Found something to do with all this time...

No wonder I don't allow myself a bunch of spare time...I spend it looking back and getting sad about how fast time has gone by. My baby will be 10 next month!!


First show...April 2003

Last year...April 2007

Good Golly!

Just what do I do with all this extra time?!

Jeff and Brandon are gone. (poor Alyssa had a VERY hard time with that)
Alyssa is at school and is staying afterwards to help Helen (her best friends Elizabeth's mom...also a 4th grade teacher) do some things so I won't be picking her up until 4:30 and Gabriella is taking a nap!
Actually I do know what I should be doing (cleaning and laundry) but I promised myself I was not going to make myself nuts with all that stuff this weekend. Of course I will do it...just not obsess over it.

For the record...Alyssa is NOT staying the night at Jack's tomorrow...I will be picking her up when everyone starts to settle in for the night...so once again people...RELAX!

Hmmmmmm....guess I'll go and just sit...maybe even read...now, that is a concept!

Just me and my girls...

Jeff and Brandon leave tomorrow for Winnamucca, they will be gone until late Sunday night. Though I will miss them tons...part of me is looking forward to just hanging out with my girls.
Alyssa is going to a cheer camp on Saturday morning until noon and than she has a party at Jack's to go to...it's a sleepover...relax....I have spoken to his mom...and come on people...they are kids. So essentially...it will be just me and Gabriella. I do plan on doing some things around the house (cleaning and laundry) but I also am planning on relaxing and maybe doing a little shopping too.
So, please say a prayer for Jeff, Brandon, Coach Cortez (aka Alex), Kendal, Kyle and Kalani for a safe trip and strength for the tournament. It's a great opportunity especially for the older boys so we pray they excel and kick some serious butt!

Having a moment...

I know not everyone has a life like mine...
Sometimes when I get hung up on issues like the fact that I'm not a stay at home mom or I don't have the big house that I want simple things in my life remind me that I already have everything I need and more.
God has blessed me with three beautiful kids that some people could only dream about and a husband so amazing that he still makes my heart melt like it did when we were love struck teenagers. So...thanks again God...just in case you missed it before...I owe ya one!

Southern NV Regional Champ!

Brandon wrestled in the regionals yesterday in Overton. It was a long day that started at 4:30am...but it was a great day. Brandon won 1st place in his weight class and even had a pin! He was so excited and you better believe so was Jeff and I. I'm so happy he has a place to release his energy and he gets to do something that he really likes. He started this back at the end of October and was only going 1 day a week...now he wrestles at least 4 times a week and we can actually threaten him with no wrestling when he's having one of his moments. He really does love it! He has also learned the importance of team work and enjoys cheering on his teammates...it's great! Enjoy the pictures and the videos.

The two men in my life!

Check out the sprawl...

You can look at it but you can't touch it!

Everyone is required to sign a form after a win...

Not the greatest picture...but this is the pin!! If you look in the background you can see Coach Jake and his teammate Anthony cheering him on!

Regional Champ!
