"The Young Man"

Devin was the youth speaker in church today. He gave me so much grief over it and was even vowing to not do it on the way to church. So, I was mentally preparing myself to give his talk, when at the last minute he said he would do it. He did SOOOO good. If he was nervous, you couldnt tell it. His talk was on charity. After church, I had to capture the moment with a picture. This was the only smile I could muster out of him. It will do.

Drakes Creek vs Warren East

We won our first football game this past Thursday night. We went into overtime and it all came down to us getting the extra point when they didnt. So, we won 16 to 14. Devin did SO WELL. He was a BEAST out on the field. He plays Cornerback and he brought down their runningback and / or receiver SEVEN TIMES! My camera blurred all of the action shots for some reason. It has too many buttons; I still need to learn how to use it. I promise to take better pictures of next week's game against Glasgow.

The Birthday Boy

The first day of school just happened to be Seth's birthday too! Poor kid. He handled it very well, especially considering they spent 2 hours on the busride home. ( new driver, new route, and a long, hot story...it happened to reach 99 degrees that day.) He forgot all about it when he saw his new "big boy" bike. His first take off on the new bike.......
My Granny with Seth...

Back To School

Summer flew by so fast! I feel like it was just yesterday that we were arranging summer camps and practicing for baseball! Devin started at Drakes Creek Middle School. He was excited even though you cannot tell from the lack of expression on his face. (this is the macho look...no smile). He opted to ride the bus from day one...cant be having Mom and Dad take you to school the first morning when you are in 7th grade. He is playing football for Drakes, of course. Conditioning started a week or so before school, so that kinda broke the ice for him. Seth is in 1st grade and Ryan in 2nd, attending Natcher Elementary. They both did really good the first day of school. We are now a couple of weeks into school, and no disciplinary action taken yet. hint....I am not referring to Ryan.

Big Buffalo Crossing Canoe Trip

We drove up to Munfordville the weekend before school started to spend one last fun day together. We coasted down the Green River for about 3 hours. Chad and Devin had been once already this summer and Devin was dying to go back. We all had alot of fun. The boys caught ALOT of frogs, we spotted a snake, swam a little, and most importantly...didnt tip the canoe over.
