What's Up....

We decided to take a quick trip up to the mountains last Sunday after church...you know, pack a picnic, bring the baseball gloves to play some ball, some chairs, a blanket, just spend some fun quality family time!! We thought it would be a nice spring outing into the great outdoors... it has been so nice and warm down here, in the 80's! Well, we were wrong... we FROZE TO DEATH!!! There was even snow!!! We ended up coming home early because we were too cold to stay up there. We didn't even bring real coats, just jackets. We have also become super wimps living where it is warm. Anyway, it was still fun!!


Notice the cute new hair!!

Picnic Time

Wet and cold! But having fun!!See the creek!
Fast at work building a bridge!!!


Yesterday we had a day full of football games for #1 and #2!!
(if you want to hear the sound... scroll to the bottom and push the play button on the music box... it will pause the music)



Number 2 -- he is #51... he catches the pass for the TOUCHDOWN!!!






This is our 'other' son-- just kidding... he is #2's best buddy... he is along the back side running the ball for a TOUCHDOWN--he is #50!!!

This is #1-- he is #62-- he helps trip the guy for a tackle in this one!!!

This was the championship game... the boys played hard but lost. They had a rough season, their team started with only 16 players and ended up with 11-- just the exact amount for the team to play-- so not only did they only have HALF of the amount of players as all of the other teams they played against--- they had to play EVERY PLAY in EVERY GAME!! Even though they didn't win a lot-- they stuck it out and gave it everything they had... that says a lot about each boy on the team... a good character builder.... WAY TO GO #1!!! WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

This one is hard to see.... shaky hands Shane taped it....he was running the chains too though.... the part you want to see it the very first play... #1 is in the middle--- right in front of the ball playing nose guard... he goes in underneath everyone and sacks the guy with the ball.....the lame thing is that even though he made the tackle... the announcer gave the credit to the wrong guy-- he was a little miffed about it!!! What a great job #1!!!

The season is over... for now... he wants to play again in the fall...we shall see!!!! He learned a lot and got a good taste of what tackle football is all about!!! We are just glad to have our babysitter back for Friday nights!!! WHOOO HOOO!!!

  2. I think it's crazy how living here we can just drive a little ways away and go from warm to freezing!! That's like when we drove up to Mt. Charleston the first summer we lived here -we went from triple digit heat to low 70's and were so cold!!

    Yeah for getting your babysitter back! Maybe now we can go to dinner together or something -
