A day at the beach.....

Big Man Jacob

Getting ready to throw to Keenan.

Well, Jacob's team is doing very well this year. They are undefeated and have not been scored on yet. I can't help but be proud of all my boys- sometimes I feel like I am bragging about how well they do. I try to not talk about it - but sometimes I just have to!! Not that they have to be good athletes to get my approval because we all know what is more important -that they grow up to be polite, hard working and all around good men!! But I still can't help but brag and be proud of them!!

"ZACH ATTACK"

Zachary has by far been the most improved player this season. He started out being quite timid and not wanting to get hurt blocking or getting tackled to running the ball up the middle, doing spin moves and juking players and scoring his first touchdown!!! He is amazing how confident he has become! I still get quite nervous when he has the ball- he is so little- one of the littlest on the team! He has blocked some kids that are a full head taller and he gets leveled but he jumps back up and starts blocking again! He sure loves it! Hopefully I will have some pics of him making his touchdown soon- since I didn't bring my camera to that game, of course!

Eli- aka: The Big E

He tackled this poor boy in the backfield! It was great!!

We are having so much fun watching "E" play football. He thinks - "I can finally tackle someone and not get into trouble"!! He is pretty aggressive playing defense and he is running the ball quite well! He actually ran the ball at his last game for about 35 yards and almost got a touchdown! He was funny- the first thing he told Coach Collins was that he made two first downs! Coach Troy says he will make a touchdown before the end of the season- so stay tuned!!

Go Montague Wildcats!!

Well, it's football season and we are living, breathing and watching lots and lots of football!! It is Jacob's fifth year playing and Eli and Zachary's first year. They all love it!! It is so much fun to watch!!

The big young fiver!!!!

I just had to post some pics of my baby starting at the "big school"! How he so enjoys school so far! He thinks he's quite the man! Time is going by so fast!! I know I always heard that once they are in school time will fly by faster than ever! I believe it more every day! I am really trying to slow down and enjoy them! Some days are better than others!!

School is in session!

My big 5th grader!!
First grader!!!
Third grader!!


I had mixed emotions while watching my boys go off to school! It's really neat because this will be the only year that all four are in the same school. They seem to all really enjoy it! They get up and are really excited about going- we shall see if that lasts! Aidan wants to ride the bus in the morning and also wants to go to school all day! I am really enjoying spending the one on one time with him in the morning! I still can't believe I have a fifth grader! Feeling a little old!r

Summertime!!

 

 

 

Camping Summer 2008

Family Night at Lambeau

Here are the kids looking out the window of Kevin's cousin's hotel room across from Lambeau field.
Here we are in front of the stadium. Notice that we are missing one. Zachary went back to Kelli's house because it was storming. He missed everything. But he did have more fun with Grandma and Grandpa playing games and watching the scrimmage on TV.
Mom and her boys!
Eli and Aidan doing the wave. They loved it!!
At the end of the scrimmage they shot off fireworks from the top of the stadium. It was awesome! Notice how Aidan has his ticket in his right hand. He didn't let go of that ticket through the whole scrimmage and fireworks. He wouldn't even let Kevin's niece Shari look at it after the game. He slept with it. All the way home he held on to it. All 10 hours in the car he held on to it. Kevin held it for him while he went to the bathroom but otherwise he had it. He finally fell asleep and must have dropped it- when I found it- it was not in the best of shape! At one point on our way home I looked back at him and he had his headphones on and in one hand was the ticket and in the other was a pancake from McDonalds. He was asleep with his mouth wide open. It would have been a great picture but my camera was in the trunk!! The kids had a blast! Even though, Aidan was upset that Brett Favre was not there. He kept asking me where he was. I had to explain to him that Brett Favre might not play for Green Bay again. He told me he has to play for them because he only has a Green Bay jersey and helmet. If he doesn't play for Green Bay he will be surely missed by his number one fan- that is for sure!!!

9-10 Year Old All-Stars

First of all, I really don't have a lot of pictures of Jacob playing because I went to all of Zachary's games and most of the time they were on the same day. This was the Championship game that they lost. They did well! They ended up Runners Up in the District!
Playing one of his favorite positions-- first base. His "very favorite" is pitching.
Here they are watching Roosevelt Park get their Championship award. The look of disappointment!
They played a hard fought game! They should be very proud! They did AWESOME!! Congratulations White Lake!!

8-9 Yr. Old All-Stars

Zachary had a great time playing baseball. They did very well. They ended up Runners Up for the County tournament.
Now that's a face of determination!!!
This was after they beat Oakridge 10-0. Coach Todd told him that he made the play of the game. He threw a runner out at home from left field. I didn't realize it was him that threw it! It kept them from scoring!
This was the championship game and they were losing. His face says it all!
Good Job White Lake!!!
