My Football Player.

Two recent birthday cards I've made with similar supplies. I think they were laying on my scrap table so I grabbed them to use. :)

I am proud of Andrew and his new "career" in football this season. He has never played football before but has learned a lot the last two weeks of practice. Today was his first game. His team is the Redskins. They played against the Colts and won 18 to 0. Yay! He played offence (right guard) most of the game but in the last half they played him on defence too. He got his man every time except once when the other player dodged him well. He is number 5 like Wade was in his football career (as a wide receiver). Click on photos to see larger and see my boy taking down the biggest member of the other team. Woohoo!



Pitiful scoreboard but the proof of the win! Of course this is the start of the next two months of Saturdays.

I want to wish a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to four special people this month. September 1st was my SIL, Temple's birthday. On Thursday (the 3rd) was my nephew, Tyler's, birthday. He is 17 yrs old. I can't believe that. Every year on his birthday though I think the same thing and I always have the need to tell someone that I saw him born. I was only 15 yrs old and it was a big deal for me to witness as you can imagine! Today is my sweet nephew, Stone's, birthday. I can't believe that booger is TWO years old today. Wow! And tomorrow is his daddy's birthday, Ben, my brother-in-law (Wade's "baby" brother). I won't mention the ages of the adults. :) Plus tomorrow my parents celebrate 41 years of marriage. Must be a special month! At least it is for me because of those special people in my lives.

A picture of our newest "pet" will soon follow. Elizabeth brought home a pollywog (aka, tadpole but I like the former word for effect LOL) from school. The class named it Scuba Derek Farmer.

Have a wonderful Labor Day!
