Another football weekend

The Jaguars football team had another game this weekend.  It was the last regular season game.  Only 3 games left!   Grant is still really loving it, I think he'd do it all year if we let him!  But then he says the same thing about baseball, golf and basketball!  Good thing for "seasons" otherwise we would be running around crazy doing all of them!

Rocco, Grant and Blake taking a water break during the game.

Rocco had a GREAT run.  They couldn't tackle him.  I also noticed a lot of kids didn't even try,  I think they take one look at his size and get a little nervous!! :)

The Head Coach doing his thing...

The future of Jaguar football!

Shea wasn't into the game, but she loves visiting with her friends and playing at the park.

I had to add another picture of the newest Carley family member.  He is such a stud!

"you talkin' to me?!"

Picture Perfect

When Shea handed me back my very new, very expensive camera and told me she was playing with it, I knew I should be upset with her.  But, in the back of my mind I was secretly excited.  You see, every time Shea gets ahold of a camera, we find the funniest pictures on it!  For example, the time Justin noticed that Shea had taken pictures of her freshly painted toenails on his cell phone camera, and the time I uploaded my pictures and found that she had taken the camera into the car a snapped pictures of all the dirty cup holders!  

So yesterday when I put my pictures on my computer, I immediately noticed this picture that Shea had so cleverly taken of Camden and his 2 best friends!

Needless to say, I think we may be getting Shea her own camera for Christmas.  

It could provide our family with a lot of amusement and fond memories!

Cheers

Apparently, "like Mother - like Daughter," runs deep in our family.  Not only does Shea look like me, but she wants to follow in my footsteps.  As much as I have been trying to avoid it, it seems as if Shea is destined to be a Cheerleader!

Last weekend she attended the local high school Cheer Camp, which then allowed her to cheer at the homecoming game on Friday night.  Despite the cold and rain, she wanted to be out there with her friends to cheer on the football team.

She is definitely "cute" enough to be a cheerleader!

I must admit, her performance skills need a little work! :)  She was so enamored by the crowd that she couldn't concentrate on her cheers.

We had a few kicks her and there, but mostly watched the high school cheerleaders and the crowd.

But, by the end she focused less on the crowd and started to get in the "spirit" of things!

"Go Tigers!"

Beaver Fever!

OSU Beavers upset #1 USC!

I meant to post this on Friday after the big game, but never got a chance.  I'm still living on the "high" of the win, so I'll post anyway!

Justin, Grant, Camden and I were all able to go to the game.  We have some wonderful friends in our community that couldn't make the game so they gave Justin and I 4 tickets on the 50 yard line!  They were amazing seats.  I must admit, that I wasn't sure I wanted to go.  Shea was sick and I kept thinking that we would get blown out and be heading home by half time anyway!  Oops, not exactly a Beaver Believer was I! :)  

But Justin kept saying that he had "a feeling about the game" (quintessential Beaver Believer)!  So I decided to go.  Wow, and I glad I changed my mind!  Reeser Stadium was rockin' and the Rodgers brothers were on fire!  At half time we ran out to the parking lot and it was pandemonium!  All the fans couldn't believe what was happening.  

Watching the student section rush the field was incredible.  Poor Grant was dying to go on the field, but it was a madhouse and I didn't want him getting trampled on.

I wish I had more pictures to post, but I forgot my camera when we went into the stadium.  All I have is a few pictures from our tailgater.
