Dirt Fairies in Paris.

Over the weekend of Oct. 9 and 10, we went on a quick trip to Paris. We started Saturday with a football game in Woods Cross. My Stepfather came to watch (with stipulations of ABSOLUTELY NO ROOTING FOR THE OPPOSITION) which was his HOME TEAM!! It was really nice to see him, I really miss him, life just gets too busy. Anyway our team won the game and then we were off on our next adventure. Wedding in Perre' !!! The trip went great, beautiful scenery and great conversation. When we arrived we were greeted by many family members. The wedding theme was "crawl to the alter". My family really knows how to "tie one on" but in their case it's um.....about 20!! My poor husband had to be the referee. By the end of the night he was pretty fed up! One a.m. came and I was done, I wanted to get the kids in bed and prepare for the wedding the next day. I was loading kids in the car and Chris came to me and said "I'm going to stay and play some football" I was so tired I didn't even ask him how he was getting to my cousins house where we were staying! I just left. I'm so glad we had the opportunity to stay with her. She was so great to open her house to us. I got back and put the kids to bed and She and I stayed up talking till 5am, that's when I realized I FORGOT CHRIS!!! I went back to get him and everyone was asleep! I couldn't find him anywhere! The next morning we went back over for breakfast and helped set up the wedding. I was so busy, I wasn't paying much attention to the kids, someone brought Angelee and her little cousin Katelynn me and said "they got dirt in the house" I'm thinking they tracked dirt in the house on their feet. I went to clean it up and this is what I found  yep they were playing dirt fairies and dropped a trail of dirt EVERYWHERE!!!

HMMMM What can I get into next???

Who me??? I would NEVER!!!

The Boys of Fall





I love my family! Chris was showing me football plays and he was naming the players and where they go. Angelee came up and asked where she was in the game and she's very persistent asking at least four times in 30 seconds, finally Chris drew an A and said that's Ang she said "oh OK that's Angelee!!" He goes on to explain more of the play to me, she chimes in again, "but where's Gage?" Chris draws a G on the sideline and next thing we know the entire family has to be in the play!! Which is so true because it is the entire family involved. I love being a football family, when football ended last year Chris and I went into some sort of depression,it was like "what do we do now?" I love the hustle and bustle of the season. I love the respect and discipline that comes from Damien, Chris and even Me, I've been able to get somewhere on time (are ya shocked?) It's like the entire family steps up to the plate and pitches in. I LOVE the practices, I love the GAMES(of course). I love the the family closeness that surrounds it. It's so fun to watch the games, I get so caught up in the game, I know I'm there because my son is on the team, but I have to admit most of the time I don't even know if he's on the field or not! D has thee most amazing coach. This is his second year playing with this team, last year he was 9 years old playing on a 8 year old team. This year we had to "Z" him down to play with the same team. That process was one I will never forget. D showed soooo much determination. I'm so proud of him. Let's just say he had to be a tiny bit lighter to "play down" which meant he was pretty means basically he wasn't able to eat sweets which is ok with me!! It was only three weeks but man was it EMOTIONAL!!! The only thing on our minds for a month was "making weight" I researched every way in the book to do it "safely" and he did it!! The funniest thing about the whole process besides the spitting contest He and I had was the meal he chose after weight-ins, a chilly-dog yep he had to have a a foot long chilly-dog, then he had to go to practice right after!! One of the coaches calls him "chilly dog" now as a nickname, I HATE IT, I had a hard time with "the Omen" last year, I'd take that one a thousand times before chilly dog LOL!
