This past week was Homecoming. There was a lot of fun activities as we all remember. This picture is of Tyler from Thursday. The day was class color and sophomores were yellow. So, Tyler dug out his 6th grade tournament team basketball uniform and wore it to school. I seem to remember an Uncle of Tyler's that did something similar?! Must be a guy thing:)

We had another fun weekend in Ankeny with the Smith's. Each month we see Chloe she gets so big and continues to make us laugh. We are very fortunate to have them close so we can see each other more often. Tyler definitely enjoys talking sports with Jason and it was fun for me to have Hollie to go shopping with.

Labor Day trivia question: What do Uncle Rich and Tyler now have in common?
Answer: They both got tickets with grandpa. After the car show they were driving home and got pulled over for not displaying a front license plate. Fortunately, Tyler's was just a warning.
Today Grandpa and Grandma came to Storm Lake for the Kiwanis Labor Day car show. Tyler got to be the first driver of the car since Grandpa made it street legal. We didn't win any awards but it caught the eye of the local newspaper writer and lots of spectators. The kids got to sit in the drivers seat and parents took their pictures. "379" will be in many photo scrap books.
