We were cleaning up our yard and our neighbors yard today and the kids had a ball playing in the yard. It looked like so much fun, some neighbor kids joined Sarah and Nick. You can see all of the images from today's fun here: Leaf Fun

Holy Sports Week

Wow, Nick and I had a great week for sports. Last weekend, we saw the Bills play the Titans, and then Tuesday night, we went to the Vols basketball game and finally, last night, we saw the Vols play Vandy in their last home game of the year. While, the Bills got spanked by the Titans, and the basketball game was so lop-sided we walked out at half (score was 66-10), the football game was a good one.

Our view from our upper deck seats. Hey, when they are free, it's hard to complain. And when the game is boring, you don't feel bad about walking out.

Our seats for the football game were really great. Also free thanks to our neighbors. Thanks Gaylors!

And lastly, Nick found his dream car while walking back to our car after the football game.

Buffalo Bills Football

We at wings on Saturday night in preparation for our trip to Nashville to watch the Bills take on the Titans on Sunday. Well, it looked liked the Bills QBs ate too many wings as they threw more touchdowns for the other team than they did for their own team. Horrible, horrible football.

Well, at least the weather was perfect. I mean we could not have asked for weather this fine in mid-November. 70's and Sunny with a slight breeze. Holy smokes it was nice.

We went with our friends, Tony Woods and his sons Hutson (Nick's football teammate and friend) and Jakob. The boys had a ball and we had great seats. We had 3 seats on the 14th row on the 4 yard line and 2 seats on the 50 yard line a bit higher, but still in the lower level and under cover and in the shade. We left early, ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel on the way and still got to the field in plenty of time. We stayed for the whole game, even though it got ugly at the end and then headed back to Knoxville, but did stop for dinner on the way. The boys were great and we all had a ball.

Beautiful Day in Knoxville

It was a great day today in Knoxville. Very pleasant with lots of sun and Nick even put on some shorts. I am not sure what they were doing when I got home from work, but I think it was some version of cowboys and Indians like I used to play in the yard many years ago, so I got the camera out and got a few images. Sarah looked cute with her UT jersey and hair braided.

Roanoke VA Soccer Blast

Sarah and I had a blast in Roanoke at her last tournament of the year. Yvonne and Nick stayed in town to allegedly look after her dad, but from what I understand, she went to the UT Football game, went out to dinner with her sister and who knows what else she and Nick did. While the cat is away, the mice played. Oh, and I am sure she did take good care of her dad as well.

Anyway, Sarah and I had a good time in Virginia. It was a bit of a long drive (4 hours) to go play soccer, but we stayed in a nice place and Sarah got to spend a lot of time with her soccer friends. We had several girls over to our room to watch movies on the laptop, while dad watched football on the large, in-room HDTV.

Sarah played well on the field and her team came up a goal short of making it to the finals. No complaints though as Sarah continues to improve each time out and if you look at the images below, you can even find her smiling. She really seems to have fun playing.

Sarah is one tough soccer player!

Sarah really impressed me this weekend in her 3 games. She was tough as nails and is showing improvement each time out. And, I see her smile on the field more than anyone else. What can I say, I am proud of her hard work.
