GAME #4 - RAMS 19 SOUTHERN MARIN 0

WOW! What a great game today! The Jr. Pee Wee's got a much needed win today! The kids are all playing so well together as a team! I never thought I'd love football so much :-)))

Justin is also on the kick off team...the Gunner...he had a great play today on kickoff when the other guy dropped the ball and Justin was able to get it between his feet and onther Ram got the ball for a turnover!
Cool pic....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BABY BOY JOSHY!!

WOW!! It's so hard to believe that MY BABY is 4 years old today! He is just growing up way too fast! Joshy is definetely a little stinker at times so he's lucky he's so cute and funny! Now that he is 4 we are really going to have to crack down on his potty mouth...for some reason when a 3 year old says something it's funny, but not a big 4 year old! Joshy is the Special Person of the week and will celebrate his birthday at Preschool on Thursday and then on Sunday we will have his party!!! He can't wait! Happy Birthday Joshy!

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE

Our friend Baylee (and another future Daughter-in-law of mine, heehee!!) went to see So You Think You Can Dance last weekend with 3 of her friends and her 2 dance instructors. After the show they spotted the dancers heading to their bus and were able to meet all of the final 10 dancers, get autographs and take pictures!! How exciting for the girls, who are all dancing queens! With Baylee's permission, she said I could post this pic with her (2nd from left) and her favorite and winner Benji!! How cute are they?!?!?

GAME #3 - SAN MARIN PONY'S 7 RAMS 6

The score shows San Marin with the win, but the Rams were the real winners! They totally outplayed the Pony's defensively & offensively but just could not come up with the win for the books! Overall, the Jr. Pee Wee's are doing great! And, despite Justin being out of school sick for 3 days he did his job today!

Here's a link to some great pics of Justin #12 taken by a professional action photographer who comes to the home games. This was from last weeks game. http://www.photoreflect.com/scripts/prsm.dll?myphotos?a=320467

BUNCO BIRTHDAYS!

It's that time of year again!! Bunco Birthday Celebration!! As most of you know, my Bunco group celebrates Birthdays 3 times a year! This time we were celebrating Sheila, Joanna, Stacie, Kim, Melissa & Tammy! It is always a great night of good food and LOTS of laughs...last night was no different...can you say POP!!! We were missing a few of our friends-Alisa who was in Las Vegas (so sad I know :-)) ) Debbie who has family in from out of state and Joanna, who is a birthday gal, but has moved to Washington. We missed you guys! Sometimes it is a bit tough coordinating 16 girls to go out to dinner but we did it!!! Kim, sorry you missed meeting the TOP 10 Dancing With the Stars finalists and Sheila missing Elton John...now we know where your priorities lay...friends, food & a little drink!! heehee!! Until next time....

BB7 ALLSTARS & ROCKSTAR SUPERNOVA FINALES

BIG BROTHER ALLSTARS....Well, Mike Boogie is the big winner! I was rooting for Boogie once Janelle was booted. I was not an Erica fan but I still thought some comments that Boogie made about her were rude and not necessary!! Did anyone see the 3 of them on The View today? Rosie was pretty mean to him! (I normally don't watch T he View but Justin was home sick today). I will say I am a huge Janelle fan and glad she won the America's Choice 25,ooo bucks and hope her & Dr. Delicious get together outside of the house! HOw cute are they together?!?!?

Okay, now for ROCKSTAR SUPERNOVA....am I the ONLY person who IS NOT a Lukas fan?!?!? Anyone else could have won and I would've been happy! He just does nothing for me...I don't know what it is I'm just not a fan! :-((( Lukas, if you're reading this I'm sorry! For one thing I can hardly understand a thing he is singing, but then again maybe that's how he's supposed to sound-who knows! Can you imagine Joshy having a conversation with him???

Anyways, now that my two summer shows are over what am I going to do....oh yeah, Fall shows are starting and now I really won't have a life!!! Thanks god for TIVO!

GAME #2 - RAMS 12 SOUTHERN MARIN BRONCOS 7

Good job Jr. Pee Wees!! They all played great and WON today!! We are very proud of Justin...for his first year we think he's doing a great job! He's got great coaches who are teaching him so much. Thanks Momo and Papa & Aunt Kelly and Brian for coming to watch! Justin was very excited you guys were there! And thanks to our friends who came out also!! You're all the best!!

BIG BROTHER ALLSTARS & ROCKSTAR SUPERNOVA FINALES

Who do you think will win ....

Big Brother?
Mike Boogie or Erika??
I am now rooting for Boogie since Janelle (and Will) is gone! Go Boogie!
How sad/funny was it last night when Boogie made the phone call in the DR?? Steph??

