I went to an Iowa game!!

It is not very often I get to go to an Iowa game. A friend's hubby had free tickets to the Iowa/FL Int'l game on 9/6. Dan had to work overtime, and his wife was working - so we made a day of it! We had perfect weather, and the team looked great. We ended up sitting behind the friends of defensive player Tyler Sash. They were very excited about his 1st starting game, and seeing how he had his 1st interception last week against IA state, I'd say they have a lot to be happy about. It was also cool to watch #4 Jordan Berstein. His mom is a family friend, and he is a Lincoln High school alumni!

So, here are some pics from the game.

Well, summer is over and we are back into full swing at the Hejkal house. Julia started 2nd grade at St. Anthony's on 8/21. We are very excited about 1st communion this year. Also, instead of a combo dance class, she will be taking acro only this year. The dance studio has moved to downtown Des Moines, and it is kind of fun to have the studio in the new Gateway area. Class is only a half hour, so no time to really run anywhere, but there is a park across the street, so I'll be walking during her class. I'm still doing Yoga on Tuesdays as well, so two workouts in one day......could be the start of a great trend.

Sophia just turned 18 months on 9/12. We had her checkup yesterday and she is 23lbs. Up by 1 1/2lbs and they said no gain for height, but I think since she was squirmy, we didn't get an accurate measurement. She is talking up a storm, and very entertaining. This weekend we even got her to say GO HAWKS for the big Iowa/Iowa State game.

Dan's birthday is this weekend, and we are having some friends over and going out. His brother is coming down from Minnesota to hang out, and we are looking forward to a night out with friends (thanks mom!). Dan's parents came down last week, and had a nice visit. Dan and his dad even managed to get a round of golf in on friday.

I'm going to try and update this more often, but just in case....here are some pics of the cutest Hawkeye fans ever!!

July 21st

Well, I started this blog a few months ago and never really got going. I'm all about social networking, so I figured now is as good a time as any to get started.

We received a free swingset from a younger lady that I work with. The girls absolutely love it and Julia can already do flips on the rings! We also got a small pool for them to play in on the deck, so we were out in the sun all weekend. Last night we cooked out at a friends, and Sophia was trying to sneak off with a glass vase....it is amazing what kind of things they can get into in a matter of seconds.....lol
