Football games are fun!

Drexel had a make up game on Wednesday night and I didn't get a picture of his best buddy Max, but I did remember to get a few pictures of him.  He's so darling in his little uniform and pads.  He loves the game...well sort of.  He has a good time.  We make him play because he needs to learn to work a little harder and have some boy time.  As a single mom we don't have a lot of one on one tackle time.  I'm not a good tackler or dummy for that matter.  So here's Drexel in action.  His number is 61...you can't really see it from pictures but I'll try and help you out.  
Here's one with the helmet on!

This one above is for the Banister family...that's Mason there...He's coaching his little guy's team.  Drexel is there on the ground with his guy.

Ah yes...here's my pal Elise.  Elise hangs out with me during the games.  Max is her brother and he and Drexel are good friends.  Their Mommy Stephanie and I have become fast friends and their Daddy Brian and I were in high school around the same time.  

Did I mention we play football??

Since I can never remember to take pictures when I have the camera with me.  I'm a moron.  So tonight we have a make up game and I'm hoping to remember the camera.  It seems our house gobbles things right up.  We have, since the beginning of the school year, lost a library book, our new DS, and our football cleats.  I have found the football cleats....let's see if I can find the rest.  

Off to clean the kitchen!  Pictures tonight I promise!

I'm 6!!

Wow.  Drexel turned 6 on Sunday.  Wow.  I can't believe it!  Wow!  We have been very busy and things are a little crazy but we're muddling through.  For Drexel's birthday we baked a cake - OK Aunt Janell did - took cupcakes that once again Aunt Janell baked for us.  Tom called to wish Drexel a Happy Birthday and then we had a football game and went to the Crossroads St. Jude Concert of Hope which is where David took these great pictures.  We love live music.  The funny part was that the country music was too loud, but the rock music he was bobbing his head to!  Ha!  It's difficult to be a 6 year old and the new world of kindergarten and a lot of things going on in the little guys world.  His Grandma had her tumor removed, Mommy was gone to Iowa, so Drexel has been shipped all over the place but he's doing well.  He adjusts and yay for Jennifer!  She's the best weeklong baby sitter ever!  

Anyway - we're six now and all is well.  We're sleeping in our own bed every night without question.  We read our books and play our new DS and are waiting to find the Wii.
