4th of July ~ Battle Creek, Michigan

So I had this post ready back in July but then life just got really crazy busy.. so here it is a little late.   I will eventually get back to current one of these days!



On our way!!!  First family selfie with the new smart phones! (yes, we finally have smartphones!!)

Double rainbow

Elise trying to catch some Zzzzz's

These guys have soooo much fun together!!









We spent the afternoon at the lake... rope swing and all... even Eric did it!








Lauren and Riley (both age 8)


The Thunderbirds were in town and we could see part of the air show from the dock.. reaaaaallllly loud but pretty cool.

These two are hilarious together... same age, same silly faces and both hilarious.  They said they were forming a BC Club (bad cousin club) because they kept getting in trouble together!


Good times with Grandpa Hubbard





We went over to Fort Custer (Air Force Base) with some friends of Brad's and they got us on the base to watch the fireworks... fun but late night. Oh and the middle right photo.. I still can't stop laughing at. It was super dark out and my flash stays on for a bit on my phone and pretty much blinded everyone and Aidan and Riley didn't care for it!  Aidan's face is a classic!

Aaaaannnd back on the road again.. heading home... it was a great holiday weekend!

The end of the soccer season~ Kohls Cup 2014

Our team played in the Kohls Cup up in Ames, Iowa. We had 2 games on Saturday and 2 games on Sunday. Lauren was a beast. I know I talk her up but she was awesome this weekend!!  It was so fun to watch!

Huddle with coach Dain before kick-off!






Lauren and Brandy...Brandy is a beast too!!


Coach Dad in deep concentration



Eric helping Taryn ice her hand down after she got stepped on.

As Aunt Lisa Hubbard stated... "Girly but tough"!

Kennedy, Ava, Brandy, Katelynn
Alli, Lauren Ali, Taryn
Our team for day one!

Time for some shade and some grub!


Lauren and Brandy were captains for the last game.




You know it's a blow out when coach has a seat with the girls.. he is usually pacing the fields with Eric.


No stress here!

Track and Field Camp ~ 2014

Lauren getting ready for her track meet.

Practicing her running pose!

Elise of course had to be stylish for the meet.



High Jump action for Elise

She actually "jumped" this time, the first time she just kind of ran through it!

At the end of the meet all the girls (ages 4-5th grade) ran one lap around the track.. she finished 4th!! And she did it in 1 minute 40 seconds.. she is a rock star!


Elise finally overcame her fear of the hurdle.. when she puts her mind to it.. she is awesome!

She is like a gazelle!

LOVE this photo.. nice form!

Okay, here comes a TON of videos....
