Eagles Volleyball 2023

Volleyball season is always so much fun!  We love watching Sadie do something she loves and this is one of those things.  Although this was a bit of a rougher season in terms of the team dynamics Sadie still had a lot of fun.  This was her second year as the teams setter and she did great but she also grew a lot as a hitter and hopes to do more of that in the years to come.

The season wrapped up with just 2 losses and then a few weeks later J.B., Wyatt's baseball coach/Corina's dad, invited Sadie to be a part of a Halloween quad tournament.  This was a ton of fun for Sadie, maybe the most fun she had all season, as they faced some really good competition.  They set a goal of scoring one point off someone's head, saving 2 balls off a foot, and I forget what else.  Leave it to J.B. to have them set goals.  He also told Sadie no more underhand serving which has been goal of hers all season and with his push and support she took right to it and gained a ton of confidence.

Silver Bracket Winners!!!

Not bad for 2 volleyball players and 2 soccer players!

Pumpkin Patchin'

I honestly wasn't even sure I had it in me to go to a pumpkin patch this year but Brandon talked me into it and I'm so glad we did.  The kids had a blast as they always do and we made some fun memories.

This is our favorite video from the evening.  So many children, so much screaming, so much nonsense, twins just doing what 4 year old twins do.

This pretty much sums up our family right now.

The wheat bin is always a hit although it's hard for me to enjoy because it makes such a terrible mess and ends up EVERYWHERE!!!

Humoring Mom for a photo.

Happy Fall!

Troyer Addition - Week 33-35

October 14, 2023

The adrenaline has officially worn off.  It's not as fun to take or post the pictures cuz it feels like we've been stuck on this finishing up odds and ends FOREVER but we're doing our best to stay motivated and to gear up for what comes next which is more craziness I fear.

Week 33-35: Last bits of framing and concrete.

No concrete this weekend as the chances of rain continue to rise.  Now they're saying they'll come mid week and pour at 3:30 in the afternoon which means they're finishing in the dark.  Brandon is not a fan of this plan so he is asking around to see if we can find someone else to pour the concrete.

This weekend we worked on checking off more miscellaneous items.

I'm pretty sure humor is how we stay sane right now.

This weekend we finally got our concrete poured.  It didn't turn out quite as we hoped and we didn't order enough which was really a bummer but what can you do.

Cooper and Sam went to cheer on Tim at his game this weekend.

These boys have been best buds since kindergarten.

Brandon poured the last square of concrete himself.  Man what a fiasco but I guess it keeps us humble when things don't go quite as planned no matter how hard we try.  We're a little bummed about how this went but its just concrete right?  Cars will park on it, kids will ride bikes on it, and it is what it is.

Happy 14th Birthday Sadie

We celebrated Sadie's birthday a little more low key this year.  She wanted to have Payton over for a sleepover so we did that the night before her birthday.  

 

In the morning I took the girls out to get Dutch Brothers and donuts for breakfast.

Then it was time for presents. 

I love how everyone still gathers around to watch.

This year Sadie just got a few little things and then after volleyball is over she wants to go out and get her 2nd ear piercing and to pick out a Stanley water bottle.

For dinner we went out to Turner Pizza with Grammy and then back home for cake and ice cream.

No joke where does the time go?  Sadie is looking and feeling so grown up these days.  We definitely miss our little girl some days but we're also so proud of the beautiful young lady she's becoming.

Love you Sader Tot!
