Falcon Football-6th graders

The 6th graders haven't had a winning season, but they have learned a lot and have certainly progressed.

Cousin Samuel thought Jacob was the most awesome football player out there. It made Jacob smile...even after a loss.


Jacob absolutely loves football and has found good friends in his teammates.

Jacob puts all his effort into doing his job out there...even when he has to block a guy twice his size! They have faced several REALLY big kids this year...we begin to wonder: how many years do some of these kids get to be in sixth grade?
Jacob has knocked a couple of them on their backsides, though. Good job, kid!

Blake's Big Birthday!

We had a great night to have a party and had a great turnout to celebrate Blake's 40th!

Family, friends, neighbors and kids, kids, kids everywhere!

The Philby's move to Iowa!

It is so nice that my sister and her family have moved back to Iowa. We have had so much fun getting to see them so often.

A trip to Adventureland for the first time with Leah and Samuel. We had a big day with lots of fun...on Grandma Sherry's birthday!

Oh, yeah. The kids love to come out to our place...mostly because of the river. Getting onto the sand bar is a treasure hunt every time...we never know what we will find.

We don't really let them swim in the river...I don't trust currents, but this was an area between the shore and the sand bar so it was current free.

21st Class Reunion

Ever been to a 21 year reunion? Yes, we missed last year so got together this year instead. It was fun to see people I haven't seen in, oh, 20 to 21 years.

It was fun spending time with some old friends...and re-living the old b-ball days!

We also stayed with our good friends, the Reiders, and the kids had a blast swimming in their pool.
