Brady's Birthday Weekend in Milwaukee

This year for his birthday Brady asked his dad to go see Kevin Durant play basketball so this past weekend we went to Milwaukee to watch the Oklahoma City Thunder play.

We happened to stay in the same hotel as the Thunder so the boys were extremely privileged to have the opportunity to meet and take a picture with Kevin Durant himself!  He was so great with the boys and took the time even to talk with them briefly!  It was amazing!

Brady also made a sign for the game.  Kevin called him down before the game to give him a high five and also threw him a towel!  He was a very lucky little boy!

What a birthday present!

My highlight is visiting my Grandparents.  While Brian and Brady went to the game, the other two boys and I stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's house to play and enjoy the rest of the night.  Blake and Luke didn't feel slighted in the least!  Family fun to celebrate a special little boy early!

Trick-or-Treat

This year trick-or-treat was fun because all three boys participated!  It was cold but at least we avoided the rain.  You may recognize some repeat costumes on Blake and Luke.  Mom made them in previous years and I couldn't resist another dragon/lion year!

Brady's Halloween Parade

St Pius has a Halloween parade for the kids and parents to show off all of the costumes.  Brady had a great time.  The kindergartners high five all the "big kids."

Even the principal got dressed up!  Fun day!

Blake's Halloween Party

I helped out this year with Blake's 3 yr old preschool Halloween party.

It was great!  The kids played games some of the moms made up

and of course there were plenty of treats!

So much fun celebrating with my son! (Luke is in the pumpkin hat on the right.  He slept most of the party and woke up for the end!)

Carving pumpkins!

 This year my dad brought over pumpkins for the boys to carve.

 Even Luke had a good time!  Messy but fun.

Brady's pumpkin he designed is on the left followed by Blake's and the Luke's.  Everyone designed their own this year!  (Well Luke didn't, but the two older ones did!)
