VB Grid Iron Girls

Some of the teachers I work with have a fantasy football league. (No mom, it is not another name for powder puff) Seriously she asked me that! We have a real draft, awesome food and major trash talking :) It has put a whole new light on the already wonderful football season.

Melissa, Tiff and I had to start the trash talking by wearing our Fantasy Football tees to this years draft. Melissa's says draft guru, Tiff's says league champ (which she was last year) and mine says draft expert.

Here we are before the draft of players.

This is how we keep track of the players picked. Thanks Greg for recording all of this for us. Go Slater Blitz!

Happy Half Birthday Braelyn!!

Braelyn Gail Slater is a half year old. I can not believe how fast this time has flown by. I am so amazed with God and the wonderful little girl He has given us! We love you baby girl.


Here is a clip showing how much she adores her daddy.

Friends in the Park

We try to get together as often as we can with Abram's roommates and their families (although it doesn't happen as often as any of us would like). We took an opportunity to get together at a park in Wabash before school started. The kids had a lot of fun and the "adults" enjoyed our time together as well.

Savannah, Brody, Aedyn and Lainey

Lainey, Joey and Braelyn

The cutest picture ever!!!

Happy Anniversary Hackmans!

Our friends, the Hackmans, celebrated their 8th wedding anniversary last week and we watched their kids so they could have a QUIET evening together. I love that our kids are such good friend. Here are some of the pictures from that evening.

Kyler and Braelyn playing. Kyler is 4 months older than Braelyn.
Love this one! Kyler is all about the attack. Aedyn is slowly learning to stay out of his face and then in return stay out of his sister's face :)
How sweet! Aedyn was reading Kyler this book. I love that they found the most girly book that we have to read.
Kinlee and Braelyn just hanging out!
Kinlee and Aedyn are the best of friends. Here they were riding horses around the living room. Aedyn is riding his stick horse, named Dark, and Kinlee is riding a sword. :)
Aedyn is 9 months older than Kinlee.
My favorite picture of the night! Kyler is learning to crawl, but only goes backward. He ended up under my kitchen chair and didn't seem to mind.

We thank God all the time for great friends. The Hackmans are a true blessing to Abram and I and our kids. Happy Anniversary KC and Melissa and to many more happy years together!
