HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!
I want to start this post by telling you about a fantastic challenge/fundraiser to benefit the American Cancer Society.
I have accepted the challenge to read every day in October to help the American Cancer Society fight for a world without cancer. This is a very meaningful cause for me. ACS has a platinum rating on GuideStar (the highest possible) so give with confidence! Please consider making a donation because every little bit helps. Thank you for your support!
Or join me in this challenge.
You can Donate Here – You can Join the Challenge Here
My life has been struck by Cancer in so many ways. I am a Breast Cancer Survivor. I lost my father to Pancreatic Cancer. I have lost other members of my extended family and too many friends to this dreaded disease. I long for a world without cancer so joining this challenge was an easy choice especially because I am an avid reader.
Again our week was full of sports.
Tuesday we went to watch Thomas play soccer. He really loves playing.
Then Friday night we were back in Columbus for another big football win and it was homecoming. There was a parade earlier in the day and the whole school system had events and dress-up days all week.
In the final series, Kaden was up against a guy who was probably frustrated by the score. First, he got a penalty for “trying to dance with Kaden” or in football terms holding. Then in the next play, Kaden was fierce and pushed him right back. On third down, the guy head-butted Kaden. We thought there may be trouble after the play but see that picture with Kaden all alone. That was Kaden with a big smile on his face leaving the guy behind after he basically put the guy in his place and running off to the sideline.
It was a big night! One of Kaden’s biggest fans was at the game. His cousin Thomas who has just started playing football because he “wants to be just like Kaden”.
His littlest fan was there as well.
His new cousin Athena, just 6 weeks old.
Also, Kaden was given the nickname “Diesel” by one of his football coaches years ago because “you can’t go through him and you can’t go around him”. This year, Mr. Dollycas and I came up with a great way to show our support. Sweatshirts with our names on the back.
Yesterday, it was Remington’s turn. #72 had 2 touchdowns, caught 2 extra points, grabbed a lot of flags, and had an interception too. All in the rain. That kid is so much fun to watch.
When I wasn’t off watching the grands, I was reading, blogging, setting up book tours, and probably watching too much television.

Another busy week around here.
Kaden and Remington started school on Tuesday.
Remi is in 5th grade, Kaden is a Sophmore.
Thomas also played soccer on Tuesday.
These boys get better every week!
The Cardinals were the “game of the week” so they played on Thursday night. Again they couldn’t be stopped and Kaden (74) had some great tackles. As soon as he got on the field the opposing team’s coach made a couple of hand signals and the double team of Kaden was in effect. So essentially he was pushing around about 500 lbs anytime he was in the game. Remi #72 also worked the game keeping players hydrated.
Then yesterday it was Remi’s (#72) turn to take the field for the 1st game of his 5th-grade year. The final score was Columbus 21 DeForest 9. Remi was a team captain and scored 2 touchdowns along with multiple flag grabs. He did a fantastic job as did the other boys. They are going to be fun to watch this year and beyond.
The boys all know Nana needs her hug and picture after the games. Sometimes Papa even gets in the fun. 
Even with all these sporting events I still had time to read and review some great books.

HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!
Oh, it was a hot week! I loved it! but I was in the minority. I have always loved summer; for some reason, it seems to be getting shorter and shorter.
Tuesday evening, we ventured out to watch Thomas #4 play soccer. There was a nice breeze so the heat wasn’t bad. All the boys did a great job. Thomas’s team had another win and he had so much fun he wanted to keep practicing after the game.
Friday night found us traveling almost 2 hours for Kaden’s game. His team again dominated the night. Midway through the 2nd quarter the sky opened up and everyone got wet. The game continued while some of us took cover until the rain stopped. The score at the half was 42 – 0, so the starters sat out the second half to allow the Freshman and Junior Varsity to get some time on the field. They did really well too. With their final possession, the opponents scored and the final tally was 42 – 7. Different from home games we had to wait to see Kaden by the bus. We had to have our post-game hug.
Sadly, the boy’s parents were unable to attend the game and stayed dry by watching the live stream at home. Remi rode with us and did an excellent job of getting the old people where we needed to go, like to the shelter when it started to pour. The air temperature was still pretty warm so it really wasn’t bad. Glad I didn’t spend too much time getting my hair just right, LOL. With my favorite photographer watching from home, I don’t have game pictures this week.
We celebrated Charlotte’s birthday earlier this month when we got together for the Truck-n-Show but her actual birthday was yesterday. Earlier this week she stopped by to get her present from us and Daughter #2. 
I spent the rest of the week reading, writing reviews, and working on blog tours. There are going to be a lot of fun books to escape into this fall so I will have to plan accordingly. Staying up late reading is starting to become the norm.
