Well yesterday was the first Football game for the season. We walked away with a win 20-18. :) Oakly is playing Outside Line Backer, and taking to his position very well. He had a quarter back sack in the second play of the game, he blocked an extra point kick and then he stopped a trick play for a 15 yard loss. Every time he gets on the field he understands the game more and tries his position a little more.
The girls are liking football for the simple fact that it is outside and the playground is very enticing, it doesn't hurt that the weather was in the low 30's for the day and so it was fun to hang around with friends and play.
Grandpa and Grandma Pharis came for the first game and although Grandma didn't understand a lick of what was going on she was a good sport about cheering. After the game we went out for pizza and lots of water, to replenish from the heat.
Last night we were out on the deck just hanging until just after 9:00, and then the wind came up and we were running around putting down umbrellas and a fire at Dean and Keri's. I heard a crash and looked over to see there umbrella and table tipped over. I was on my way over and noticed that their were sparks jumping on the ground. The wind had stirred the fire just enough to get sparks and blow them around the yard. We grabbed the water hose and put the fire out. The Waters' didn't need to lose another house. The thunder and lightening set in for the next few hours and with it it brought rain, that the grass and garden needed.
