Marcus's Basketball Pictures

The Gators!

Easter 2016

We started Easter weekend with some spring cleaning.  Marc brought out the tractor and all the cousins were here to help build a fire.

They all work so well together.

The kids love this work!

Then it was play time...Baylor pulled Gia around in a sled.

The big kids played some badminton.

Quick cousin photo...even Rebel and Lily made it!

Time for an egg hunt!  We put the kids in order of age...Baylor 4, Elle 6, Gia 6, Marcus 8, Emma 9, Olivia 9, Ceci 10, Sophie 12.  Then we let the first one go, counted to 10 and let the next one go...we did that for each kid until they were all out hunting eggs..it worked so well!

Olivia found one in the tree.

Emma has a basket full.

Marcus is checking out Ceci's basket.

Marcus got a lot.

Nice Olivia!

Another Cousin photo.  Lily is a great photo dog!

Look how big Lily is getting!

Ceci and Olivia were checking out their eggs.

Dinner time!  All the cousins have a plate full!

We even died eggs! 

Lookin good Marcus.

So fun!

Pretty color Elle.

All the kids got 3 eggs to die.

Nice Sophie.

Olivia is decorating her died egg with stickers.

Emma wrote Happy Easter on hers.

Love this!

Emma is very artistic...

She made a Seahawks egg!

They all did such a great job!

We woke up this morning with the Easter Bunny treats...he left an E B for Easter Bunny...clever fella.

The Easter Bunny hid eggs around the house for the kids...Olivia spotted some in the kitchen.

Emma found some too.

Marcus spotted some in the bathroom.

Time to see what is in the baskets.

Little eggs.

Pens.

A diary.

Lots of fun stuff!

Everyone was spoiled.

We had to do our group photo of course.

Silly photo...we get a little unorganized without Grami there to lead us :-)

So glad we were all together!  What a great Easter!!!

Flag Football

Marcus and his Wildcats Pop Warner team decided to try Flag Football this year...first was the warm up.

Then play ball!  Marcus is doing a good job on the line this year.

Marcus runs for the quarterback trying to get a sack.

Marcus grabs the flags...nice job!

Marcus going for the sack again.

Marcus blocks for his team mates.

He does a great job blocking.

Good work Marcus.

I love it!

Sometimes he forgets it's not tackle...easy to do!

Marcus's turn to run the ball.

Go Marcus Go!

Keep going Marcus.

He keeps running through even when his flags are gone...way to finish the play Marcus.

Whistle hasn't blown so he keeps going...

Let's try this again.

Hand off from Dayton.

Run Marcus Run!

Dang!  They got my flags again.

Pep talk from Coach Marc at half time.

Play ball again...Marcus grabs the flags...easy as that!

Down on the turf...that actually hurts!

More line work.

Huddle with Coach Popple and Coach Moore.

On the line again.

Look at how fierce Marcus looks.

Marcus right in the middle of it all.

Game over...

Good game.

Our boys...Front Row Jacob C.  Back Row Jacobe, Dayton, Marcus, Trestin, Layton, Brody and Jackson.  We were missing 3 players yesterday, Orion, Jacob B. and Kyle.  It's been a lot of fun but I think these boys are ready to get back to tackle.
