Friday

Hi. It's Friday once again. Which for me means, cleaning house and grocery shopping. Rick will be home around dinner time, just in time for all the kids to be here. He'll be thrilled. haha, NOT! Oh well. I can't tell if its going to be nice out today. Probably hot and sunny, the weather people said it was supposed to cool off but it hasn't happened yet. Hey, Jayne, why don't you plan a trip here and then it will for sure snow or frost or something when we of course don't want it to. haha. We might even get a hurricane out of it. Remember, Ivan and we were getting our toes done. Anyway, Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Crazy Busy Thursday

Hi. Today was crazy busy. Had a good day with my 2's. They're so sweet and fun, I love them! After preschool, I checked the boys out of school and took them to see Kate's pep rally. I think Jack was amazed at what he'll get to be a part of next year, Joe could have cared less, he just wanted to know if he could get something from the vending machine. Kate and the dance team looked great. After the pep rally, the boys and i ran home to see Ralph and let him potty, checked email, ate something quickly and then hopped in the suburban and went back to bumpus for the games. The 7th grade won and the 8th grade was winning when we left at half time. Kate wanted to get home so she could start cleaning room. She is having people over tomorrow night and I told her to get her room clean. I'll be cleaning the basement and making food for her friends so I won't have time to work on it. Jack has a football game on Sat. Joe has a birthday party sleep over tomorrow night and that's about it! Oh and Rick will be home tomorrow late afternoon! Finally! We miss him.

Love to all of you!

Happy Hump Day.

Hi.

I had this whole post ready to go and then something happend to it, totally annoying. So I'm going to try again. This will be the condensed version. Took Joe to the dentist this morning. He walked away with one cavity and its small and in the back, he'll get it filled next month. He was jazzed that he got a new tooth brush which he promised to use and some funky sticky toy thing from the box. Jack didn't go b/c he was home sick again. Hope he is better tomorrow b/c there is a Bumpus home game and he isn't going if he isn't better.

I've been hanging out here at home today, sewing some things and not having much luck. I just cleaned everything and put the sewing machine away. Some days are just like that.

Hope you're having a great day. it's hot hot hot again today, we are all ready for some nice crisp air to breeze in here. We still have a few weeks left.
Hi. Blowing Bubble

Tuesday

Hello,

Had a great day at preschool. I love my kids this year! They are so great. I have a new boy b/c Jorge dropped out, his name is Russle. He is doing the two's room again, ,last year he was with Miss Becky and Miss Laura. This year, he is with me. He is very sweet and very much into bugs! Fun. Jack stayed home from school today. He had an upset stomach but seems to be fine now. Kate has dancing tonight, we have to pick her up from dance team in 20 min. The moms are preparing spirit buckets for the girls. they'll get them on Thurs. I've decided I'm going to make cute coozie covers for them in blk/wht/ orange. I have been wanting to make them for some time now and this is a good opportunity to do it. Fun!

It's super hot here, i'm so ready for cooler weather and less humidity. That's about it.

ttys:)

Hi

Hello. Just a quick post before I get started with my day. Not much to write about. Looks like the sun is shining but I think its going to be hot today. Kate's pink ladies spirit day outfit was a bust, it didn't work. tomorrow is camo day so hopefully that won will work. Today is preschool, and kate has dancing which means the boys and i will spend some time at the library this evening. Have a good day.;)

Hi. Just got home from subbing in the m/w twos room. It is always fun working with Becky and seeing all the m/w twos. It is really hot here today, i have to say, i'm very ready for the weather to cool off, not cold, just 70, that would be so nice!

rick left for orlando this morning, jack has football tonight and kate was dressed really cute for spirit week. i'm going to eat something for lunch and say hi to ralph. hope you're having a good monday.

Sunday


Hi.


Well, today was the first day of Sunday School for the kids, sooo, that meant that we all had to be up early as mass is at 8:30am. I had to make the rounds to pick up kate and Jack at their friends houses but we made it there on time. All the kids have lots of friends in their classes which is great. Rick and jack are at football practice now, Kate is taking a nap and Joe is going to the ball park with a buddy. I have to straighten the kitchen and finish the laundry. Not sure how it has gotten messy again but it has. I'm working tomorrow for laura, in the other two's room. It'll be fun to work with Becky. I miss not working with her even though I love my little class. So if you don't hear from me until late on Monday, that's why. Jack has football in the evening and Rick will be out of town for a national meeting. His company is getting ready for a big launch of a new drug, that's why there have been so many meetings recently. We'll be happy once it's all over so he can be home again. Thankfully we are busy busy so our weeks go fast. have a great Sunday and a good Week. I think this might be the first day of fall. how fun!

camp cosby











Rick and Jack had a good time at camp cosby. Here are some pictures.

