ECW & SMACKDOWN! H's DREAM COME TRUE!

Could anything be better than this? A ECW/Smackdown Event? "H" doesn't think so. He believes he has lived the ultimate dream. "G" took "A" and "H" to a show in Vegas last night. When they arrived home at 1:30 a.m., "H" was still on a high. I had hoped it would enlighten him as to the choreographed moves, the "non-hits" and how unreal it all is. It back fired! He's more than ever sure that it is REAL. "A" likes it too, but he isn't obsessed like "H". They had terrific seats.

Hornswoggle - I may not be spelling it correctly. The girls made posters for their brothers to hold. One was for Hornswoggle. We could see "H" on TV standing on the chair holding his sign.


This is the guy "A" loves. His name is "The Undertaker". "A" does a fabulous impression. All recent pictures of "A" have Undertaker's trademark look. It wasn't hard to know which souvenir t-shirt "A" would buy. Thanks Dad for taking off early and driving home in the wee morning hours just to be with your boys.

Happy Factory Gala

Last night was the Happy Factory Gala. The office bought a table. These little cars were "favors" for all the guests. For more information on Happy Factory, go to their website at www.happyfactory.org. G and I hosted a group of Rotarians from Brazil a few years back. We took them to the Happy Factory to show them the great service that is being provided. One lady was so touched that she started a branch of the Happy Factory in Brazil. If you are ever in town and would like to have fun, call me and we'll set up a time to work at the Happy Factory. You'll be hooked.

There was a silent auction and we won this beautiful "red work" quilt made by our dear friend, Laurel Hulet. It is all hand done. It's beautiful, even more beautiful because I have something made by my good friend.

A Good Day!

It's always a good day for Mad's when she has friends over. This is our friend Macey. These two love to play together. Thank goodness they are in the same class at school! Duke & Ellie like to get in on the photo opportunities. Tomorrow they go for a "spa treatment" (shampoo, cut, pet-icure, etc.)
Mak was frustrated doing Algebra homework....i think she ran out of fingers to count on. Mom certainly can't help when it comes to Algebra.

Grandma's Birthday

Today is Grandma's birthday. We took her for Chinese food. The pictures didn't turn out too well. Mak's camera is conveniently small, but we can't seem to figure it out. We love and appreciate our Grandma.

GOLF, RUN, WHEEZE

A had a wonderful experience making the golf team for CHS. Making the golf team does not ensure playing in tournaments. Each week the players must "qualify" for the upcoming week's tournament. A had the misfortune of not qualifying each week. Finally, he qualified for the very last tournament. He placed fourth on his team of six. The top four scores contribute to the team score. I'm sooooo proud of him.

H also had a great accomplishment this week. We all know that H isn't the fastest runner. His PE class required that he finish the mile under the 10 minute mark. His best time was 11:26. We practiced the night before the run. Dad taped him up because he is unstable in is stance and walk. We took to the track. With all of us cheering and pushing him, he shaved off 45 seconds. Still not enough time to finish his 10 minute goal, but what an accomplishment. Then the next day at PE, he took the challenge and was a huge success. He finished at 9:25.

Mad has had a bout with asthma and pneumonia this week. I took her to the pediatrician who indicated pneumonia and we treated with breathing treatments and a z-pack. Still not better a few days later so I took her to a specialist, who said the complete opposite of what the pediatrician said. Dang doctors! Don't they know they just confuse me. After giving her 25 shots for allergy tests (oh yeah....she doesn't have allergies, just asthma....dah, ya think?), I'm sure I'll be sick when I receive the bill.

Congrats to my friend Amy for getting a blog. I've added you to my friends list. C'mon Colette...you can do it too.

An Update on the Blog Just So The Teeth Are Gone!

There have been many requests to update the blog....no one will admit that they have been frightened by the teeth....(it is a little scary!). Perhaps later this afternoon I'll have some pictures to add to the blog....A's in his first high school golf tournament in St. George today, Mad is going to a immune specialist (hopefully) and then there is the vice-presidential debate this evening. Check back tomorrow for a better post.
