What we did today!

Tradition is still in tack with the putting up the Christmas Tree on Thanksgiving weekend. Papa brought it over this morning and Blake and I worked all morning putting it up. Finally finished. Blake had a blank look on his face and asked where were all the presents????? So I drug out all the wrapping and dove in. I wrapped all the gifts that I have bought and now it's looking complete.

Thanksgiving

Well the time has come and gone. Thanksgiving was very quiet this year. It was at my parents home but it was only Blake, Nana, Papa and my parents dear friends Connie and Bruce. The meal was fantastic and the football was great (for the most part). Hope ya'll had a great thanksgiving.

The true look of sorry.....

Sunday's Adventure

Well the election is over and Blake and I want to tour the state and do fun things around Arizona. Sunday we took a little trip up to Clarkdale (which is by Sedona) to ride a train. It was a 4 hour ride thru beautiful country. We had a blast - Enjoy the pics.......

Halloween was a blast!

Pumpkin Patch and Carving

Today was the day - Blake went to 2 pumpkin patches today. He went on a field trip to one and they were able to paint a pumpkin, ride on a hayride to see all the animals on the farm then they played games. I picked him up from school and forgot that Halloween is tomorrow so I took him to another patch to pick out our pumpkin so we could take it to Nana's and Papa's to carve. I have done this the last 4 years but I thought Papa could have a turn this year.......I won't mention that I'm dog tired with all the hours I'm putting in with the election just 7 days away.......So here are some pics - Enjoy......

Game Day

Well another game went by and Blake was the "goalkeeper" is what he calls it. I really think I need to work on his skills........But we still won......

A saying for the day.....

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed
to ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than once and
it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose
someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never
been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute
of happiness you'll never get back.

Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

Game Face

Well here he is.........my soccer son.........We had our first game last week and lost 2-3. Yesterday the Dragons (that's what his team is) played in the rain and won 2-0. Blake was right in front of the goal and had a perfect set up and missed....awwww we are getting closer to his first score.......Great Job Dragons! Good Luck next week!

The Weekend

Cool Slideshows

Well the weekend has come and gone and it's been a pretty busy one. I haven't had much time for myself/Blake lately since my job has consumed up most of my waking hours so I did jump ship this weekend and had some fun. My brother's team (he is an assistant football coach) was playing the #3 team in the nation and we tagged along with my parents to go watch. EAC held their own except for a few mistakes really cost them the game. We really thought we had them the beginning of the 4th quarter - then the D team was worn out. They let a few mistakes go thru them which cost them the game. Even though we lost - it was still great to get out of town. Plus Blake got to see his cousins.....Then today after going to the office - Blake and I went the Shinner's circus - it was sooooo cute. At intermission we were able to go to the rings and buy a ticket to ride a pony, elephant or get a picture taken with the bear. Blake chose the pony. It was his first ride ever - I might have a little cowboy on my hands....Yeee hawwww. Then I took him to get a airbush tattoo - he picked the Superman logo. Now it's late and it's time for me to hit the hay - enjoy the pictures from this weekend!

I get to be a mom today

I get to be a mom today! I am having 8 kids over for a birthday party for my son who is turning 5. I'm so excited - we got all the goodies and he wanted to have a swim party. Instead of pizza being the favorite for food - my son wanted "Subway". So I ordered a platter and yes I ordered a cake. I usually make and decorate (show off my skills) the cake but being a political mom - time flew pass me. So a couple more hours and the show is on....I love watching him on this special day. I will post some party pics later.

Happy Birthday Blake! Mommy loves you!!

He is Caught ! ! !

YAY ! ! the rapist is caught.....Thank Goodness! Great Job to Phoenix PD......Lock that asshole up and throw away the key!!!

He lived 1 1/2 miles from my office - how scary is that!!!
