What Evy did during most of the evening

On Halloween Kyle had to work, so I took the kids out. Our neighborhood is mostly elderly people so not a whole lot of participation. We went to a Trunk-or-Treat at a neighborhood church. The kids loved all the games. Then we wrapped up the evening walking around the neighborhood.

A few weeks before Halloween we went to a little downtown festival by SNU. The kids had fun collecting candy and playing games.

Kolter with his superhero…Superman

We also tried on costumes and painted/carved pumpkins.

Sawyer insisted on carving a pumpkin while the other kids painted. We learned an important lesson in the OK heat you can't carve the pumpkins until you are within a few day of Halloween. They won't make it :(

Football Funday {September '16}

This is our 1st season at SNU. The first few games went like this:

9/1 SNU @ Arkansas Tech 0-46

9/10 SNU v. Harding 7-63

9/17 SNU v. East Central 6-23

9/24 SNU @ SE Oklahoma State 14-45

All decked out in our SNU gear for our 1st SNU game

It was a tough start, but there were lots of bright spots and hopeful moments.

The highlights…

Evy was born and went to a game at 3 days old

9/17 game SNU was ahead for the 1st time this season

Each game the team improved
