1st flag football game

Elijah plays flag football. He LOVES it and Eddie is the proudest Daddy EVER!

Elijah is a wide receiver on offense and is SUPER fast! He is also a corner back on defense. The poor kid stayed on the field the WHOLE game........(I am about to show off) he was the only kid that did not have to 'take a break' on the bench during the game.



Go Chargers!
Waiting for the snap!

Labor Day cookout

One of Eddie's friends organized a cookout for the guys that returned from the deployment. We had A LOT of good food.....yummy grilled chicken for me and Eddie said the ribs were great!

Welcome back to Andre.....Jene's husband!
This is Terrance....he threw the cookout for the guys.....wow Eddie looks majorly short compared to him huh?  Really, Terrance is a tall guy though!
Notice the 1 adult that is in the midst of the kids when the pinata broke!  If the black jersey doesn't look familiar check out the next picture.....
Me with no make-up on and Eddie in the above mentioned jersey!  Ha ha ha the man loves candy!

We aren't hermits...

...so I know I haven't blogged in almost 3 weeks. I apologize. I guess since Eddie has been home I have really been trying to spend as much time with him as a family as possible. It has been so nice having him home again. I really can not explain the relief I felt when he walked in the front door for the first time in 6 months.

He completed everything on his 'honey-do' list.....things Elijah broke and I needed hung up.... he he he.

Plus 2 days after Eddie got home, school started again. Now all my teacher friends that read this already understand what that first 2 weeks involves and how blogging is just not happening right when school starts. For everyone else, I am literally exhausted after waking up at 4:30 to workout, come home get Elijah up at 6:30, get showered dressed, fix breakfast, get students into the routines of school again......only to mention I have 2 sets of 28 kids throughout the day, come home cook dinner, eat as a family, help with Elijah's homework (Eddie does most of it actually - while I am cooking), then sit down for about 2 hours with my hubby before bedtime.

On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays Elijah has some extra-curricular practices to be at also. You will see those blogs soon.

P.S. I am not complaining......I am very thankful for my family and work!

So all that to say I will blog this weekend..with pictures :) Thanks for holding on with me :)
