Football Cheer Clinic September 2010

Brittany & friends before they cheered at halftime!   
Brittany went to cheer camp for 3 days and even got a Spirit Stick on the last day of camp, she was so excited!

Madilyn's Travel Soccer Game 9.12.10

 With all of Brittany & Clay's sports I don't get to make it to very many of my neices' & nephews' sports so when Madi played within 1 hour of us we headed out!
Madi was beaming when she saw that we had surprised her by coming to the game.  It was a gorgeous day, doesn't the sky almost look fake?  We were so proud to cheer Madi on from the sidelines!

Clay's 1st Tackle Football Game 9.11.10

 Clay played his 1st tackle football game on 9.11.10.  It rained, it poured, and then rained some more.  Clay didn't care, he was in his element!

 I had to have a picture in his 3 point stance

Labor Day Weekend 2010 at the Zoo

Brittany headed up to the lakes with a friend for Labor Day weekend so Clay & I headed to Deanna's and to the zoo.  Pam, Jay, & Lincoln met us there and despite the cool temperatures we had a great day!  Clay's 2 favorite animals are cheetahs & sharks so he was loving this zoo.  Clay got a chance to pet the sharks! 
We saw one of Clay's best friends at the zoo!  Too funny!
This is a picture of the boys feeding a giraffe, a lady was in my way so my pic doesn't show the giraffe at all!  UGH!
Clay raced the cheetah! 
 Madilyn didn't want to race the cheetah but she wanted a picture with Tony Stewart and the cheetah.

 Clay was in awe (I was also!) of the cheetahs.  They are gorgeous and dangerous looking at the same time.  They are very intimidating animals.

We tried to get a picture with all the kids but Lincoln was NOT happy about it!  HA! 
the boys being boys!  LOVE this picture!


August 28th, 2010 Quick Chicago Trip

 We headed up to Chicago for a quick day trip.  The boys had tickets to the preseason Bears game vs. the Arizona Cardinals and the girls including my friend Tina headed to Michigan Avenue!  The weather was perfect!
the boys in their favorite attire!

  Chad said that Clay loved the inflatable Bear that the players ran out of during the start of the game

I LOVE this picture of Clay.  Much like his father, Soldier's Field is like heaven on earth!  Since I sent my camera with Chad, the girls didn't get to take pictures of our adventures shopping.  We made several purchases and ate dinner at the Cheesecake Factory.  Everyone had a great day!
