New Smile for Josh

Josh got his braces off today.  He was pretty excited!

 Before the braces came off.

And after!  Handsome boy.  We went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch to celebrate Josh's first braces-free meal.  Thanks Dr. Nord!

Happy Birthday Kaleb

Even though Kaleb passed away almost two months ago, we decided that his 16th birthday could not go unnoticed.  A bunch of friends of the Heaps family got together and we put on a birthday celebration for Kaleb and his family. Even though we had to move the party inside due to the weather, it was a big celebration of Kaleb and an outpouring of love to his family.

 We had a balloon launch with written messages to Kaleb.

 Thankfully we had a break in the weather.  It was a special night being with all the people that love Kaleb and his family.  Happy birthday Kaleb, our friend.

Top Golf

We were given a couple of gift cards to Top Golf and decided we needed to bring some friends along.  Our dear friends the Heaps moved from our neighborhood and we don't get to see them nearly enough so we called them up to come along with us.  It was a fun night!

We took up two bays and had the younger crowd at one and the more mature crowd at the other.

The whole gang once our night was complete: Jeremy, Alec, me, McKenna, Kayden, Jarron, Jaxon, Josh, Jake, Brian and Tamra.  We are all itching to go back!

First Day of School 2018

Another school year is upon us.  It is sad to see summer go, but exciting to see what a new school year will bring.

 Kayden is in 5th grade this year and has Mrs. Clyde as a teacher.

 Jaxon is a Junior.

 

 Josh is in 8th grade this year.

Josh, Johnny, Eli, Matt, Parker and Ryan.  (Eli's mom snuck out to the bus stop for a quick photo.  Glad she shares!)

This photo sums up these good group of friends and their personalities.

Demolition Derby 2018

Last hoorah of the summer is attending the Demolition Derby.  It has become a family tradition that we look forward to each year.  This year was a good derby with lots of excitement and crashes!

It's been a great harvest in the garden this year!

Share A Smile Triathalon

Jeremy's office participates in the Share A Smile triathlon every year.  They get geared up for it, have competitions and prizes.  This year they decided to go with an 80s theme.  They had a great time:

 The office participants and cheer squad.

 

 Jeremy made himself an MTV t-shirt and found a nice blonde mullet.  Along with his sweat bands he looked amazing!  He did a good job on the 5K.

 Jeremy and Darren both did the 5K.  Who wore the 80s better??  It was a fun morning for a good cause.
