Quick Update

It's been awhile since I have posted anything, but we have been very busy with soccer and just other family stuff. Chuck, Tim and Eston were in Orlando last weekend for the Braves spring training. This has been a trip that the three of them have taken the last 3 years. They all have such a good time and look so forward to it every year. Good father and son bonding time. I should have sent my camera with Chuck, but Caitlyn had soccer and of course I can't miss taking pics of those games. Maybe next year!!!!

Chuck has been working very hard the past few weeks trying to get taxes done. Darn I hate this time of year.

Caitlyn's high school soccer team, Starr's Mill has done well overall. They had a HUGE win last weekend when the beat county rival Whitewater, 1-0. The girls played very, very well. It was such an exciting game. One of the girls from Cait's club team plays for Whitewater, and she has played with many of the others at some time or other in her soccer career, so it's definitely hard, but so "sweet" too to defeat them. Then the next week, we had a terrible lose to another high school in the next county. We lost 1-0 to Northgate. I think it was revenge on their part. Last year we beat them and that lose knocked them out of the state playoffs. We should have won this year. Oh well, those things happen. We are still in the running for the playoffs again this year. Hopefully we can keep that going.

We've had so much rain this past week that all of the stuff being done to the house has been put on hold. I can't wait until it is all done. Seems like we could have built an entire house as long as it has been taking to finish the porch. The new front door is on and I love it. We also found out that we have to get a new pool liner. Wow, I think I better start playing the lottery. Guess we will enjoy the pool this summer, but won't be able to eat. Oh well, priorities right.

OK gotta run. Laundry calls.

Bryan is 20!!!!



Well on March 10, Bryan turned 20, and we celebrated his birthday last night at Longhorn. It was great!!! I love it when everyone is together, which doesn't happen enough. We all went to Longhorn after spending the day watching Austin wrestle in Kids State.
It is so hard to believe that Bryan is 20!!! I swear I totally remember the ride to the hospital and dropping Natalie at the babysitters March 10, 1989. It seems like it was just yesterday and now he is a sophmore in college. How time flies.

Bryan next year we are VEGAS bound, can't wait. Happy Birthday Buddy~~~ Love ya

It's March and it's snowing




How exciting, here we are in the south, and its the first day of March and we have snow. Wish my kids were little, so we could go outside and make snow angels in the snow. I grew up in New Jersey and we did that all winter long. Instead, Natalie, is upstairs chillin, Bryan is driving home from a weekend in Athens, Caitlyn is having a fun snow day with her friends and boyfriend,while Chuck and I are sit here, in front of a blazing fire, watching the snow, watching movies, I'm cooking soup and pizza, and enjoying the scenery. I love this. I did get Natalie to go outside for a bit so I could take some pics. (Wow, now it's coming down really hard again). Maybe I can convince Natalie to go back outside and lay in it so i can get just one snow angel. I did get Hollie out there and took some pics of her. Man she needs a bath, as she doesn't look white compared to the snow. There is a pretty good chance there will not be school tomorrow, or maybe we will get to go in late. The roads will surely freeze up and if the buses can't run we can't have school. I'd love just one day and then I'll be ready for spring weather.

I did go out to the grocery store to get the stuff for soup, and everyone else was there. It was kind of funny. You would think that the snow was around for days, but it was neat. Reminded me of when I was little and we all did have to run to the store to get the basics for a few days in side. I didn't let it bother me, because everyone is enjoying this.

Well, I'll post a few pics, try and get Natalie outside for some more, and I know Caitlyn will take a ton, so may post some of those too.
