward to this for a long time but now that it's here, I'm a little sad. He will love it and do very well in school but I'm sad he'll be in school all day from now on. On a different note, he lost his other top front tooth on Friday at lunch so he officially looks like a 1st grader!
Lance and Manning had to join in the picture and then we all walked Bryce to first grade!
