Bubba's Hat

Babe found Buddy's hat in this room and decided he was going to wear it all day.

He wore it for a really long time.

Now he's curious about the camera.

How cute it he? Are you kidding M.E.?

Time to move on.

The Man's Birthday!!!

Yesterday, we celebrated the Man's birthday by getting up early and heading to LG's soccer game.



Buddy and I cheering him on. Photo courtesy of Brandi. I remembered my camera but not the memory card. Ugh.
Then Brandi and I went to a craft fair, then LG had a bowling party to attend, which was lots of fun.
Back home we got ready to go to the show...
The Fleet Foxes that is!!!
Buddy was planning on celebrating at the show with us, but got a last minute invite to the TU vs OSU game. Of course he chose college football, but unfortunately a huge line of storms rolled thru and the game was delayed until 1AM. Yep, 1 o'clock in the morning. Needless to say Buddy and his friend went home well before the kickoff but they had lots of fun at the field.
Meanwhile...


The show was so amazing I loved, loved every minute. I think the Man did too!!!


Happy Birthday Hun, I love you!

Brandi's here!!!

My BFF from my graduate school days is in town for the weekend and we have so much fun catching up.



You know you have a true friend when having not seen each in person in 6 years, we picked up like we saw each other yesterday.

It's been fantastic!

More Soccer Photos

Here's some pics I took with the big camera.  LG really had a good time, although I think he lost interest about half way through and picked his nose.  A Lot!

He's really concentrating here.

Half Time!

He had just thrown the ball back in and was cheering for his friends!

He and this other player would be on the ground many times throughout the game.

As he was running toward M.E. I didn't have time to zoom out, but I still like this photo.

Happy Monday!

Reflecting

Just wanted to share a few thoughts about this past week - which was one of the best weeks every.
Last week the Man was in town at his office so the morning routine was back to normal and it was nice having him home every afternoon.
Last week the boys had not one after school activity or evening function which made for slow paced evenings.
Last week Buddy read aloud for his reading homework an entire Magic Tree House Book.  Loved hearing him read.
Last week LG got three out of four stickers for the weekly report.  A first for him.
Last week the weather was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
Last week, LG's teacher had to bury her 5 month old son, the Man went to the funeral and it made us all stop and be extra grateful for one another.
Last week,  I scrapbooked and made art.
And perhaps one of the biggest things that made the week the best; the 'clicker' aka the cable remote control broke and all tv channels had to be scrolled through manually at the cable box.  This basically equaled NO T.V. and it was so refreshing.
And today we all remember all those children who lost their parents in 9-11 and all those parents who lost their children in 9-11.

NFL Fever

well, the fever is in full swing at our house with tonight being the opening night for the NFL regular season 2011.  The Man announced last night, that he had yet another Fantasy Football Draft - number 5. Yes, #5.  He has the the WA league, the family league, the KY league, the local league and now finally a work league.  But its this latter, the work league that he has decided to let Buddy manage.  And to say that Buddy was on cloud 9 about this would be an understatement.  He has wanted his own fantasy team for some time now and he was so excited to stay up late and do his draft. He asked every few minutes if it was time and wound up doing extra homework (reading aloud) to stay up late.

He amazed M.E. at his knowledge of players.  I had no idea he knew that many players, their teams and how good they were and they would make good picks.

LG even knew a few of the team names - especially the Seahawks from their icons.

 

On more than one occasion the player Buddy wanted was drafted before their turn and it made him mad.  It was pretty funny. He loved every second of picking his team and the Man couldn't be prouder.

I can already tell this is going to be a special season for him and one he remembers for a long time.

Pretty special moment right here!
