4-1-1

4-1-1 That's the tally for this young mans football season and finish of his flag football career. Next year there will be pads, helmet, and a very nervous mom in the stands praying my way through each game.

Is he cute or what? Son is saying "Mom, can't we tell them about how tough and mean I am instead of how cute I am?" Well a mom must brag from time to time.

The boys had an amazing year. They won 4- lost 1 and tied 1 game.

We interrupt this football game to take a pic of the cheerleadas, cheering for the WRONG TEAM!!!. They were more than obliged to pose for a pic. One preciousness who is her mother through and through organized the group picture, re arranged her squad and then settled in with the perfect smile. (I love you Tammy!!:-))

Little Miss playing duck duck goose. (Honestly it's hard to focus on the game at hand when there's all of this preciousness going on all around you)

This is coach T. and he rocks! He was so good at keeping the boys focused and teaching them that there will be boys that cheat and tough calls from time to time but if we all just say "Awww chicken nuggets" and move on, it's all good. Thanks coach T.

Sorry for the fuzziness but boy this guy is hard to shoot- he is on a mission.

More fuzziness.

This was pre-game at the Philbens. Some good lookin boys I tell ya!

Some more pre-game craziness at the Philbens.

All I can say about this pic is this is one great big sis!!

Homecoming and the papparazzi

This past week was homecoming for our schools. Hard to believe this year that there were two Philben girls attending the Homecoming dance.

I love this pic... they don't.... too bad... it's moms blog:-)

This is the lineup of the papparazzi taking pics for the night. There were also two Dads taking pictures from the other side of the living room.

Ciara, Michael, Justin, and Megan. They looked so cute!

Nick, Sky, Allison, and Lane... too grown up:(

Sky with her flowers from Nick.

The girls all got ready together. They had a great time. Ciara always fixes everyone elses hair and never has the favor returned. This year Meggie fixed it for Ciara. She loved it. Thanks Megan!

The girls waiting impatiently... I mean patiently.

We made the son come home from football festivities for a quick photo opp. He was so happy.

The girls had lots of fun.

The "back side".

This is how the day began.. nails being painted and funnel cakes from Jayden's football party. Yes he shared!

The boys downing their red bulls. They tell me it's a ritual to have a red bull on game day. As long is it's only on game day I say why not? Oh and see the traiter in the middle? Yes that is a Texas shirt on at a Husker party. We're working on him.. check back in a year or two.

After the homecoming parade, we were sitting around talking and someone knocked on the door. There stood five 6th grade girls who just happened to be walking by on their way to a friends house and thought they should stop by and say hi to Jayden. I'm not sure who's smiling more... the girls or the son. As soon as the girls showed up, here came our neighbor boy for the photo opp. Darn sun made the pic a little blurry. sorry...

Pappa and Grandma came to the parade to see the girls dance their pom routine.

Pretty sisters...

Ciara and her class float

Sky on her float.

This was the booster float that we were in charge of. We won and I can't take any of the credit as my dear friend Lori worked her hiney off on it.

Jayden and friends @ the parade

My niece Savannah handing out candy.

Jayden on his float.

The girls playing JV volleyball. Not very often to you have the chance to get both of them in the same shot. And to top off the weekend, we had a surprise visit from my cousin and his wife and new daughter. This is Brynlie and we are in love!!

Thanks for stopping by and God bless!

Father's Day Fishing Trip

Due to very unfortunate circumstances, my husbands work has been completely consuming him this past 2 months. He happend to have Fathers day off so when I asked him what he wanted to do this is what he chose. A boat, a lake, and a mentor and a mentee.

We fed our boys dinner and then on their way they went. This is my dad (who just had knee surgery 4 days prior) with a nice catch.
And the mentee with his pride and joy. I love his smile.

Not sure who enjoyed the day more. I do know memories were made and rest and relaxation were achieved.

There's something fishy going on

Two days before school was out, my son and a couple friends started going fishing as soon as school ended each day and it has yet to stop. "Mom I'm riding my bike to Skillman's pond.... Dad, would you take me fishing? Mom I'm going with such and such fishing." You get the picture. Here are a couple of bass caught from one of Jayden's and Lance's last outings.
They have started taking pictures so I don't comment on another likely fish story..

7 lb bass Lance caught.
