This is a shot about three quarters of the way into the race. This was a 1.75 mile invitational. Daniel has been running at a pretty steady pace for most of the meets. I love watching Daniel run. He loves running and it shows. He always looks so happy and peaceful while he is running. Of course, for his shot, he's trying to look like a tough runner because Mom is taking a picture.

Freshman Football 2009
A day in the life of our freshman football player.
5:30 Wake up, eat, get dressed.
6:15 Start weight lifting for football.
8:00 School Starts.
3:30 Football Practice.
6:30 Get home, shower, wolf down dinner, and then do homework.
8:00 Go to bed exhausted.
Apparently it's worth every ache, drop of sweat and sacrifice he makes to be on the team. The team has lost every game so far, but after each game Nicko has a huge smile. He shrugs and says he did his best and he gave it his all, maybe they'll win the next one. Go Team Go!
I'll add a few more pics to this post next weekend.

Signs that Summer is Fading Away
Summer is slowly fading away. We love the changing of the seasons. The cool crisp air, the beautiful color the fall brings, football games huddled under a wool blanket to keep warm, and picking apples are just a few of the things we LOVE about autumn. Each season is so unique and so different than the season before. So here are our top 5 reason why the kids think that summer is fading and fall is beginning.
#1 No More Dock! The dock removal crew.....
.... and the supervisor!

#2 Football is the new Saturday Project! So exhausting.

#3 Trees are starting to get a little color.

#4 Jean Jackets are needed while the kids wait for the bus in the morning.

#5 The pumpkins and mums have arrived!

The Signature Dive!
Pool games seem to be a big deal for the kids when we are in Alabama. This year we had a diving competition. There were four dives and you were rated on each dive. The four dives were the perfect dive, a belly flop, a cannon ball and your own signature dive. I don't know who won, but I did get a few good shots of the signature round. I don't know who had more fun, the divers showing off or the judges watching the show.

Air Show 2009
We went to an awesome air show this summer. Actually, the kids went with Joel. Mom stayed home. :-) There was a World War II exhibit and the kids really enjoyed everything. They saw all sorts of unusual things like two airplanes attached at one wing....can someone please tell me why they would do that???? They saw lots of planes flying in formations, sky writing, and there were a ton of really cool cars there as well. These are a few of their favorite things:
**Alyssa - A woman standing on the wings of a bi plane while the plane was flying in the air! She never fell off even when the plane went upside down! It was cool.
**Isaac - The air bus. It was huge!
**Daniel - I liked seeing so many different kinds of air crafts.
**Nicko - The WWII fighter plane...which is not the picture above.
Alabama 2009
This year, the tallest to shortest photo is not in order of age. Matt is the tallest one in the group and Alyssa...I think you'll always be the shortest one in the group!
Highlights of the trip this year were:
**Alyssa - Clothes shopping with Grandma and Mom and swimming everyday.
**Isaac - Swimming everyday and going to the water park.
**Daniel - Seeing our cousins and having dessert everyday.
**Nicko - Sleeping in, no chores and watching TV.
