Flag Football 2012 Opening Day

 Getting their flags on

 First scrimmage (8 plays and 1 hour later...)

 Finally his turn at center

New Jersey

The first day of flag football was indeed a success (meaning no crying and full engagement).  He plays with 4, 5, and 6 year olds meaning he is the youngest and smallest on the team (which is fine by him).  It was truly hilarious to see all of the kids running around the field with little purpose.  Brody mostly played with his mouth guard during practice, but loved chasing down the kids with the ball and running drills.  I am quite sure he is in love with football now!

Happy Birthday Ashley

 Checking out the swag

 Brody's VERY fancy gift to Ashley

 Ready to fall fast asleep

 Birthday girl (don't mind the chocolate tooth!)

Cheese already!

Curly Q

Alison's hair is SO curly and long, I had to take a picture of it for Grandma Jake:)

These boots are made for walking

 Her  new rainboots that she wears everynight in the house...

...along with her red cowboy boots (pants optional)

Having a boy first definately did not prepare me for the many wardrobe changes and shoe obsession!

New Hairdo

 Eating some yummy applesauce

Shhhhhhhhh!!!! 

Alison's hair is FINALLY long enough to fit it all in a ponytail, just in time for summer!

Bedtime!

 Notice the patent leather dress shoes she put on to play some bedtime lacrosse

Some other bedtome routines...topless lacrosse

...and taking all of Brody's books out of his bookcase so he goes insane

Croup

My poor little guy (he actually wanted me to take this picture to show Nana, Papa, and Mimi...).  103.5 temp and barking cough = no fun!
