Senior Picture Sneak Peek

We had our first senior photo session this last weekend. And it went surprisingly well considering Levi isn't big on having his picture taken :) He is so handsome though, every picture was great! Not to mention my great photography skills and Elindsey's photo enhancing abilities!! We all made a great team!

SCHOOL DAYZ!!

We have embarked on a new experience this year. We decided this year that we would home school our 3 youngest! They have beg and beg and we decided to give it a try! It has been really great most days, and YOU ARE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!! on a few rare occasions :) I won't say that it has been a walk in the park, had a few meltdowns during the first couple of weeks. But as time goes on, we are getting the hang of it and having a blast. Some days I think that I am learning more than the kids! I was one of those that memorized for the tests, got great grades, and then immediately forget everything I learned! So I am like, Wow, Did you guys know that the earth was round??!!

SENIOR NIGHT PART 2!!

Here is a few pictures from Senior Night! Thanks to Kim for the photography. She had to zoom in from way up in the stands, so if they are a bit blurry, it is no fault of the photographer. :) We had a great weekend with the Wakers!

This is the cool helmet that the team runs through before every home game. Us parents got to escort our boys through it and out onto the field before the game. We decided to walk though ;)

Olivia is all excited to hear her brother's name announced. Levi's announcement read,

Levi Altringer #8
escorted by his parents Andy and Kris Altringer.
After high school Levi hopes to attend college and play
 football. He wants to thank his parents and his
 coaches for all their time and commitment
and ultimately, Jesus Christ, because without
Him nothing would be possible.

Levi was voted at the beginning of the season as one of the permanent team captains.

In this picture it looks like time stood still for only Levi!

Levi's just a bit bigger than the referee.

Levi was actually saying to the ref, "you like that play huh? It's unstoppable!" The ref thought it was funny. :)

We went on to win the game 63-17. Levi had 2 passing touchdowns and 2 running!! WOO HOO!!

SENIOR NIGHT!!!

Tonight is the last home game of our regular season for Levi. It is senior night, the night when all of the parents go down on the field with their senior player to honor them. This is Levi's 9th tackle football season! I think that he was born with a football in his hand. Not sure where he gets it :) I think that he wore that Dallas Cowboys football uniform for about 8 Halloweens in a row! I can't believe that he is a senior in high school! Where does the time go?? We are so proud of the Young man that he has become. Such an easy going kid from the time he was born! We are so excited to have my sister Kim, her husband James, and their son Colton here for the weekend to visit us! They will get to watch the all the boys play this weekend! And of coarse, Olivia Cheer :)

SWEET THIRTEEN!!

Well I officially have 3 teenagers! My little (not so little) Drew Bug has entered the official teenage years. My oldest will be entering the Roaring 20's soon, so for 3 short months I have 3 teens :) At Drew's request we had Mom's famous peanut butter fudge pie instead of a traditional birthday cake. It is a family fave!!! He was very excited about his new Duck gear! We Love Our Ducks :) (for all you Beaver fans)

GRAND PARENTS?!?!

Well it has been so long since I have posted that as I go through my pictures of the past year I am overwhelmed with which to post first! So I think that the most important thing is that we are going to be grandparents! I am much too young for this aren't I?? Linz and Mark are going to be welcoming Patton into this world in January and we are all so excited! The miracle of life. There is nothing like it in this world. Elindsey is going to be such a great mom (she learned from the best! HA HA) It is so exciting to see her little belly grow. Brings back memories of when she was growing inside of me! Can't wait to meet you Patton!!!!!

Tune in for some overdue posts from The Altringers!!! It's only been a year! One big crazy one! New posts will start tomorrow I promise!
