Last night we headed down to Joe's sisters house to watch our nephew Michael's Football Game! High School football is very exciting! Michael had a great game and made the final touchdown of the game on an awesome run just shoving everyone out of his way!! Good job Scooter! The boys were so excited to go down on the field after the game and see their cousin! The Wolves won and are undefeated this season!!

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY BOYS THOUGHT THIS WAS SO FUNNY....HMMM?!?!

JAKE'S 7th BIRTHDAY PARTY

We had a great time at the Pumpkin Patch! It's all fun and games 'til the Birthday Boy gets sick!! All the kids met at our house for Pizza then we headed off to the Pumpkin Patch to do the BIG Corn Maze! That was all Jake wanted to do for his birthday this year! So, with 12 of his classmates in tow as well as two 11 year old wing men we were off! With the help of our fearless leader Rob we made it thru the Maze in just under an hour! The kids did awesome in the maze and we lost no one! :-)) They couldn't have gotten lost anyways with Lost & Found stickers on their backs :-)))) The kids then got to go on a tractor ride, play on the hay maze, ride the big bikes and of course pick out a nice big pumpkin! Fun was had by all! Jake got lots of fun presents and LOVES everything! Now, for the sad part of the story...as soon as we got out of the Maze Jake said he wasn't feeling well. He's been feeling yucky all week so I really didn't think too much of it. (nice Mom, huh?!?!) Anyways, he made it thru the party then crawled into the car and could not even say goobye to his friends and thank them for coming. Then on our way home it happened...he threw up all over! So, he really was sick poor little buddy! He was up all night then after a few hours of sleep woke up with a fever. He's been resting all day and hopefully will feel better to go to school tomorrow! I feel really bad for my baby that he was sick on his party! He did have a great party though! Thanks to all his freinds who came and made it special!! And, thanks so much to Rob & Steph for helping us transport the kids to & from!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL!

Happy Birthday to our nephew Michael! We are thinking today might be his "Sweet 16"!! The kiddos (and us!) sure love their big cousin! He's a star Lacrosse & Football player and we can't wait to go see him in action at his football game this coming Friday! Hope you have a great birthday and we will see you soon!!

WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO BE DOING WITH YOUR TIME...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUNNAR!

Happy Birthday to my sweet nephew Gunnar! Okay, I'm losing my mind, but I think he's turning 8 today?!?! Maybe 9.... (Update, he's turning 9!!!)Anyways, hope you have a great birthday Gunnar! I know it will be extra special having Momo there to celebrate with you!! We love you & miss you bunches!!

GRANDMA SHIRLEY CAME TO VISIT!

Joe's mom came down this weekend to celebrate Jake's birthday and to watch Justin's Football game. We had a great visit and the kids were so happy to see her! We missed Pop though!

Grandma congratulating Justin on their win! Grandma and the boys in the Grass Maze at the Pumpkin Patch...

JAKE'S "ACTUAL" BIRTHDAY

Jake's day started out with a little party in his class celebrating his birthday and his classmate Abigail's birthday! Then off to the Pumpkin Patch on a field trip!
The kids all made shirts to wear on different occassions throughout the year and on field trips. Love this shot of the boys...

Jake & Lexi searched and searched and searched and searched for the perfect pumpkin!! Then off to Chevy's for a sombrero and ice cream! It was a good day and Jake can't wait for his party next weekend!

GAME #7 - RAMS 28 AMERICAN CANYON 0

Another GREAT game played by the Jr. Pee Wees! They are certainly getting in their groove! Looks like they are going to be playoff bound! Justin had a good game and had a great fumble recovery on a kickoff! It was also Homecoming where they actually crowned a King & Queen for each Division. The Homecoming skits were funny and the kids seemed to really enjoy it! They are actually even having a Homecoming Dance this week! And, last but not least, our buddy Trenton had an awesome game! He got to run the ball alot and scored his FIRST TOUCHDOWN!!! It was very exciting! Here's the man with his proud parents...Tom & Stacie! Good Job Trenton!!

UGH! UGH! UGH!

All I was trying to do was post a picture of my sone who is turning 7 and the next thing I know all my links and all the little extra things I had on my blog ARE GONE!! What the heck!?!?!?

So, bear with me...now I guess I have to put all this stuff back in my template...which god help me remember how to!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BOY JAKE!

Today my sweet Jake turns the BIG #7! So hard to believe he's a big 7 year old now and in First Grade! He gets to spend his birthday on a Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch and a little birthday celebration in his classroom with his school friends! Should be lots of fun! Next weekend he will have his party, so stay tuned! Hope your Birthday is a great one! We love you!!

GAME #6 - RAMS 26 NAPA 13

THE SCOREBOARD SAYS IT ALL!!!.... This was a big game...a must win for all :-)) Everyone had a great game! The boys are doing a great job as a team and getting better each week! Justin's hand off to Kristian... (I think he made a touchdown on this one?!?!)

HOUSE OF CARTERS

Okay, did anyone watch House of Carters on the E! Channel last night?? I think it was the season premiere??! What are your thoughts?? I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, feel sorry for them, or what!?!? So dysfunctional yet I couldn't turn it off! I just don't know what to think.....

Anyone??

FUN AT UNCLE POOH & MICHELE'S

We headed up to my Brother Lance's and his girlfriend Michele's for dinner for my Mom's birthday! And, what an awesome dinner it was! Thanks guys! Of ourse no trip to Uncle Pooh's would be complete without playing on one of his toys! And, most of you know I am not a fan of motorcycles, but I let my kiddos go for a slow ride down the street and back!

Justin err's on the side of caution like his Mommma!!
Jake's all about the full throttle....
And Joshy would rather be on four wheels... And can you smell the brotherly love?!?!?

GAME #5 - RAMS 13 CENTRAL MARIN 8

One step closer to Florida!! :-O) Wow what a game is all I can say! My poor son was having a very off day at QB but with a huge play by JoJo running some 100 odd yards (back and forth, up and down the field) for a TD sealed the game! It was a very exciting game that's for sure! That's Trenton blocking on the end #89. I swear I feel like I need a drink, or two, or three after the games! I definetly feel the pressure for my baby boy!! We are very proud of him, especially being his first year! You have to give his coaches credit for having so much faith in him being a first year player!!
