Kyle meets the pavement

10-4-08
Kyle and Alec were outside playing football with their neighborhood friends. To make a long story short Kyle zigged when he should have zagged and he ran into Alec. Alec is like hitting a brick wall...which Kyle did and landed on his face. He blacked out. So before we made the trip to the hospital he had me take a picture. Believe it or not, this looks good. After he got back and he was cleaned up, his face was much more swollen and looked even worse! Thankfully he is on his way to recovery. The doctor said with the antibiotics and neosporin it shouldn't scar. I really hope not! He has such a pretty face!!!

Disney on Ice

10-2-08
Disney on Ice was in Tampa again:) Our friends Drew and Kristine got tickets for a good price so a group of us went. The seats were ok, the show was ok, but the company of course was great:) Jim and I thought the individual shows were a little long and sometimes boring, but I think Brooke and Brianna and the other kids had a great time seeing some of their favorite Disney characters. Now we are ready for our Disney trip with the Freeds next week:)

Happy Birthday Papa Dick!!!

Papa Dick is another year younger:) To celebrate we took him out to dinner and had a great time! After dinner we all took a picture with the honoree:) Happy Birthday Papa Dick! We love you!

Our future Buccaneer

Yes, Alec is the next big football star:) Well, at least as his parents that's what we think! He is playing first string offensive line and defensive line. Playing first string didn't come easy to Alec. Since this was Alec's first year playing the coaches did NOT play him first string for the first few games. At the games he stood and watched, he went to every practice and even though it really bothered him, he didn't give up. One night after the game, they played what they call the "fifth quarter". This is for those who didn't play in the game. Alec was in and the coach saw what he could do. Coach pulled him aside and told him he did a great job and he would be playing first string from now on:) I can't tell you how happy we all were...especially Alec:) Since then he has continued to prove he is a great football player...something we already knew:)

These are a few from one of his first games. I'm sure I'll be posting more as the year goes by.
We are VERY proud of you Alec (no. 51)!!
Alec's personal cheerleaders:)

Four for four days

9/18-9/21

Our friends Kerri and Bart wanted to go to the Georgia-Arizonia State game in Arizona. So when they asked us to watch their kids, Caidee and Caleb, of course we said YES! As most of you know, Caidee and Caleb are twins and they are only a few hours younger then Brooke and Brianna. In the few years we have known Kerri and Bart we have made alot of long lasting memories and built a wonderful friendship. We love their kids and we had such a great time having four 3 yo's around! I took alot of pics so I made a little video instead of posting a bunch of pics:)
Kerri and Bart..I hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed having Caidee and Caleb here:)
