Football has started!!

Tyler getting ready to go in!

Tyler ready to HIT someone!!! I have been better about not closing my eyes when he does!

Jacob is the one with his hands on his knees! He really wanted to tackle but we kept telling him "NO!! Don't tackle anyone!!"

Ryan getting ready to go in the game

Ryan after his game! Man it was hot!!

Football has officially started!! For the boys and for NFL! We are excited for both! We have 3 games every Saturday! It's makes for a long day but we love it! I do have to admit it will be a little nicer once it cools down a bit! So, this last Saturday all 3 boys teams won!! It was a great way to start the season - On top of both Tyler's and Ryan's birthday parties! Tyler and his friends had a night time party, had a scavenger hunt, played night games and ate banana splits! Ryan and his friends went to the bowling alley for some bowling fun! We were so ready for it to be Sunday so we could relax!! Now we wait for Monday night to see how our favorite team, San Diego Chargers do!!

Scouts!!

Tyler with all the awards he earned while being a cub scout!

Ryan earning some awards and then moving on to Bears

Last night was a big night for 2 of my boys in Cub Scouts! Ryan finished up with Wolf and moved onto Bear! He is really excited about moving on and for the day camp in a few weeks! Tyler also moved on to Boy Scouts! He completed the requirements for The Arrow of Light and is now an official Boy Scout! He is really excited to get started! He got a fur with all the awards he earned while being a cub scout! It's already up on his wall in his room! I'm so proud of both of you boys!!

School Starts!

1st day of school! Tyler-5th grade, Ryan- 3rd grade, Jacob- 1st grade

Tyler was really excited that almost ALL his friends were in his class!

Ryan was so happy to get Mrs. Telford!

Jacob was so excited to just be at school all day and that gets to eat lunch there too!!

Ok, so I wasn't here for quite a few things during August, as many of you know!! But, Jeff was super good at taking pictures for me so we would have them (and he also sent them to my phone up in Alaska!) I didn't have my camera with me in Alaska (I was a little rushed to get out the door and one of them was left in my car up the mountain at girl's camp!!) But, my brother took some pictures of Alaska one day when we took a drive that was beautiful!!! I saw moose, mountain goats, bald eagles and lots of other wildlife. I will post some when I get them from him! But, one of the big things I missed (besides 2 of my 3 boys b-days!!) was the 1st day of school!! It was 2 hours EARLIER in Alaska than here so I made sure to set the alarm and got up really early to call my boys before they headed out for school. And, I called as soon as they got home to hear all about it! Jeff took some pics at back to school night the night before school started but only got one the next morning! Oh well, at least we got 1!! I have been getting tons of questions about my dad, he is doing good considering all that happened!! He is home in California and resting and taking it easy. Thank you to everyone who helped Jeff with the boys and texted me and were always checking up on things!! 3 weeks was a long time to be gone but now I'm home and back to normal! (whatever normal is!!)
