Brody's First Scrimmage - Eastside Jamboree

Brody had his first stab at "real" football this morning.  He did great running his routes and blocking.  He even had one little dude face mask him. He practiced playing safety and left guard, but played a little linebacker for the first time today, too.

The Incident: "Oh, no you don't!"

My heart

Brody enjoyed his Gatorade!  :)

Jersey Day

The team got their jerseys after practice today.  It was very exciting!

Day One of School - Check!

Last Day of Summer

So today was our last weekday before school starts. We cleaned the house to welcome Stephen back home, but then we packed a picnic and our bikes and headed for the Swamp Rabbit Trail. For the first time. EVER.

Fun was had by all. We drove home to enjoy coke floats, then drove to the doggie park after. Also a first time event. Carrie enjoyed her visit.

For family night we enjoyed having Stephen back! Dinner was good food with  delightful weather at the Runway Cafe, followed by worth-the-calories ice cream at Dillard's.

 

Yellow Jacket Invasion

Yellow jackets decided to build a nest in the wall of our sunroom. The nest went from the California Gold Rush to 2014 on our history timeline. Stinkers! 

We are so very thankful for Carson Speer Builders.

 

Last Minute Lake Day with Friends

Tattoos

Brody asked if he could "do this" (holding up his Spiderman tatoos from Easter). I gave him permission once he'd finished breakfast and cleaned his room. Both his arms are covered in tats from the elbows down.
