Dinner with Corinne and Logan

It's really bad when you are so busy, that you don't even see your own kids. Matt and I FINALLY made it to Corinne and Logan's new house on Tuesday. They were able to move into a house in the avenues that his parents own and are not using too much now. What a beautiful house!! And boy, did they make a delicious dinner!!

Me, Matt and Logan

Logan and Corinne. Logan just couldn't get the double flash thing down....haha

Daniel played us some tunes on Logan's guitar. He's a great guitar player.

Me and Matt.

For some reason, we didn't get a pic of Sami at the dinner, so here she is as we left the house.

The food was delicious, the company was great and I'm thinking I hope we get invited again!

New Camera

When we were at Lake Powell, my camera had an unfortunate run in with the houseboat floor. It didn't fair well and I was forced to make the decision to fix it or buy a new camera. Frankly, camera's are so cheap and I was unhappy with my old camera and it's ability to take "sport" pics. AKA..football. So I looked around and ended up ordering one from Costco online. What a sweet deal!! It has the 10 megapixals and great zoom. It even has the sport setting with a 3 picture burst feature. Granted, it is going to take me a year to learn to use it, but I sure love it. When the flash is needed, it just pops up. Very high-tech!

In trying out my camera, I got a few fun pics. I also FINALLY got some decent pics of two of my boys. Daniel hates having his picture taken and I just never see Jake. Here is some fun ones I snatched.

Daniel and Zoe, and doesn't Zoe look more then happy to be there!!

Sami took an action shot of Jake and I downstairs after discussing laundry. INTENSE!!

My 17 year old, Jake. What a cutie!!

Jake and I. It's almost too much hottie to handle!!

Last Saturday, we had Pud over for some sittin and smoochin. We try to give Rachelle and Chris some time off once in a while, and I think they need to take more time off!! haha. I broke out the new camera and was taking pics of the baby. The flash on my camera, flashes at least once before it really flashes for the actual picture. In some of these, Daniel was holding him and I was taking pictures. Daniel would laugh at Pud's face when the flashes went off and then Pud would look at Daniel and laugh. So cute!! Damn I love my family!!

The way surprised smile!!

I love this look. It's almost like whatever we were doing was only worth HALF of a smile.

Pud, checking out Daniel. I think he likes him.

Happy Mima and Pipa here. Matt looks like he's thinking something dirty!! Either that or he's working on his "Myspace" look. Either way, I am just glad his eyes are open with all those flashes and stuff!!

Oh happy days!!

Football 08

For the past 8 years I have had one or two boys playing football every fall. I love little league football!! I have had so much fun watching all my boys play every year. I have even dragged myself to games after a night shift. If I am in town, I will be there!! I rarely even go out of town so I can see them. I even manage my work schedule around the games.

Every year is something different. One year there will be hardly a game won and the next year, we make it to the finals. The main goal is always accomplished - the boys work hard and have fun!! Unfortunately, none of them have gone on to play even high school football and it doesn't look good for Daniel. He is getting more involved in the guitar then football, so this may be his last year. I still may be at the sidelines........crazy loud lady!!

At the end of the season I will certainly do a long post with lots of pictures, highlighting the skills of Daniel and his team. But for now, just a little taste of all the fun we have at the games.

Last week, my friend Meggan and her brother, along with Matt, were responsible for the "chain gang". Oh yeah, they are the ones that made sure that every yard counted. That the downs were correct and the game ran smoothly. Thought you'd appreciate some pics from the fun we had. I personally found myself a little lonely - having to sit on the sidelines alone.

THE SUCK AND TUCK!!

Daniel is always tucking in his pants.

His friend Chase is always sucking on his mouth piece

More then another month to go! I look forward to some more braggin and posting.

GO OLY!!!