Is Rick the coach?


Last night before the game, we stopped into the buc hut which is the store set up at the ball park with all kinds of fun hoover merchandise. rick has been wanting a bucs shirt for sometime now and they had them there so we bought him one and a t shirt for joe. they both changed into their new threads at the game and a later on in the game when Rick was in the rest room, this little boy asked him if he was the coach. haha. so cute. Rick told the truth, yes, he was the coach of the hoover bucs. naw, i'm just kidding. he didn't lie, he said he was the quarter back. okay, no he didn't say that either, he just said no he wasn't. sweet boy.

Check out my Slide Show!

New Key Board

Hi! This is very exciting. I have a new key board for my computer. the past couple of weeks, I've had to type from the kids key board up stairs so hopefully, I'll be a better emailer and I'll post more on the blog.

Last night was fun. It was homecoming for Hoover. It's kind of fun the way they do it. The game is at regions field where the AA baseball team plays, the dance is there too so all the kids end up coming to the game after their dinner and such. yes, they are dressed up and it is really fun to see all the girls in their pretty dresses and the boys look so handsome in their button down shirts and ties. the homecoming queen and her court is announced after all the nominees are introduced, so they don't know who won until half time of the game. I can't really remember how it worked when i was in school but it seems to me, we knew who the queen was before the game and the parade. anyway, it was fun, hoover won and everyone had a good time.

rick and jack had fun at camp cosby. jack is exhausted today so i think he is going to just hang out here and watch football on tv. we were going to go to the alabama game but we are all tired and i have a lot to do here so the tv is looking pretty good. jack has a birthday party tonight.

it is a beautiful day today, i've put all my fall decorations out along with new pumpkins. my garden has perked up with the recent rain and the cooler weather.

oh, i almost forgot to tell you that i took a day for myself yesterday. i bought myself new shoes, steve madden's that were originally 70.00 i got for 19.00!! whoo hoo. also bought new jeans and a new top. took time out for a pedi and i have beautiful eye brows once again! also, bought new sheets that were originally 50 and they were marked down to 25. so i had a good day yestereday and i'm loving all the sales! next week, i'm going to the spa. my neck is killing me. not sure if we need a new mattress or if we need new pillows but i know i can't do this much longer with my neck. ouch!

bye

ps. roll tide roll. roll over georgia!

Running in Circles

Hi,

I have literally 5 min. to write. yesterday, i worked for Valerie in the 18mo room. let's just say, they missed their regular teachers as margaret wasn't there either. Theresa and I just kept looking at each other with scared looks on our faces! haha. I was so tired when I came home, I had lunch and then fell asleep on my sun porch.

Kate had dance last night , Rick and Jack are at Camp Cosby. Rick called once yesterday and said he has taken lots of good pics of Jack and I think they're having a good time. I'm off to preschool today, since I'm used to my routine in my room, it should be a good day. We are paintnig with brown finger paint to make a bear. Rick's mom will be here this afternoon so she can see Kate dance. We'll head over to the game when Joe gets off the bus. Never a dull moment around here anymore.

Weather has been great, perfect actually! Hope you're all doing wonderful.

Love,
me

jack's game

Hi! The Panthers are undefeated! They won 10-0 and Jack had 3 great tackles. What a fun game.

Kate went to dance and I sent Joe to the school's open house with my friend, Andrea. He was happy to be there and I was sad i couldn't be there but I just can't be every where at once.

Rick and Jack leave tomorrow for Camp Cosby. They are both packed and ready to go. I know they're going to have fun.

Ralphie is happy to have us home and it's time for night night.

