The girl has a new dog



Emmy has a new puppy named Coco. He is really cute and so is she.




This is the way the two grandkids looked a very short time ago on a summer day.

The boy goes to school at Hollister and is in the 8th grade this year. It was Boliver that beat them Tuesday. They play Reeds Springs next Tuesday.

Tuesday Night Football




Here is Lane, # 16, before the game already drinking.



Here is the coin toss.




This is sometime towards the end of the first half. Grandpa says you can see from this where he spent most of his time.




Here is one of the better action shots. He is in the backfield next to the ref.





This is the way most of the action shots looked. I had the camera set on night settings. Next time I am going to try sports and see if that will work. You need slow shutter speeds for the low light (night settings) but you need fast shutter speeds for the action shots (sports). I think Lane is behind #7 in this picture. If you click on the pictures, you can see the larger view.


The good news is Lane scored a touchdown, his team's first of the night.


The bad news is they got trounced 50 to 18.


The good news is, Lane did not get hurt.


The bad news is I did not get home till after 10, well past my bedtime.


The good news is, I can go to bed with the chickens tonight.


The bad news is, we have to do it all over again next Tuesday.


The good news is, we get to do it all over again next Tuesday.

Week end kids



The kids were here Saturday. They spent their time racing these vehicles up and down the hallway. First the favorite racing vehicle was the yellow bus that Robert had and Hannah had the tracked thing in front here. Hannah's tracks kept hanging up and Mema was afraid she would get hurt, so I got the yellow truck Robert has here. It immediately became the favorite and Robert claimed it. Hannah would not give up the track for the bus, so I went out and got the red truck from the yard. Still, we wanted the tracked thingy. Finally they got tired and found a quieter game, but kept the track thingy til the end.

Robert has several new words. He says sho-sho for shoe, che-che for TV and cookie is anything that taste good. I am thinking they give him cookies at school. He kept asking for cookie from my fridge. Finally I had him show me the cookie. It was a tomato. He loves tomatoes much more than cookies. He also is posing for the camera now and saying cheese when you take his picture.



Hannah was not posing and does not look so great here because Mema did not feel good and did not fix her hair til it was time to go home. She looks so cute with her hair in a pony tail or pig tails.




But she is still Mema's best girl.





Here is Robert posing with his lip stuck out. He was deliberately doing this for me to take his picture.






Here he says cheese.

Son, George, came down to borrow the camera for Lane's game next Tuesday, but he forgot to take the camera. We will go up Tuesday to take the camera and if it is raining cats and dogs again, we will either just come on back home or I will sit in the truck during the game. We need pictures of the game, but I am not sure anyone else can get good pictures, so I may have to sit in the rain. Maybe I need to go buy raingear.
