Let's Go Hillsboro Hawks!

This fall we had a once-and-a-lifetime thing occur in our city. Kevin's high school alma mater's football team came to our current city to play one of the area high school teams. You might not think this is a big deal but to Kevin and his football friends this was HUGE.  We have been blessed so much by Kevin's Highschool friends.  Six of Kevin's closest friends that were in his graduating class (or the class or two ahead of him) remain "besties".  The coolest part of these 6 amazing guys is they are married to amazing ladies whom I love and adore.  We all get a long and have so much in common. We try to get together will our Hillsboro friends at least twice a year however since we have had children we see each other a lot more.  Never thought that would happen!  So in September the Hawks came to town and so did Erick, Mary, Sara, & Coach Bill and their children to spend the night! 
 
Of course I had to decorate in blue & white and have some type of football decor everywhere.

 Riley's big thing after every photo was to say SILLY FACE...heres our silly faces.
 At the game. Kevin had a perma-grin on his face all night!
 Halftime! Kevin and Z on the sidelines! Can you tell Kevin is in Hawk Heaven!
 Silly Face!  It was awesome how great the kids got along. Zachary was sad when everyone left on Saturday afternoon.

 Chase and Zachary LOVED running the field after the game. Chase was teaching Zachary all kinds of plays.

 

 
It was a FUN, FUN, weekend filled with lots of memories, laughter, and food!
