SOCCER!!

Well Soccer was a success again this year! Jack loves soccer and can hardly wait each season for it to come. This year he moved up to a team that actually played positions and loved it! He liked being the sweeper. He also liked being the goalie (which he did an awesome job at!)

Charley decided he wanted to try Soccer also. It didn't go so well! Let me just say he only played for the snacks! He loved the half time snacks and after game treats! He was the comic relief for the game. After half time if there was still snacks left over Charley would run to the side lines in the middle of the play to grab an apple or a grape. He is hilarious! I wish you could have seen it!

He looked cute though!!!!

Emma Captures a Moment

Emma has quite the eye. One day she noticed the shadow of the cat on the wall and took a picture. She caught the perfect picture. I think we may have an artist on our hands!

New members welcome

Well I guess the Haeberle's are getting a new member of the Family on December 19th. And this new member has been approved by all. Jake and I have been on several double dates with him and Jennifer and it has always been such an enjoyable time! His name is Sterling Moses and has won the heart of Jennifer Haeberle Brown. We are excited to have him join the family. He is a wonderful man and I believe he will be a wonderful blessing to Jennifer and her children. Sterling has 2 children of his own, Chance and Chase. They are wonderful boys. Sterling and his boys are from Washington.

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY MOSES'!

I love the first day of school!

Do you know that Staples commercial that plays the Christmas song, "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!"? Well that commercial rings true for me, I love the first day of school! No more dealing with kids fighting all day long. No more hearing, "I'm bored!" No more hearing, "Can we go to the pool?" Basically, I love that I have a break from the kids for 7 hours. Is that awful? I hope not. Because believe me it makes me a much better Mom! I love my children dearly and I am so proud of them. But I will always treasure the first day of school!

Haeberle/Humphries Reunion

At then end of July Len and Johanna invited both of their families to a reunion in Kilgore, ID. It was a fun weekend. The kids put on a play for everyone about Grandad and Uncle Herman. It was a cute play, Emma was the director. Enjoy the pictures.

City of Rocks

I am still trying to catch up with our summer events and I am sorry I have not posted in a while. I will try to keep up better! :)

I would like to take you to City of Rocks which is located by Burley in South Central Idaho. We went there with my parents in August. It was a windy and cold day, you never know in Idaho-- even if it was August! The kids had a wonderful time in spite the wind and cold. It is such a beautiful place. We are going to camp there this next summer if anyone would like to join us!

Relay for Life

Our next adventure of the summer was Relay for Life! This was the first time our family did this special event. For those of you that don't know what the Relay for life is, it is an organization that raises money for cancer research. It brings together volunteers, survivors, family members of those that have been affected by cancer in some way and we try to raise money for cancer research. Jocelyn, Jake's sister, was in charge of the Relay in Rexburg this year. She did a wonderful job and it was a pleasure to participate in the event. I had a hard time staying up all night and ended up going to Jenni's house around 4:30 am. I just couldn't make it. But Emma made it all night! She was quite the trooper! She loved every minute of it. She enjoyed all the activities they offered and she won quite a few prizes. Jack and Charley did great also, they made it till midnight. They loved walking around the track! Jane, also Jake's sister, had them put a bead in a jar every time they went around the track and they loved being able to track their progress! As part of the ceremony, they do a lap around the track with all the luminaries lit representing loved ones who have fallen victim to cancer. As many of you know I lost my dear friend, Michelle Main, to brain cancer this last March. I bought a luminary for her and lit it in her behalf. I miss her a lot and hope that one day there will be a time when someone else will not have to lose someone dear to them by finding a cure. I have put a few pictures of her here and the relay we participated in.
