New Driver on August 25

-- Sent from my Palm Pre

DeeJay took his driving test on Tuesday, August 25 and passed. Then we went to get his license. I shed a tear that day, both of sadness and joy. Sad that he is growing up so fast and will soon be out on his own and no longer need me. Joyous to watch him grow into a wonderful young man and see all that God has planned for him.

Jay's Birthday

We celebrated Jay's birthday today, we had the family over as usual and everyone had a good time. He received all money as gifts, which for a teenager is always welcome. I love when the family comes over and we just eat, laugh and have a good time together.

Raider Football

On 9/5/08 my oldest son made his 1st ever touchdown! The ball was thrown to him in the endzone and he caught it. I could feel his smile all the way in the stands. Later in the game he sacked the quarterback twice, he was on fire! The other parents asked me what we were feeding him and considering that he is 6'2", 170lbs and eats everything it was hard to say exactly what did it. I was so very proud of his performance and I can tell he was too.

My son's football team was awesome this year (2008)! We have been in this league for 6 years and this was his last year to play for them. We had a tremendous amount of talent, including my son of course, and they not only went undefeated against some very tough teams, but for most of the games the score was 31-0 and we won the superbowl 31-0! Our family has spent every fall with this team and we will truly miss them in 2009. I can't even listen to the National Anthem anymore with out waiting to yell VIKINGS!! at the end of it, like we did at every game. :-)

We are so very proud of my son and his teammates.
