Go Rogers Royals!

Our football team, the Roger's Royals, is doing really well this year. They are in the playoffs, so we decided that we should support our hometown team! Last Friday night we met up with some of mommy and daddy's friends (and my friends were there too) for pizza before the game. After we ate we headed over the game, and it was PACKED!

Us kids had fun running around during the game. Here I am with some of my friends: Brady, Addison, and Brooklyn. Zach was there too, but just not in this picture.

I hope I get to go to more football games in the future, because they sure are fun!

Go Daddy Go!

This past Sunday my daddy ran in the Twin Cities marathon. Grandma and Grandpa Owens were here to watch, and daddy's friends Tony and Bob came too, and also Bob's son Charlie.

Grandpa, Grandma, Mommy and I left the house very early to meet daddy at mile 7. It was so cold out that morning, that I had to bundle up to keep warm. Here I am waiting to see daddy at mile 7.

There were so many people running, that we almost missed daddy at this stop. But, at the last minute we saw him, and mommy, grandpa and grandma were yelling his name to cheer him on. He saw us and smiled and then kept running.

After we saw daddy we walked back to the car and drove over to mile 16. I accidentally fell asleep, so I had to rely on mommy for the rest of this post. We met up with Bob, Tony and Charlie at mile 16 and saw daddy running again. This time we had to wait a little longer to see him because we were a few minutes ahead of him. But, we finally saw him in the crowd and yelled his name again to cheer him on. He kept running. Maybe I'm not understanding this whole marathon thing....why are we trying to find daddy only to have him keep running away from us? I guess I need to ask more questions. Here's daddy waving to mommy at mile 16. Go Daddy go!

After we saw daddy at mile 16, we split up a little. Grandpa went with Tony, Bob and Charlie, and Grandma came with mommy and I. Why am I always stuck with the girls? The boys went to mile 23 to cheer daddy on, and they called us when they saw him. Grandma stood at mile 25, and mommy and I went to mile 26. We were so excited to see daddy at the top of the hill! Mommy was cheering so loud telling him that he was almost done!

After we saw daddy, we started walking down to the finish line so that we could see him. We found him by the 'O' sign for Owens. I was so glad to finally hug my daddy!

Mommy and I were SO proud of daddy for finishing the marathon! We knew he could do it! And he did it in 3 hours and 26 minutes, very impressive for his first time!

Here's daddy and I after we got home. I couldn't wait to show him the sign that we made for him. Good job daddy, we are all so proud of you!

Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday Grandma and Grandpa Owens came to visit me. We all decided to goto Apple Jack Orchard in the afternoon, and mommy promised me that I could pick out my pumpkin for Halloween.

Mommy forgot to mention, however, that there would be HUNDREDS of pumpkins to choose from! I couldn't believe it, and I took off running when I saw them all! I just kept saying 'pamp' over and over again. I tried to pick them up, but they were too heavy for me.

Mommy and Grandma went inside the bake shoppe to get us some treats, and while they were doing that, Daddy took me over to see the goats

and then bought me some popcorn to feed them. I thought it was so funny when they stuck their heads out to eat the popcorn. But, I soon got tired of that and decided that I wanted to eat the popcorn off the ground instead. Mommy didn't like that too much.

Here I am looking at the turkeys too. I wasn't scared and all and put my face right up to them. Mommy was scared that I was going to lose an eye, so I had to take a few steps back. Silly mama! :)

After running around for awhile, and stopping at all the 'photo op' places (see attached photos), I finally found my pumpkin! By that time I was really tuckered out, so grandpa found me a wagon to ride back to the car in. Thanks grandpa!

That's all for now!

Oh, and P.S., I'm not quite sure why this place was called an 'apple' orchard, I didn't even see an apple when I was there?!? I think mommy and daddy were holding out on me.
