Football fever
We finally made it to a game. We all missed the first home football game because the kids all had colds/fevers/snots and the "grown" boys were away fishing that weekend. Kiki & I didn't want to handle 3 kids by ourselves. Mom would have been there, but so would have Kaydo & Charlotte which just adds to the mix of chasing kids, wiping noses, etc. You know what I mean.
But Owen & Shay got to attend their first games and they were sooooooooo excited as you can see from the pics.
Shay didn't make it to the end of the first quarter. She thought it was too loud and she said they weren't playing well enough for her to sit there and take it.
El on the other hand, LOVED IT! She loves the rails they put up at the rows cause they are the perfect height for her to swing from. She's part monkey....it's on her dad's side.

Ready to cruise
Not that they are jumping the gun, but look at the truck J & Kiki bought for Owen. He's been crawling for a month, now, so I guess it was time. Owen told me he plans on putting a lift kit on it and some black 20's. If you see him cruising around, don't let the law know.

Splish Splash
My Saturday nights used to be filled with a lot of Captain, dancing, and maybe even falling off a chair or two, but now it's full of slippery, naked kids. Much safer on my liver. ;) The boys were out of town fishing for the weekend, so we had a girls gone wet & wild night.
This is the Big O's first time in the big tub and who better to share it with than 2 of the hottest little ladies around. He had a pretty good time but I think his mom isn't ready for him to have that much freedom just yet. :) If you haven't seen him in a while, he has gotten his hair cut. He's such a stud...and my girls' bodyguard.
Grandma was in on the action, too.

The Scout
Here are a few pics of Scouty down at the camper. She LOVES to hold babies. She always says, "Oh, is this the baby? She's sooooo cuuuute." It's pretty adorable. 
Here's a pic of Scout & El in the tub of the camper. These girls were NASTY dirty; you know, they were hitting the camping pretty hard core. You're not camping unless you get dirty. These 2 had a blast in the tub. I think the neighbors didn't appreciate it.

Lil' Miss Evil Knievel
Labor Day of happiness. El woke up this morning, and here she is (see below). The hair looks like this every morning. I've never been very good at doing hair so I always just leave it. As the day goes on, it usually lays down.
This is Shay watching her big sis. Shay says, "it's a nuckle-biter!!"
I checked out the Dorn's little Evil Knievel so I thought I'd show my little Knievel in the early stage of madness. I picked up this little bike from a garage sale, and I mean it's little . The bike belonged to no other than the boys of Daniel Stark (we had a discussion about definitely keeping his boys away from my girls....he agreed). This cute little bike HAD to be the right size for El. I know she's little, but this bike is little!!! Well, it took her a about a week and she's definitely got the handle on it. Here are some bike pics.

"Uncle & Aunt" Matt & Amanda Ewertowski were down visiting us this weekend and Matt & JB got a lot of fishing time in as well as setting up the deer stands and JB's deer camera. Matt is one outdoorsy lover. Matt was JB"s college roommate back in the day and he lives in a suburb of Chicago. He lives near his hometown growing up which if this tells you anything about the affects of the windy pooptown, I mean city, he had 55 in his graduating high-school class and one stop-light in town. The "town" now has 4 HUGE high-schools and too-many stop lights to count. It's only been 15 years.
I then let her put her feet in.
Needless to say, we ended up dragging her alongside the boat. Matt is holding her here only because my arms hurt so bad from holding her; we had to switch. She was SOOOOOO mad when we pulled her out. I think other boaters thought she hated the water. What did I start?
Anywhoo, For Labor Day weekend, mom & dad planned a big fish fry at the camper on East Fork on Sunday which worked out for all of us but Matt & Amanda since they had a 5 1/2 hour drive north for home. We took our 'awesome' boat out to give Amanda a ride and El & I went as well. El is such a fish and it was so friggin' hot out that I did something that is going to get me in trouble any other boat ride from now on.
I let El touch the water.
