Homecoming

Today was Homecoming for the MJ Bears League.  It was a perfect day for it too!  The Bears played the Spring Hill Raiders and won again 26 - 0.  That makes our record 3 wins and 1 lose.  However, the teams are getting tougher as we go later in the season.  Beverly and Cecil came to watch Dalton today.  He loves it when people come to cheer him on!

Then it was over to the park for the Homecoming activities.  The head coaches were the ones in the dunking booth.  That was a huge hit with all the players, pay back for all those laps and leg lifts!  Dalton was sweet enough to ride this little ferris wheel with Sylvie.  She loved it and ended up riding it three times.

There is just something fundamentally wrong with putting your baby in a cage and sending them into the air.  But again, she loved it.

This is what Sylvie thought about waiting in line for the rides.  Ha!

Now this was more Dalton's speed!

This little girl has had all the fun she can handle.

Peyton spent the night with one of his buddies last night so he was not with us today :o(

Ugha!

This child is wearing me out!  When I stepped out of the shower she greeted me with a "made mess."  This is what I found.

Downstairs in the living room is an entire stack of Uno cards thrown everywhere.  She has the sweetest expressions on her face the entire time. 
I must go now.  I am listening to Alex munch on Trix cereal as I type this.

Laptop Troubles

I have ordered a new battery for my laptop.  I am updating from Chris' computer and can not edit any of my pictures which kills me. 
We are all having so much fun with Dalton's football games.  This week we had to go to Gallatin for his game.  It was such a pretty day for it.  The team had to be there an hour before the game for weigh in and then the game on the field before Dalton went into triple over time.  So...we had a lot of time to kill before his game actually started.  Chris stayed with Dalton and the team while Peyton, Sylvie and I went and explored the park.  It was a huge park that we had never been to before and it had wonderful walking trails. 

Then is was time for some football!  We played the Gallatin Green Wave. We won 18 to 0.  The one time they broke away and were so close to scoring Dalton was the only one fast enough to catch him and stop him.  It was AWESOME! 

I am so proud of this handsome little guy!

He was starving after the game so we let him pick any drive thru he wanted (Sylvie was just way too tired for a restaurant).  He picked Krystal.  Really....

This is Sparkles.  You may have seen him on here before. I guess he is our outdoor kitty.  He showed up last winter and we have been feeding him ever since.  I still have not been able to touch him but he will talk to me.  Sweet little guy. 

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!

So You Think You Can Dance

Sylvie dancing to the Fresh Beat Band. She has some serious moves.

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!
