Toy Bowl Season Begins

I love basketball season.  So do the boys.
Today, we started with a game at 8:00 so we were at the school at 7:30.  John Michael's team was playing Our Lady of the Valley.  Brandon was nervous since it was his first game to coach and the boys were pumped.  They won 8-5 and they had a blast which is the most important thing.  Brandon says he feels much better about coaching now that he made it through the first game.  With Devane as his assistant coach and Danny in control of the book it seems that all is going to go well.

We stuck around and watch a few other games before Danny's game at 12:00.  They were playing Our Lady of Sorrows.  They won 31-11.  Danny scored for the first time in a game.  I was super proud.  He has been trying so hard and he finally did it.

Brandon and Uncle Patrick had some things to do at storage, maybe one day we will get them cleaned out.  It is nuts how much is in them.  Especially when most of it can probably be gotten rid of in all honesty.  Maybe soon.
Danny is spending the night with Chandler and Cole is spending the bight with John Michael.  They are an excited group of boys!

Birthday Party, Iron Bowl, and a NEW STOVE!!!

I was so glad to finally get some sleep last night! It does not seem like that long ago that I could go without sleep and not care about it, and it really did not affect me. That is so not the case any more.
This morning started with a birthday party for one of Danny's friends. It was a VJ's by the airport and it was great. I have got to take the boys' there soon to eat and watch the planes. Bo seemed to have a great party! Happy Birthday Bo! Danny ended up going home with Chandler from the party. They have been wanting to get together again and I am glad that it finally worked out.
Brandon, John Michael and I came home to relax and watch the Iron Bowl. WAR EAGLE! Win or Lose I love those boys in orange and blue. Alabama won, which was sort of expected, but we scored so I am not complaining. Auburn far surpassed expectations this year and are headed to a bowl game which is awesome! Next year as these boys grow they will improve and be a force to be reckoned with.
Jake, Owen, and Aubie (the boys' elves) enjoyed watching the game with us. I am glad that they are back for the season. They definitely keep things fun.
I was on a hunt for a light up trampoline for me and for a friend...no luck which was a little sad but more than that was expected.
We also went on a hunt for a new stove. HH Gregg was having a 20% - 40% off sale on all major appliances. Since my stove works a little less each day I really needed one. I want solid black since my refrigerator and dishwasher are black. They did not have one at the store, but online they did. It was almost $600 off, which is super. We ordered it and it will be shipped to the store this week I hope. I am definitely pumped.

Extra One

So today was a pretty crazy day for me while the boys were at school, I worked on some more Christmas presents. I have to get these things done. Then I cleaned out, washed and vacuumed the van! I am super glad that it is done, now I am not so embarrassed when I go through the car pool line. I wonder how long it will stay this way.
Danny had a friend come home with him today. He and Chandler are determined to stay up all night. If John Michael would go to bed, I would go there myself, but with him up I am up too! Hopefully I can be productive. Working on pictures right now.
Brandon sent me to the store to get some junk food for the boys, I knew that it was a requirement for a girl's spend the night party but was unaware it was the same theory for the boys! Now I know.
Brandon worked at Homestead Hollow so I have sent him on to bed. Hopefully I will not be far behind.
The boys are having a blast and maybe...just maybe I will be able to accomplish something while they are playing Jackpot...sounds like they are tearing walls down.
Out for now!

Weddings

So I am again writing a day behind. Sorry about that.

Danny had a blast with Chandler, and was not too happy that I had to pick him up but he and John Michael were headed to Nana's for the night. He thought it was awesome he would not be home for 2 nights in a row. I am just glad that he had a good time, that is what matters most to me. Thank you guys so much for making Danny feel at home, he had a blast!

Brandon and I spent most of the day charging batteries and getting ready for the wedding that we were working. I was obviously the photographer and Brandon the videographer. More details in the blog, but here are a few. It was at the Boutwell, and was gorgeous. I cannot wait to get to work on the pictures. I will get one up at least tonight, but still have 2 birthday parties to get edited.

Well, we were exhausted when we got home, and now I am getting off to enjoy Saturday! I hope that everyone had a great Friday.

Hot Dog Social

So today we started out early again, about 6:45 I woke the boys up and had them get going. I need them on a better routine and this seems to be working so we are going to stick to it!

I had to meet with Crystal from Crystal's Creations to pick up a wreath that she made for me for my cousin's baby shower. I also figure that it can be hung on the hospital door and on he wall close to the baby's crib. I hope that Amanda likes it as much as I do. If I had a girl, I would have a hard time giving this one away! I am definitely going to use her for a lot of things that I am working on, she is truly amazing! If you have not seen her work, please go check her out on FaceBook!

I also got the last few things that we needed for the shower. I love what I found too. I hope that Amanda does. It is lime green and hot pink and those are the colors she was aiming for! Girl, wait till Sunday, it is going to be great.

The hot dog social, which is sort of like the kick off to the school year was tonight. I cannot believe it, which seemed to be the consensus of everyone there. Seriously? School? Already? It was a lot of fun, the boosterthon DJ's were there and the boys, especially John Michael were having a ball. Danny is not much of a dancer, he got those shoes from Brandon but John Michael is like me, if there is music you dance! They also got to see their friends and teachers and other people from the school. It was really a lot of fun and it is something that I am glad the Home and School board does each year.

Danny went home with Chandler. This is his first spend the night away night and momma is a little nervous. I think he will do fine though. He is a good boy and was so excited. I am excited for him too. Chandler is his best friend and he has been wanting to spend the night for a while, so I am glad it all finally worked out. I promised him we would have Chandler over soon, but we have something every weekend this month! We will do it soon though, no doubt!

I also signed John Michael up for soccer. Danny wants to do fall ball, so needless to say we will be running all fall, but it is good and I am excited.

Brandon and I watched our wedding video tonight. It is the first time we have watched it in years. I laughed a lot, there were some funny things and to only be 10 years old it is dated, it is amazing how much has changed in 10 years. I also cried a lot because I got to see my daddy and hear his voice.

Well, I am off too bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long one, wedding tomorrow night, pray it all goes well! I am excited, but I always get a little nervous before weddings! You are all in my thoughts and prayers tonight as I go to bed!
