FAMILY

While in Phoenix I visited family. My sister came from the snow and my Uncle Chip stoped by since he lives in Phoenix. After the game Jami, Chip, Chip's wife Colleen and I went back to our hotel room to discuss rasing teenagers. Chip and Colleen have three teenage boys, Jami has two and I have one. We laughed til we cried. Can't wait to do it again. There just insn't anything like getting together with family and talking about stuff.

Soccer in Phoenix

So it all starts out with a friendly game of World cup in the pool. See coach smiling. See the boys smiling.

Then it gets serious. See coach not smiling. See boys not smiling. Hey whos' that boy not listening!

And we are off. Lost 3 won 1. Had more fun than won games. Good team experience. And great sun!

Peace and Love

Peace and love. Two of the main characteristics of happiness. I didn't say Joy because you can still be in a place where you are not experiencing peace and love but still feel joy. But, happiness comes from being at peace. When you are at peace with yourself, you are free to love.

On a clear day we can see forever!

Here it is the link to our trip we won. I still can't believe it but now it is booked. We are going over Thanksgiving. My hubby thought that would be good for his work and we are hoping that the Carter family will take care of our kids. It is an all inclusive beach front room. I still can't believe this happened to me.

This is Little Miss Bossy Boots! Her name is Tekee, not sure how to spell it but doesn't matter you can just call her Bossy Boots and she is just fine. She spent the weekend with us and my dog Larry was stalked the whole time she was here. She comes in Fri. morning and immediatly goes to Larry's toy box to take out and find his favorite toy. Once found, she horded it and when he actually tried to take it back, she sassed him so loud, he came running to me with his tail between his legs.

When she figured out that his spot was on the love seat she took that too. And when I put his food down it was all over but the shouting. She thought that was hers too! Then I discovered if I put her food down and she wasn't hungry she would sit in front of her bowl and look at me like "please take this away, I can't watch Larry if I have to watch my bowl" With this new discovery she spent a lot of time laying in front of her bowl. Hee Hee Hee!

Sunny!

Were going to Mexico! During spring break we are going to Mexico. All of us! Some friends of ours are there with their three kids living in the Baha. We are going to visit them. I guess it is a true little Mexican town and we are renting an apartment on the beach for $350/week. This is going to be a fun family vacation!

Then I bought one ticket to our church's school auction. It was a $10 ticket so I only bought one. I won the Grand Prize a trip to Cabo San Lucus. Flights for two, and an all inclusive resort on the beach for 7 nights. Now that is going to be fun. And we are not taking the kids. We have to take it between May and December of this year. We are thinking maybe over Thanksgiving. Yahoooooooooo!
