Are you ready for some Football???

We all got dressed in our Colts gear for church yesterday, so we would be ready for the game. Here are some pictures I snapped before church. I am loving Kyler's cheese face that we get in every picture.:)

Can they have a bigger cheese!

KINLEE: Really DUDE?

Is it me or does she look sooooo big!

Such a sweet smile.

MY LOVE!

Labor Day Parade

Yesterday was the BIG Upland Labor Day Parade. This year Kinlee's preschool rode in the parade. She thought it was the greatest thing ever. She has been asking all weekend when it was time for the parade. By the end she was all out of candy, and she had a blast. Kyler, on the other hand, could of cared less about the parade. He simply sat in a seat, and didn't bother to go after any candy. I think that may change in years to come.:)

And they are off...

She is SOOOO happy to be throwing candy!

Laura and Mike's Wedding

Last Saturday my cousin married her long time boyfriend, and we were blessed to be able to take apart in it. My camera flash wasn't working so well during the ceremony, so I have one okay picture of the happy couple. Congrats Laura and Mike! We love you.

Cake anyone?

Kiddie Kampus Take 2

Today was Kinlee's first day of preschool. She has been asking all summer, "mom when does preschool start again?" This year the big difference is the 4 yr old class is in the afternoon. Since we are still used to taking a nap, I know I said nap, this is going to come as another adjustment in our life! She had a great day today, and couldn't wait to get there to see all of her friends!

My beautiful baby girl!

Does she have to go to the bathroom?

Posing for the camera, her new favorite thing!

She didn't want me to walk in with her, but I did! Here she is hanging up her bag.

Kinlee's 1st Soccer Game

This is the first year that Kinlee can play soccer, so we decided to give it a try. She loves it! Today they had their first game, and all she wanted to do was score a goal. She didn't accomplish that, but we have 7 more games to try and make one.:) She loves her uniform, and couldn't be more excited that her team is Taylor University! It's funny watching them play as they are ALL around the ball. Here are some pictures from our day; first of her posing and then her playing!

My World

So, today marks the end of summer at the Hackman house. August 16th EVERYTHING that we have left behind for 2 1/2 months is back. Every August I go through this sense of dread, hoping and wishing that the days of summer would stay with us forever. We are so blessed to both have jobs that allow us to be off all summer, and get to spend it with our children. But if only...
My kids and my husband are the most important things to me. This is a rough time for us all, we all jump into this together, but I know at the end of the school day I get to come home to MY WORLD. Two adorable, fun, loving, and yes at times trying kids and one amazing man that I am crazy in love with, how much better can it be. I struggle so much with this all...but I remind myself WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. So tomorrow, for the first time in awhile, as we all go our separate ways, it will be the hardest day of the year for the Hackmans.

Here are some pictures from the park...boy is it hot!

Happy Anniversary , KC

Yesterday KC and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. But we had to wait until tonight to officially go out. KC took me to Eddie Merlot's in Ft. Wayne. We had a wonderful evening out, and had some AMAZING food.
KC, I am so thankful for you. You are an amazing husband, father, and most importantly my best friend. I thank God daily for you and the life that we have made together. I fall more and more in love with you everyday. Thanks for an amazing night out, and an amazing 9 years...I love you.
