The Bauer Family

We had a full house on Thanksgiving Day (15).  The entire family made it.  A great time was had by all.  Two turkeys and all the sides, my wife is incredible.  The usual problems were encountered with the guests not arriving on time.  Mom (Sherry) forgot to make the ham. Everyone cleared out by 8;30pm and Michelle and I started our preperations for Black Friday.  It was the first time I did the shopping thing.  We started at Sam's Club at 5:00am and wrapped up around 10:00am.  We had a lot of fun.  Christmas is just around the corner.   

A lot has happened since our last post and want to bring things up to date.  I will post photos after we get home and get a little more organized. We are currently at Crystal Mountain having done the Peak 2 Peak Mountain bike race.  We will be leaving this morning for home.  Soccer season started back up in September for the boys.  JJ's team is again coed and they are playing well.  They  have really made progress since the spring season.  Brendan is now in U6 and doing well, he likes practice more than his games. On September 11 we went to Addison Oaks County Park and raced their Fall Classic Mountain Bike race.  Everyone had a great time.  JJ took third place in his race.  It was around 7 miles long, the longest he had done to that point.  They had barbecue pulled pork sandwiches, etc.  It was a lot of fun. Brendan turned 6 on October 10 and had a party at Chuck E Cheese.  My parents came and joined in the festivities....
