agent {colby} banks

knee deep in editing photos....

but had to stop when the brown truck pulled up and the ups guy hopped out to deliver a package from nordys.

i miss nordys.

i really miss nordys.

bryant does not miss me sneaking going to nordys.

the mocha ice storms, tbd section and that woman on the overhead speaker...who is she???

i digress. 

anyway, inside the purty wrapped box was colby's suit jacket and shirt for her wedding. he is the ring bearer. 

bryce was suppose to be the assistant ring bearer but he was uninvited this summer (smart move on the bride's part. i had visions of him pulling the fire alarm at the reception like one of my well-loved nephews who shall remain anonymous did at our wedding.)

after ripping through the packaging, colby slipped on the oh. so. fresh. jacket and shirt.

and it was instant photo shoot time...

 

 

 

 

colby said, "i'm agent cody banks."

dude, you crack me up...

now back to the grind...

the {price} is right...

you know you have a life-long friend when...

she listens to all your issues that God has been dealing with you...the same ones...year after year.

she gives up her (and her husband's) bedroom for you when you come to visit...and leaves gifts for you on the pillow.

she calls you, says "hi. how are you? ok. i've got to go."...and you are completely fine with that because you know that is just how she is.

she, while on vacation, agrees to be a guinea pig for your budding photography business, drags her husband and children in on it and runs all over town trying to find the perfect outfits for everyone...and smiles the whole time.

that's my girl, steph.  

and this is her family--the prices.

rudy {vs.} an officer and a gentleman

growing up as a military brat, i always thought i was going to marry a man in uniform.

and i did...kind of. 

this weekend, the irish played the us naval academy and it was perfect football weather.  i packed heavy coats for us but they stayed in the car.  even though the game did not go our way, i was glad i brought bo with us to capture some moments of the day...

 

why do hot dogs just taste better at football games?

 

i know i have said this before, but colby will sell all his worldly possessions for golden tate.  he stands the entire game with the football in his hand and just watches golden's every move...

 

bryce, on the other hand, would rather taste all the fine delicacies that the stadium has to offer...

 

and kai, well, i know she was wishing she had a book at some point but still managed to get into the moment...

these kids really got into it...

there were about 10 rows of naval students in the stadium. i hate to say it, but they and their band totally rocked the stadium...especially when the band played "hey, baby." navy folks just plain rock.

hey, there was a football game goin' on on the field...touchdown...irish...

where in the world is BY?

i will give you a hint--he is in a white shirt...

fourth quarter is always a nail biter...

can i just say that Jesus probably made the wooden benches at this stadium?

but there is still something special about it...

and colby trying to will his precious irish to a win...

 

alas, that was not suppose to be this weekend.  

but the best part of the game was when both teams walked over to the navy student section and saluted them at the end of the game....

and then the irish acknowledged their #1 fans...

would it have been nice to come out with a win? 

absolutely.

but to lose to a team who have as individuals chosen to lay down their lives so we have the freedom to spend a warm autumn day with our families cheering against them kind of puts the game in perspective.

go navy, go army, go marines and go air force!

up next..the price is right.
