Fort Red Rock

So my posts are going backwards lately...Monday, Sunday, and now Saturday, but this is the last post out of order!

Jeffrey turned 13 on Saturday!!!  He had a paintball party at Fort Red Rock, a paintball park in Bessemer!  He had about 10 friends his age plus my Dad, Brad, and Alex!!  Mom, Emily, Elizabeth, and I just watched.  

Here is the before picture! Notice how clean they all are!

The guys had so much fun and played their hearts out!!  They were exhausted at the end of the day!  And the older guys were still sore the next day :)  The girls kind of wished we had played too -- it looked really fun!

After playing for two straight hours, we had Chick-Fil-A sandwiches followed by cake and ice cream!!  

Here is the after shot!  Notice how tired and dirty they all look!

Happy Birthday Jeffrey!!  I hope this is a wonderful year for you (and that you stay as sweet as you are now even though you are now a teenager)!!  I love you!!

Thursday Night Lights

Every Thursday night for the past 8 weeks, we have been watching the Mountain Brook Junior High Spartans play football!  Jeffrey is on the 7th grade team!

In preparation for the season, the team started conditioning practice back in August before school even started.  Some days they had two-a-days!  Jeffrey actually really enjoyed the practices and loved being on the football team!  

Jeffrey played both offensive line and defensive line at certain points throughout the season!  He didn't get to play all that much but he always did great when he did play!  As he said after one game, "I don't know what everyone else was doing during that play, but my guy was on the ground!"  He is a great blocker!  Here is proof!

Here are a few shots from several different games!

I am so sad that last night was the last game :(  I have loved watching Jeffrey play and going to the games each week with my family!  Thank goodness he wants to play again next year!

Toy Story 3 in 3-D
