Another year....another season of VMHS football and my dad's retirement party

I truly believe some of my children's strongest memories are going to be from this field.

Our annual pic on the field.

John's biggest fan.

My dad retired very quietly. So they decided to celebrate him at a football game.  It was perfect.

It was a big surprise for him...

The girls snuck into the cheer camp. They had no idea what they were doing but loved the pom poms!

Ruby and Charlotte were ENAMORED with the girls

One of my favorite pictures of Ruby.

They had big blow-up heads of Papa in the crowd

Then they brought back a number of players/students from my Dad's first years.  It was awesome.

Then they made a new award, the CLASS award, given to a member of the community who embodies the heart of Vista.  The first one went to a guy who comes to Vista games every year, away or home and is always heard in the crowd. He leads the fight songs at away games when we don't have the band. A perfect person for this award.

Ethan's birthday...in 2013

So...I have gotten behind on the blog, but was motivated today (thanks Nicole!) to start it back up. I have two years worth to get caught up. :( So here goes...

Ethan had a Saints/Game truck themed birthday party but in order to appease all these princesses, Anne Marie and Raquel added an indoor tea party.

Charlotte approved. :)

Charlie kept adding more and more accessories.  It was definitely her kind of party!

Ethan and Drew, Brees fans for life!

Baby Jack!

Anne Marie joined in with the Brees love.

So, the game truck had to get up their huge driveway.  It took hours. And a broken window.  So the kids spent a good majority of the time watching the game truck maneuver. 

Ruby and Raquel

Still waiting

So photo op time!

Busted out the tractor to try and help.

And FINALLY!

The girls just turned the outdoor TV's into their own dance party

Then it was time for cake!

.......but Charlotte stole his thunder :(
