HI! Well, we survived our first homecoming. It was really nice and I think everyone had a good time. The weather cooperated nicely and all the kids looked so nice. My house was clean and now it just has laundry everywhere. I'm trying to get caught up. I worked in the baby room today. Our three babies were there, sweet as can be! They are precious. tomorrow is Two's Tuesday. :) Love them too.

I over heard a child ask his father yesterday "who is michael jordan?" haha. his dad sort of chuckled and said, "aww, son he is just a golfer. " haha. he did say that but then he went on to tell him he used to be a really great basketball player. Isn't that funny that kids don't know who he is. I mean can you imagine? He is the best so far to play basketball and to think he was cut from the team in highschool.

Well, I need to continue with my laundry. I hope everyone has a great day on Tues. :)

HI! Homecoming was a success! all the girls look so pretty and the guys sure do clean up nice. Hoover won their game and we had the after party for Kate's group. Everyone had a great time and they were all super good. yay! Now life can get back to normal. Jack had a game this morning at 8:15. His team won too. Now, hopefully alabama will win. :) roll tide. Here are some pictures of last night.

fall preview

HI! Let's see. We had another busy day yesterday. My two's were great! Love them. I came home and fired some orders, worked around the house, took Kate tanning, shopped some more. Ugh! I think I'm done buying things for the house. My best baby buddy gave me two really fun old windows. I painted one for Halloween/fall. Kate had slight melt down yesterday afternoon. She was freaking out about everything being orange and black for homecoming. I reminded her that homecoming is about her school and football and such. She wants to order a cake but she doesn't want it orange and black. I mean, really I don't think a pink floral cake is appropriate for a hooover homecoming party. She did snap out of her freaky mood not long after it started thank god! On our way home from the store last night, Kate dropped off a fun filled bag of goodies on her date's front porch. She called him as we were driving down the street and told him to look on his porch. Haha, he was excited to get a fun present. She wrote on a card that she is excited for homecoming and good luck in the game! Too cute. We never did anything fun like that in highschool. I didn't forget to order Ryan's flower yesterday. Its just white but they only had four colors to choose from. His mom called and told me about Kate's corsage and it sounds sooo pretty. Funnnn!!

Another busy day to tackle! It is so pretty outside. Funny thing, once we put the new air unit in, the weather broke and now it's nice and cool. It is really starting to feel like fall here. I had a great day with the babies yesterday. They are precious and so fun. I have to say, that I love being there, snuggling them and once the mommies come, I'm happy to hand them back and go home. We did lots of shopping last night for last min. homecoming things. We saw lots of girls at the mall buying nerdy glasses for nerd day, shoes and jewelry for homecoming. We got home around 8:30pm and I swear, it felt like midnight. I did get the orange lights on the front porch rails and I put the fairy (icicle) lights on the sun porch. Little by little, it is all coming together. Kate woke up this morning not feeling good. Ugh! I hope it isn't strep again. I guess if it is, she'll get the shot and then meds. WHY???? Jack doesn't have a game tonight which is so nice, it is on Sat. Joe has practice but Rick is here so he can take him. I still have to order Ryan's flower! Ugh! I keep forgetting.

candles, pumpkins, orange and black!

HI. This will be a quick posting. Yesterday was busy busy starting with early Sunday school for all the kids. I'm so happy that Kate loves her class this year. I think they are going to talk about really relevant issues for 14/15 year olds. The boys like their classes too. Jack and Joe had football and kate went to a lacrosse clinic yesterday. She is super excited about this sport and can't wait to really get going with it.

The pics I'm posting are a little fall preview of the decorations for homecoming which is Friday night. I will of course take lots of pics on Friday but I'm starting to get things out and it is so fun with Hoover's colors being blk/orange b/c it just goes with the fall season.

Today, I'm in the baby room, love all my babies!!

HI! It's Saturday evening and we are watching our second SEC game today. Well, I didn't actually watch the Alabama game b/c it was on at 11:30am. I just can't do those games. I was at the store while the game was on. I was buying lots of decorations for the homecoming party.

Jack stayed the night at a friends and so did kate. They will both be home soon.

I got a run in today which was so great!

I was reading about how some people are still undecided on who they will vote for. I just don't know how you can be undecided. Speaking of which, I put my new McCain/Palin sticker on my car. I retired the W sticker to the garage wall. The republican ticket is the only way to vote. Keep the country safe and non socialistic. We are not a socialist country!

