The happenings lately

I feel like we are in the stage of life where we are on the go constantly.  I long for a day we can all sit home with nothing to do.  Not happening.  Between finishing the basement--still not done, but soon--, kids & sports, work, church stuff, etc.  we never have a minute to just be.  I know one day I will miss it.  I will miss this craziness right?  

The most wonderful time of the year has begun.  

Football baby!!!

My Dax gets to play this year. He's so little but he's not scared. Nobody would coach the 7 year old team so Nate got wrangled into doing it.  No one gave these boys the slightest chance of scoring a touchdown let alone winning a game. Well Nate for the win!  Dax's little 7 year old team won their  very first game.  Whoop, whoop.

 

^^Is he not one of the cutest kids you've ever seen?!!?^^

The hot pink shoelaces were an excellent choice.  It makes it much easier for this mom to know where he is on the field.

Dilon's team lost a heart breaker for their first game of the season.  They were down 35-36 against a tough team, had the chance to win at the end but couldn't get it in.  That's the kind of stuff that can destroy a 13 year old's world.  He got over it so all is well.

 ^^He's the little one on the end. 

My older boys think they can keep growing up on me.  We've had our back to school nights this week.  Grif only had a minor meltdown while trying to open his locker.  He got it though, he's a rock star. And the kid signed me up for the ptsa before I really knew what was happening.  I'm not the ptsa type.  I don't even know what it means so wish me luck.

^^again, dilon's the little one in the pic.  Poor kid, he'll hit a growth spurt eventually.

We did a little shoe shopping and I discovered I fit into Dilon and Grif's shoes.  Score for me.  I mean  I would never actually wear them after their sweaty, smelly, boy feet have been in them but it's nice to know I have options.

No meetings for me this Sunday (just Dilon, hence the reason we are all still in pj's and he's in Sunday best.) so in honor of the Olympics we had a family "friendly" balloon volleyball tournament.  

Nate cheats!

Life is crazy but it's good.
