Jared's 2nd Football Game August 28th, 2010

Jared played in his second football game as #12 on the Gold team this morning against the Black team. The Gold team seems to be working together well and they were able to win the game 7-0.
Jared made some great plays.
Jeff and I had to switch at half time as Sydney was cheering at the same time that Jared was playing so I missed him advancing the ball and him helping make the winning touchdown.

(P.S. - I cannot be held responsible for any information in this entry as I don't really know what I'm talking about. I just listen to what Jared and Jeff tell me and hope I interpret correctly. LOL)

Sydney's 1st time Cheering for JV this Season August 28, 2010

Sydney did and awesome job cheering for the JV teams this morning. Her arms were straight and her voice was loud. Best of all she seemed to be having more fun than she had last year.
Go, Sydney!

Here is our little goof ball using her pom poms as earrings.

Jared's 1st Football Game August 26th, 2010

Jared played his 1st football game with the Gold team tonight against the Lawrence Lions. We weren't/aren't too happy to be back playing some games against a football club that we intentionally left and hopefully it will all work out in the end. It's only 3 games and we only have to travel for 2 of them so hopefully they will go well. The first game wasn't bad, we won 21-12, but there is still some of the behaviours there that we would like our children not to witness. Jared did great, his first time ever carrying the ball and he made us proud.
 He's still loves to play defensive tackle though.

First Day of School - August 17th, 2010

So.....the kids are back at school this morning and I miss them! Only 6 more hours and they will be home. I had to fight to get a picture of the kids this morning but I used the "Please, for me." speech and finally got a couple of shots in before I was told "MOM, no MORE Pictures! They are awesome kids and I hope they have an awesome day.

Last day of Summer Vacation - 8-16-2010

It's the last day of summer vacation and what are we doing? Meeting the kids teachers and going to football practice. We're pretty exciting aren't we?
Jeff was helping out at practice tonight I think he enjoyed it, probably reliving his glory days. (lol)
Sydney has a friend she hangs out with when she's not practicing cheer, they usually hang out in the mud, imagine that!

Pool Time again - August 15th, 2010

I think they spent 3 hours in the pool, it was pitch black when they got out and we took Jared's friend home!
We started out with pretty afternoon clouds
and ended with the moon out in all it's glory.

Practice in 101 Degree weather - 8-9-2010

I think we all just about melted out at practice tonight.
The boys practices in full pads for the first 45 minutes then without for 45 minutes and then we got to leave 30 minutes early.
The cheerleaders had no such luck. They practiced out on the blisteringly hot cement and stayed the entire time to practice.

Downtown Canal Boats - August 8th, 2010

Tonight we went downtown to rent a paddle boat down on the canal. It was really peaceful and relaxing.
The kids had fun paddling and steering the boat while Jeff and I sat in the back and got chauffeured.

How many...? August 1st, 2010

How many boys can balance on an exercise ball before it pops or they fall over? 
 Apparently four! LOL
