Jayden's 1st Tennis Experience......

As a 6th grader there are only a few sports that Jayden can participate in at school..........so he thought he would try tennis. Jayden had never played tennis before and he almost made the A Team; however, most of the kids on the A Team were 7th and 8th graders.......... He enjoyed playing with the B Team and hopes to make the A Team next year!!!! GO FALCONS!!!!

The Napoleon Dynamite Dance!!

The boys are very good at the Napoleon Dynamite dance.........they were showing off for mom!!!

Freddy Krueger & Sully!!!

We have Sully (from Monsters, Inc.) and Freddy Krueger for Halloween this year!!

The boys enjoyed trick or treating at relatives and then at The Legends subdivision with their cousin Braiden (Football Player)........

We even ran in to Grandpa Simpson on the street and they had fun trick or treating him as well........

Us parents even enjoyed the warmer weather (warm for this time of year) and walked around the neighbor hood with the boys............look closely there is someone being goofy in the background!!!

Halloween at the Vanderpools!!

The boys carved pumpkins (Jayden's is smiling, but Dylan's is frowning). Then they decorated in the back yard with their pumpkins, a grave, and Mr. Bones.....

Butterfingers!!!!

Jayden was on the big boys team.............he was a little worried at first, but then he figured out that he would get to play other positions besides just lineman! It was all over after that - he got to try several positions and even tried out for the quarterback position! He did a fantastic job at the many different positions he played!! He played wide receiver most of the season and his coaches and teammates gave him the nickname of "Butterfingers" (self explanatory)!! He has really enjoyed playing football for the Nampa PAL league, but he gets to move on next year and try out for the 7th grade Vallivue Middle School football team!!!!

Below are some pictures throughout the season of our champ!! Way to go Butterfingers!!!
