FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL

Okay, for all those who know me, know that I have 5 children. Well for the last four years we have been a football family as that is when Mike started playing on the youth league, and Keith followed the year after!

I love them playing this sport which they love and look forward to each year, however I do not love spending 4 evenings a week sitting in a lawn chair watching practice. Now don't get me wrong, I love watching them play I just can think of many other things that need to get done on those evenings. I feel like for the next 3 months I will get no house work done, and no rest! But the end result.....my boys smiling because they have done sooo well that season, or they made an awesome play, block or tackle! It is all worth it in the end!

This will be Mikes final year before he moves on to Jr. High Football. He is stoked because he gets his 4th trophy and his purple LYA helmet for completing all 4 years! I am very proud of him for sticking with it, working hard and practicing hard, and mostly for having fun through all the hard work! And to Keith for 3 years of hard work and having fun with it too!

Go LYA! Go Mike Go Keith!

Well this weekend was an absolute blast! I had a Lia Sophia party at my home and it turned out fairly well, I would have liked more people to have been there to enjoy the evening but all in all it was fun!

We had a very full weekend planned but the weather put a slight damper on things! But do not fret things worked out as they always do!

Saturdays plan was to take the kids to a family reunion and let them swim.....Well this did not work out at all as it rained ALL day long, however it gave us the opportunity to relax and spend the day hanging out at the house. So those plans got pushed back until Sunday afternoon which in turn was a great day to be out side and in a pool!

Sundays plan was for me to go to practice but that was canceled due to the director having an injury to his knee. So as you can see the plan for the weekend was busy but it turned out to be a very relaxing yet fun filled weekend!