Sleep tight:)

Tuesday

Hi,

I'm finally sitting down to write for today. Kate missed the bus this morning so I had to take her to school on my way to preschool. Jack came down stairs this morning with his jersey on and I asked why he was wearing it, he looked at me like I'd lost my mind and said,"ugh, game day" He is so excited for his first game this evening! Joe is sad because we won't be able to go to open house, Kate will be at dance class and we just can't be every where at once. It is a beautiful day today. Had a great day at preschool. Jorge has dropped out. I will be getting another boy soon, poor Weston needs a friend with all the girls in there. I guess that's about it. I'lll let you know how Jack's game turns out.

Go Jack!

Monday's quote


I saw this quote at my favorite store, Wrapsody in Patton Creek on Friday and it just sort of crawled into me and stayed there. I love it!


"If you live to be 100, I want to live to be 100 minus 1, so i never have to live without you."

Winnie The Pooh


I think it sounds so sweet and I am very lucky to feel that way about my family and friensd!

Jack's class


Jack is in a really neat class this year. We love his teacher, she is so great and this year Mrs. Summerlin's class was chosen to be a part of a technology class. This means, there are several lap tops, digital camera's, plus the regular desk top computers. They will learn how to do pod casts, video casts and things I probably don't even know about. Tonight is their open house and they are going to show us some things they've learned. We are really blessed to be in Hoover, our schools are so great!

This is a picture of his class, I'll try to make it bigger when I go downstairs. He is in the yellow shirt in the middle.

Monday

Hi. Hard to believe that it's Monday again. I've walked 2 miles this morning, it is so pretty out. I have tons of laundry to fold and then I need to go to the grocery store. At least I won't be bored today. We have a busy week this week, lots of games, practices, open house at school, dance lessons and performing. It's all good. Hope you have a great day!!

alabama won yesterday!! roll tide. jack was totally bummed b/c auburn lost. oh well, he really should change teams anyway. red is a much better color for him. ;)

Go Bucs!

Hi. Jack and I went to the Hoover game last night and met up with several friends and saw lots of people. Hoover did great, they won 23-7, the evening was beautiful all the rain we had really cooled things off and it turned out to be a great night for a game. Rick got home around 10:30pm, Kate spent the night at a friends house and Joe did too. Jack slept on our floor b/c he didn't want to be upstairs by himself. This morning we are going to a friend of ours son's football game and then Rick's mom and dad are coming into town to visit for the day. Maybe Midge and I can go shopping, we'll see.

Its going to be a beautiful day, high of 82, almost chilly, haha. Alabama plays Arkansas this evening so it'll be fun to watch that, Roll Tide!

Have a great Saturday.:)

view kate at pep rally

alright. you can see a littel bit of the pep rally if you click on the no image available of the video under k at pep rally. kate is in the last row of the dance team on the left. i know it is not very good but i was in the balcony and i've never used the video on my camera. when i have time, i'll upload the video from the game and hopefully, get the links on there and the other 3 links with kate's current one will be deleted. i'm not even sure what those are.

off to do yoga before i crawl back in bed.

Friday

Okay, I'm working on getting the video of the pep rally and game on line. We made it through the 7th grade game w/o rain, they won but just barely. WE almost made it through half time of the 8th grade game and then the rain hit! It poured but the girls still got out there and did their thing and looked great. We knew the rain was coming we were just hoping it would hold off another 45min, it didn't. We didn't stay for the 2nd half and I don't think they called the game. 8th grade was winning 14-0 at half, I think they must have won b/c I didn't hear otherwise from Kate and she would have heard. This rain is so great. we really need it to save the grass and trees. The drought has been really hard on everything this summer so Humberto is very much welcomed even thought the big match up with Hoover and Spain park is tonight. We'd love to go but I'm not going in the rain.

rick will be home late tonight. Joe has a birthday party and kate will be at her friends. Not sure about Jack. I'm sure he'll figure something out. I'm cleaning today and painting a little. Have to do my yoga this morning. I'll do my best to get the videos on here.

love,
me

Bumpus Game

Hi all. I have like 5 seconds to write. Had a great day at preschool. I love love love my kids this year!! Bad sign, Jorge was not there. I think they are going to give up. His mom isn't ready for this so I think they should just wait a year. We'll see though. Went to the Bumpus pep rally. It was cute and fun, the band was great and all the girls did a great job. Kate didn't start the morning off to well with a computer glitch but I'm hoping things got better for her. She looked cute. The boys will be off the bus in about 10 min. We will head over to Bumpus about 4:00. The game starts at 5 and I want a good parking space. I don't want to have to be shuttled there. My camera battery died on me at the pep rally. I'm charging it now. Hopefully an hour and a half will give it enough juice to get some cute pics at the game. We are supposed to get some seriously needed rain out of the tropical storm that went through Texas today. It's great to have rain but the big Hoover/Spain Park game is tomorrow night. We can always watch it on t.v. but what a bummer to have it rain. I wish it would just rain after the game, all night and through sunday. Next week is homecoming and Valerie, we are going. ;) I wish you guys would come to the Bumpus game. Joe will be bummed if Kendall isn't there not to mention Sam Rhodes!!

