Good Day......

Well, it was all sports today, but it was a good day. Started with a baseball game at 10:00 in Oregon City, top of 3rd down 0-5, ended up coming back and winning 11-5. Don't have any pictures and the only real highlight was Gunner tagging a runner out at 2nd.

Then had to hurry home for the 1st football game of the season at 4:00 at Seven Oaks, here was the score........

We were the home team, YEAH!!! Drake is on 2nd offense and he is the Quarterback (he is #87), here is the 1st snap he took in the game....

His offense scored 2 of the three touchdowns and had another one called back....It was a good game. Here is a couple more pictures from the game. (I believe we played one of the South Albany teams today).

Next football game is Saturday (NOT SUNDAY) @ 4:00 P.M. @ North Albany Middle School.

Wish I was here........

AHHHHH, what I would give to be sitting on a beach, with a cold drink and have this as my view.

A little of this, a little of that....

Well, everyone survived the 1st week of school, mostly.

Here are some pictures from the week....

1st day of school (taken on the 3rd day, but who is counting)














Mark and Gunner went out and did a little early season goose and dove hunting, this was the goose Mark shot. It was a big one!














and finally, Saturday was the punt, pass and kick (and pictures) for pop warner. Thank you to everyone who pledged money. Drake ended up taking 3rd place in the kick division for the Junior PeeWee (there are 9 teams in JPW). That was very exciting since this is his first year playing football. He looks cute in his uniform.



We are off to a baseball game this evening and Drake has his 1st football game next Sunday (14th) @ 4:00 P.M. at Seven Oaks Middle School.

When did they grow up......

Holy Cow!!!!

How do they grow up so fast. This is not Drake's "official" uniform, but he decided to "channel" Joey Harrington for practice. He looked so cute, had to take a picture!!



Also, here is a picture of the boys with the fish they caught from the jetty @ Newport.

1st day of school....

Where or where did the summer go. I can't believe it is the 1st day of school and I now have a 8th grader and a 5th grader! The first day was uneventful for both of them, they both said they would go back tomorrow (that's a good thing!) and they have no homework. Will have to post pictures later.....

Had a great weekend at the coast, it did rain some on Sunday, but little showers here and there, then the sun would come out, otherwise it was pleasant. Phil and LeeAnn where there, LeeAnn had to leave Sunday, but Phil stayed until Monday. Mark, Phil and the boys fished off the jetty and caught some sea bass. They all had a ball!! I stayed at camp and watched the fire and read a book. What a nice relaxing weekend!!

I will have to post some pictures later and as soon as I know a football schedule, I will post that as well. As far as I know, this weekend we only have a baseball game at 6:00 P.M. Sunday in West Linn..........

TGIF..........

Yeah, it is Friday and a 3-day weekend, WAHOO!!!

We are going to the coast for the weekend, after Drake is done with football practice. The weather does not look that promising, but who cares, it is camping and not baseball or football and not at home.

Can't believe it is time for back to school. The boys both start on Wednesday, where or where did the summer go......

Nothing exciting to post about. Drake has survived 2 weeks of practice, the last week was full pads and next week starts full contact. He is a little timid hitting, he doesn't want to hurt anyone, but I think he will get over that!!

They both played in the baseball game last sunday, in the rain and then in the dark. We won, 12-2 or something like that. One inning, Drake was in left field, Gunner was at 2nd. Drake caught a pop fly, threw the ball to 2nd (there was a runner there that did not tag up) and the kid was out on 2nd. The Harrison boys turned a double play! Proud mommy moment! Then the next batter, the catcher (not Drake, he was still in left field), threw the ball to 2nd and Gunner tagged the runner tryingt to steal! YEAH!! I guess that was the highlight of the week.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend, stay safe........
