Football Season Has Begun!

MEET THE LIONSWe went out to officially Meet the Lions last week. Will had the best seat ~ right in Tristyn's lap!
Thomas thought the giant football helmet was cool. It looks tiny in this picture, but it is huge in real life!
Thomas had a pretty good view from dad's lap, too!
This is about as close to the Lion as Will wanted to get. Which is about 50 feet closer than last year!

PEP RALLY
Look at the pep on those boy's faces! It is cute how they are sitting exactly alike, though.
Getting a closer look ~ Thomas, Will and Trine
We found Allie~ they decided to give me a goofy look instead of a real smile.
But with a little prompting they flashed their biggest smiles for the camera!
When the pep rally was over the boys climbed to the very top of the bleachers ~ Trine, Thomas, Cobe, and Cheese Monster (aka Will)And down the come! I bet they won't be as excited about doing bleachers when they get to athletics in a few years!

FIRST FOOTBALL GAME OF 2010
We traveled to watch the Lions win their first football game this season. A nice man let Will borrow his bell for the first half of the game. Notice Will is ringing the bell and Thomas is covering his ears. Can't say I blame him!
Thomas decided that since he didn't have a bell he would shake his water bottle. Thankfully it was MUCH quieter!
Woo Hoo ~ TOUCHDOWN LIONS!Somehow another nice man (now I'm being sarcastic!) found out the boys didn't have bells of their own so he gave each of them one! Thomas is thrilled ~ mom, not so much.........

Will pointing to the giver of the bells.

Faithbuilders Class Party 2010

Our Sunday school class had an end of summer cookout at the lake. Lots of swimming and playing and eating went on! Goodbye Summer 2010!!
Waiting patiently in line for dinner.......Yummy! What a spread ~ I caught Thomas in the Oreo cookie bag more than once. And yes, he seems to be wiping his nose. I apologize to anyone else who ate Oreos!Chewing carefully on his cookie ~ and if you look closely you'll see an Oreo mustache! Peyton wasn't far behind!The kiddie table ~ Will, Trine, Ella and Allie.Trine eating his hot dog and getting a drink.Ben Fitzgerald came by to give Will a few pointers on being silly ~ as if Will needs any help!
Uh-oh, Melissa getting on to Ben for being silly with the little ones. Don't worry ~ I rescued Ben and made sure his mom knew it wasn't all Ben's idea! Robert and Hayden stopped swimming long enough to grab some dinner.
Hayden was thirsty AND hungry!Zach and Emmerson enjoying the afternoon.Sam and Matt ~ solving the world's problems, I'm sure!
Eric and Gavin eating dinner.
Some of our kids crashed the neighbor's game of Twister. I'm not sure what kind of pose Logan is striking......... And if you look closely you'll notice a little troublemaker in green swim trunks trying to mess up the Twister game!Blaize and Connor chowing down.Emmerson found her mom and decided to have a drink.Melissa and Sean
Say what? Have you ever seen more attitude coming from a sweet little boy? I doubt it!
Regan caught Will and let him have it!
Looks like he's miserable!
Remember Thomas stealing the cookies? I think he's regretting his decision!
Love this picture. Jacie going one way, Audrey going another way, someone sprinting in the background, Brian helping himself to a beverage.
Caden and Connor ~ what handsome young men!Miss Ella loved all the extra attention.
Blaize ~ very serious for some reason......
Tim doing his best to convince Trine of something ~ no telling what!
Daddy and two tired boys!

Ruidoso 2010 ~ Driving Home

The boys really did great on the ride to and from Ruidoso. We didn't even have to take out the DVD player! They kept themselves busy with books, hand-held computer games and other items such as backpacks!Will decided to play peek-a-boo with his empty "pack pack".
Where did he go??I think I see him.........
"Here I am!!"
And of course Thomas couldn't be left out of the silliness!
He decided to settle down for a sweet smile instead!
