Celebrating Heidi

To start off Heidi's birthday we headed to Taste of Belgium for breakfast. It was delicious!

We then headed to the high school to watch Kellan's football game. Earlier that morning Noah had struggled with whether or not he was going to stick out the rest of the season. The night before had been really tough for him but ultimately he decided to head to practice. He was late leaving which was quickly pointed out to him by Carter who was waiting for his ride but off he went. We showed up just in time to see the last few Varsity runs.

Although this is not the most flattering picture of Noah, I'm so glad I captured it. Coach Ullery noticed Noah's demeanor at practice and pulled him aside afterwards for a talk. The thing I love about Coach Ullery is he's a straight shooter unlike some of the other coaches. He tells it how it is. It was in this conversation that Coach Ullery told him that he was willing to split the reps between Noah and Swaney during the week and they'd see how things go.

Kellan's cheering section! It was so fun having Bryan there.

At halftime we walked around and for some odd reason found ourselves up by the panther.

So of course we had to do some silly poses.

Later that afternoon we headed over to the Clarks for further celebrations, or as we like to call it, a rager with the teens. The rager included hanging poolside with Heidi...

a nap in the pool for Noah before everyone arrived...

whipped Dr. Peppers...

and disgusting pork for dinner.

Party time!

The teens!

The festivities were interrupted when Ashlyn got asked to Homecoming!

Ended the evening back at the pool!
