Our Family: FOOTBALL SEASON

FOOTBALL SEASON

We decided to sign the boys up for FLAG FOOTBALL this year! Nate's team is the DOLPHINS and he pretty much does his own thing out there! He really likes having his friends on his team and he loves his mouth guard. He also really likes to roll up the flags and he loves to do the huddle! Not sure if he really likes anything about ACTUAL football, but he is for sure having a good time!

Ben is playing for the RAVENS and he is opposite of Nate! He is all business. He is very aggressive and is super fast! He loves playing all the different positions and is really learning about the sport!

Ben's friend (and neighbor) Cole is on his team!

I had NO IDEA how intense flag football would be...but man people take this thing VERY serious! The boys are having fun and of course, so is Benson! :)

Things that make me SMILE...

Benson went to get Lucy out of her crib and Nate was in the crib with her...holding her mobile over her head and said "look dad...I can hold this for Lucy" 1/10

Lucy has the cutest smile...and she scrunches up her little nose! 12/09

All Ben wants for Christmas is a SPY KIT! He is obsessed with it...I ask him who he wants to spy on and he told me "you!" 12/09

November 2008: Ben had a paper in his folder from school that said "Ask me to help you with a chore tonight" I read it to him and quickly snatched it out of my hand and threw it in the trash and said "that is for NEXT year"

November 2008 : I ask Ben what he wanted to be when he grew up he said "a daddy with a 100 babies AND a grown up human"

November 2008: I ask Samantha what she wanted to be when she grows up she said "a mommy" and I said how many babies do you want to have and she said "how ever many babies you have, mom"

October 2008: Nate climbs into bed with me with a pirate patch on and says "Mom, I'm a pirate treasure"

July 2008: Nate sees cupcakes at the store and says "Nate WUVVVS tup-takes"

Words to Live By...

"The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make....I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less." -- Anna Quindlen
