Drive, Drive on Down the Field...

We are still cheering on our Buckeyes from here in Idaho.  I am amazed that even all the way here in the west, whenever we wear our Buckeye clothes we get a random "O H" from strangers.  Of course we reply with a resounding "I O!"  There are Ohio State fans everywhere.  Maybe it's because they are awesome.

 I told them to kiss Lily.  Apparently they heard "squish" Lily.

 This girl is looking so grown up to me lately.

 After a grueling soccer game.  Julia scored a goal again at this game.  She is getting better and better.  She gets really tired though.  Whenever the coach asks if anyone needs a break Julia is first to volunteer.  Sitting in a comfy seat drinking water sounds more appealing.  We've had to tell her that when the coach asks if anyone needs a break she doesn't need to volunteer EVERY time.

 This girl loves to crawl in the grass and cause all kinds of trouble.

 Julia took a picture of us.  I think it's okay for me to appear in the blog once in a while.

 We went back to Evanston this last conference weekend as the girls had a couple of days off from school and it was Carli's baby shower.  We headed down to "the pit" to roast hot dogs and marshmallows as an early birthday celebration for Julia.

 The food was yummy and it was so pretty out there.

 Brooke got her hair cut and it is oh so cute.

 My dad.   He's been so busy lately.  We were glad to have him around as much as we did.

 Julia blowing out the candles of her pumpkin pie.  I didn't even know she liked pumpkin pie but that is what she wanted and a spoiling Nana and Papa give the girl what she wants.  We have always been far away for birthdays so it was pretty fun to have some cousins around to celebrate with.

 Audrey and Jenna giving the thumbs up.

 Funny Grady.

 I love spiderman Max in the background.  These cousins played hard all weekend.

 And a new development.  Lily is no longer terrified of the swing!  Instead of shaking, turning bright red, grunting and utter panic she swings peacefully and even gives a smile every once in a while.  Yay Lily!

And as if this post wasn't awesome enough the girls did a cheerleading routine after the football game.  I see great things in their future.  Great things.
