Rochelle and Zac are here for the weekend!

I picked them up at the airport on Thursday. We made a pit stop at the house to unload and then went down to CHS. Pete's team played Grant. The game ended with the score at 56-6 with Canby up. Pete scored the third touchdown of the game. He almost grabbed a pick, it was one of those that you really want back. It was just like a tip drill--bounced off reciever, defender and then Pete got his hands on it. He dropped to the ground and rolled and it just didn't stay in his hands.

Friday, Ron took the day off and we (Ron, Rochelle, Zac and I) went shopping, bowling, played pool and enjoyed STARBUCKS!!! Some of us went to the CHS vs. Grant football game (Canby won) and some of us did not!

Saturday, we went to Danny and Ron's football game. They lost. Ugh. Danny is pretty beat up. Karna and the kids came to the game too (Mike is hunting in eastern Oregon). We are expecting them tonight for dinner and to spend the night with Grandma Bon-Bon (across the driveway).

Tomorrow the family is meeting in Beaverton to go to church (Aunt Kari- my sister too). We have some friends coming for Sunday Dinner and then Rochelle and Zac will be off to the airport. It has been fun and action packed.

Oh yeah, we have played a couple of games of Pinochle too. We all know how to play.

Football Season

Pete is playing freshman football. They are 3-0, a very talented group of young athletes. Danny is playing 7th grade football. Ron is the coach. The team is actually composed of 7th & 8th graders and is considered a "JV" Team. So next year Danny will play "Varsity". So we pretty much eat, sleep, dream, football around here. You know how it is when "dad" is coach. You go early and then are the last to leave the field! Team Carpenter ~ JV Blue is 0-3 (eeeek). Ron hates to lose. We have a pretty rugged schedule and a team that is lacking talent in a few categories. Nevertheless, they will learn a lot this year and hopefully win a bunch of the remaining games (Ron is ever the optimist)!!!!
