Mom/Son Dance

The kids school does dances and last Thursday they had a mother/son valentines dance. I asked Brody before I got the tickets and he said " Yeah sure mom, you can hang out with my friends moms while the boys hang out together" so anyways I got the tickets and the day comes. I had volunteered to help decorate the gym for the dance so I had been there earlier to decorate. I get home and tell Brody to get ready and he tells me he doesn't want to go anymore. He says that none of his friends are going and he changed his mind. I had offered to help out during the dance so I had to get ready anyways and go up there. Harley told Brody that he had to go with me and that he couldn't back out on me. So he gets ready and is grumpy because he doesn't want to be there. We get to the dance and start helping around with things and Brody helped out with us in the beginning but 15min into the night he takes off when he sees some of his friends there. He ended up having a blast and I got to join him on the dance floor the rest of the evening. He was soaked with sweat because he danced so much. He also got to have his first slow dance with me! I love it!! He is such a sweetie, and told me that hes glad he went. I realized though through the whole ordeal, that my boy is getting to the age where hes too cool for mom. I can appreciate that he is a honest boy with me when it comes to things that happen. He also getting to where he is asking questions like "Whats a booty call"? I left that one for Harley to answer. I am just glad that I got atleast one night with my boy thats growing up so fast.

Harleys football game update.....

Me and Morgan taking pictures during halftime

Heres a few pictures of Harleys first football game. They lost but played a good game. Harley of course plays like its the NFL and takes everything so seriously. Hes so hard on himself and thinks he should be playing like he did in highschool or even better thanks to all the years of watching and learning while sitting on the couch all weekend long watching football. I have to say if thats his other love I can deal. LOL Anyways, they had a good time and I think Harley is excited to get back in the game. Brody thinks watching Harley is fun. He always walks up and down the field coaching Harley from the sidelines. He always says to me "dad plays so serious" and he thinks its hilarious. We seem to find it a little humorous, and actually I kinda like it when he gets upset. Morgan of course thinks its boring and sits and asks me what time is it? how long is the game? when is it gonna be over? That poor girls life consists of watching Brody play all his games and practices. And now she has dads games too. But shes a good sport too and cheers them on. I think she secretly likes it but acts like she doesn't. She has been begging me to sign her up for softball so she will be starting that in March. Shes gonna get her chance to play and let Brody watch her. Not to mention the dance recitals and lessons that he sometimes gets stuck watching (as Brody would put it). I tell them that they'll appreciate it one day, and look back on all the good memories those moments made. There has definately been some stories and injuries that they'll always remember!

Harleys 1st football game tonight

Well tonight will be Harleys 1st football game in 16yrs. He was asked a few weeks ago to start playing flag football and of course those of you who know Harley will never turn down a sport, especially football. He grew up playing football and played in high school and after high school he quit playing and lived vicariously through Brody!! Well now its his turn to shine! He is so excited to play tonight. He will come home from practice and say "you should of seen me tonight, your husbands a stud" and then I usually say "of course you are, thats why I married you". LOL It makes him happy!! No matter how old that man gets he will never grow up, then again thats one of the many reasons I love him! I think Brody is just as excited to watch Harley play as Harley is. Brody will finally get to watch his dad in action! I will let everyone know how the game turns out and post pictures tomorrow. Lets all just pray Harley doesn't get hurt tonight. Pease NO injuries!! Good luck Daddy Puffin!! Love you

SuperBowl Party

Well as all of you might know by now the Cardinals lost the Superbowl but it was one heck of a game. There was definately a lot of screaming and yelling going on. We had so much fun just hanging out with great friends and great food. During halftime we all went outside and all the kids got a ride on Harleys motorcylcle. Needless to say now Maddox wants a motorcycle for his birthday and he's only three. Scott made his own jersey and I have to say he did a great job. The girls also made some of their own shirts. During the last half of the game we had to send Scotty Guest outside far away from the tv since we seem to notice a theme happening. Every time he watches the games the Cardinals don't do so well and when he doesn't watch the Cardinals rock. Well by the end of the game poor Scotty was all the way at the park down the street. Sorry Scotty :( He did say he could tell what was going on by all the screaming and yelling from all the houses in the neighborhood. Hopefully next season the Cardinals will go all the way and take the SuperBowl. Thanks everyone for such a good time!
