Are you Ready for some FOOTBALL???

WE SURE ARE!!!

Chris is playing for the school this year, which means it is his first year w/o his dad on the sideline (as a coach).  Of course, we are both there supporting him but no one is rooting for him
within the "team." 

Chris has had to fight for his own spot on the team.  He initially just hoped to be on Varsity,
but came to realize that he might enjoy being a quarterback. 

Eventually, teams were decided and Chris was place on JV 1 as the HEAD QUARTERBACK!
(Chad and I were nervous!) 

However, we were really excited to see him excel on his own.  He has done all of this through his own hardwork and desire to be the leader of the team. 

Way to Go Chris! 
We love watching you and enjoy sharing in the memories with you. 



Tonight was the first game of the season.

Logan Fontinelle Warriors VS Lewis and Clark Scouts

Chris is # 12.


Completing the handoff


Making a run for it!

Love the Action Shot!



Scoring a TOUCHDOWN!!!

Picking up a fumble and heading toward the endzone again!



Needless to say, It was a good game. 
They worked well as a team!
Chris made 3 out of 4 pass completions, and got a touchdown. 
There were a few errors along the way but I am sure they will work on that!

Great Job Chris!
We are so proud of you!

Football, Airshow, Anniversary, Septemberfest

 

Last Friday night we went to the Bellevue EAST vs. WEST football game.  It's always an enjoyable time spent with friends and seeing the familiar faces from around town.  This year, both big kids were old enough to branch out on their own. 

Shawn brought Chandler - his friend for the last 5 years who recently moved away from the neighborhood
Chris brought Sean - bff's since they were 4.

The next morning, we got up and went to the Offutt Air Show. 

 
 Isaac and Shawn got to sit inside one of the planes.

Isaac loved all the planes. 
Chris went and did his own thing... so there are no pictures of him!

Isaac and Shawn were able to crawl up onto a helicopter - It was an apache copter. 


Dad took Isaac and Shawn up into one of the very first planes he crew chiefed when he joined the Air Force. 


Daddy took Isaac on the pedal planes. 


Then... Guess who came?

MALACHI AND Z


Can I tell you how hard it is to get a good pic?
I love that they are all smiling tho!



On Friday night, Chad and I celebrated 5 years of marriage by..... duh duu duu duhh.... Going on a date!!! 

We hadn't done it in over 2 years.  It was great to go to dinner and actually converse!  Chad and I had a great hour long dinner and we are so thankful to have friends who are family to take care of our kids while we spent the time together. 

 Last night, we went out to Septemberfest. 

Shawn was insistant on the fact that he could win this rigged game. 

We all got a good laugh at watching him try!




 Weird - Random Airshow pic in the middle of the next set of pictures....






We've been busy as you can see.... but enjoying life and the memories along the way. 

Can't believe how big all the boys are getting.... gotta enjoy them while they last!

Arrows to Aerospace Parade

Last Saturday, the boys and I went to the Arrows to Aerospace Parade. 

We had so much fun and I guess it hadn't dawned on me that the big boys had never been to a parade
with Isaac. 

They thought it was hilarious how excited he got for the firetrucks, the floats, the semi trucks.....
and the marching bands (with INSTRUMENTS!

One of my favorite pics... oldest and youngest holding hands

Waving to the fireman


Got a fire hat!

Shawn got to pet one of the birds.

All three boys watching the floats go by


Topping off the morning with a Freezie Pop

Everyone come join the band....

Isaac wants to be in a band soooooo bad!

He loves the Bubble Guppies shows about bands and instruments. 
He plays his saxophone kazoo with Chris when he plays his sax.

This day....
He got his marching band hat on.

 Darn strap wouldn't stay up on his chin though!
There.... That's better!

What a goofy big brother!
He wants to be in the marching band too!

Brothers
Bands
Bonding

They missed each other
A LOT!
