Sad and Proud...

The first of many track meets....Reebsie and I like it MUCH better when Daddy is home.... That way Rebound doesn't have to spend the night looking down the driveway waiting for his return...
However, I do get to steal Husband's clothes....
And be a REAL girl tonight....
but really...I am PROUD of Husband...17 years coaching the same Varsity sport...he is good to the girls, he is fair, he is FUN and they love him for it. :) Come to think of it...all the reasons I loved him my Jr. year too...oh this is SO not going in a good direction. :) I love HUSBAND :) and lucky for him... I love Track too :) They are lucky to have you baby!!!

Monday Monday.... posted on Tuesday... how's that for confusing?

After the fun-filled past few days that were the weekend it was nice to just ease into the week with a drizzly, quiet, comfort food evening... Nothing bad about getting some of the laundry taken care of and the dishwasher emptied and a while lotta snuggle time on the couch... with a bedtime of 8PM.... yah... not a bad Monday....

Spinach and burger stuffed shells....Salad...Warm bread.... yum....

WHAT were we THINKING??

GA and a "few friends" came to spend the night... well really... from Friday AM after Track practice until this AM so practically 24 hours.... :) We had a great time and what good girls they were...

Once we figured out what we were going to do... we headed out to the driving range... and look... Husband came :) (Daring soul :)
GA, couple of sisters, and exchange student from Brazil and one of GA's childhood friends....

Then we came home to make (thanks Tracy for the idea and Mama for a couple of pans!!) personal deep dish pizzas which I THINK turned out AWESOME! SOOOO YUMMY!Some how kids always seem to end up on the balcony. I don't know if it is simply to give the adults heart attacks because they might tip off the edge or what... the nieces and nephews always end up there and the "big girls" (as Sky refers to them) thought this was their own person STAGE! :) Singing, dancing and giggling... so fun! :)

Once jammies were on and Husband had the stove started (wanted to just take the chill off for them :) he's soooo good) they ALL snuggled up on a couch made for 3 to watch Dan in Real Life...Bright eyed and bushy tailed after homemade pancakes (Thanks Husband!! :)) and all suuup-ed up on SUG-AH there was another singing/dancing party... :)
and then they left. and Husband and I drove to Home Depot in complete silence. No one spoke, no radio was on, not even the DOG dared to let out any noise from the back...:) (just kiddin' :) the radio is always on :)

Thursday...

Updated to add the pic!!! :)
Was bring your child to work day... or at least a child you know... :) I will be updating with another pic that I have saved at work on Monday but for now.... a couple of cute ones...



While she makes funny noises with her mouth here....



He does THIS here... :) He does love her and the feeling is oh so mutual :) Don't worry though Laurie... Jen wasn't opposed to the arranged marriage with Tribble :) I am afraid you are going to have to get through Sky though :)

All the way back to Wednesday

Heidi... here is the post you have been waiting for... I think I'm not feeling really ON my GAME today though so I will have no witty captions. You'll just have to deal with the kinda of hideous pictures :)

Laura Jane came over to eat dinner with Husband... I mean... eat what Husband made for dinner... on Wed. :) Turkey Chow Mien... yick. I had a salad. :) We had fun with the camera while he was busy choppin' up veggies... :)

After dinner we watched a fairly awful movie... :) and put our UN-PEDICURED BEEN STUCK IN SHOES FOR 8 MONTHS AND ARE NOW JUST SEEING THE LIGHT OF DAY feet up on the coffee table....

The end.

Oh yah! WE miss you and we love you H.B. and don't think Laura Jane is staying out there in STEAM-Y AZ when she visits. She's MINE. ALLLLLLL MINE! :)

Mama vs. the Wii, Birthday and of course Muffinman

Improptu Thanksgiving meal, a birthday party (not that there are ANY PICS OF THE BIRTHDAY GIRL????? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN....???) and my MIL played Wii... what?

Ok... I know you...and I love you... but....I WANT MY MOMMMMMYYYYY!!!!! :) This is the face that comes out at random times lately when people start talking to him... its also the face that causes his Mama to call him a drama queen :)

Fun with the camera....

I tried to capture this on film for TiTi....he's about to pop it back OUT of his mouth but he IS A THUMB SUCKER!!! :) When he's not chomping down on the rest of his fingers, hand, fist....:)And here's where it all went down.... I mentioned here....and here... how this woman amazes me over and over again, last night... it happened AGAIN! :) I told her we wanted to get her playing Wii... specifically BOXING against my Dad... she balked at first but the next thing I knew JJ was off giving her a tutorial so she could try to get one up on my Dad... oh she cracks me up and WHAT A GREAT SPORT she was!!! Honestly, I think she could have taken him but he was just about breaking a SWEAT to try and knock her out! :)

So she took a break. :) And opted for a sit-down game of... GUITAR HERO!?!?!? :) WHAT?! :) Oh yes... Mama... rockin' it out to the hard rock songs from the 80's! I LOVE this woman! :) What didn't get captured on film (thankfully) was the cow racing in which SHE KICKED MY BUTT EVERY TIME! I mean EVERY TIME!! :) Cow racing is apparantly HER game! :)
Meanwhile... someone was getting a little sleepy.... yes... Muffy was too... :) Husband hasn't been featured for a while... so if you don't like gushing... fast forward. :) The man cooked a TURKEY while I was at work. He cleaned the house and got it "company worthy" and he helped pick up after dinner? Isn't the rule, if you cook, you don't have to clean? Yah. I'm spoiled. Love him!!
So this was taken.... just to rub in TiTi's face.... oh yes... we walked and talked and then he passed out! :) I DID IT!!! I HAVE THE TOUCH! I think I have graduated from TiTi's school of baby whispering!!!! (course watch, next time... he'll be screaming the whole time! :)

Last but not least.. my Mum brought over some flowers to share with me that her co-workers gave her at her going away party (she is all done working!!!) There are features and benefits of the Grandparents at the 'rents... Nannie is WICKED allergic to anything that SMELLS. Pretty much. :) so I get to enjoy them!!! :) Thanks Mum!!!
