Big Jake after the game!

Look at him run!

Jake's First Football Game

This year Jacob decided to try his hand at football. For the past 3 weeks he is out the door at 6:30am, suited up and on the field by 7:00 ready to go. Tonight the family got to see the fruits of all his hard work. Gene Pike Panthers (in white) faced Medlin Mustangs (in blue). These 2 schools are long arch rivals so this was a big game. Pike held onto the lead until the last 10 seconds barely letting the last and winning touchdown sneek through. Afterwords the coaches told the team they had gotten closer to beating Medlin than any other Pike team in a long time. Still hard to lose the first one! Jake is #7 and played free safety this game. The video is him in the backfield...making the tackle. Way to go Jake!!!

This summer Emma was invited to attend an Art Club. A friend of ours works at the Kimbell Art Museum and has unbelieveable amounts of patience with children and "messy things" like paint :). Each week she would highlight an artist like Andy Warhol, Jason Pollock, Picasso etc. and then let the kids create in that artists style. Emma ate it up and loved expressing herself!

Here Comes the Bride

August 8, 2008
Making a quick trip to Utah for Kaitlin Frandsen's wedding. Glenn's youngest sister surprised us all with...I have a boyfriend...a fiance...and by the way we are getting married in 4 weeks...Happy 4th of July! Needless to say we loaded up the suburban, grabbed Glenn's brother Brett and headed to Utah for the nuptuals. She married Kevin Whitaker and they are now living in Reno, NV. Everything was very pretty and it was good to see the family!
