First day of school

Today was the first day of 3rd grade and 5th grade. Look at these big boys!

 

Reed is 8!

Reed had a great 8th birthday! We had a fun family birthday party on Sunday and a friend party on his actual birthday. His birthday fell just a few days before the start of school, so he enjoyed seeing his friends and jumping!

Football

Alex is playing 5th grade football for the first time this year. Practice has just started, but he is loving all the gear :)

Redbirds game

We finally made it to a Redbirds' game! Thanks to Aunt Christie for great tickets. We enjoyed some snacks and stayed for most of the game. Everyone had fun!

More baseball

Alex played one more round of baseball for St. Louis last week. They ended up playing five games, including the championship game. They didn't win the championship, but they had a great time. It was so much fun to see these friends play together!

Downtown weekend

We've been wanting to do a few downtown activities for a while, so we took a Saturday morning and checked a few things off our list. We visited the Civil Rights Museum, had lunch at the Arcade and stopped for an ice cream float at the soda shop. The boys had fun, and we might have even learned something!

Buzzzzz

Alex has been wanting a buzz cut all summer, so we finally gave in! He looks so much older, but it really is much cooler. They had to switch to stronger clippers to get through all that thick hair!
