Time Flys When You're Having Fun!

The song "It's the most wonderful time of the year" is playing in my head as I write this post. No, not because I am ready for Christmas. Not at all. It is because we at the Minniear household LOVE FOOTBALL and being football season, it is the most wonderful time of the year around here!
Two of our boys, Logan and Isaiah play football for their school teams.  Isaiah is in the 7th grade and plays for the Dragons and Logan is in 10 grade and plays for the Knights.
Right now, we have 4 football games a week.  Yep, 4.  Four.  Quatro. Good thing we love it!
Here is what my week looks like every week.......
Monday - Logan plays a JV game, Isaiah has practice
Tuesday - Isaiah plays an A squad game, Logan has practice
Wednesday - both boys have practice
Thursday - Isaiah play a B squad game, Logan has practice
Friday - Logan plays the Varsity game, Isaiah has practice.
Whew!  Saturday we watch Ohio State Football and Sunday we watch the Colts.
Then we start our week all over again!
Here are some photos from a few of our games in the last month.  Oh, did I mention, I shoot the JV and Middle School games too?

Isaiah, #24 on the field

Can't forget about our sweet Middle School Cheerleaders.  They love to have their pictures taken too.

It was a privilege to be invited to play in the Colt's Horseshoe Classic August 27, 2011

Thanks for stopping by!  Leave me a note to let me know you were here.  I'd love to come and visit your blog!

Pumpkins & Pizza

The boys carved their pumpkins about a week ago. They had a few friends helping them.












My Halloween candy basket ready for trick-or-treaters

How about a slice of Pizza? Isaiah wanted to be a slice of pizza for Halloween. We went to the craft store and bought craft foam and paint. We painted, cut and hot glued ourselves a delicious slice of pizza. Papa Johns donated the hat/pizza box!

A Trip Down A Country Lane

I LOVE fall color. This past Friday I had a little time on my hands so I decided I would wander around a few country lanes near my home. Here is a little of what I saw.
.
This is what we see when we turn right out of our neighborhood.


Got stuck by this train so of course I had to photograph it.






Scrap metal near the bridge. I like the blue paint with the yellow and green leaves.


Love this bridge. Don't exactly love driving over it though. That's my truck down at the bottom of the hill.












This is the field behind our house, across the street from the pond below.


I'm totally not kidding, the trees are red. This is the pond behind our house. I photograph it often so it might look familiar.


My favorite corner of my backyard

Total Randomness

Today I'm coming up for air. I've been taking fall family pictures for clients, editing their pictures, ordering their pictures, shuffling my kids to dr. appts, sports, school, church, etc. And all the while neglecting my blog. I stayed up late last night getting the last of my "work" workload done so I could work on a new blog post and cut grass and rake leaves today and take 2 kids to the dentist and watch kid #2 play football tonight. I went through several folders of pictures and gathered a variety for your enjoyment.

I'll call it
OUR LIFE.....
