Blackhawks win!!!!!

These 3 amigos did this at almost every home game of the Blackhawks.  Have you seen how they do their national anthem?  It's awesome.  What an amazing season.  Great team, great coach, great season. Is this going to be the next Bulls dynasty???  Go Blackhawks!

A few more photos to add...

The Presidential Election booths we had this past November.  Unfortunately, the guy we picked did NOT win.

Our little hockey players

I think it is pretty evident that this toothless wonder belongs out on the ice. :)

Sweet Charlie.  He loves to tackle and "drop gloves" with Daddy and Landon.

We took Landon to a Blackhawks game for his 6th birthday present/party.

Oh Charlie

I feel there is a funny story to tell about Charlie just about every single day.  He really brightens our days and is absolutely hilarious.  We really need to have a blog dedicated to his daily actions.

During homeschool today.  As you can see Landon is deep in his studies, while Charlie is done with his work and feels like standing on his head. 

On a side note: Charlie is studying numbers, shapes and letters.  He seems to comprehend quite well, and we are very excited to see where his homeschooling journey takes him.  We love the fun entertainment breaks he gives us!

Sports Class!!!

This winter Charlie did a series of sports classes.  He couldn't get enough of it, and likes to have sports class in the basement as well.  He sets up cones, does drills and runs around the basement until he is tired.  :)

Football with daddy.

Always smiling...

2013...

Saying good-bye to Andrew.  He had a professional soccer tryout in the Philippines this past February. He did very well, but hurt his back while there.  He is hopeful to make a full recovery and head back overseas!

Andrew trained Landon every once in a while this fall for a half hour or so. Landon loved it!

Christmas 2012

We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!  Landon and Charlie soaked up all the Christmas activities this year.  They couldn't wait for Santa Claus to come down the chimney.  It was fun seeing how excited Charlie was for Christmas this year, and how much more he could grasp it all.  On Christmas morning, instead of racing down the stairs to see their presents, they both started singing, "Happy Birthday to baby Jesus."  A great reminder to Jeff and I about what Christmas is all about! :)  AND then they raced down the stairs to see the gifts that were left to them.
