Football Season

My youngest, James is 10 and has decided that he is going to play flag football this year.  James takes after my side of the family and is built like a football player.  We have been looking forward to this day for years...(My husband and I have dreams of being supported in our golden years...just kidding ...lol)  He is very excited about playing and even when he was two, Loved tackling kids 3 times his size...No kidding! 

So yesterday, 6 of us pile into the car and drive a mile away to the field near his school where they will be playing.  The league is I9 and we love it!  The goal is to have fun!  Not a whole bunch of parents on the sidelines screaming for blood or complaining that their kids didn't get to be on the field the whole time!  This is definitely the league to go with if you want your kids to learn the sport but not Live the sport.

Anyway, James scored a touchdown during the practice!  We are so excited for him!  Can't wait to see him in the next game...Definitely going to get pics next time!

Labor Day Weekend

We really enjoyed our Labor Day Weekend this year!  Normally we stay home but this time we decided to do something different.

After church, we all piled into the car with the cooler packed on top and lots of towels/beach stuff around the kids and took off for Cold Water Rec Area!  There was much fun had by all; especially April who had chosen not to come the other two times we went.  We parked and floated the cooler up the river as we walked to one of the little islands in the river a ways away.  Craig went back and got the rubbermaid full of our little hibatchi and tools.  He cooked hotdogs, hamburgers and pizza rolls on the grill!  I know what you are thinking--Pizza Rolls?...Yes Pizza Rolls and they are Delicious on the grill!!  We did the same thing when we went on our RV trip last year!  The kids Love them and They are easy to do as long as you don't drop any through the wires!lol..

The kids didn't catch any new turtles but Jasmine was able to catch a minnow(which later escaped)!  She also was able to get a few shots for her photography class at school!  I took lots of pics and edited them ( so much fun!)   What did you do for Labor day?
