Welcome to blogging!

Katie Lou has a blog now~ The picture above is such a Jacob & Katie pic..

Their first visit after 4 years

We were with katie for about 7 years and now she is in Texas, what a great way to keep in touch. www.kritches.blogspot.com

You've got mail

As I have mentioned before Michele is the high school cheerleading coach at the school she teaches at. In addition she coaches the Scream Team (pep club). In the mail today I got cheer shoes, I promise I will do a cheer for you ;)

Jacob & I both got lots of Locust Grove t-shirts and Jacob got a check for new shoes.

Thanks so Michele! She always thinks of Jacob =)

Before this photo I said "This one is for Michele" so here is your pic. I could not have one taken of myself because I am on photos strike with the dark roots I have going on...

We had practice last night and the boys got their uniforms. No more practice this week with the rain but we have a game Saturday morning in J-ville.

FROM THIS.......

TO THIS........

Goodness how time flies and they are growing up so fast.

Thanks again Kim for your scanning help =)

~Jacob is back on the Honor Roll. All year he has had a few C's holding him back and he has brought those up. WAY TO GO JACOB!!! You make me so proud.

~Friday night Jacob spent the night with Jeremy and they went to a Traveler's game. As always thanks for having him!

~Jacob and I got the yard mowed and put new mulch around the fountain and put out the frogs, they make me smile.

~We start back at baseball practice tonight in an alternate area. Maybe we will have games this weekend and possibly even try to finish up the tournament we started. This will have to take place at another ball park.

~It's Monday, have a wonerful week!

A few shots of the Sylvan Hills sports complex where Jacob plays. This makes me sad! I just hope and pray noone was hurt.

Jacob picked my neighbors 1st tulip and I had a little talk with him, weeeeeell did not work because he picked my 1st tulip. shame shame

WOW!

That is my face...HILARIOUS!

I found this site http://www.hairmixer.com/ and you put your face on a celebrities hair, etc. This made me laugh so hard!!! Look good as Jessica huh?

Makes me want to run to the gym, a diet pill indeed!

ALL FIRED UP!

Last Thursday night the coach called at 8:50 to inform me that we have a tournament and to be at the ball park Friday at 7:00, with a bunch of shopping as the uniforms were not in yet. It was misting and nasty and about the 5th inning and Jacob was still on the bench (football is our better sport). It was Jacob's turn to bat, I had made it to the car as the rain was falling but I was parked at center field, Jacob hit the ball to the frnce and it rolled under so they stopped him at 2nd! He did score the 1st run of the game and was then put in to play. I was so proud of him =) The rest of the tournament was rained out. That will probably make for a busy week!

The Zoo...it was such a pretty day for the Zoo. I think most of the animals were sleeping or better yet sun bathing.

Goofy boys~

Check out the baby~

Random shots...

Looks like Ramona is as always assisting with a cell phone issue...

Heather as always being silly, that must be the new hair style at Visible Attractions Salon...lol

Put on your bullet proof vest....

and go back to work. It is Monday and after being off since last Tuesday it was hard to make it back. BUT I am ready for whatever they have to dish out, you know the daggers and such....lol
Those of you that know me know that I can take most anything..HA!
Rise above it, right Kim? =)

Spring break was nice and relaxing. Jacob and Deven had a lot of video game time. Not sure what type of exercise the kids are doing here with the exercise ball but hey whatever works. This was the day we saw Alvin & The Chipmunks. Now that was cute movie!

Busy as a bee

Michele and the boys were here again and we had a great time. The boys actually stay on the 4 wheelers and in the mud and Michele and I get to play. Easter morning we cooked for the boys and when they showed up they were still covered in mud, fun times.

Baskets for the boys, Jacob's basket had his Wild River Country season pass.

Jacob also had baseball practice Saturday afternoon, before heading to 89 raceway. I love this picture, paying attention =)

Michele attempting to help the boys get 6 ATV's loaded.

Michele and I were able to have girl time both Friday & Saturday night and also get a pedi.

What would a trip to Arkansas be w/o a trip to jail....JUST KIDDING, but the posing was funny.

So glad to have had you visits 2 weekends in a row!

Happy Friday!

Michele will be back today after her week in Vegas, lucky duck! She will stay with me this weekend and I guess we will get out amongst the NCAA crowds.
On my brackets I am tied in 1st with two of my coworkers =)
I am going to win this thing, oh and yes I had help, thanks A!

Jacob was very thankful when he woke up this morning because it was Friday and he is on Spring Break next week (we will get to spend most of it together) and we have had a very busy week.

I attended a funeral yesterday for a high school friend, actually junior high. I have not seen most of these girls since my mother's funeral (18 yrs ago) and it was a bit emotional. I heard over and over how much I looked like my mother or how I talked like her, etc. This is a great compliment but I think I cried from the time I left the funeral until 7:00 last night.
Rest In Peace Marci.

Baby shower at work this afternoon for Nataki & Juanenna.

March Madness

I filled out my 2 brackets for work, wish me luck. The winner gets to pick what charity we will give the winnings to! I hope I am the winner, I had some good help ;)
I also finished Valerie Bertinelli's autobiogrpahy, I do recommend it

Jacob and I had dinner with Katie last night at the Olive Garden. Katie is in town on Spring Break. We got to see her on Spring Break last year also, maybe they can get together each year. Katie and Jacob were (step) brother & sister for a long time. These two met when jacob still wore diapers =)

Note that she is taller than me now, geez time flies!

Any way you slice it this was a bit emotional....

I left out the Mexican Chicken pics in a post below....when I say we cooked Mexican Chicken I mean a ton of it. We could have fed an army, actually we did..lol

Busy , busy

Michele made it in just as I had finished a workout. We dropped off Jacob with the boys and Michele, Terri and myself headed to Gadwall's. Terri had a softbal tournament on Saturday.

Jacob spent the weekend riding, and more riding.

Saturday Michele and I cooked mexican chicken and took it out to the boys.

Then we headed out with Joe for a little dancing =)

Michele wanted to buy Jacob his baseball bat, here he is trying it out with a few swings. THANKS MICHELE!!! Picking out a bat was a complicated task ;)
