Family Pictures

We had a great time at big rock taking all of these pictures. Megan made everyone just be silly and play around. It was so fun! It is so great to have so much talent in this family. Michael still talks about the half-naked babe being photographed on the side of the bridge. It sure put him and David in a smiling mood for our family pics!!!! I also would love a copy of the picture from Johns game of all of the cousin boys surrounding him - that was really cute! Love Dawn

this past weekend...

was a busy one!

john's game on Saturday:

was frustrating. except for johnnie's amazing sneaky play.
he was supposed to catch the snap or whatever it's called & hold it for the kicker, instead he picked it up & threw a touch down pass! YES!!!!! the first score of the game for our good ole thomas more.

here you can see his foot is definitely in. nice drag john!here is his sneaky score worthy play.
and there is the tiny football & john's throw being blocked by a sweatshirt! doh!


his team in their last huddle.
my handsome brother.
his fan club.
the resch's!
john & his first coach. his son now plays for mt. st joseph's. full circle that he'd be there, huh?
cute moment between david & marge.
david beating up bryan for me. he said something. it's nice knowing i have so many helpful uncles :)
all in all- john played really well for his last college game!

& then sunday was the photoshoot with david & dawn, ryanne, michael & kate. we had such a great time frolicking at big rock. kate was of course the super model & michael felt the first pangs of love when he spotted some scantily(& by that i mean she really was wearing almost nothing) clad woman climbing the bridge with some photographer snapping away.


my favorite of the whole family.ewww.



i had david & dawn being cutesy wootsy...
while the kids snuck up with piles of leaves.

michael is growing into such a handsome man.
i was supposed to do a photo shoot with lauren for her senior portraits, but it was rainy & there was a mess up with my flight, so we had to cancel. hopefully to reschedule if weather permits over christmas break! i can't wait schoogy.

i won't be home for thanksgiving, but i will be home for two weeks at christmas. cousins- dont' forget about cousin night on the 22nd!

miss you all. muah!

Jackson Noe!!!

Brad just sent a lot of us this article, but I thought it was worthy of posting on here! Way to go Jackson- grandpa is smiling very proudly on you!

The disappointment that surrounded eighth-grade St. Albert football player Jackson Noe when he broke his collarbone in the first game of the season was nowhere to be found yesterday.Jackson, part quarterback, part running back, part everything, propelled St. Albert to victory at the 59th Toy Bowl at Trinity High School’s Marshall Stadium.

“He’s an incredible talent. So the idea was, just give him the football,” St. Albert coach Randy Smith said after his squad — which was 2-4 during the regular season without Jackson — beat Notre Dame Academy/St. Paul 32-0 in the Catholic School Athletic Association Class AAA finals.In the final game, St. Albert continued its hot streak by blanking Notre Dame 32-0 in the AAA finals, for the largest schools. St. Albert led 22-0 at halftime, as Jackson scored on runs of 64 and 45 yards. He also played defense.

After the win, St. Albert players couldn’t find a big cooler to dump its icy contents over Smith’s head, so they used water bottles to douse the ecstatic coach.St. Albert finished the season 5-4; Notre Dame was 7-2. Smith heaped praise on Jackson. “It’s not every day you find a kid that fractured a collarbone and come back at this age and have that courage,” Smith said. “He came back and you’d have never thought he got hurt. Most kids would come back and shy away from contact. He couldn’t wait to hit somebody.”
