Plano Balloon Festival


We were so happy to hear that Plano has a Balloon Festival every year. Reno has awesome Balloon Races every year that we have always loved! We went with the Hess' and arrived around 6:30am with blankets, hot chocolate and donuts! Things got started a little late so we didn't get to see the cool glow when firing up the hot air balloons in the dark, but it was still lots of fun. After watching all of the balloons take off, Devon and Tyson got to go on this cool bungee jumping ride. Even though this was really neat, we still love Reno's Balloon Races better and will have to make an effort to get back there every other year or so to go see those.

Headstands!!!

About 1 month ago Jared was trying to learn how to do handstands. He was watching a few youtube videos on how to do it. Stephenie immediately showed me up by doing a perfect headstand on her first try. The kids decided that they wanted to learn too. We watched a couple how-to videos and they figured it out pretty quickly. Now it feels like Devon is upside down more than he is right-side-up.

Ky

Kylie is 11 months old now. She has started army crawling around, allowing for a little more exploration which she loves. She is really happy and loves her brothers.

Soccer Season 2-Grrrrr

Devon is back at it again this year. His team name is the bears and he let his first opponents (The Comets) know it multiple times by growling at them on the field and explaining that a bear could maul a comet. He is doing great this year and a good friend from the ward is on the team. Go Devon!
