August Calendar Pages

Wow, can you believe that August is here?  The year is officially half over and the beginning of the school year is just around the corner.  It's been a bit of a long summer here, so I am ready for school to get back in session because hopefully that means the summer (and all of it's not fun things - mostly me being sick) will be OVER! 

So, here are the calendar pages for the past four years for the month of August.  As you can tell, they mostly involve school.  I really should get a head start on the calendar pages for next years calendar!

Football Game #6

I didn't get many pictures of this game.  Or at least, not many good ones to share.  So, here is the one and only picture from Football Game #6.

Band Concert

In May, Ryan had his last band concert of the school year.  I think he had fun playing the French Horn, although, it depends on his mood at the moment whether he will agree with me or not.  He had fun practicing for this concert and was less nervous for it than he was for his piano recital.  He did sign up for band again next year on his own, so it must not have been too terrible for him.

He had pretty good support for this concert.  His grandma & grandpa were there as well as his cousins Ben, Brittany, Baylee and Payton.

After the concert was over, we joined Ben, Brittany, Baylee, Payton and Ryan's friend Shawn and his family - Rick, Kim and Matt for some frozen yogurt.  It was yummy and fun to visit with family and friends.

Piano Recital

It was a pretty busy day.  The same day as Ryan's 5th football game, he also had a piano recital.  It was fun to watch him go from a football jersey to dressed up to play the piano.  My parents were able to come and watch him play.  He was nervous, but did very well.

Waiting in line for his turn.

Football Game #5

Here we are nearing the end of the the football season.  This game was actually played in May.  I can't imagine playing (and watching) football in this heat!  that would be a bit much!  They do have summer leagues.
