Wresting match at mead

You know it is going to be a good match when there is already a firetruck and ambulance there before the action even starts.

Ike at weigh-in. a whopping 87 lbs.

Yes folks, he is this tough.

Heading out to the mat

the second match lasted all of 21 seconds. the kid was awesome. pinned all his opponents. dan wonders about the legality of that move. it is still being debated. ike got a silver and was really happy with that. next week we are at university high.

Lincoln Heights Ward Talent Show 2010

My bestest buddies, Kathryn and Brinn. last names withheld to protect identities. we had so much fun much to our hubbies embarassment. and of course several teenage children were humiliated by the performance and may require counseling as a result. mwaaa haaa haaaa.

I put together a routine for the YW too. they got an award. they were such good sports. thank you so much girls for letting me play with you!!!

not much

nothing really of note has been going on in our house.

anna is on another round of steriods which makes her super, super moody. she got mad at her leg the other night and beat herself up. YIKES!

practice continues for ike. he got a small cut below his left eye. but other than that he is moving right along.

this week daniel want so work for the Army Corps of Engineers. I will let you know what he wants to do next week.

jakey wants to do his first bike race. i wish they had those around for little kids. i wonder what it would take to get one going.

the lizards shed their skin this week. that was really a cool suprise. we did not know they did that. we have a lovely sample from spiderman.

and that's about all folks. so from the great white north. Good day!

Take down tourny at Mt. Spokane H.S.

We got through the take down tourney. it is the longest tourney of the season. the kids are getting used to it after eight years. i wish i could say the same. i get so nervous for the little guy. i am shocked the camera is as steady as it is. you can hear the little cheer section chanting " isaac, isaac"

now i do enjoy the sight seeing at these things. fascinating what comes out of the woodwork. i saw six kids with regular Mohawks. one kid with a bright green Mohawk, a kid with a mullet Mohawk. business in the front, party in the back, shaved up the sides. his parents hate him. say a kid named shamrock. yep, honest truth. and four girls wrestling one in just a singlet and sports bra! yikes!!! i think i will make up some rules of wrestling etiquette.

1. If you have more than two children you are no long allowed to wear lowrise jeans with hot pink g-string panties. no one wants to see that.

2. I am sorry your dreams of pro-wrestling career fell through. Don't try to make your NINE YEAR OLD live them.

3. two words "PERSONAL SPACE"

4. Don't yell at the refs. they are high school boys trying to earn an easy $50. i am sure your kid's wrestling career will not be stunted by one missed point.

5.and finally. yelling louder will not make your kid win the match. it will only make me want to hurt you, and no kid should see there dad's butt kicked by an angry mid-thirties housewife.

thank-you.

things found while cleaning the boys room.

this is ONE wall in their room covered in fecal matter and boogers and other organic substances we could not identify at this time.

soiled underwear. approx 12 pairs.

candy wrappers. enough to fill a 4lb bag

empty yogurt container

two spoons

dried orange peels

dried banana peels

LEOGS. 10 lbs worth

cash. now belonging to me!

daniel and ike both had pocket knives under their pillows (ya, things are that rough in there)

variety of buttons

15 socks. why couldn't it be an even number?

half eaten cookies. i guess they were too full from the candy to finish the cookies.

four brass tacks

three pajama bottoms belonging to the child that like to sleep all natural

several shoes that are missing the laces. (have not found laces yet)

stringcheese wrappers.

a variety of nuts and bolts. i am afraid to scrape the dried boogers and gum off their bunk beds because that is probably what is holding them together.

1 cupcake wrapper

1 moldy orange.

my foot file. i dunno why, i don't want to know why. and i threw it away for piece of mind.

they say that 9 out of 10 deaths occur in the home. i can now see the reasoning in this because when the boys get home i am gonna kill them. not in their room of course, i just cleaned that!

If Elton John designed watches......

It would look alot like this beauty here. Ya, i know you are jealous. Holly and I found this lovely at a little bead shop in the valley. it was love at first sight and then when i saw that it was 1/2 off i knew it was meant to come home with me!! I always get lots of compliments when i wear it. Dan says it is because they are just being nice. He HATES it. which for some strange reason makes me love it even more. weird.

i should take a picture with it on so you can see how gigantic this baby is. in fact, i will be right back. well, it is at the top of the post. and i am too lazy to correct it. but i think it shows off the beauty of the watch. sadly, my wrist is pasty white. oh the joys of winter.

Crazy Hair Day at Hamblen

Last friday was crazy hair day at the kid's school. jakey was very happy with his blue mohawk until he realised that he could not wear his bike helmet and had to actually walk to school. poor baby. it is all of 1/2 a block.

i dunno if i have any "normal" pictures of jakey. he always seems to be making a face of some sort. oh well, he is easy to pick out of a crowd that way. he did not win first in his class. he said some girl with really long hair did. he said, "How can i compete with that?" i said, sissors.

Ike wore a mullet wig. yes, this is just a wig. but he loved it and now i am a bit worried. he did win first place in his class. i guess they are all too young to remember this hair do.

Ike rocking the mullet. for a moment there i thought i was at a White Snake concert. (shudder)
