Grampa's Coming

The boys are so excited they can barely stand it! He comes in on Brian's birthday and all the excitement is building... He won't be here for long and the boys have been working extra hard so that they can play the whole time he is here! Brandon just did an extra hour of schoolwork before bed hoping to get a few days off with Grampa.

Of course, we have EARLY games while he is here. Our games are at 8 and 9 so we will be up early but will have the rest of the day free... It should be a nice visit!

Now we just need to finish up the to-do list before he gets here. We got the door hung on the patio, got the painting done in the boys rooms, made a trip to the dump and got all the laundry and work caught up... So far so good!

Gotta luv the Jeep...

So after last week I thought I would get some reprieve from my bad week... Apparently I was wrong. Tonight when I was driving home a lady creamed my car. I was alone and I am fine, just a little sore (well, sore enough I may swing by a dr. tomorrow tho). The adjuster is coming out tomorrow to let me know how bad it is... But on the bright side... Her car looks much worse than mine. I think I will go take a picture of it tomorrow because she shouldn't have messed with me... Anyway, here's the jeep...

It is dark so it is worse than it looks. There are even places on the driver side that will have to be fixed from the impact to the passenger side. We have pulled some of the parts back into place to the best of our ability as well. She was coming out of the alley a few blocks from my house and never stopped or even looked. There is an island there and nowhere for me to go and I looked over and knew she was gonna hit me. She was in a Dodge Dakota pickup truck that is in much worse shape...

I told Brian how much I appreciated the fact that I don't drive a little car because at the speed she was going she would have run right over me...

Girlz Rule... Most of the time...

So I lost... It actually wasn't even close. I lost by 40 points. We played poker last night and I lost at that too so after the week I had I thought my luck was changing but apparently not. However, I did find my keys and my phone is working again!

We had a good weekend but Brandon's team lost their first game in almost two years! Brian was furious with the majority of the team. This is our rival team and we were fighting for first place and we lost this time. We play them again the last game of the season so there's still hope! Brandon had a good game though and his dad was proud of him.

Hunter's team won their game and he did great. That puts them well in first place so it looks like they will be going to the Tournament of Champions. He was so excited and his face actually lit up once they won. We were really proud of him.

So off to start another busy week... it has to be better than last week....

My Sweet Friend...

Thank you so much for all you do... Listening to the complaining... Packing the mail... Just hangin out... I appreciate you more than you know... :)

Another win under our belt...

So, Hunter had a game tonight and they won 7-1. He had a goal and had a great game which leaves them in first place! He and Brandon both have games this weekend for first place. I don't know what kind of luck we have that both those games fall on the same day... Thanksfully they are at 11:45 and 4:45 so we have no conflicts. If Hunter's team wins this weekend they are going to the Tournament of Champions and we are all very excited about that!

Also, I won last night by the skin of my teeth in Fantasy Football. It came down to the fourth quarter and it was back and forth the whole game but I pulled it out! Brian also won so that leaves us in first and second place. We play each other this weekend so that should be interesting! It will top off our exciting weekend I am sure.

Halloween is almost here...

Well, Halloween is Brian's favorite holiday and it is almost here. The stores have opened up everywhere. We had Date Night on Friday (thanks Amy :)) and so we went to dinner which was very good and then went Halloween shopping. Brian decided to buy some wall and glass stickers of ghosts and scary things and put them in the kids rooms so when they came home they would be really scared! It almost worked but Brandon wasn't scared and took the edge off for Hunter. He was a little disappointed but when Amy's kids came over for a sleepover last night it worked on them so that made up for it.

We had two great soccer games yesterday. Hunter's team is playing for the regional Tournament of Champions this season and they had a great game against the other top team. WE WON! And even better than that Hunter scored the game winning goal. We are now in first place and if we stay there we will play all of the other teams in North Texas the first weekend in December. He was super-excited and we were so proud of him. The team really won BECAUSE of Hunter!

Brandon's team won too and are undefeated as well. It was a great game too and they won 14-2. He did great as well and informed me that his father promised that if he went undefeated all season we are going to Disney Land. Funny how these things happen behind my back.

So tomorrow will wrap up Fantasy football for this week and I need Min to beat NO BADLY! The other team has Drew Brees playing and I have Bernard Berrian. Well, they are saying he is questionable so I may swap him out for Sidney Rice but haven't decided yet. I plan to call my advisor tomorrow and see what he thinks... All in all, a fun and exciting weekend and next weekend I play Team Klinko. I think he's going DOWN...
