More Hockey and the start of the Christmas Season

We put our tree up early this year due to our trip to PA over Thanksgiving weekend, Jarred is working hard to put together the train Grandpa Terrry brought over so the little guys can enjoy it. Jarred is such a hard working kid!

Colton in the hockey shop, he can not wait until he learns to skate so he can play hockey

Hmmm.... could he be anymore like his big brother? Brady wants to be the goalie, we cant seem to find pads small enough for him, maybe next year! He is such a minature Jarred, lucky little guy!

Swimming of course at the hotel.

Happy 31st Birthday JR

JR and Kristia celebrated their birthday's this weekend. We went out to Mojo's in Grand Rapids and had a really fun "adult" time! We do not do that much which makes it twice as fun when we do get out! Sara Smith, the Whitakers, Houles, Mike Hane and Leah's sister all joined us!

My First ND Game

Our friends Anne and John Brainard were able to get us tickets to a ND game in September we all had a really good time!

Happy Halloween

Trick or Treating went very well we went around our circle with the Brainards and Jarred went along with a couple of friends.

Last Game

Jarred had to wear a huge cover over his cast the last football game of the year, he did not mind as long as he was able to play. They beat RP 32-0

8th Grade Football Season

Jarred's 8th grade football team had huge success this year. His team is an amazing group of nice kids and great tallent. I think the final count was out scoring their opponent 138-32 overall this season. These are pictures from his last game, he is number 42, the one with the big cast on his arm! His biggest fans are always there to cheer him on.

Carving Pumpkins

Precious...although they fight a little bit everyday, Brady and Colton are becoming the best of friends. They are eachothers live in little playmates.

The Lunds put on a Harvest Festival for our church and friends, we had pumpkin carving, hayrides, pony rides, games, food and fun!

Horse Back Riding

Colton and Brady loved horse back riding at the Lund's Harvest Party. Colton was VERY brave you see on the 3rd picture he thought he was funny rocking back and forth giving me a hear attack!
