Are You Ready For Some Football?!?

Brock had his first ball game of the season today and I was able to capture a few pictures of him in action. They won against the Elida Thunder with a score of 26 - 0! They really played a great game. Brock got to start the game and he played most of the time! Now, I have to tell you that Brock didn't see a lot of playing time last season as a fourth grader. As a mom, it was so much more FUN to watch the game when your son is actually playing!! I really enjoyed it! Brock even got a tackle! (Now, please don't think I am bragging...I realize that he didn't make any of the big plays of the game, but to me, he was fantastic...I was just so proud of him today!) I can't wait to see how he grows throughout the season. Enjoy the pictures...there are even some of a really cute assistant coach that I know, and at the bottom, I was able to capture some great shots of this really cute watergirl that they had! Thanks to Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Jack, Grandma Darlene and Grandpa Howard, and Uncle Dick for coming out to cheer Brock on...he is one lucky kid to have so many people loving and supporting him!! By the way...he is #15!

Day With The Dragons

Deb and Mike were nice enough to give us some tickets they had to go to the Dayton Dragon's baseball game. We had such a good time at the game! The weather was perfect, the home team played great and we enjoyed one another's company during the evening. It was a blast...there was lots of entertainment and tons of great food! Thanks again, Deb and Mike, for being so generous! The pictures below were taken right in front of the stadium. We laughed so hard because the kids really wanted to sit on these baseballs for a picture, but everytime they got on...they slid right off! Chuck had to hold them in place and then quick jump out of the way when I snapped the picture! Too funny!!

The front of the Fifth - Third Stadium. It is a beautiful stadium!

This was the view from our seats. They were awesome seats!

One of the mascots...Heater the Dragon. Very entertaining!!!

What a great day with the kids...we loved it!!

First Day of School 2009

Today was Brock and Kenzie's first day of school, so we had to take the traditional photos. Luckily for me, they are really good sports about it! Brock started fifth grade today and Kenzie started second. I just love these guys so much and am so proud of them! I know it's going to be a great year! As you will see, it was still a little dark when they got on the bus, but we worked with it!!
