October 3!  Jason and I celebrated 14 years of dating and love last week.  Our first date was to Eskimo Joes so we try to go back there each year.  We had our three biggest fans with us to celebrate as well!

what a big difference... who would have thought we'd have three healthy boys with cowlicks and be living back in Stilly!  The man over Jason's head was actually the table where we first sat!

Grant's enjoying soccer.  He loves playing goalie.  "AD" is a former OSU goalie who went to play in the National Women's Soccer league, and then tore her knee. She came back to town to rehab and has been living with my friend during the process.  She's now back on the field and teaching youth until she returns in the spring to professional soccer.  

(PS - She's currently ranked #4 female goalie in the US - usually the National and Olympic teams take 3 goalies so hopefully she'll make those soon!)

Grant is the short one in blue. AD is leaning over in gray.

 

It's so odd to see them in different colors!!!  Some of Grant's best buds.

 We surprised the boys at school for lunch.  Needless to say, these two were thrilled to have a mid-day playtime together on the playground!

Aunt Val married Ralph this weekend!  We have a dressy picture of just us!  

 

My family plus Chase and Val.

 

Reiders like chocolate chip pancakes!
