Labor Day Weekend – Pictures, tons of them!

I just forgot to do a post about our fun Labor Day weekend.  Kathleen had all the family over on Sunday for brisket and all the fixin’s.  I even made homemade ice cream.  It was a gorgeous day.  The kids played outside – well, kids includes adult kids. 

They played volleyball.  Big and little. Tony brought smooth rocks so the kids could paint them.  Pet rocks.  He sprayed them gray and let them dry for the kids to paint later. Then food!  Lots of  it.And visiting. And more playing. And visiting. And playing and eating!

  Then they painted their rocks. It was decided they would play kick ball.  The rules were a bit – uh – confusing.  While we watched… Explaining those rules. Pitching the ball. Base coach. It was a hit!  RUN! Nice day, very nice!

Action shots

Soccer has started and that means action shots of my favorite subjects, Zachary and Zane.  Zane actually does not start until Oct. 1 but Zachary is up and running (pardon the pun).  And since he is playing most of his games in Lubbock, I have to make sure I get my fill here.  Oh, I will go to Lubbock for a game or two I am sure but for the most part, the three games here will have to do it.  So far I have several good action shots but next time I am getting in closer!  And trying to do more manual adjustments.

He is going to bite his tongue someday! By the way, do you love the white?  I think it looks great but I can just imagine the cleaning for these things with pre-teen boys! Pinched out! This is one of my favorites.  Zachary did  not realize he was going so high for that ball! Zachary plays goalie most of the time.  Scares me to death.  I can just see missing teeth. The next four are in sequence. Look at the tongue!  And the grass flying off the shoes! This position just yells “kick my teeth!”.  Just out of reach! Can’t wait to share pictures of Zane and his head waggle.
