Fun times in Iowa

Fall + Football

Many hours have been spent in matching football attire & playing football this fall

Clearly I'm SUPER behind! Fall is busy in the Hogan house! We've been on the go to say the least. Here we are the the boys' first Iowa State Game at TCU.

Carter's first soccer game of the season

The big boys watching the littles - Carter said to Lincoln "just do your best buddy"

Goalie!



Linc's first soccer game

It started out VERY sour with Linc clinging to me, refusing to practice BUT in the last 2 minutes of the game he decided to PLAY & got 2 goals. Let's hope next week starts out like the end of this game.

Halloween practice...Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...

Around the house!

Kitty Friend making herself at home on Carter's bed!

 We've started some serious front yard football

Our little rider making laps!

Grandparents day at GV!

Dislike Grandparents day without grandparents but I stood in! Nice little event - particularly if your grandparents are local!

Our lego master

Its a good thing he is so good at following the instructions as his legos have triplified in the last few weeks! He's in lego heaven which is much more pleasant with the train turned lego table!

One lucky little birthday boy!

He wanted to take a picture with each person at his birthday dinner. What a lucky little man to get all of his grandparents to visit him for his big 7!

7 Years Old!

UMM, We have failed! See #5

Sleepy Bear 4

Such a hard life!!

One excited about his tooth fairy cash - the other not excited to be up!

The hole in the mouth!

I've been dreading the lost tooth for some time now, I remember it being somewhat of a scary process as a kid (likely because I always had the "we can just put a string around it and slam the door" from Don) but it wasn't so bad - other than the fact that he's had his hands in his mouth for about a week, it was rather easy as he pulled it himself. I think he will be excited to wake up to his fairy money. I had hoped to have one more family picture with all of our baby teeth but it wasn't meant to be!

The Real Deal - Back to School 2012

First Grade and Pre-K! Where did the time go? I know they will have a great year.

The almost back to school....

 The backpacks thave have been haunting me!

Chuck E. Cheese playdate with the Franklins, Jada's idea, I'm not that cool to promise it for the last day of school!

Ozarks

We had such a great week at the Ozarks with the Hogan family. Lots of fun & memories made! A few little hiccups - mainly boat problems and a broken water heater but none that impacted our fun! Here are a few pictures, I took about 500 as the official family photographer, now just figure out how to share all of them with everyone else. We had fun with the new tube - Lincoln, Samantha & Charlee were the daredevils of the group - standing while riding. We were treated to pedicures by the kids - was very comical & fun. Look forward to 2013!
