**Winning Weekend**

First, I was really going to try to be better and update more often, but, ya know things happen. I have a really bad cold and have not felt like doing anything but vegging on the couch. Did I get to do that, of course not!! Too Much going on....

Well, I did veg for most of the morning on Saturday, Drake had practice so I had a couple hours of peace and quiet! Then we had to get ready, we had tickets to the Beavers game. Boy, that was a fun game to watch. The boys were sitting down on the end zone and had a pretty good view. We were sitting in a group of ROWDY drunk people (Mark knew most of them). Spent the whole game standing up. But it was alot of fun to watch. The Beavs won 66-13 (I think the Ducks won too, but I feel asleep shortly after halftime).

Then Sunday dawned bright, clear, sunny and cold (Although I swear about 6:30 A.M. I heard it drizzling). The day started with a football game for Drake at 12:00 in South Salem (they have a really nice field!). The first quarter and 1/2 of the 2nd were scoreless, then they scored and we stopped them from the getting their extra point, YEAH!! Then our team had the ball, Drake's offense was out, and the 2nd play, Drake handed it off and Maddox ran about 70 yards and scored YEAH!! In this league, the kids do not kick for extra points, they have to run it in. I am not sure if it was that drive or the next one, but Drake went out as QB and threw a pass and that was caught for the extra point. It was a VERY proud mommy moment. I wish I had that on film. We went on to win 19-12. The team we played had the same record as us 2-2 and had lost to the same 2 teams as us, so it was kinda sweet to beat them. It was a good game to watch. Next Sunday's game is at Lebanon High School at 2:00 P.M.

Well, we left the football field and headed straight to Oregon City for Baseball game @ 3:00 P.M., we got there about 2:45. Not much time for the kids to warm up and not much time for Drake to shift gears from football to baseball. Drake ended up catching the whole game (5 or 6 innings, dont' remember). It was a pretty good game. Gunner played short stop and had about 4 plays that he fielded the ball and threw the runner out at 1st. He had a really nice hit down the 3rd base line! Was happy to see that. Drake caught a pop up behind home plate and threw a kid out stealing 3rd, and then threw a kid out at 1st on a dropped 3rd strike. I think that was Drake's last baseball game for the the fall (not sure what they are going to do for a catcher. WOuld like to see Gunner try it :D) There are 2 more baseball games, and Gunner will have to hitch a ride with someone. Oh, the score ended up 14-3, we won :D.

Well, I that is my weekend update, 2 more weekends for both football and baseball. Not sure if the boys are going to play basketball. Of course after both seasons are over, what am I going to have to talk about!!! (I will figure something out).

Have a Happy Monday!

P.S. WOW, I was long winded!! I did take some pics, but didn't get them off my camera, so this post will be picless..........
