Soccer and Flag Football

Jacob played flag football and soccer this year. Their soccer team was undefeated until last week. We think the other team had some pros. He really enjoyed football too. Also check out the photo of the braces - go Carolina!

Fall Football

Here's some pictures of Blake's football games from this fall. We enjoyed tailgating before all the homegames with many of you. Good company and good eats. Blake wears #83, following in the tradition of Adam and Dos. It's been a fun ride.

Our favorite time of year

Jacob, Mom and Dad went on a bicycle leaf photo ride. We'd like to share some of our favorite trees with you. Oh yeah, and it's fun to drag your feet through the leaves as you ride. It makes a cool sound.

Ya Gotta Have....Friends

Do you see the pattern in these pictures? Yup, lots of boys. Jacob and Mom went boating with some friends before it got to0 cold and found out the water was already cold. Jacob and his friend got pulled behind the boat in this cool raft. They went really fast and yelled "faster" most of the time they were out there. They also learned that yes, lifevests really work when you get dumped. Mom thought she was safe in the boat til a big wave came over the front right where she was sitting, WOW!
Jacob celebrated his birthday playing flag football with six other friends. Blake played QB and launched many touchdown passes. They also played night games - they opted for TEAM bloody murder (because of the so thought scary dog next door). They also hunted for the traditional hidden goodie bags over in the park. It fun to see the flashlights going everywhere in the dark and the yelling when they found theirs. They slept well, but I think Mom and Dad beat them to it.

City High Parade

It was time again for the City High parade. It's always fun, but a little different this year. See all the empty spaces? We miss all of you who have moved and couldn't come this year, but we did get lots of candy! Ask Paige about being included in the picture....we needed bodies! It was fun for us though because it's Blake's graduating class so we know some of the queen and king canidates. Oh yeah... Austin is incognito.

Piped Piper...

Bring a ball and they will come. It's just something about a ball, a park, and your dad. It's like a magnet, others will find you and that's part of the fun, just being a kid.
