The Kiss

For Years I have given Carter a kiss before the start of each of his games. It's gone by unnoticed by most for about a decade now, however 2 weeks ago a parent noticed (he's a great friend of ours) and he was ready this week.... so he snapped a picture of us! That's when I learned that according to this picture I lift my leg like a silly little girl when I kiss my husband!!! :-) Oh well!!! I love the guy and I guess I'm still twitterpated by him.

Are you ready for some Football?!?!

Porter is in the middle of his 5th grade tackle football season and he's having a great year!!! This is the one and only daytime game and he was filling in for the center who was sick. He liked it, but I couldn't get great pictures, bummer!

We love going to his games because he's always smiling and having a good time. He LOVES to hit and is proud of his teammates when they make a big play too. Hopefully they make it to the playoffs and we can get some more daytime footage! :-)

Flag Football

Here is our little Hutcher with his Favorite fan Tessa!! She comes to most of his games to cheer him on!!! Love you Tessa!

Hutch has had a FANTASTIC season! He's not afraid to take a hit and he's gotten quite a few flags. :-) He LOVES football!! And that makes his daddy VERY happy. Last game Hutch got this kids flag and the kid punched him right in the head. Hutch just stood up and asked him, "Why did you punch me in the head?" I swear he feels absolutely NO PAIN!! He's so fun to watch and is always making us laugh.

Red Rock Relay

I did something a little crazy this weekend; I, along with 11 others as a team, ran just over 180 miles in about 30 hours. It was amazing! I already want to do it again!!! I'm totally addicted! We laughed, we cried, we ran, and we bonded. I had a lot of favorite parts, like achieving my own personal goal and watching others meet theirs as well, but my favorite was having my little family meet me there at the end. Porter missed his first football game just to cheer me on, not a lot of kids his age would be so willing to do that. I am grateful for my family, friends, and a body that puts up with what I put it through!

Cooper's 1st Day of Kindergarten!

Today was Cooper VERY first day of Kindergarten and he LOVED it!!!! He came home singing songs and couldn't wait to go back!! He's my baby, but I wasn't sad to see him go, I was so happy, because he was and because this year the 4 of us will all be at the same school!!! Super fun!!!

The New School Year has begun!!!

Porter and Hutch started 5th and 3rd grade!!! This will be the one and only year all 3 boys get to go to the same school; Cooper is anxiously awaiting his chance to go to Kindergarten!! They both seem to LOVE their new teachers and look forward to a great year!! I get to work at their school as a special ed. aid, so I will keep a watchful eye out for any great stories to post!!!

Summer Wrap Up.....

This was one of my favorite fishing/swimming trips to Lake Navaho!!! We went with our GREAT friends the Hamptons... the kids just had a blast... and the fish were happy too, because we didn't catch a single one of those! :-)

In a shocking turn of events a great deal of our summer was enjoyed in the great outdoors!!! Carter took up fishing.... therefore we all took up fishing!!! :-) The boys LOVED every minute of it!!! And Porter caught the biggest one of the summer! We also ventured away from the lakes and did some hiking.
