Monumental  play of the game

Nail biter to the end... not a good game but still a win!

I have my  "catcher arms" out!

Trying to throw it to Doug...behind him!!

Future ISU player...or maybe band member.

Noble even took a few snaps with B

Maybe a game of "Monkey in the Middle" !?!





B Man's FAVORITE part of the game!!

B Man and the REAL CY

Listening to the band play in the tailgate lots...we also HAD to follow to MANY different stops!!

This was really nice that this member take a moment with B

I guess we need to work on THROWING the ball.....

and CATCHING!!



Whose turn is it now?!?!

Father and Son...my two favorite men!!

We are SO FORTUNATE that we go the games with some amazing people. Win or lose we have an awsome time hanging out with these guys...they also help entertain little guy....BIG PLUS in my book!!  B Man is so lucky that the two big kids are willing to accommodate him. Thank you C and T for letting Mr. B follow you around and including him in your games....he will always remember that you thought he was special enough to show him how to play and gave him your time!!  You are both OUTSTANDING young men...your families should be proud!! 

The Cyclones finished the year (6-7) at the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis...too bad we lost to Tulsa after we beat them 38-23 at our home opener.

ONLY 198 DAYS UNTIL KICKOFF!!

"Crazy" Week at Daycare

In November  B's class had a week of "crazy" .....

Mismatch day

Crazy hair day

Inside out day

Crazy hat or in our case FAVORITE hat day

The fifth day was the class did many different things out of the norm...like walking backwards. I love they do fun things like this in his class!

Tom Turkey

Each kid in B Man's class was given a feather to take home to decorate for their classroom Thanksgiving Tom Turkey...any way they wanted. I ran to Wal-Mart on my lunch to get supplies.  Mr. B had tons of fun designing...what kid wouldn't when they can go wild with glue, sequins, and glitter!

Just a drink before I get started

HUMMMM...how should I do this?!?!?!

I'll start with some glue...

add some glitter....

and finish with sequins!!

He did an excellent job!!!

See my MASTERPIECE!!

The  classroom Tom Turkey.

As you can see the feathers were done with colors/markers, stickers, leaves, feathers, and FINGERPAINTS!! Another parent had made the comment about his being "over the top".  It hurt that others thought he was showing off....B had a great time making his feather and he did it ALL BY HIMSELF with the materials I gave him!! I wanted to be catty and tell them I guess his mommy REALLY LOVES HIM but I DIDN'T and said they are all unique! 

The hat he and his classmates got to wear for the day before Thanksgiving!!

Gobble, Gobble

Happy 2nd Birthday!!



I was able to get off work early on B's special day to be there in time for snack after nap.  He LOVED being the center of attention and having his birthday treats. We then hurried home since Casey was waiting so we could go to the only place you can celebrate turning the BIG 0-2....CHUCK. E CHEESE!!  

Peek at this sweet  little boy sleeping

These are PERFECT for birthday treats!!



When can I eat?!?!?



There is MY BIRTHDAY!!