I'll hopefully have some fun pictures to put on later tonight.

Love,
me

GO BUCS!

Four Years Later


It took four years but it finally happened. This is Rick tail gating at the opener Alabama game. He looks all crimson in his alabama gear. I'm sure there were 100,000 people that looked just like him.

Hump Day Hi

Hello. We've made it to the middle of the week. I think it rained last night which is so great. We really need it to keep the grass and trees alive. Kids are off to school, Joe is jazzed because the bus they're riding is brand new. It has air conditioning, and music. He was so excited. Last night he said so serious, "I wonder what Miss Wendy did with the old bus?" haha, so cute. he thought that Miss Wendy, the bus driver sold the old one and bought a new one. Joe Joe.

Talked to Rick. He is having a good meeting. He said he got up early yesterday and walked for an hour. He said he saw himself on Jack's football video and he didn't like how he looked, he also said that his hands were stinging b/c they were so cold. He didn't bring any long sleeves with him. His buddy Victor is from Miami and he and Ricked both walked and they were both freezing.

Kate is excited for her pep rally tomorrow and Bumupu's first home game! Yeah!

Have a great day.

House I loved






















Hi. This is the house I loved. It is so pretty. Plantation shutters on every window! Tall celings with arched windows even a circular room. a bedroom/office in the basement, rec room and even a game room in there and full bath. plenty of space for rick's junk in the garage, and a flat top drive for boys basketball and a wrought iron fence so the ball won't get lost down the hill. lots of space for teen drivers to park their cars too. This was a neat house but there are always more houses to choose from but here are some pictures, b/c i know all you girls love looking at houses! love the built in entertainment center in the great room. oh well, i'm sure the people who are renting it will be very happy there. i hope they are at least until next may and maybe they won't buy it and we can look at it again. haha. oh and this was really cool. the laundry room flows off the kitchen which isn't that cool but it also flows into the master bathroom which flows into the master bedroom. you can access the master from the hall off the foyer or from the kitchen area. loved that!

Finally!

Okay, I'm finally having a chance to sit and write for a second. Yesterday was busy! House hunting was fine. I didn't like the first house I saw at all. No screened in porch, back yard was non existent, it was pretty much just a basic house so we just walked next door to the other house I was scheduled to see. I looooovvveeeddd it! It was so beautiful, even though it really didn't have a back yard, what was there was pretty and there was a lot of other space for kids. I called Rick when I got home and told him about it, he isn't here so we planned on seeing it next week. The house has been sitting for a year so whats a nother week. Well, my realtor emailed me and said the owners who have since moved out and probably have another house now, got anxious and worried so they just yesterday worked a 6-9mo lease to buy deal with another family. Who rents a house like that? Weird. Anyway, we really weren't prepared to make them an offer so its probably for the best that it's off the market for now, we'll watch it and see what happens in the spring. It was really pretty. I'll put pics up when I have a chance.

Preschool was fine today. Everyone loved it but jorge. His mother never even left the parking lot, she stayed until 11:30 and then took him home. She is not ready for this but baby number 2 is coming in 4 weeks and she is going to feel bad about holding him because jorge is not going to like her at all! she just needs to keep bringing him. I'm going to tell her on Thurs. Just leave him until 11:30 but you have to leave, go do something for yourself. There is no reason to stay, we'll call if you need to get him. Trust me, we'll call. poor jorge and his mom.

let's see. jack had football last night. kate has dance tonight, rick is still gone and freezing in co. that's about it. have a good day.:)

Monday, September 10, 2007

hi again

hello,

i'm meeting my realtor at 12:15 to see two houses. we're still a ways off from moving but this one has been reduced so i'm curious. i think i might get my hair trimmed. i'll let you knw. that is my exciting day.;)

