Breast Cancer Awareness Day

Good Morning! Yesterday, as soon as I picked up the boys from school, they both informed me they HAD to wear pink today. I asked why and they said because the principal said to. I had already read that October 1 was national breast cancer awareness day and to wear pink that day but never imagined that my boys would want to. So, this morning I had their clothes picked out for school and there was no pink...imagine that in a house full of boys?!? I tried putting a pink sticker but it would not stick and they told me they needed a pink shirt. Then I remembered....a time when I found some pink polo shirts on clearance and bought them thinking those would be nice for spring. BUT, their daddy would not let me put them on the boys...He's from the old school :) Well, recently I have been going through closets and sorting clothes and I remembered I put those in a pile for ebay or goodwill. I frantically searched this morning and found them! The boys were so excited so I made them take a picture...to send to daddy because he misses you! So here we are, silly pictures and all. We had to go for a dental cleaning and checkup before heading to school. Hi Daddy...we love and miss you lots...and by the way...No...Matthew is not in pink!

Football team pictures

Early Saturday we had team football pictures...8:30 AM. Talk about getting started early! But the good thing about it was we had the rest of the day (well...after the soccer game-another story) to get ready for the BIG GAME! Yes GA-AL. I was informed by my Favorite brother in law that my husband's mom had disowned him for the weekend because he had this black shirt on Saturday. To give him credit, he changed before the game that night...and...his...team...won.

S-O-C-C-E-R

Yes, in addition to Andrew playing football, Conner is playing in his first team sport...Soccer. He is enjoying it and we are learning alot...even daddy who has never played the sport(one of very Few he hasn't). You can tell by the picture above he is one proud boy!

Here is one during warm up.


Right in the thick of things and getting a foot on the ball...Great Job!! (he is the one with the dark green shirt on the left...you can see his face)


Keeping up with the action...


He played goalie the second half and protected the goal nicely. No score by the other team! Here he is returning the ball to play...our coach lets them kick it or throw it over head.

Fall for FOOTBALL

I'm not sure of the them for this Favorite Foto Friday but I know what I want to use....Football pictures! We just started having games this week and its so much fun to see the practice paying off. It's his first year playing football, and yes, it's flag football. He takes it very seriously. Just look at the expressions on his face!


This is a pregame picture!


Huddling with the team determining their next play. Don't you love the coach?


Look at him blocking!


He takes football seriously....like his mom!

On another football note, we will have a big divided house here this weekend. Hope everyone has a great weekend! Go DAWGS!!!!!!!! Roll all over the tide!

Wordless Wednesday

We Miss you PawPaw! Happy Birthday MeeMee!!!

First on the order we want to wish our Mee Mee a very Happy Birthday. Sorry we cannot be there but I'm sure everyone is taking great care of you.

On a much sader note, we lost our beloved PawPaw a couple of weeks ago on the morning of August 19th. He had recently received the news that he had lung cancer that had already spread to lymph nodes in the chest area. We were not ready to say goodbye but God had much greater plans for him in heaven...where he is cured and able to breath so much better. Matthew and I spent extra time with MeeMee after the funeral so again I have neglected updating this site.

This picture was taken back late winter/ early spring 2008. MeeMee and PawPaw had come to visit us and we decided to take them to visit the zoo. We had a great time I only wished I would have taken more pictures that day.

PawPaw we miss you!!! MeeMee we love you and hope you come to see us in a couple of weeks...
