MVP

Last time I updated I talked about the parents vs boys baseball game on Sunday. Well we spanked the boys! We had so much fun with all the talkin smack back and forth. Brody received the MVP award for his team and we are so proud of him. Thats two MVPs now. He got MVP for his football team last season too. I think we might have a professional on our hands! I always tell him don't forget your mom when your big and famous one day makin the benjamins!! We also are still moving Cher and Scott one truck load at a time. Its going but at a slow pace. Just to let them know they have too much stuff! The only stuff left is all the straggler stuff that we have been putting off cause its just stuff! If anyone has ever moved they'll know what I am talking about. We also are getting ready for the Super Bowl which we are having at our house. Go Cardinals!! Its going to be such a great game just having our state team in it! How exciting! I will post pictures of the superbowl party next time I update.

Dance + Shopping = Fabulous Day

What a perfect way to spend a Saturday. Today Melissa, Mallory, Morgan and I went to Jadens dance competition. She did such an awesome job along with the rest of the group. They ended up getting 2 trophys but I am not sure what they were for. On the way home we decided to stop at Dunkin Donuts which is Morgans favorite food. She got her sugar raised donut and was in heaven! We stopped at Arrowhead mall and went to Morgans favorite store (Tillys). Morgan and Mallory got matching shirts and the moms had to get a little something too. (I had two $10 dollar off coupons that were going to expire so we just had to use them before they went to waste. Thats the story I am telling Harley!) but true. I think the girls made out better than we did! We had so much fun today just hanging out with the girls. Harley and Scott have been moving furniture all day but have gotten a lot done so maybe the Gwaltneys might be staying their first night in the new house tonight. Tomorrow Brodys baseball team is having a game, kids verses parents! We will have to see how that goes. I'll have to post pictures of that.

Desert Rats

This past weekend was crazy busy! Friday night I had 7 children screaming and running around the house playing hide and seek tag. Rachel had a painting job to finish and was in a time crunch so Cheryl decided to offer her skills and I offered mine. Cheryl got to help paint and I got stuck with all the kids. I guess I am good at having screaming kids around and Cheryls good at painting. Saturday morning started bright and early thanks to Brodys baseball tournament. We spent the day out in the gorgeous weather watching Brody do what he does best. I have to say that kid can play some ball!! Sunday we had 2 more games in the tournament and another great weather day. We then went to Matt and Melissas to watch the Cardinals kick some booty! Go Cardinals! I can't believe we are going to the Super Bowl. How exciting is that??? We will be hosting a Super Bowl party at our house so that should be fun. Since the kids were off on Monday we decided to go to the desert and let the kids build a track for their bikes and get down and dirty. The weather was great and we had a lot of fun digging and exploring. Brody and his buddies rode their bikes all day and were filthy with dirt and sweat by the end of the day. We grilled burgers and hot dogs and had snacks. What a great day to spend outside with family and friends. Now that the boys have their own special little track we will have to go out there more often while the weather is nice. This is why we live in Az. for days like this in January!! I don't think people back east have pictures like this in January!

Catching Up...

I haven't blogged in a while so bare with me, might be kinda long. Lets see New Years Eve we went to the Guests house for a WII bowling tournament. I didn't do so well, maybe thanks to the few shots of patron I had already had by the time it was my turn to bowl. Needless to say Rachel won, and we had a blast! Thanks Guest family for an awesome night. The next 2 days were not soo awesome! I was hungover and felt like crap. I guess thats what New Years is for. Now I know why I don't drink on a daily basis. I can't handle it and am useless the next couple of days. Our days have gone back to routine with baseball and dance. And now Harley started flag football, just another thing to add to our plates. His first practice was last night which went pretty well, besides coming home and icing his ankle while elevated in bed. I told him thats what happens when you have a mind of a 20yr old and a body of a 34yr old. We went to Matt and Melissas for the Cardinals game and had a lot of fun along with the Cards victory! GO CARDS!! We will be there again for Sundays game. We have also been going to Scott and Cheryls new house to paint and it seems like this is the longest painting job we have ever done. We are kinda sad they are moving farther away, but still close enough to go have coffee in the mornings like I do now. Maybe I have been slacking off on helping because the sooner they get done the sooner they leave. Well I tried to keep it short and simple so until next time. Ta Ta for now!!