HI

Hello,

Here we are again, another Monday. Rick is in CO for the week. He called last night and said it was freezing. Seriously, anything below 70 is going to feel freezing to us as we've baked for several long weeks in mega heat. Jack is very sore from football. He was moving very slowly this morning. Everyone got up pretty good and they all made the bus which is a plus for me. I've already cleaned the kitchen and I'm still working on the laundry but I think I'm actually going to make progress around here. I'm going to look at two houses this afternoon. Just look, as Rick keeps reminding me that we already have a house. We'll see. I'll let you know how they are. Tonight is free for us except I just remembered Jack has football but thankfully the neighbor is on his team and his family has offered to take and pick up. Very nice of them. Have a great day.

Trolling for Spa Money ;)

Hi. Does anyone in my family owe me a birthday present? Hmm. I think there are a couple of you out there.. Cash is always accepted and you can pay through pay pal. ;)

spa day

I'm sitting upstairs using the kids computer b/c my keyboard has shorted out some how. Anyway, there is a mirror up here by the computer and I just took a good look at myself and it's scary. Seriously, I'm calling the spa in patton creek tomorrow and scheduling a spa day for myself. Sisters, daughters, mom, friends if you'd like to join me, let me know. I'm going for a facial, massage and reflexology. Ahh, i so need it. I look a mess! it's frightening.

Sunday


Hello,


Rick is on his way to CO for the week. :( He's going to miss the Bumpus pep rally on Thurs, and the Hoover Spain Park game on Fri. Oh well.


Alabama won yesterday over Vandy, huge upset for Auburn. USF won by 3 pts. Alabama fans are very happy, Auburn fans, not so much.


Kate had a great time at Maddie's party. She just woke up so I haven't gotten too much out of her yet but I'm excited to hear all about it.


I think I have what Kate had last week. blah. My throat started hurting yesterday and I just feel run down. Hate that! I don't have time to feel that way. So, this morning, I took mucinex, advil, my iron, b complex with C, it wasn't a good idea to drink coffee after all that. I think it was a little too much at one time. Thankfully, I'm feeling better now.


Today, is laundry and cleaning. Jack has football at 3 and thats about it. This week should be fun and hopefully we'll get some rain. This morning I opened the kitchen window for about a half an hour. It was really pretty outside. We're getting there, I think its supposed to be in the 80's this week so that will be nice.


Have a great Sunday.


Love,

me;)

Back to the Galleria

Had to run Kate back to the Galleria so she could return the items she bought at Hollister you need a flash light to see. She ended up seeing several friends in there and they were all buying new things for tonights party. Hopefully this new outfit will work out okay. She is a crazy girl!

The Weekend

Hello,

It's Saturday and actually its been pretty nice this morning so far. Picked Kate up from her friends house, and then took her to the mall so she could buy something for her friends birthday party tonight. She didn't buy the gift, she bought something new to wear. Must be nice. ;) I need to go shopping for myself, not sure when I'll get that worked in to my life. Joe is still at his friends, and Jack has been up to the culdesac looking for friends to play with. Rick is participating in a work day at his lease, he got up way too early!

Last night Rick and enjoyed visiting with our neighbor, Donna. We had Sanpeggio's pizza and greek salad. Yum. Ralph had fun to playing with Mac and Ben.

Hoover won their game, it is actually embarrassing how much they won by. 59-0. I feel a little sad for the other team that they didn't score one point. I read in the paper this morning that Propts sent home his 1st and 2nd string guys so they could go to bed. I wonder if they all really went home and crawled in bed. Next week is a big game b/c it is the two Hoover schools, Hoover High and Spain Park. We'll for sure be going to that one!

I hope you all have a great weekend.

Friday, September 7, 2007

Friday

Hi. Okay, I think I'm in a better mood to write. The drama that a 13 year old daughter can create is enough to wipe a mom out of commission for a whole evening if not longer. Anyway, all is fine now, the kids aren't home from school yet. The dance team did great last night and they had music! yeah! the 7th grade won 6-0 and the 8th grade won too but I'm not sure what the score was as we left. I have to say the Clay/Chalkville team was giving our Bucs a run for their money. We aren't used to that especially with the 8th grade and they hung right there with them. So, they are still undefeated. Whoo hoo! Tonight Hoover is away so i don't think we're going to the game. I'm sort of in the mood to just stay at home. Kate will have plans and Joe is spending the night up the street with his buddy. Maybe Jack will have a friend over.

