Middle School Fun Run/Catlin Soccer Picture

Caleb and Catlin's Middle School have a Fun Run every year, they have guest speaker's from the University of Wisconsin come and talk about fitness and of course Bucky Badger always makes an appearance. We live right down the road from the school so the whole school runs by our house, of course Cassie and I have to stand out at the edge of the driveway and cheer (embarrass) on Caleb and Catlin.

Cassie has her 3rd session of skating tonight and Caleb has the beginning of Hockey tryouts...... Catlin gets a night off!

Camera Phone

I finally got a mini card for my camera phone, the pictures aren't great but since i hardly ever have my main camera with me this will help. Just some pictures, nothing much going on. Oh yeah, how could i forget

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!

The Feel Great Liquid Vitamin

At one of the Hockey tournaments we noticed a vendor set up selling "Vibe" VIBE is a product for our times – a blend of essential nutrients, powerful antioxidants, concentrated minerals and vitamins, and green tea extracts make it an exceptional cellular defense product, ideal for combating free radicals that ravage our bodies every day.

With all that said, i bet you wonder how it tastes...... well you are to mix 1 oz daily with any drink you like. I chose to mix mine with Sunny Delight..... it was horrible. I've had 4 kids without any type of pain medicine but it takes me 20 minutes to get this stuff down.

I promised i would stay on it for a month, our whole family is trying this. I better start feeling like a new person real soon because right now i just feel nauseous.

I will even post the website for you so that you can enjoy your own OZ of Vibe

SOCCER SOCCER AND MORE SOCCER

We spent the entire weekend at soccer. Caleb had a tournament so he played 1 game on Friday 1 game on Saturday and 2 games on Sunday. Catlin had her 1st game of the season on Sunday. They won 1-0 Catlin scored the goal for her team. GO CATLIN!!!!

Caleb's team made it to the championship and they placed 2nd in the tournament. GO CALEB!!!!

Cassie..... well she was cheering on the sideline as usual, she didn't run away as much this weekend as she has in the past.... maybe turning 3 has brought on a more mature stage......hahahahaha that even makes me laugh! here are some more pictures of Caleb's game, i don't have any of Catlin because Sony was not giving out cameras to use at her game.

hints for Christmas....... Sony sports camera, the camera itself is 600... the lens is another couple of hundred, don't' feel any pressure!

Caleb's team, he is in the top row next to the goalie in black

Cassie does not give up easily, you have to drag her around she was throwing her ball in the air

throw in

1st game of Caleb's Soccer Tournament

Caleb had his first game of his tournament Friday night. They won 7-0. Sony had a big tent set up and was handing out sports cameras for parents to take pictures of their team during the game. They were really nice cameras. These are some of the pictures Tom and I attempted to take during the game. They transferred them on to a disc after we returned the camera. We checked one out during today's game also but we wont get those pictures until tomorrow, I'll post them later and we'll see if we improved any in the picture taking dept.

I believe that caleb is trying to give his goalie some kind of hand signal

a bit blurry
Caleb plays defense

I'm not sure if he actually got whacked in the eye or if it just looks like it

of course we had to get the girls

Another Day....... Another Mess

Oh what a morning, I've received one phone call after another, of course NONE of them were concerning a job for me.... I am so ready to go back to work.... doing anything.

Anyway, Cassie was sitting so nice on the couch watching chicken run that I thought I could sneak in and take a shower ALONE, usually we end up taking something called a shower/bath... part shower part bath. Well i tiptoed in and left the door slightly open so that i could peek out and see her on the couch. All was going well until I heard the bathroom door slam shut, i still had shampoo in my hair so i couldn't just jump right out. I was in there maybe a total of 5 minutes and this is the mess i came out to find.

some people in our household (not going to mention names) wonder what i do all day....... well this is part of it! Well i gotta get going.... 3 kids to take to the DR for physicals and shots.... it's payback time.

Here is the little monster sitting by part of her mess

this is the living room
this is the family room
yes this IS tortillas sitting on the computer desk
i'm not sure what the poor horse did to deserve this

Soccer, Big Red and Vacation

Soccer is back in full swing, Caleb had his first tournament last week and has another one this weekend. Catlin has her first game this Sunday.
We were able to fit in one last vacation to visit family in Michigan and Ontario before school starts. We had a really great time, it's hard being so far away from everyone.
Caleb got in some great fishing on lake Huron while Catlin and Cassie took advantage of the warm weather and great beach.
Now were back and it's time for school to start.......... goodbye to summer for another year!
