Big Blue

 Brocky read his first ever book on Sunday! It took awhile because he is really just starting to put his sounds together, but we were so proud! He loves doing homework and learning. Doran has way more homework this year than he did last year. It has been a rough change for him, but he is trucking along!

 Last week the Giants game made me so mad! We would have killed the stupid Cowboys, but we kept turning over the ball. They were all Giants mistakes, not Cowboys forcing turnovers. It was a bummer! After Wilson turned the ball over for the second time I said we need to get Jacobs back! Well on Tuesday the Giants re-signed him! So now Seth can wear his Jacobs jersey again and Brock and Doran can wear theirs!

 This week Aunt Samantha was in Disneyland so my mom would pick Brock up at school and bring him to my work and we would hang out with me for a half an hour. He loved it. One day grandma didn't do their hair so they both wore hats to school which is against the rules. Brock said his teacher told him he can't wear a hat and he said to her, "but my grandma didn't do my hair!" I was laughing pretty hard about it. Doran's teachers let him wear his all day!

 The boys have been loving their football games. They each have one on a weeknight and one on Saturday. They both are awesome at it and have so much fun!

 At yesterdays game Brock had two touchdowns and pulled two flags! He passed the ball and it was a great pass, but his teammate didn't catch it.

 Doran had a huge touchdown too! He has gotten really good at blocking on the defense too!

 Here Doran passed the ball and it was a completion! His teammate almost had a touchdown!

 The other night something awesome happened! Doran and Brock asked me if I would read Harry Potter to them! I was so happy! I read the Hobbit to them last year, but they haven't asked me to read anything since.

 Brooks gave Doran these glasses as a very late birthday present, but he won't wear them. Brock took over them and he won't take them off. He thinks he looks awesome in them!

 Fact:

 Today the Giants play the Broncos. Brock loves Peyton Manning and I just couldn't bear the thought of Brock wearing a Peyton Manning jersey today. So Seth and I ordered them some Giants NFL rushzone shirts. They love the rushzone TV show so I knew these shirts would be a hit. Problem solved! Go Giants!

Football weekend!

 Doran's hand is healing nicely. His scar is sweet though!

 The other night the boys were being so cute and silly in my bed! They kept wanting me to take pictures of them, so of course I did!

 Doing Chinese homework! First grade homework is a lot more exciting!

 We found an egg free protein shake and bought it so Doran could have some. I have made them shakes with bananas and peanut butter and Doran loves it. I have to put a little chocolate syrup in Brocky's.

 My desk at work looks so cute! I got my pictures of my three boys and pictures Doran and Brock made me!

 Today was a very long day! Brock had a soccer game at ten and Doran had one at eleven. Then we went straight from the soccer fields to the football fields where Doran had his first football game of the season and then we went from that to Brock'f football game!

 Doran did really good at his game! He is a fast runner and almost got people flags. He had a lot of fun at both games. His best buddy Trey is on his football team so it makes him so happy.

 You can see him in this picture running with the ball!

 Brock's game!

 He halled butt and got the first two flags of the game. He pulled the kids flags who got the ball after the kick and then he got them on the next play. He was so fast that twice he almost got a kids flags that ran the other side of the field!

 Here he is being quarter back.

 Now at the end of the day he is very sick. I am guessing he has heat exhaustion. His eyes are blood shot and he is just laying. I am making him drink lots of water. Luckily he won't have anymore soccer games. I wish they didn't make them overlap. It was a bit much for him. Doran is fine though and being a really good older brother and helping take care of him.

Labor Day weekend in pictures

 I am getting a lot better at taking pictures. The problem I am now having is that some of them are really random, but I like them too much to let them go... Like this picture of Brock at the bus stop that he will be angry with me about when he is an adult.

 Or this picture of Doran's first library book. So Doran!

 Or this picture of my 'corner' in my office.

 Or this picture of our freezer after we stocked it with the half of a cow that we got!

 Or my current favorite treat- baked green onions.

 This picture of Brock upset about being at church yesterday is worth keeping. This is a typical Sunday face for this boy.

 My drafting snack- protein ice cream! I was having massive cravings and pushed through them with this little treat!

 More food pics! Baked sweet potato chips! So delicious!

 Saturday we had Audrey all day while Janelle and Adam went on an all day date! I have missed her so bad! We took her bowling and laser tagging at Jaxon's birthday party and she loved it!

 Jen made Will this beanie and sent me a picture of him wearing it. I loved it and asked her to make one for me. She made it so fast. When I got it I had some fun taking everyone's picture in it.

 And making collages. The one of Will crying in the corner is the one she first sent me. She is so talented!

 Our summer bowling pass ended today. I was so close to beating Seth at our last game of the summer! I had him beat until the very last frame! Too bad we put a wager on it.

 Seth and I tried a new place for our cheat meal today. It is called Chubby's in Pleasant Grove. It was delicious! I apparently like to take pictures of food.

 This is how we closed out the weekend. I sat on the porch and watched Seth and the boys play catch with a football and then a baseball. It was so fun! They are way good at it and they had so much fun! They love hanging out with their daddy!
