LAKER NATION

If there were ever a kid who played with his heart, it's Cal. He puts it in everything he does, but when it comes to football, he's extra passionate. He plays on both sides of the ball. RB for offense and OL backer on defense. He plays rough, tough and ran the ball for victory many times. He is an amazing athlete.

Oliver on Freshman team. He plays the same positions as his big bro and likes to follow in Cal's footsteps.

Oliver for the tackle

Cal gets a lot of media attention. Such great photos! I'm grateful.

As of right now we are 7 wins to 1 loss. We lost to West Linn and they are notorious

for bad refs and their players unsportsmanlike.  This Friday is Civil War, the battle of the Lakes. Lakers vs Lakeridge. We hope to win!

 

Back to the Books/Fall 21

First day back to school. I'm always the most excited.

Big frosh on campus. Oliver left junior high behind and stepped up to the big leagues. Oliver stands 6' 3". He may appear unruly, but this kid has a big heart.

Junior at LOHS. Varsity athlete and straight A student. Cal works so hard to achieve his dreams.

This little lady graduated from elementary last spring and walked the bridge to junior high and tweener-ville. Next up, teenage hormones and moods.

Oliver camping with friends Labor Day weekend at Caterpillar Island. The axe is a bit concerning.

Coco riding Sassy. She's learning to ride English.

Drag the Gut. The annual car show in McMinnville where if mens penises could talk it would sound like a revving engine.  

Grandpa joined us for the fun.

Cal and Oliver drove J-P's jeep down the main street.

The walk to the bus. Coco has a follower. Molly our cat likes to make sure she gets there safely.

My nephew Wyatt and his beautiful bride coming out of the temple.

My favorite auntie! I look just like my Aunty Sue and have very similar personalties. 

Cal turned 17! Whoop-whoop! Birthday breakfast for the Birthday boy and his friends.

4 days later Coco turned 12!

Birthday sleepover

HOMECOMING 21

The Homecoming parade around the high school.

Oliver looking dashing with his favorite bros. First Homecoming for this young lad.

Suspenders and a bowtie are not as easy as they appear.

The awkward corsage. So much easier than pining it on girls chest.

Oliver and Lilah

Oliver, Lilah AND Napoleon. What's HOCO without a really cool, debonair alpaca? 

It wouldn't be the same.

He loves me, what else can I say?
