A weekend of firsts.......

Well, this wasn't an action-packed weekend but we did have some memorable events in the family. Since Paul and I do not have kids (yet) we live vicariously through those children we are close to...

The first "first" was Kelby's dance at school. He entered the 7th grade this year and as a kick-off for the school year they had a dance with a hawaiian theme. Although this wasn't his first school dance it was the first one that he actually asked a girl to and then picked up (well, my sister-in-law did) and took back home. My brother nor his wife were allowed to go to the dance (per Kelby's instructions) but they did get some good shots of the couple before the dance started.

Kelby and his date. To go along with the hawaiian theme Kelby presented his date with a fresh flower lei to wear.

The second "first" occurred today. Kolin played in his first football game. Kelby has played football since he was old enough to join but Kolin has always been content to sit on the sidelines or be the waterboy. Well, lo and behold, this year Kolin decided he wanted to PLAY. He made his big debut today and even though his team lost, 6-0, we had a great time watching him.


Kolin after the game....I know the boys were hot, we were just sitting in the stands in the sweltering over 100 degree heat, I can't imagine how it felt to be under all that gear. Good Game Kolin!

Nothing else much going on, it does feel kind of nice to just relax on my days off!!

Thanks for checking in and hope everyone has a great weekend!
