Life Happens!!!!

This past weekend, we were supposed to be in Columbus on Saturday night to witness the Buckeye's beat the snot out of Penn State; however, we found out a couple of week's ago Brenton & Ethan's last football games and also their little party were taking place on the 26th, as well.....so, we decided to give back our tickets and cancel the hotel room that we had booked for the night to be able to be there for their events!  Even though we were sort've disappointed, we were thrilled to not miss Ethan's stuff and also, we were able to take Colin up to the BadAss Dash run in Zoar on Saturday, to watch my sister-in-law run in honor of Colin w/ proceeds going to Autism Speaks....an organization very dear to us!   This is the 1st event for our team, Colin's Voice, and I was so glad we were able to make it.....Angie did well organizing the team, raising money, and coordinating everything for the event.....it was great and next year, Brenton wants to run it?!?!  It was freezing, but it was nice to walk around the village and listen to my father-in-law talk about growing up there....Ethan was so intriqued listening and seeing the house he grew up in, where he played, where he got the bus, etc.....he's in a stage right now about "getting old" so he had a lot of questions for Grandpa. =)  As we waited for the team to come over the hill, we were asked to help out at the Dodge Ball Bash station, so we all had a ball there throwing balls at the runners....hahaha!!!  It was a great day, a busy Saturday, but worth while!!!

Other exciting news, Brenton and Ethan had a great season this year in football....undefeated again in his 2nd year of coaching Ethan's team! They were happy!!!!  Brenton takes pride in teaching the boys and he was asked to take a bigger part of flag football next year, he was beaming when he came home and told me. =)  Ethan loved his medal he received and all the kids loved the ornament we made for them to remember the 2013 season.  Even though it was a very rush day, it was totally worth being home and watching the game in our living room!!!