Our pantry is full, the fridge/freezer are full, my gas tank is full and I even had the oil changed. I love it when all those important spaces are full.

I'm going to quick swiffer the downstairs before my monkeys get here and make them dirty again.

Have a great Friday and weekend.

13 year old daughters.

Okay, this is all I'm going to say about this but I really don't like 13 year old daughters right now.

good night.

Another good day

Hi. I had another great day at preschool this morning. Jorge did cry but he is making progress. He didnt' cry at all on the play ground and I even got to put him down for awhile. all the kids are so cute. I'm so sleepy. I think I'm really going to have to take a nap, I might pass out.

We are off to Clay/Chalkville this evening and Jack and the boys are off to football.

Back to Preschool


Hi.


Well, another day of preschool is here and today will most likely be a little worse than Tues because now the 2's know that mama is leaving and not coming back for a long time. I'm sure they'll all be okay but Jorge will cry again. Hopefully his mom will come around 11:30ish. That would be great!


Took the kids to school this morning, Jack said he has broadcast but I think he might be pulling my leg, I'm not sure. Anyway, they're there and I'm here and I need to get ready. Jack has his jamboree tonight, I'm sad I'm going to miss it. I have to go to Clay/Chalkville, blah! Bumpus has a game there. Last time we were there, last year, the girls didn't have any music b/c their sound system didn't work. Hopefully we won't have to go through that again. Anyway, Rick and Joe will be at Jack's game and I think all the other games for Jack fall on Tues or Sat. so I won't have to miss any!


Have a great day. Pray for my little 2s that they have a gret day too b/c if they do then I do.:)


Hey, Valerie, I was thinking. You and Margaret only had to work one day this week! Hope it went great.

Kate and Friends



Since I'm the one always taking pictures, and I'm never in any, I thought I'd post one of me. I know its totally dorky but now you won't forget what I look like. I love the beach look. Wish I could have it year round. By the way, how many days 'til PCB? Hmm. I think its time to start counting.

Hoover Bucs in Ohio


Hi, I know I totally borrowed this picture from Valerie's site but I love it! I love when they link arms for the coin toss, totally cool!! I know I know, we're freaks down here about our Bucs but we seriously can't help it.

Game Pictures











Bumpus looked awesome, 7th and 8th won!

Well, the 7th and 8th graders were able to play their rescheduled game yesterday. It was so hot sitting out in the late afternoon sun on concrete bleachers but we did it for our darling children. The football players on both teams looked awesome, they'll be the teams to watch at Hoover High in the coming years. The dancers looked good too even though they didn't have music for their routine. Bummer. Anyway, it was fun to see people and watch a couple of good games. Finally, here are some pictures of Kate who by the way is home sick today. Poor thing has a low grade fever and lots of stuffiness.:(

Today, I have to straighten the house and eat lunch with Joe. Jack has football practice tonight, he is so excited for the jamboree tomorrow. Go Panthers!

For some reason, the site isn't letting me upload pictures so I'll do it later.

Have a great day!!

Back to Preschool

Hi everyone, I had a great first day of preschool with my 2's. They are all very sweet and they all missed their mom's all except Ava. Jorge(horhay) cried pretty much the whole day and thankfully his mom came early. I know he'll be fine in a couple of weeks, this will be good for him and his mom as she is due with their second baby in Oct. It's time for Jorge to break away for a little while. I think I'm really going to like this class. I'm tired right now though.

We are going to try the Bumpus game again this evening. I'm driving a set of girls to the game and it doesn't look like rain so we will probably get the game in. Rick and the boys are meeting me over at the football field.

Thats about it. I have to make Kate's snack so she can eat it on the way. I'll let you know how the game turns out. Hope the 8th graders stay undefeated, they should be you never know.

Labor Day Pictures

Joe at the end of the afternoon. He was so sleepy. This is the cove where we anchored and cooked lunch on Jim's very fancy nautical grill. This was a really pretty cove but Jill and I decided that for the beautiful view, you really need to be out on the main part of the lake.


