Fall Color Tour in Our Front Yard
We have been having the most beautiful fall here in Wisconsin. We are loving the beautiful color and the beautiful weather.
Sun Rises in Wisconsin
My neighbors must think I am insane. Every once in awhile, I go running down the drive way in my pj's hoping to catch a picture of the beautiful sunrise we happen to be having. The sunrises fade so quickly so I only have a few minutes to catch as much color as I can. This past week has been particularly beautiful. The pictures don't really do justice to the morning beauty, but it is still worth seeing...I think.
And even the clouds have been pretty!

Homecoming 2010
***WARNING*** This is a LONG post! But Homecoming is so exciting I can't leave anything out. This year was so much fun. The kids had dress up days at school. There was a Homecoming parade, football games...and the Homecoming dance. It was a full week of fun and I loved mostly every minute of it. We had beautiful weather, the kids had fun, and the adults sure enjoyed every minute we could. Can't wait for next year.
We started off with Isaac's football game on Tuesday. His team won in a big way. The final score was 46-0. (Sorry for the blurry picture.) This is Isaac getting ready to tackle # 40.
Then we had Daniel's football game on Thursday. Daniel is #84. His team did not win the game, but something way more important happened. DANIEL CAUGHT A TOUCHDOWN PASS!!! I don't have a picture. But the details are: *30 yard pass, *pass was bobbled, *Daniel caught it in the end zone.
We came home to find a surprise for Nicko taped to the garage door. It was a fun way to start getting excited for the big Homecoming football game.
It also made a great spot to take the kids' picture while they we were sporting their red and white for the final dress up day of Homecoming week.
After school, there was the Homecoming Parade. We LOVE parades. We met our good friends at the parade. Alyssa and Katie were so happy to see each other.
And here is Alyssa and Nathan making a plan for all the candy they plan on gathering up during the parade.
And then the parade started. First we saw Daniel in the parade. This was a big deal to Daniel as this was his first performance where he was a tuba player.
Then we saw Isaac marching with his football team.
After the mass confusion of the parade, we headed over to the high school for the football game. The Homecoming committee had decorated for the occasion by hanging a jersey for each football player on the fence. I thought this was a really cute idea.
Alyssa is so proud of her older brothers. She was so happy to find Nicko's jersey in the line up.
And then the game started. We have had a really bad loosing streak this year, but we were really hopeful that this game would end on a happy note...but more about that later.
The freshman were part of their first halftime show this year. Daniel just started playing the tuba this fall and his goal was to be able to play the tuba in the halftime show. I was so happy that he reached his goal.
After halftime, the football game got interesting. For a few minutes it looked like Neenah might have the tiniest chance to win. They wound up loosing, but this is the scoreboard during a few brief minutes of excitement.
But after the disappointment of the game, there was Saturday night to look forward to. Daniel had a date for the Homecoming dance and Nicko had a date with his girl friend, but they did not go to the dance. Here are a few pictures from Daniels big night out.
