Go Buckeyes!

When I was younger, we always watched college basketball, perhaps it was because we (my brother, sister and I) all played basketball. My dad would love to watch March Madness. I still like March Madness and I love filling out a bracket and competing to see if I can pick more wins than Ron, but I would almost rather sit down and watch a good football game now.

I'm not sure what has changed. Ron would say that his old saying, "Marry them young and raise them how you want them", worked. He might be right, in part, he did introduce me to football. He was a high school quarterback and so he was also able to explain the game to me. I don't understand it all, but it is fun to watch.

Four of the six of us are true Buckeyes, born and raised. Ronnie and I were born out of OHIO, but we still call ourselves Buckeyes, in fact Ronnie gets offended when you tell him he is not really a Buckeye. Don't confuse the kid.

We are excited that it is football season again. We love our Buckeyes. We may not be able to watch as much this year, but we will still cheer for our team. One of the things I remember Ron telling someone when I was pregnant with Maddie was that now we have 4 kids we have enough for the O - H - I - O! That will be the next picture, as soon as Maddie gets big enough to be the little O. Enjoy our little buckeyes!

I was never real big on cheerleaders, but Maddie sure does make a cute one.

It may take her a little time to be as enthusiastic as the boys.
