Football and the Rain!!!

As everyone knows you dont stop playing football unless it is lightening. Well atleast not in Tackle, on Monday it had been raining off and on all day long well at 5:15 Jacob and John's coach called and said they would be canceling practice because of the weather. So as I am getting Melvin ready hoping the same phone call would come it never did so Me and Melvin were off to Football Practice. When we get there it starts pouring down rain and I backed the van into a parking spot raised the hatch on the van and sat inside the back of the van and watched him practice. Melvin thought it was pretty cool that he was playing in the rain. As practice kept going the more and more he is covered in mud. Not just a little bit but pretty much from head to toe and there was no way he was getting in my car with those clothes on him. After practice I get him stripped down in the back of the van and we come home where Lee had him a bath waiting. I did not take my camera to the practice with me so I did not get the full affect of the mud but I did take some pics on his practice uniform before washing it yesterday. So here they are.....by the way his shirt is white and actually came clean after washing it, but its all muddy again now...

On another quick note John, Jacob and Alison turned 5 this past Sunday and I will post some more about the weekend later, I have to get some pics together for that post.

1st Day of School!!!

So this was the picture that Melvin wanted as his 1st day of 1st Grade photo. I told him to get still and smile and he bent down touched his knees and gave me a big ol' smile. He is off to 1st grade and is very excited about it. I will post some more this week after we know how it went. I hope everyone has a great week.

Its Football Time!!!

So here we are again and its Football Season Again!!!! We are super excited this year because not only is this Melvin's 3rd year it will be John & Jacobs 1st year. So since its Melvins 3rd year he is now in full contact tackle football, I cant believe it. So I thought I would post a pic of him in his Football get up atleast the practice gear. I dont have any pics of the boys because they are in flag and they practice in shorts and shirts also the coach keeps all of their helmets, so I will get pics once they start practicing. Also I could have put Alison in football but I was afraid she would have shown up all of the boys out there and I also wanted to get her away from all of the boy stuff, So my little princess starts dance on Wednesday. She is going to be in tap and ballet so I will post some pics of her after Wedneday. I hope everyone enjoys these few pictures. Also Melvin starts first grade tomorrow and I will post some pics of his first day of school. The little guys start school next Tuesday and will be going for two days a week this year. I hope everyone has a good week.

Playing in the MUD!!

So we have had lots of rain the past couple of days and the kids have been stuck in the house. So yesterday I got them dressed in some play clothes and sent the boys outside. Alison was inside playing with her friend Madyson. I was wanting to get a picture of all of the boys as messy as they were but they managed to get into a ant pile and I had to hose all of them off I took this pic with my phone to send to Lee. So this is Jacob having fun in the mud. I hope all of you enjoy this pic. I will post some more soon, school starts on Monday so I will have some of Melvin's first day of school. I will talk to everyone later.

New Pics

Here are some pics that my MIL took yesterday. We went to church and then went over to my In-Laws house for lunch. We were outside and she was taking pictures. I hope everyone enjoys the new pics.

This one is of Jacob and John, John is in the Blue and Jacob is in Red!!!
This is some of the kids silly faces. Jacob did not want his picture taken.
This is a really cute one of all three of them. You can hardly get all of them to smile in a picture together. Well atleast snapshots!!
This is Melvin swinging on the rope swing in the tree in the front yard. Is is acting silly, and its only 7 days till he starts 1st grade. I cannot wait for them to start school.
This is Jacob, he wanted his picture taken this time. when he wants it done he will co-operate. He was climbing on the sides of their swing.

I hope everyone enjoys the new pics. I will post more when I get them.

Memory Blog

Ok, lets play a game! My good friend Deanna is doing this on her blog so lets have some fun!! I visited a friends blog and she had this one hers and since I left a memory of her, I had to follow the instructions. 1. Add a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.It's actually pretty funny to see the responses.If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Melvin is Home!!!

Well for the past week we have been missing one of our Crew. Melvin went to Georgia and Florida with his Sha-Sha and Granddaddy!!!! Oh yea and uncle Brady. They went to Georgia to see Lee's Grandmother, they also got to see Lee's Granny which is actually Melvin's Great Great Grandmother. Then the little turkey got to go to Panama City Beach, Florida (our favorite vacation site) He ate at Pineapple Willy's and got to swim in the ocean at the Jetty. I am very glad he had a great time and was able to go on a little vacation before school starts. I will have to post some pictures but I will need to get them from his Sha-Sha first.

Also this past weekend we went to a Birthday Celebration for one of my best friends kids, its funny how God places people in your life. Me and Deanna met while the kids were in the hospital she had her quads on August 12 and I had mine on September 7. We met when we were scrubbing in to the NICU. She noticed that I had Triplets because of my wrist bands. And ever since then we have been the best of friends and so have the kids. She has Twin boys who turned 9 and the little guys who just turned 5. So me and the little ones went to Hawiian Falls Water Park and helps celebrate all 5 of their birthdays at the same time. That was quiet nice to get it over with at the same time. My guys loved the fact that they went to the water park, they went down the slides and just enjoyed being in the water. I will also have to post some pics of them later but I will have to get those from Deanna.

School will be starting soon, Melvin will be in 1st grade and the little guys are going to Mothers Day Out and except it will be for 2 days this year.

I will talk to everyone soon
