Fall has Arrived!

Well fall has definitely arrived here. The smell of the crisp autumn air, leaves in many colors, the rain... did I mention the rain? The wind blowing, the leaves falling off of the trees. All of the leaves from the dozens of trees in the park now in our back yard. Oh the joy of raking wet leaves.. piles and piles of WET leaves.
Actually it hadn't been too bad around here until this past week. I shouldn't complain. I do love the changing of the seasons. I just really enjoy sunshine. NOT rain. It is hard to believe that only 3 short months ago my children were in the Arizona sun and Steven and I were on the beach in Maui.
I am way behind on my blogging. I made a small dent today at least on the layout and profile pictures. We are off to Cole's football game in just a few minutes. And yes, in the rain! This is actually his very first game this season in the rain. We have been very fortunate.
Maddy's Volleyball season has already come and gone and I haven't posted anything for that yet. The kids carved pumpkins this week and I need to post that too. Oh, and Presley just informed me that Halloween is in 2 days so I will need to post that too. But for now this will have to do. Hope everyone that reads this has a wonderful and Happy Halloween.

Frosh football 2009

Cole is half way through his season and thought I would post some highlights. Starting with some of his biggest fans! Presley! It is so fun to put Cole's other jersey's on the girls and then put his #21 on their face!
Gresham played Central Catholic @ PGE Park. That was pretty cool!
Us girls got it going on ..'ey!

This group looks familar! Go Gresham!


Even Grandpa Lindhorst has made it to a few games!

Playing Defense
Cole is #21

Get him Cole!(this was the Central Catholic game)


Wrap him up!


Offense
Running the ball as a tail back




Cole has scored 3 touchdowns for his team!


This is one of them!



The ball is being pitched to him in this shot



This game Gresham scored 42 points.
When the team scores the cheerleaders do pushups for each point. And when they score again they start at one and go up from there. This games they did alot of pushups. I was impressed at the quality of their pushups when they were on the last 42! Go Gresham Cheer!

This last photo is of Cole playing Defense and intercepting the ball on the 16 yard line with 1:25 left in the game.
Gresham won 22 to 14 over Barlow High School. This was our Civil War game of the year. This is the first win over Barlow in the last 9 years!
We are enjoying watching Cole and his team play.
