Trumpets, football dreams and J's Birthday

I am still trying to catch up over the last few months, so here goes. :) "H" Played in the school band this past year. I guess the band is cool in 5 and 6th grade. I wonder if it still is nerdy when you get to high school? of all the things to play "H" chose the Trumpet. It drove me crazy, when he practiced. And as soon as school was over we toke it back. :) I wonder if I'll be picking up another one in a few weeks or if he'll want to play... I don't know I hoping for the drums!
"M" and a friend went to the Big Dreams Football camp at East High in July and had a great time. They got to meet NFL player and he even got his ball signed. (Thanks NFL for the lock out, or that would have never happened.)
"J"''s B day was the end of June and I think the best thing of the hole day was his Cake. It was gone that night. And looking at the picture now makes me want to make it again. The picture of the hands all around his head is a Ballstaedt family tradition. So can you tell how old he is? I think we got the right amount of fingers in there.
