Homecoming Victory!

Braeden had a great homecoming game today. The score today was 26-13 Wahooo! He went for a touchdown and got so close! They are still undefeated and we are keeping our sights on the superbowl. Today was pretty big though. For homecoming, we had a procession, homecoming king/queen, posters, mums, and the whole gammet. Braeden is LOVING football (it is a religion here in Texas) Lots of practice and hard work, but he thrives in it. He plays, running back, sometimes quarterback anddefensive back.

Beach

Ok, so I have not been the greatest blogger lately. I have been trying to get caught up on my photobooks for this year. So , I am killing 2 birds with one stone. Maybe I will actually write a little later.

Division A Champion!

Braeden won the Division A championships tonight and it was CLOSE! My voice is almost gone from screaming so much! He made some great plays at 2nd and hit some great balls. It is his first year at machine pitch and he is the youngest on his team- he was not at all intimidated by it. Gotta Love it! The score was 22 to 21 and they were a hard team to beat. We had 2 outs and it was tied, a player at 1st and 2nd. What a nail biter- but whack! the 2nd made it home- You can hear the crowd cheering cant you? It was AWSOME! I cannot wait until next season! So proud of you Braed.

Chore Chart

Thanks to Angie for finding this great project and www.howdoesshe.com , I have my summer chore chart done! I know, I know, mine is VERY colorful, but I intentionally did it that way. I want my boys to see it front and center every morning. I am excited to use it. Now, I have to wait until summer because I have MANY things for my kids to do and they cant possibly do it on a school day. I of course will not make them do all the sticks every day. That would be crazy. They get to pick one out of the "hard jobs" like clean the toilet.(My favorite for them to do. They get to see their wonderful misses and it helps them to stop if they have to clean it) They then pick one from the middle of the road like unload dishwasher, then their regular everyday have to's like clean their room. Cleaning is always more fun when little stickers, sticks, or charts are involved. Now, if I could only get myself motivated by a stick. any ideas??

Quote of the day

Quote of the day:

On the way to school, Braeden was driving like a mad man on the sidewalk, nearly crashing every time. This was done of course on purpose. I said, Braeden, what are you doing?! His reply :

"Mom, I have to live like this so I have some stories to tell my kids!"
