Weekends

2 goals by Hai and 2 grandparents to watch for the win!

Meanwhile, Shane has been volunteering at Challenger Football.  It's a Special Needs Football program where you pair up with one of the players and help assist/run with them during the games.

Shane and Jake have been doing this on Saturdays together

We have been going to the beach every weekend since the water is still warm.  Hailey is a fish.  First, I go in with her and body surf for 1/2 hour and i get tired and go lay out.   Then Jesse goes in with her 45 minutes and then he gets tired.  Then Jesse and I  sit on the beach for another hour watching her catch waves, she’s gotten really good.  This happens every weekend!

Nobody is complaining

The Dude

I got a call from our 92 year old neighbor seeming a little confused.  She said she thought she saw me looking out the window and was waving but I never reacted.  Then she noticed "it" was moving every other day, so she called me up.  I told her it was The Dude, a blow up doll from Shane's Charades games that we just keep moving around the house for fun. 

Barbara called me about 2 weeks later just to tell me how much she enjoys watching The Dude move and thinks it's hilarious

Shane hates his picture, it was taken back in February when he was really sick

Beach Days

The days are gorgeous and we have been taking full advantage of it. Jesse and I, and sometimes a friend have been heading to the beach before work, for a run, walk, swim, paddle, surf, whatever best suits us that day  

 5 days a week of this and I'm loving it.  Warm, glassy water.  Mornings at the beach are the best and we have been seeing so many people we know, even Hub sightings, multiple times

 Evening stroll and dip because we didn't go that morning!

Labor Day

Hailey went swimming with some friends and had a failed backflip attempt into the pool.  She didn't even know that she had hurt herself.  Her friends asked if she had a bloody nose!  ER visit for her

I'm actually impressed that she even attempted to do a backflip, she's usually very cautious.  Unfortunately, I wasn't there to tell her not to attempt one. 

 6 Staples.  We called her Hai-n-Stein

School

1st day of 7th grade.  The last 2 weeks of summer Hailey kept saying, she couldn't wait for school to start!

 1st Day of 10th grade. Shane driving the minivan like a boss.  Shane is one of the first Sophmores to be driving

 A little birdie told me about Shane's parking.  We had to go and move it and charged him $50

Besides the red curb, great parking job Shane!
