My younger sister Misti and her husband Morgan had their first baby yesterday. Her name is Estella Irene Carmichael and she is precious. She was 8lbs. 4oz. and was 19.5 inches long. The boys told me that it was my turn to have another baby since Aunt Misti and Aunt Christy are both having one. I of course said no way!!
We surprised the boys with a trip to Nebraska this weekend to watch the Nebraska vs. San Jose State game. We woke the boys up on Friday morning and instead of going to school we left for Nebraska. We stayed downtown at a hotel a couple of blocks away from the stadium and walked around downtown and did some Husker's shopping. It was a beautiful day for a football game and we were only rained on for a couple of minutes. I just had to stop and take some pictures of the HUGE sunflower field that we drove past. They were amazing! Oh and about that sling Matthew is wearing, we thought he may have broken his arm skateboarding the night before we were to leave for Nebraska so we spent some time at the ER where they x-rayed his elbow and found nothing broken just bruised or as Mason likes to say "a contusion" which is the word the doc used. He is still a little sore but doing much better. The skateboard has taken a vacation.
I'm only a month late at putting these photos up geez! :) The boys started back to school on August 13 and seem to be doing just great. Both of the boys are at First Lutheran this year which has made it a lot easier getting them to and from school. Matthew started the 6th grade which is middle school (oh my!) and Mason started 1st grade. Wow how the time flies.
