FOOTBALL!!!!

So, Adrien is playing football!!!  I know, some people think we are totally crazy for letting our 6 year old play tackle football....  But they don't know Adrien!!!

Practice started the frist week of August.  Then they had their draft pick.  Adrien was picked for the RAMS!!!!  WooHoo!!  He was super excited.  Then we started practicing with the RAMS!!!!  For the first two weeks practices were 4 days a week for 2 hours.  WHEW!!!  This is not for the weak at heart!! This is some intense stuff.  The first 10 hours are all conditioning.... then they get into the good stuff!!!!  And Adrien has just LOVED it.  He is only one of two 6 year olds on his team.  He only plays defense, on the line.  He doesnt get tackled, his job is to tackle.  Over the past several weeks, he has really been picking it up!!  He has been doing great!!!  Now we practice 3 nights a week (T, TH, F) and have games every Saturday.  We have had some home games and some traveling games.  This weekend we travel to Prescott Valley. It'll just be me Adrien and Kendall.  David and Samone are going to her tournament in Phx!!!  We are now having to split up with everyone's schedules!!!  It does get a little crazy, but we love it!!!

GO RAMS!!!

Fall is Here!!!

Adrien didn't have practice this Friday.... very unusual!!!  So we decided to do something as a family.  The kids all voted for swimming, since it's been so hot this past week!!!  Well, about noonish, clouds started rolling in, thunder lightening and then the rain!!  It poured!!!  It was cold and wet and gray outside.  So it was perfect movie weather.  We all cozied up in the living room and watched RIO.  I got our fall decorations out and we decorated the house.  After dinner we hopped in the car and headed to Yogurt U, and new self-serve yogurt shoppe in town!!!  Yum Yum!!!  We got home and played some Wii bowling before sending everyone off to bed!!!

Then we all actually got to sleep in on Saturday!!!  Samone made everyone pancakes for breakfast!!!  We got ready and headed off to Samone's soccer game!!  The game was stressful, as always!!! But Samone ROCKED IT, as always!!!  We ended up tieing the game 1-1.  After the game, our little family headed downtown the Oktobefest!!!  It was fun, we stayed for about an hour.  We got the kids a pizza and brought them home.  We left them at home and headed down the street to Jotini's to meet Mike and Tami!!!

After awhile, we decided to drop Lauren off at our house with the kids and we all headed to the Muesum Club.  We actually ended up at the bowling alley and bowled two games!!!  It was so much fun!!!  Sunday was cold and rainy all day long.  Kendall's soccer game got cancelled, so we just hung out at home all day Sunday getting stuff done around the house and watched football!!!!  Fall is here!!! I love it!!!!