Rockstar Supernova?
Toby, Dilana, Lukas or Magni?
This one is tough! I like Toby, Dilana & Magni. Lukas kinda freaks me out-I don't know why but he does. Maybe 'cuz he wears more makeup and uses more hair product than I do?!??!!! I've been a Dilana fan all along but the past few weeks she weirded out a bit. So, I'm going with TOBY!!! He's cute to look at and can rock!!

JOSHY'S BIG DAY!!!

The day has finally come!!! Joshy started Preschool today! It sure has been a long wait for him!! He had a great day and had so much to tell me when I picked him up. There are alot of cute little kids in his class and I'm sure he'll be making lots of new friends! He said he cannot wait until tomorrow for Preschool and I didn't have the heart to tell him he's only going on Tuesday & Thursday. It's really hard to believe he's a big preschooler now. My, how fast my baby is growing up! Hard to believe he will be 4 in a few weeks!!

On his way... I'm not sure what the goofy smirk is about! "The" Teacher Laura and Mr. Bret in the background....
Waiting to be dismissed....
And, the big question I'm sure you are all dying to know..."What did you do with your 3 hours"???? Well, I went and had coffee then off to Borders to pick up something for Justin....real exciting!! I cannot get into the habit of going to coffe for 2 hours!!! I need to be productive :-)))

THE CROCODILE HUNTER, STEVE IRWIN DIES

VERY VERY SAD NEWS TO WAKE UP TO TODAY!

According to the story on Yahoo! News he was killed by a stingray on the Great Barrier Reef. Very sad, our whole family loved watching the Crocodile Hunter and would just crack up at the things he would say!

GAME #1 PETALUMA 7-RAMS 6

Well, here they are in their game gear! Their first game was very exciting, and despite the loss the kids did a great job! I want to say Justin #12 looks so "cute" in his uniform but that sure isn't a tough football term..... And, the "Chain Gang" did a great job as well :-)) Joe, Tom, the ref and Chuck....

more pics here...I can't seem to get good pics, I have a hard time watching the game & taking pics...there is just too much action and it all happens so fast! Maybe next week!

JUSTIN & WOLFIE...3rd GRADE VS. 6th GRADE

Okay, I just came across these pics and couldn't resist!!!

I think this is 3rd grade?? Steph, is that right??? The boys have only been in class together twice-3rd grade and now 6th. How PRECIOUS are they?!??! Gosh, Justin still looks the same really but Wolfie is SO grown up looking now!!! It's hard to believe they have been buddies for 9 years now!!!

3rd graders... Big 6th graders.....

HAPPY 92nd BIRTHDAY GRAMMY SUE!

Today is Grammy Sue's 92nd birthday! We hope that she has a great day today. I know she is not reading this but I just wanted everyone to send happy thoughts her way today! We will be going up to see her soon!! Everyone knows Grammy Sue is the best!! We love you!!! Years ago we took her some baby roses when we went to visit. The next time we went up to see her she sent them back with us, dead, and Joe transplanted them by our front door! Now everytime we walk thru the front door we think of Gram!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY!

Happy Birthday to

Joe's Baby Brother!!

Hope you have a

great day today

do!

The boys wish

their "Uncle Randy"

a HAPPY HAPPY

Birthday!!

HAPPY 3 DAY WEEKEND MY FRIENDS!

It really is hard to believe it is September already! WOW! This year is flying by! This weekend always feels like summer is officially over :-((( I love summer and am not ready for winter! We are having a pretty kick back weekend. No big plans...except, Justin's FIRST football game Sunday! We are all very excited though I will admit I am a bit nervous for him!!! The kids have been working SO HARD for the past 5-6 weeks and I know they will do great! Hope you are all having a great weekend and having FUN whatever it is you are doing!!!

SHOES THAT MAKE YOU GO HHHMMM.....

Okay, ya'all thought the Crocs were different when they first came out...now get a look at these shoes!! My Mom just got these Z Coil shoes....no offense Momo but they are pretty funky! Actually, they are the official Pain Relief Shoe and they are made to ease foot, leg and back pains. Kind of an interesting concept! I'm thinking they could of put some sort of chunky heel to hide the spring! You can get more info at the zcoil website. They actually come in many different styles! I thought my Mom had taken up the sport of Pogo when we first saw her, or even practining her jump shots or something!

JOSHY'S PRESCHOOL OPEN HOUSE

Finally, Joshy's big day is ALMOST here!! He officially starts preschool on Tuesday!! He is so excited and can hardly wait! Yesterday Teacher Laura had an Open House for the kids to go check out their new classroom! Josh, of course, had a great time. It is definetly going to be an adjustment for him following rules and sharing and having a little bit of structure! God knows our life has had NO srtucture this past month and a half! After that he had his speech appointment, and good news for now, because his stuttering problem has improved his speech teacher is going to give him a month to settle into preschool then see him again and go from there working on his fluency. It finally feels like we are on the road to getting on a better schedule....I can hardly wait for the SIX hours a week to myself! What shall I do with myself?!?!?
