DREW IS IN JR HIGH AND TANNER 5TH GRADE FOOTBALL

WHERE DID THE SUMMER GO????? went fast didn't it!

It's hard to believe Drew is in 7th grade this year! And at the High School too.  I've had a harder time dealing with it than him. He's growing up! :(
Only trouble he's had is with his locker combination. He said its EVIL. omg too funny! We bought one so he could practice over the weekend.
He was also recommended for the Pre-Algebra math class. They picked like 8 kids from Central and Drew was one of them. SWEET. He was a straight A student last year though.
He also has to ride a bus to n from school.
I take him to school or the bus stop n he walks home from bus stop. Because Im at work til 5:00. Bancroft park is the closest bus stop from where we live. There or City Hall... 
Why don't they have one at Central School?? Crazy Huh!
I went to River View, so we had a seperate Jr High.
 Tanner ready for his first practice in pads. First year of 5th grade tackle.
practicing with big brother



and dad too
another sideways pic?? whats up...lol

He was glad he rode it, after the initial shock of taking off that fast! lol
Check out his face on take off.  u can't see mine because of jerk in fronts arms up. Which we were told not to do!! Then he's smiling on 2nd landing pic!

 Tanner n I also rode the Millenium Force. Along with The Raptor, Iron Dragon and rides Scott n Drew rode.
  Scaredy Cats!! They only rode the Mine ride - that ride beats you to death, Old cars & Horses.
Drew also rode the Swings n Iron Dragon.

Drew got this huge snowcone while Tanner n I were inline for the rides. yummo
