Andrea Kay... as she like to be called now... is having fun cheering! It is great to see her having such a fun time!
She is a beautiful girl! But as you can tell does'nt always like me snapping her picture!

Andrea has been wanting her hair colored....with really dark almost black underneath, so I finally gave in, and bought the stuff. It looks soooo cute!! I think next time I won't be so hesitant to let her try something fun!

She is such a beautiful girl. I love looking at those teeth!! 

Friday was REALLY cold and it went into the 4th quarter before points we put on the board... to bad they weren't for us... 

Final was 6 -0  Oakland's first lost.

Josh had another great defensive game.. and had his name put in the paper for it!!! He has had his name in the paper each conference game.!! It is so cool to see that . 

He also  had some great punts!

I love watching him play!

Colton is having a great time running the ball for the HIgh School team! He is jumping to catch the ball from the ref. after delivering a nice dry one for the QB

Yesterday was my 41st birthday, I can't believe that I actually just put my age on the net...
It was really just like any other day. I got "Happy Birthday's" and " I love you's" from all 5 kids in the morning. My friend Paulette sent me 3 great e-card, they were soo funny!
Colton had an away football game, so Mikayla and I traveled to that. Andrea and Nathan both made me cards. They were so thoughtful, and the things that they said were better than any gift that I could ever have gotten.
Rex and Brayden are in Seattle working, so nothing from the two of them. I was a little disappointed, but did get to chat a little with Rex before bed.
He is well up there and said that they got alot done yesterday. Looks like he may have to stay through the weekend, because the had Monday off because of rain.
I was thinking that having him away would get easier, I guess we haven't been at it long enough for that to happen yet. I'm trying to remember to do things that I usually don't do, and take care of all of the things Rex usually does... you know that man things, like the garbage,pigs and car stuff. I'm not great at it, but I'm learning real fast.
The sun is out today.. I love that. And some people here are taking me and another guy to lunch for our birthdays. It should be fun!

Oct. 3rd was another great Friday Night Football game in Oakland! In the top picture Josh is throwing a great block so the ball carrier can sweep around the end. And in the bottem one..... look at that!!! He has the ball and the ref is signaling "TOUCHDOWN" Josh caught a pass in the end zone! I was pretty mad cuz I was right there, and my flash didn't go off. Wouldn't you, I can get great shots of everyone else's kids but not of my own.. Well at least you can see it alittle!!!
It was great to see!
This week will be a tough game.. we are traveling north... GO OAKERS!!!

I'm loving Friday Night Football! I am the "official" photographer for the football team, it's a long story, the short version is, after I put together a very awesome slide-show ( if I do say so myself) last year, the coach just said... your going to do that again right? So Now I get to stand on the sidelines with the boys again this year and be official! I love being able to capture those memories, not only for our family, but also for others. It is so cool to see that touchdown pass again! Last week I got Josh catching his first interception pass!!! It was exciting, to load the pics in the computer and look for it!
This week should be a good game, and hopefully the Varisity will play well and the JV boys, which includes Nathan, will get some time in the game! It is supose to Rain, Rain, Rain, so that should make things fun. I guess I'll break out the bread bags to cover my camera, I have yet to get the real camera rain gear!
Andrea is really doing well with cheerleading, and having such a great time. She is such an amazing you lady. It is strange to think that she is 17.... and then Josh turning 18... just seem like yesterday I was bringing them both home.
Colton had a great game on Tuesday. I didn't go, it was about 45 minutes away, and with Rex gone, I needed to be at home with the other kids. He caught his second interception pass this season, he was pretty excited! He is all about football these days, between his practice and games, beign the ball/water boy for the High School team. He is on cloud 9!!!
Watching my kids do things they love brings me SO much JOY!
