Father Ryan Football Games

The kids have enjoyed going to the Father Ryan football games every Friday night. I haven't been great about taking pictures, but here are a couple of the sweet group of kids! 

I'm sure there are many more games in our future!

Caitie's First Cross Country Season

Caitie ran in her first cross country meets this year. Unfortunately, her gymnastics was at the same time as the cross country practices, so she wasn't able to attend a single practice. The firs meet was a little bit of a surprise with the length, but she got the hang of it!

She was sick during the first meet, but attended the second meet. I was at Patrick's soccer game and missed the first meet. I saw a few videos and saw that she was most excited about spotting all of her fans in the crowd and then the snow cones afterwards. 

The kindergartners and 1st grade girls run 3/4ths of a mile together.

1st meet (9/10/2023)- 7:44

2nd meet (9/17/2023)- 6:32 - 15th place

3rd meet ((9/24/2023)- 6:39- 19th place

She improved so much on her time! Her goal was to get in the top 20 so that they would announce her at school. So proud of this girl for meeting her goal!

She was pretty excited about the sparkles on her face

Special ribbon with her 19th place. Way to go Caitie!

 Good job Caitie!

Football Time in Tennessee

We were able to attend the first UT game of the season Labor Day Weekend. They played Virginia at Nissan stadium. We asked Big to go with us since he went to Virginia. He couldn't help but cheer for the boys team. 

We had a blast! It was HOT, but really fun!

Luckily we were in the club, so we could cool off in the air conditioner a little! 

Fun way to spend a Saturday!

Cell Project

Peyton did a great job with his stem cell project. I have a little PTSD from this project from a couple years ago. We had just finished completing this project with Patrick when the tree fell through our house exactly 2 years ago. It's the last picture I have in our house before it fell. Glad we got through this project without any major catastrophe's!

 

Labor Day 2023

 Michael had to work on Labor Day, so the kids and I joined their cousins at the pool. We finally got a picture with all of them!

So long Summer!
