Fall Photo Shoot

hawks 0 - t-birds 26

game two... another tough loss....

after falling behind by a score of 0-26... the silver hawks came out and shut the powerhouse t-birds down in the second half...
ethan (#55)played wide receiver and d-line... noah (#9) center and d-line...

so, with two games down... our record is 0-2... but my friends... there is a lot of football left to be played...

GO HAWKS!!!

hawks 0 - blazers 18...

i'll have to be honest... if the outcome had been different, this post would have been done saturday night... our little hawks had a tough loss against the blazers from timberline...

noah #9 played center(pictured above) and defensive line... ethan #55 played tight end(pictured above ) and some defensive line during the game...

abby made a wonderful sign for her brothers...
noah (getting tackled) have a kickoff return for some significant yardage... this was the highlight of the game for me.. seeing my son run with the ball... very cool...

so... next saturday we play game 2 of the 2009 season... and we will pray for a different result...

Football Schedule

For anyone local interested, here is the boys' football schedule for this year. They are the Hawks Major Varsity Silver Team.

GO HAWKS!!!!!!

Ethan's 1st Day of School

And, finally, Ethan's first day of school! I am homeschooling Ethan again this year, and we are also using WAVA (Washington Virtual Academy) again. The beginning of this year is so much easier than last year, just knowing what to expect and not having everything being new and scary. However, even though Ethan is in 5th grade, he is doing 6th grade science, history and art this year... so we'll see how the 6th grade science experiments go as the year progresses :-)

And, yes, he is barefoot in the front door picture, because, well, he isn't going anywhere :-)

Cole's 1st Day of Kindergarten

The last one! Our baby started kindergarten today!

Our conversation when I picked him up:
Me: How was your first day, buddy?
Cole: Great!
Me: What did you do?
Cole: Stuff.
Me: Who did you play with at recess?
Cole: You know.
Me: What did you do in class?
Cole: Stuff.

Boys! So goofy! Good thing I have one daughter who will give me an account of every minute of every day!

2009 1st Day of School for Noah & Abby

Noah began his middle school career today. He left home at 7:45 am with his friend since kindergarten, Isayah. Mark stalked him on the way to school, following in the minivan (how embarassing!) to get one last picture. And we used the excuse of bringing in a check for his lunch, so that we could get one more photo of him at school. Mark asked Noah if we should come have lunch with him at school, but only received a "you wouldn't really do that to me, would you?" look! Abby started her 3rd grade year today, too. Her day didn't start until 8:55, although she was up and ready to go at 6:45 this morning! Her teacher is Miss Durr, who was also both Noah and Ethan's 3rd grade teacher. She is absolutely amazing, and we are so thankful that she will be teaching Abby this year. Mark & I were comparing Abby's back-to-school photo this year with last year, and I cannot believe how much she has grown up! But, she still quickly accepted the offer to join her for lunch, unlike her big brother :-)