Night.

hi. had a great day in baby room today. love those babies!! they're so sweet. still hot in the house even though it has cooled off outside. the air guys will be here in the morning. yay!!!! i was poking around the news sites today and i came across this cemetery from orange county texas. what will they do with all these caskets. weird.

had fun at the tailgate this afternoon. kate, maddie and ryan ended up finding friends that had extra tickets so they got to stay and go to the game. here are some pictures. can i just tell you that my house is sooooooooooooo hot! ugh! i'm annoyed!

hi. we are getting ready to go to tuscaloosa to tailgate with friends. it is going to be hot today but since our air conditioning is out on our main level, we'll be hot if we stay in our out. i'd rather be out with people. we went to the hoover game last night and had lots of fun seeing friends. we had tons of fun tailgating with the cos family, haha we ended up setting up our tailgate spot in a very shady spot which was so great it just so happened to be the same spot where the seniors set up their tailgating spot. lol. we didn't mean to but it was fun b/c someone had a really great sound system and they were playing fun music which we got to enjoy too. i could seriously, get there around 3:30 and just hang out with friends til the game. an hour isn't long enough. we always have so much to chat about. hoover totally lost, they looked horrible. we are so used to winning and this just isn't fun. :( the team that came over to play us has a really great record, i think they are like 57-0. oh well, it was still fun seeing everyone. two weeks til homecoming. lots to look forward to. have a great day.

Hoover is playing a team from Camden County Georgia tonight. Those people are doing some serious traveling. I think it is a seven hour drive. yikes!

HI! It's Friday. Friday is my favorite day of the week. I don't have to work, we get to tailgate tonight and see lots of friends at the Hoover game. Joe had his first real football game last night. His team looked better than I thought they would even though they lost 9-0. Joe did do good and he recovered a fumble so he was happy. He finally lost his front tooth last night. It has been loose for a year.

I am going to work around the house and try to get some things done.

Hi! I tried posting yesterday but for some reason, it didn't post. Anyway, I had a great day in the baby room yesterday. We still only have three babies but they are so fun and sooooo good. I love them! This is the age where you can just sit on the floor with them and hand them a different toy every few min. and they're happy. I love that. I'm not working today b/c kate has a dr. apt. Just a check up but this is the only day we could do it.

last night Kate and I did some homecoming preparations. We had to find a piece of lace to have sewn in to her dress so it covers cleavage. We met with my friend, Candice who sews way better than me and she is going to take the straps up and sew the lace in. i can't wait to see it when its finished.

tonight, joe has his first real football game. i think coach has him at line backer. lol. what in the world. this is sort of a weird year for football b/c the kids are all still learning and joe's league combines 3rd/4th grade and i really don't think they should do that b/c there is a big difference between those two grades. anyway, that is the way it is tonight so we'll be there cheering on the sophomore packers!

jack had a great game the other night. his team won and he had some good tackles.

kate is all signed up for lacrosse. i know she is excited to get out there and learn the game.

hmmm, guess that is about all for now. i'm loving the mccain/palin ticket. love the eneregy that is back in the republican ticket!

have a great day.

HI everyone!

its been sooo long since i've posted anything on here. i'm a little spoiled with facebook now but i still want to write on this blog. the weekend was great. no drama! whoo hoo. we went to the hoover game friday night. hoover fans rock. we totally filled the visitor section of the stadium. it was hot and humid and sort of sprinkly at the end but it was fun to see people and to see the bucs win. saturday, we went to tuscaloosa to tailgate with friends. how fun! it was awesome. we are going over to hang out with them before every home game. their tent is right by the side walk in or on, the quad. it was fun to watch the students walk over to the stadium. we left about an hour before the game started so we could get home and order pizzas and watch it with our friends up the street. sunday, was busy. kate and i went shopping for a new homecoming dress. we found one, it is adorable. we returned the other one. the boys had football so i ran kate home, and ran back to get joe from practice. the house is a mess but oh well. we had a fun weekend. vonnie and i had two babies today. one of our babies is out of town so we just had two. they are so sweet. we did decorate our bulletine board for fall which was fun. tonight jack has football. thats about it. crazy crazy!

how about the mccain/palin ticket? love it!

Hi!

had a great day at preschool today. Love our babies, they are sooo sweet. just got home from football an hour ago, am so tired. off to bed.

Hi! Had a great first day of preschool. I love my kids, they are going to be really fun. No one cried. Everyone ate their snack and lunch and played outside really well. Most everyone sat in circle which is great for the first day. This is always a tiring day b/c we are all learning about each other.

I came home and took a power nap so I'd be able to function tonight. Joe is at football. Tomorrow is Jack's jamboree and thurs. is joe's. I just got in from my walk, I'm really enjoying getting out and walking again even though I think I pulled a muscle in my leg.

Hi! Today is the first day of preschool. Yay! I'm looking forward to see my kids and to getting this week under our belt. It is always the hardest. I'm sure I'll have some crying two's today but I think they'll be okay. will let you know.

We had a nice weekend. I usually get a little twitchy on long weekends. You know, I love having my schedule back. We are not experiencing anything more than some wind from Gustav. I think it is going west which is fine with me. You know, I don't like the rain.

Joe and Jack both have football jamborees this week. Yay! They are excited. I told Joe I'd pay him .50 for every tackle he makes.

Have a great day.
