Start of the Season

Bode has adjusted to life in kindergarten.  In fact, he already has a girlfriend.  Miss Jeanice was telling us one day after school, they stayed after and played on the playground.  Bode was talking to this little girl, who suddenly decides to yell to everyone that, "Bode is my boyfriend!"  We have asked Bode about Jocelyn.  He simply replies, "She's my girlfriend."  Nice.

The start of the college football season could not have been better.  The day began with a tailgate at the USAFA-Colgate game.  Dave (Ashley's brother), Teddy, Charlie, and Dave's friend Dan came down.  It was a beautiful day--not too hot, with a little cloud cover.  Here is a picture of Ashley, Dave, and Dan.
Note Ashley is showing her support for the team wearing the colors of...Auburn?  We need to get the girl some USAFA attire.  Also, can you see the white dot up in the sky?  That's a sky-diver coming down into USAFA stadium.  Dan was kind enough to take a picture of the three of us.  I guess I shouldn't complain about Ashley's colors...
The parachutist is a little closer to the ground in this photo.  I don't know where Bode, Teddy, and Charlie were...probably playing in the street :-)

Auburn played Washington State Saturday night.  What a game (especially since Auburn won).  While we aren't thrilled with what we saw, we are hopeful, as there was a decent running game, and the QB showed some flashes of greatness (and badness, but we'll focus on the positive).  What made the game even more exciting was Bode's enthusiasm for the Auburn team.  The below video is not the best quality, especially the first 30 seconds.  I was trying to hide it, so we could get the audio of Bode watching the final two minutes.  Little guy is full of questions, and doesn't understand everything about the game, but he certainly cheers when Auburn does well :-)
We are heading up to Denver today to watch Sean (Bode's cousin) play in a soccer tournament.  Pleasant day to all.
