USC Baby!!!
Yesterday was the big USC v. Ohio State game...I have been sick all weekend, so we didn't party too hard (ha ha), but we got our annual pictures of the boys in their USC garb. We walked all over Ohio State (35-3 was the final score!), and we maintained our #1 ranking! Fight on!!!!

Jack took this picture with my SLR camera...he did pretty good!

Jack Jack wrapped in our USC flag...it can also serve as a cape, if need be :)

I love this shirt!!

The boys doing their "fight on" signs :)

Colby trying to do the "Fight On!" sign!

Kaleb ordered this big flag...Colby really didn't get the whole idea of standing up..Kaleb was squatting down to take the picture, so Colby was squatting down. Gotta love the 2 year old mind!

First Homework Packet
Jack had his first homework packet this week...I was clearly the most excited person in the house :) lol...As you can see, the letter of the week was "J" which Jack loved of course. He did his homework packet all at once. He got to take in something that started with a "J" to school the next day, and he chose Jello :)

My big boy doing his homework :)

Of course little brother needed to do homework too, so he colored...

I was trying to capture how crazy his hair was this day. Most days he has crazy hair, but this day it was extra crazy!

Angels/Yankees Game
On Monday night we had tickets to the Angels/Yankees game. We made it all of 2 innings, but that seems to be the norm this season.

I think Colby was eating some peanuts here, but he sure looks mad!!! He has a lot of funny facial expressions he gives...

9/11
Here is my class on 9/11. The entire school did the flag salute together & then sang some patriotic songs. It was a great day to wear red, white, and blue!!!

Junior Decorating
Last weekend we decorated up our friends' house with Junior stuff. They are a split household--some like Junior & the other Jimmie Johnson. So when they were out of town, we decorated it all up with Junior stuff, our favorite driver. We made the sign, drew a big 88 on the sidewalk, and put up balloons anchored with "AMP" cans, which is one of Junior's sponsors. It was a lot of fun & they were excited about it :)

September is Upon Us...
Wow, September already. 2008 is flying by. I am excited as we move into fall (although weatherwise, it doesn't feel like summer is done!). I love, love, love fall. Pumpkin patch, halloween, decorations, pumpkin carving....all so fun! Kaleb started his new school year this week. He started his 9th year of teaching, and switched to 5th grade this year! I went back to work too, and as I had hoped, my 24 boys matured a little bit! Jack had his first week of 3 days of preschool, and is loving it! Colby is getting back into the routine at Kai's and being a good boy :) We also went to church today & want to start getting back into that routine. We signed Jack up for AWANA on Wednesdays at the church & Kaleb is going to volunteer....Oh, and as for me--I chopped my hair yesterday! It's shorter than I would like, but change is good sometimes :) I thought we all looked so nice today, that I wanted to get a few photos in our gorgeous front yard Daddy worked hard on all summer!
