Randoms

My wild bunch.

Backyard time with her Daddy.

Stealing cookies.

Her puppy was hungry too :o)

Peyton is really liking middle school.  His quote this week, "I kinda like school now."  Unfortunately it is the social part he is liking not the academic.

Today was Dalton's first regular season game.  It was a nail biter but the Bears pulled it off with a 12 - 8 win.  Dalton made a critical tackle that allowed us to score late in the 4th quarter.  My throat is sore from yelling so much.  Go Bears!!
That is Dalton in the far back of the field.  Not sure what position that is called.

Dryer, Potty and Football

Guess what broke at my house??  :o(  I had a full load in the washer so I just hung it out on the back deck. Luckily nobody can see it back there.

I finally picked Sylvie up a potty so we can get this potty training into full swing!  She is so funny.  She took her skirt and diaper off and wanted to take it with her everywhere in the house.  Here she is sitting on the coffee table in front of the tv.  We are working on keeping it in the bathroom.

The most exciting thing is today was Dalton's first scrimmage!  It was so much stinking' fun.  Dalton was getting a little bored with the last 3 weeks of practice but today after the game he is excited and already talking about next season.  He had a fantastic game.  They tied 6-6 but Dalton got to play almost the entire game, both offense and defense.  This is them warming up before their game started.  

It was pretty easy to keep Sylvie entertained with popcorn and a coke.  We were actually able to watch the game.  

It was so humid today though.  Peyton and Chris right before the game.  

Dalton is in the front line, far right, closest to the camera, gold jersey.  He is matched up against the kid in blue with red socks on.  That kid did NOT get past Dalton.  

End of game.  

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Back to School and 11

The boys started school on Monday.  Dalton still has practice 5 nights a week.  Peyton turned 11 years old on Tuesday.  We are a very busy family right now.  My first day of school pictures are not very good.

Dalton on the first day of 4th grade.

Peyton on the 1st day of 6th grade, a middle schooler!  We are disagreeing on his wardrobe.  He wants to dress like he is going to gym class everyday.

Peyton was not pleased that his birthday fell on a school day.  He thinks he should get to play all day.  I had cupcakes and ice cream when he got home from school on Tuesday for him and all of his friends.

Today after picking Dalton up at school we went to McDonald's for ice cream.  Sylvie of coarse loved hers!

Which lead to "rinsing off" in the backyard.

One day just being a cutie saying "cheese."

It is so hot.  How hot is it?  It is so hot that they actually cancelled football practice tonight.  That is major.  Stay cool!
