Brady was able to go trick or treating with his buddy Kyle this year. Brady was a little scared of the big bad Scooby Doo that Kyle was but he did get better when Kyle took the costume off! Other neighbors that stopped by were Alex(John & Julie), Zack, & Matt(Steve & Beth). There was about 150 kids that came through and it was a fun night overall.

Walter Payton's Roundhouse Dinner

Matt Morse, Jordan Roberts, &

Brandon Pence, Luke Hallman, & Nick Futrell

Matt was nominated for a WP player of the week award so we were invited to join him for dinner and the ceremony. Sandwich players(which Dusty coaches) were also nominated for some awards and we were able to be there to support them also. It was a very nice night and a great way to honor high school football players and their achievements for the year.

The Behringer Farm

Brady, Pops, & Elyot

Sunday we went to enjoy a day at the Behringer farm. Mrs. B & Auntie Rm had birthday's that needed to be celebrated & it was a beautiful day to be out. Brady went for a tractor ride that I'm not so sure he was ready for since he had just woken up from his nap, but we still got the pic!

Jack Pierce

Jack #3 played soccer at Minooka High School this past weekend. We went to watch him play and he did a great job! Neuqua Valley ended up beating Minooka 2-1 in the final minutes. Jack plays defense and even had a play about 4 feet in front of their goal that ended up blocking a goal and sending it back the other way! Great job!

White Sox playoff game

Playing bags before the big game! Brady & me
Matt, Brady, & Dusty
White Sox winner!!!

My mom, brother, Dusty, Brady, & myself went to the lone win the White Sox had in the playoffs. It was a pretty good game and being part of the "black out" was very fun. Also at the game were my friends Stacey & Todd, my cousin Josh & Aimee, and Aunt Pat & Uncle Dan. We got to the game early and tailgated for a little while. That is when Brady got his pic taken by the Chicago Tribune and Dusty, Matt, and I got interviewed by channel 7. Then it started to rain so we headed into the Stadium club. Wow was that packed. No where to sit we headed to our seats. Luckily we were under an overhang and could hang out and wait for the game. The game started about 30 minutes late but that didn't damper the spirit of the crowd which was crazy! Everyone was up and cheering for most of the game. It was great for our team and the white towels were amazing to see flying around. Great little spurt at the end of the season to make the playoffs and what a great game to go to! Bring on spring training!

Nope...not ketchup!

Brady experienced his first war wound this weekend. He was running (which he now knows how to do) and diving on pillows. Well, he went a little far and hit the wood part of the couch. Mommy was actually on the phone with Daddy at the time and totally kept her calm for the whole ordeal. Afterwards I freaked out a little but I made it through. I am sure there are many more of these things to come! Enjoy the pic! Ha

This past Sunday we went to Aunt Kathy's to celebrate a handful of birthdays. We enjoyed seeing everyone again and were able to take a picture with the girl cousin's kids (Me-Brady, Laura-Josiah and Lisa-Austin) I was the first time we met Josiah. It is amazing how small they are and how quickly they grow up! Austin is a little ham and at such a fun age. What fun!
What is that crazy guy in the middle doing to make these cute guys smile!?!

Aurora Christian's Jordan passes record
Eagle now tops on TD passing list


On film, Jordan Roberts might laugh at himself. First, he had to pick himself off the turf and get out from under a Chicago Christian defender. Then he ran over to Matt Morse and kind of jumped into a body bump, but a wobbly ankle didn't really let him get too high in the air.

Jordan Roberts of Aurora Christian celebrates after breaking the state record of 95 touchdown passes during Friday night's home game against Chicago Christian. The Aurora Christian senior quarterback set the IHSA record for career touchdown passes Friday night in a 42-28 victory over Chicago Christian.

The lucky target was wide receiver Morse, who caught exactly zero passes through the first four games after suffering through mononucleosis and its complications. On Friday, he caught four touchdowns from Roberts. The record-tying haul was a 12-yarder on the left side of the end zone. The record-setter was on a slant and go from 16 yards out, only this time the ball had to be floated over a defender and short of the end line. It was a perfect spiral delivered to the perfect place.

He closed his eyes and clenched a fist remembering it. "Then I heard everyone go nuts and I was like, 'Yes, he caught it. Thank you.'"

"It's history," Morse said. "Just to be able to do that with him means a lot to me."

Mini Dusty

I have a mini Dusty running around all day! What a spitting image of daddy. I should have thrown a hat on and Brady would have been a dead ringer for him. We are proud of daddy & all he is doing with his football team!

Charles Braden

Just a great picture of Brady from over the summer. He is so much fun right now. He entertained many this past weekend and was such a sport with the late nights and running around. We love him so much! I can't believe he is 14 months old!
