Football game 9-26-09

Lucas had his 3rd game on Saturday. I can't believe this week will mark the half way point of the season. It really seems to be flying by. The pictures pretty much tell the story so I will let it. they continued their undefeated streak by pulling out a 6-0 victory. The Blue Valley team we played was a touch defensive based team. Lucas and the rest of the offensive line got their work out. Yeah, yeah they are only in the 2nd grade but come on they are playing better then the Chiefs are!!

Pre-game stretching work out.

One serious fan! Addi has discovered the art of socializing this year. When not hanging out with the big girls she does sneak in a few minutes to watch Lucas.

Hope to see you at a new game soon.

Tooth fairy

Well Lucas lost his tooth yesterday. He was at school and ran into Ms. Grossman. Ms. Grossman is a K teacher that Lucas has loved from the first time he talked to her. Apparently she is somewhat famous at school for pulling loose teeth. Lucas was truly honored when she agreed to pull it out yesterday. He even managed to hold onto the tooth without loosing it on the bus ride home!

When he woke up this morning he expected to find money in his tooth fairy pillow. Yep, you guessed right. No money in the pillow. Still a tooth and no money. I had already left for work before anyone else was out of bed so Jeremy had to field this one all by himself. Before Jeremy could clear the cob webs from his brain Lucas managed to think of the answer. Addi, Addi of coarse was the reason the tooth fairy did not come.

Now we do not encourage division between the kids but Jeremy saw a light at the end of this crisis tunnel so he inquired. Addi? Yes, Lucas replied. Addi came in my room early this morning, true it was about 4 when she wondered in to sleep with him. Addi must have come in before the tooth fairy and then she thought it was the wrong room so she left. Yes, yes that must be it Jeremy responded. Ah, a kid that can solve his own tooth fairy issues! God has blessed us!

The tooth fairy has already come this evening and Addi was told to stay in her bed all night so there would not be a problem. She left a bit of a bonus for missing last night and a note of explanation.

The tooth fairy better watch it or in the economy times she could easisly be replaced!!

Tooth v door

Lucas has had a loose tooth, the second one, for over two weeks now. It has given him much entertainment and caused much anxiety regarding when it would come out. Jeremy has talked many times regarding the use of the string around the tooth and door knob that his Grandma Lil was famous for using.

Well after the door close.....the check to see if the tooth is still there

Yep, still there

Second try

the door the tooth

the tooth won. Jeremy said he never appreciated the skill it took for Grandma Lil to pull this little trick off. It appears our problem lies in the string knot around the tooth.

Good Luck getting the tooth fairy to come back Lucas!

The start of football

Saturday was Lucas first football game. After much debate Lucas stayed in KC so he could go to the game. We think it was best in the end. No one wanted to miss his game after the season we had last year and this was his first tackle football game but no way we were going to miss a wedding Addi and Jeremy were in. It was a true delima around here! In the end Lucas stayed and Grandma Jan and Char took him to his game. We owe them a big thank you. I heard it was an amazing game. They won 33 to 6!! We are off to a great start. We have another game on Saturday and practice tonight was great so they should be pretty strong on Saturday after a scrimmage on Wednesday night and a couple more practices before Saturday.

I should get some pictures soon from Grandma Char. She took a ton for us. Between the text messages and pictures we saw it was as close as we could get to being there.

Way to go Lucas!!

Chalene's wedding

Saturday was the big day. The big day for Chalene and Addi both. Addi was a flower girl for the first time. Granted her commitment was over just as Chalene's was beginning but Addi took it just as serious. She did perfect. I wish I could share more or go into more detail but really it was pretty simple. She practiced like a pro on Friday night. She did argue with the Priest about the fact he thought she should sit with her parents. She boldly told him she would go to the front. On Saturday, she went straight to the front until Mass started and then she left the maid of honor's side. She did not throw her flower pedals but either did the other flower girl so we will call it a wash there.

She loved every second of it. She called herself a wedding princess. After the wedding we tried to get her to rest without luck. She was far too busy reliving the moments of the big wedding. I think we heard and then, and then, and then I walk down to the end, and then I stop and lene came. Addi danced at the reception until 10:30.

Jeremy was an usher in the wedding and did wonderful. We did not even make him practice the month before the wedding!! Addi was very impressed at how her daddy looked.

Alright, alright now for the part you all want. Pictures. Well I have no pictures of her walking down the isle. I have a couple but the sun coming in from the back of the church is killer so it did not come out. I have a lot of pictures from before the wedding so I hope those do.

wondering when she will get to walk down for real.
There she goes A picture with the bride. They look so cute together!


Hummm, do you think they would notice if I slipped this in my basket?

Hard to imagine she could be grown up like Chalene one day.

Really are you going to take more pictures?? Excuse me, no one told me about a second wedding princess!!

Oh, she is just a flower girl. Oh ok, well good luck to you.

I am not even going to say it. It would do me no good to remind them-no more pictures!!
Hangin out with dad waiting for some more pictures. A dancin girl!! Addi and Jeremy had a blast talking and dancing at the reception.

Thank you Chalene and Jarrod it was a wonderful weekend. If you ever need a flower girl, I know a wedding princess that would love to sign up for service!!

Sleep tight

Light night I tucked the kids into bed and started to do some work I needed to get done all weekend. I finished a couple hours later and did the walk down the hall to check on the kids before I went to sleep. To my surprise Lucas had a bed mate. I just had to grab a picture.

I stood there for about five minutes deciding what to do. I debated between taking Addi back to her and the fear of waking both of them or leaving them together only to face what I thought was sure drama in the middle of the night. I opted for the lather figuring what is one more night with some drama. Much to my surprise I was awaken by my alarm clock. When I checked on them they were pretty much in the same position. I almost hated to wake them.

I asked Lucas what the story was and he said he was awake in his bed and heard Addi (I question that) and took her to his room. I never saw her walk or make a sound so maybe this is the way it happened. In the end it does not matter because it is so stinkin cute to see them growing so close to each other.





What a bunch of cuties!!

A girls life

There are certain things you can only do with a little girl. One of those things, putting sponge rollers in her hair. It was so much fun. It did not turn out well, her hair is just too thin but she loved every second of it, even when Lucas was laughing at her!