Jack being Jack and Dillon being sweet Dillon


Jim and the very fancy nautical grill and the not so fancy plastic fork but it worked!
Jack walking away from the rock. He was going to jump because he did it a couple of weeks ago but the water was down and he just didn't feel comfortable which was fine with me, i thought it looked kind of scary.






Labor Day!

Hi everyone. We had a fun weekend, busy but fun. Yesterday we spent the whole day on Smith Lake. It was really fun riding around in the Kent's boat. Smith Lake is so pretty. I'll have pictures later. After our time was up with the Kent's they dropped us off at our friend's dock up there so we could celebrate our friend and neighbor Randy's birthday. We were joking that we were really too cool for all of them because we didn't drive there we were dropped off at the dock. Anyway, it was lots of fun seeing friends and eating lots of yummy food. Tonight Jack has football practice, Kate is at a friends house swimming, I need to get ready for preschool tomorrow. This week is going to be really busy!! Lots of football games. have a good one and i'll post pictures this evening. ;)

SAD DAY IN HOOVER

The Hoover Bucs lost to the Colerain Cardinals today in over time 20 to 17. Oh well, win some lose some.

On a brighter note Alabama is totally kicking booty tonight! Rick called and said that it's a great night for a game and he is having lots of fun.

Nothing New

Hello,

Well, this is a rare occurence but I'm totally by myself, we'll, I say that as I have Ralph whining in my left ear because it is time for his dinner. He is going to have to wait a min. Rick is off to Tuscaloosa in his brand new very sharp Alabama shirt and hat. I have to say, he looked very handsome when he left this afternoon. Joe is at the birthday party and Jack was asked to stay too because the birthday boy has a brother that is friends with Jack. Kate and Maddie are over at friends house hanging out. I worked in the yard, pulled lots of yucky weeds which must be blessed because I'm not sure how they survive during a drought but they do. also, pulled several weird wild cherry tomoato plants. They were whacky. They look just like cherry tomoato plants but they have lots of thorns on them. I tossed all of them down the hill in the back. Now, the kicker, I finally pulled this huge tall thick weed that I'd been letting grow throughout the summer because we were either gone or it was just too darn hot to get out there, after I pulled it, there was this HUGE spider with some weird blue sack under it, probably spider eggs. AHHH! It was awful. I quick tossed the monster weed and ran inside. So, instead of pulling the weeds on the hill in the front, I'm going to buy some wonderful herbacide and spray it. I know, that is terrible but I just don't want to be out there, its too hot and it's just gross and there might be another big spider.

Kate wants me to take her to the Summit tonight, Not gonna happen. That girl. Seriously, she should be being raised by people that have servants. haha.

Anyway, its nice and quiet in my house. I'm going to inquire about the web cast thing for the Hoover game and thats about it.

ps I almost forgot to tell you that Rick and I took the boys to the pet store today to look into buying them a lizard. They've been wanting them for awhile but we just hadn't done it yet. So, we were looking and getting information about the lizards and such. They were 30.00 which is not a big deal, then the whole reptile kit was 54.99, with that you got a tank, heat lamp, water dish and maybe something else but we finally said no when it came down to the lizard eats 12 crickets a day! What in the world! Where would be get 12 crickets a day? Rick was freaking out, putting his hands on his head saying "now we're going to have to raise crickets" haha. Jack was totally fine with it, Joe was mad and said he never wanted one anyway. haha. Thank goodness we didn't have to get the lizard. Who knows what they'll want next.

FOOTBALL!!!





Okay, Today is all about football. We've got the Auburn game tonight, Alabama tonight and the Hoover game which Jack and I are going to watch via web cast. Rick is tailgating all day in Tuscaloosa. We have lots of friends headed down to Auburn for their big tailgating parties. Hopefully the storms will stay away for awhile, even though we need the rain, blah blah blah about that! Joe has a birthday party today and he is very excited about it. Kate has her friend Maddie here and I'm trying to make a deal with Jack in regards to getting his hair cut. I'm so over the long hair. Ahh! yuck! Now that school has started, I just want his hair cut. We dealt with the lice last year and I'm not doing all that crap again. Rumor has it, it's back and in the quest hall and the 5th grade hall so all my friends that check this blog with kiddies in those areas, be checking your children's head. I can't believe its there already. Ugh! Gross.


Anyway, have a wonderful Saturday where ever you are today.


Love,

me
ps ROLL TIDE ROLL & GO BUCS!
