Weekly Update

I love reading blogs! I just wish I were better at posting on mine :)

Our lives during the past couple of weeks:

* We had friends from Silsbee come stay with us during Ike. We LOVED having them here. They were so sweet to cook for us and do laundry. I invited them to move in. I could get use to that!!!

* Caleb lost 2 more teeth and get this.... He swallowed them both!!! On different days! One night he swallowed one while eating and a couple of days later he swallowed one in his sleep. He wrote the cutest little note to the toothfairy explaining and of course she understood!

* Gavin & Caleb both received Patriot Star of the Week at school during the first 3 weeks of school.... very proud of both of them!

* I have had my head stuck in books! I started the Twilight series and could NOT put it down. I'm so sad Bella & Edward (my friends from the books) are no longer in my life. So funny how they become so real. Now I'm looking forward to the movie!!!

* We still have football going on. I can tell my life is changing. The boys think about football all the time. Gavin makes up his own plays. They are constantly asking Scott if he wants to go run plays outside. Scott has even gotten so into it that he has become a coach. Wow! I've been to a million football games and never cared to understand. Now that my babies love it they are teaching me!

Are you ready for some football?

Well, Caleb & Gavin have been practicing for weeks (2 times a week) and this weekend was the first game. We learned that this football thing is serious stuff - all new to me growing up with girls! Check out their jersey numbers. They got to pick them... we didn't have to worry about anyone else wanting these numbers :)

I love this picture..... discussing the game.


Here Caleb holds them off so that Gavin gets a 40 yard run.


And Gavin making the first touchdown!

Caleb the Heart Throb

Our conversation getting ready for school this morning:

Caleb: Momma, I think Halle is in love with me.

Me: Oh really, why do you think that?

Caleb: Well, she always wants to sit beside me and if someone else sits down first she gives me this look (here he showed me the look and threw his hands in the air.... you know the look that means "what are you doing? why didn't you save me a spot?")

Me: hmmm.....

Caleb, I know that if you were in my 1st grade class I would be in love with you too. I'm not saying Halle is, but there is so much to love about you!!!!
