Superbowl - 2009

Just a reminder that I started this blog to record our family's lives in words and pictures :)

Joey started playing tackle football in 3rd grade (2006) and Dean has coached since that first game as well. Here is a picture of them after the 3rd grade superbowl and they were 2-6 for the season.


Their team continued to work hard for the next three years and finished their 4th grade year at 3-5 and 5th grade at 7-1 and 6th grade (and final year of youth football) with an 8-0 season!!! Below is a picture of Dean and Joey after their last game........so much fun!!

Here is a picture of Joey and Cole after their 3rd grade superbowl..............

Here is a picture of Joey and Cole after their final 6th grade game. I can't believe how much they've grown....from little boys to young men **sniff - sniff**

After 4 years of working for it, they did it and you can just see the emotion.......

Here are all of their coaches who did an outstanding job with the boys!!!!

For the final game, the cheerleaders wore jerseys and here is Katie (#16)...second from the right.

Of course, I have to show Jeffery being the best "football tee retriever" ever!!

I didn't really get many action shots of the last game - it didn't matter. The game was so much fun and it meant so much more than just winning one game. The boys worked so hard and deserved the win in so many ways!! They will remember this season for the rest of their lives!

I've decided to break the last 2 months into events so I'll continue tomorrow with Thanksgiving (probably) :)

Have a Faith filled day!

Cheers~

HAPPY NEW YEAR - 2010!!!!

One of my New Year's resolutions is to keep my blog updated. There - I said it.......now I have to do it!! I have a lot of pictures to get on here from the last 2 months and since the kids have a snow day tomorrow (their first day back from Christmas break)....I plan on starting then.

Yes, I'm going to start at the end of October when things got crazy and I got behind. Above is a picture of Joey coming off the field after winning their last Superbowl in youth football and remaining undefeated for the season - so proud of those boys!!!

I'll try to get caught up tomorrow so I can move forward!!

Here's to a great 2010 **clink**.

Congrats Joey!!

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR HONOR ROLL ACHIEVEMENT, JOSEPH!

WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU AND WE LOVE YOU!!

Joseph wouldn't let me take his picture in the auditorium in front of his friends so I had to take him to the lobby :) I don't get it as he will still give me a hug and kiss in front of his friends.....hmmmmmmm.

Each of these honor roll assemblies take about 15 minutes and it's very easy to think it's not worth going for 15 minutes and the kids probably won't know you're there anyway. Let me tell you........as soon as the kids come into the auditorium, they are scanning for their parents. Dean and I are very thankful that we are able to attend honor roll assemblies, programs, parties, etc. There are many parents who simply can not leave work and we know how blessed we are that one or both of us can usually be there.

Life is good :)

Cheers~
