a great shot of him wrapping up a Brady Eagle!!

Here's one of Tyler's many touchdowns!! Go Tyler!

What a great score....38-0!!

Tyler lives for football!!! He is an awesome
player and very exciting to watch!!

Bernie, Tyler and I after his game. We are really proud
of him! He's a great player, leader, teammate and shows
great sportsmanship. We're off to a great season!!

A Day at the Game

Monday Sept. 14, 2009 ~ It's a great day for a football game!
Today is Tyler's first junior high game of the season, a home
game. He had quite a fan club section! Pa Bud, Gma Cena,
Gma Grace, Aunt Jenny, Cade, Uncle Dave & Aunt Lisa all
came to cheer him on!

Tyler #29, plays running back, end, line backer, punter,
starting kick off and punt return. He stayed on the field
for offensive and defense!

Paxton Tigers VS. Brady Eagles

Tyler was on fire!! He scored 4 touchdowns, a 2 pt.
conversion and had an interception!!!! His team won the ball
game, 38-0!!
I got lots of great shots of Tyler, however, during ball season I
borrow my friend Dana's "good camera" with the telephoto
lense ( thanks Dana!! ) so I took a few pics on my camera
so I could load them onto the blog for you to see. It was a fun
game to watch and we did lots of cheering for Tyler!!
Garrett hopes to play in their first high school home game this
Friday. He has missed his last 2 games due to a concussion, his
3rd one in a year so the Dr. is taking his time bringing Garrett
back. He started back to practice last week and is ready to
play. He's excited about being the quarter back and after 2 losses
on the books, he's ready to get in there and help his team out.

Me, Monica and Lisa.....waiting on the guys to get Larry
running again.

Marlow, Monica, Justin and Shelby joined us later.

It didn't take long until Marlow was stuck!

More 4-Wheelin' pics

Well, Larry won the award this year!! This water hole was
a little deeper than it looked! Yea, um, you just keep tellin'
yourself that Larry!

It took lots of horsepower to get Larry out of this one!

Well............good news, Larry won't have to clean his vehicle
out when he gets home!!

It took the guys' over an hour to get Larry pulled out
and things taken apart and to get him runnin' again!

We stopped mid-day ( before Larry's water hole incident )
at Roger and Kathy's campsite to grill hotdogs. Bernie was in
charge!

As always, we had lots of food! We enjoyed visiting and the
kids have fun at the playground. Even I went down the
tornado slide and Lisa and I had a contest to see who could
swing higher, until we both felt like throwing up!!!

We had quite a caravan going!

Lisa, Mason, Dave and Brooke. Come on Lisa,
give us a smile!!

We all tackled the beast! We all made it down this steep
water hole, hard to tell in picture. Was fun tho!

A Day of 4-Wheelin'

Dang it, I can't ever get these pictures where I want them!
Anyway, Cade and Mason took advantage of the mud while
the guys' got Larry unstuck! It was deep!


It took 2 vehicles, lots of tow ropes and eventually a wench
to get Larry out of this one!



Bernie hands Larry his 'life line'!




Ed was the second to get stuck! Pictures are in reverse order, sorry!

Troy is the first to get stuck, and this was just off the parking
lot pavement! We didn't get far when the fun began!

Sunday September 13, 2009 ~ We met up at Lake McConaughy for our annual 4-wheel day. The weather was cool and windy but that didn't stop us from having a good time. Those that joined us this year were Uncle Louie and Aunt Francis, Grace, Ed, friend Larry and kids, Us, friends of Dave's-Troy, Trudy and their kids, Dave, Lisa and kids, Mark Lammers and Roger, Kathy and Steve. We had a mix of old and new vehicles. Some got more crazy then others..... (Larry!), as you'll see in pictures.

A Day at the Parade

Garrett #12, with tongue out! Tyler #29 is behind him. Some
of the football boys' rode in the parade.


GO TIGERS!!

My nephews Remington and Mason drove this little tow

truck in the parade. I could hardly get a picture, Remington

was trying too fast!

Cade, with white shirt and orange hat, rode on the 5th

graders float.

Cade, in the middle, and cousin Brooke on end in blue,

were among some of their classmates who rode on the

5th grade float. Note: float was a last minute idea by

another parent - had I know I would've used my Martha

Stewart decorating skills and added some streamers and

balloons!!! Guess I'll have to take over next year! Ha ha!

Labor Day 2009 ~ We went in to Paxton this morning for all of the Labor Day festivities. We picked up Bernie's Mom, Grace, and went in for the pancake feed. We got there just at the right time and didn't even have to wait in line. Later tho, lines were around the block!! Must have been our lucky day! Afterwards, we met up with my folks, sister Becky, Todd, Ashton, Dell, Tanner, Dave, Lisa and Ed for the parade. All of the boys' were in it this year so it was fun to watch. Paxton celebrated 100 years so there were lots of entrants in the parade this year so it actually lasted longer than 10 minutes! There were several good entries, only thing missing was Steve on his ol' farmall tractor! After the parade we all met up at the park for hamburgers and visiting and checked out the booths set up. It was a great day of family and friends!

A Day of Harvest

August 29, 2009 ~ Today we reaped the benefits of Tyler and Cade's hard work this summer!
It's harvest day! Tyler and Cade picked a wheelbarrow full of sweet corn from the 4 rows they planted. I took lots of good pictures of them picking and shucking it and us putting it up, however, after I had them developed I started deleting them off my camera before I downloaded them onto my computer!!!! Aaahh! I got down to this last picture before I realized what I was doing! I am so mad at myself! We were all so proud of their hard work and bountiful crops and I wanted to share that with all of you, sorry! My bad! We ended up getting 17 bags of corn when we were all done! It's really good too so will be so nice to have this winter! They also had a bucket full of nice potatoes and several cucumbers, and Grace and I have canned tomatos twice, with lots more to go!! Not bad for a first year garden!! Tyler and Cade are great farmers, they did a great job! Tyler was the boss of the operation and Cade the hired hand, ha ha. It was a great summer project for them, Tyler especially, he likes to stay busy. We will definately be enjoying their labors all winter! Just wish you could've seen more!
