Weekend in Rockland

Rockland is where my parent-in-laws moved a few years a go. We worried about Sam and how he would thrive in such a small town, but he has done amazing well, and when asked, he even said he would like his kids to be able to go to the same type of school he went to there. VERY INTERESTING!

Going to a high school football game in a town of about 500, was a big change from the games I used to love at Davis. They take place at 4pm because there are no lights. There are little bleachers like you would see at a child's Field. One thing that is the same: the push and want to win.

We loved seeing Sam play. He does a great job and really enjoys playing. He is always trying to get his team mates going and reminding them that it isn't over yet...whether winning or losing. We had a great time.

We originally went up to Rockland to enjoy the end of John's week vacation, Sam's game was just a bonus. We also enjoyed yummy food, good movies(for those who didn't fall asleep in them), horseback riding, kitties, cousins, and great company. I'm just sad John's vacation is over. It goes by way to fast. I miss him already.

This had to be the crowning moment. My 7 and 1/3 year old son finally lost his first tooth! It was just hanging there, and I asked for just one chance to pull it out. He let me, and it was out! He is super proud...I am sure the one next to it is on its way out too! Money, Money, Money...to bad the tooth fairy is so poor!

Looks like you had a good time. Horseback riding....FUN! Gabe can't wait to lose his first tooth either.

What great pictures! I think Ben will be like Noah in the fact that he still has not lost a tooth. I will have to tell the tooth fairy to start saving up.

Chase is 5 and has lost 2 already. He pulled both of them out himself! The first he did it in one day. After he got money he said that he wanted another tooth pulled so he could get more money!
