Happy Thanksgiving!!

I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! We are headed, in just a few hours, to California for the holiday, and we'll be back Sunday night. It will be a little warmer than home but I heard it is supposed to be raining there too. We are going to be at the beach and it is always hard to be near the beach when it is raining because my boys still want to go out to the water! I'm packing their wetsuits (just in case) I know, I'm such a sucker!! :) Well, I hope everyone has a great weekend and eats lots of good food! Happy Thanksgiving!

Football Banquets

Football is officially over. Saturday night Ryan's team had a party at Jump N' Jaxs (I forgot my camera! oops) then last night Tyler's 4th grade team had a really nice banquet at a hotel. We had a full dinner, slideshow, autograph time for the boys and awards. Each boy got a trophy, a framed action picture of themselves, a cd of the slideshow, and an autographed picture of an NFL player from the Houston Texans. Our coach is friends with him and the player personalized each picture with his autograph. It was really cool! Tyler's team took second in the league and they can't wait and are already pumped to be 1st next year! All three boys did such an awesome job this year in football and were great teamates! We can't wait until next year! Way to go Warner Boyz!

Twilight! I can't wait!

Ok, so a few weeks ago a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to go to a showing of the movie Twilight. I had heard about the series and I love movies so of course I said, "Yeah I wanna go" Her sister in law rented out the whole movie theater this Saturday morning for this movie. I thought "it had to be good if she was doing that!!" I have quite a few friends that have been into this series but I never thought about picking it up and reading it...until...last week was the book fair at our school. I was working there and another friend of mine was there too and she kept picking this book up and reading it between sales. She told me she has been reading the whole series and can't put it down! I just laughed and thought how silly some of these women are about these books. So, Friday night I ran to the store and as I was passing the book aisle I thought, "I am going to just stop and look at these Twilight books since I am going to see the movie Saturday" Well, I bought the first one, started reading it Saturday and finished it yesterday! I could not put it down!!! The only reason it even took me that long to read it was because I was sick all weekend and slept most of the time! I finished it yesterday afternoon and was at the store last night, bought the second one and am about 200 pages into it! I love it! I am so excited to go see the movie Saturday! What I'm told is that there will be about 200 other Twilight fans at this private showing and lots of my friends will be there and I can't wait!!! Thanks to all of you who pushed me a little to start this series!!!

Veteran's Day Choir Concert

Last night was our school's Veteran's Day Choir Concert. They did a great job. We are so proud and thankful to all of our Veteran's!

Football comes to an end!

Our cute cheerleaders hold up the sign for the boys to run through after half time

There's Tyler (#42) helping his teamates tackle the green guy!

Tyler and grandma

He's such a stud!

Today was the last tackle football game. Tyler's team went as far as the playoffs and were one game shy of winning the whole thing! They lost by one touchdown today! Our team played awesome and the boys were so energetic as were the parents. We had noise makers, the cheerleaders were doing cheers and the parents were yelling right along with them. The boys (Tyler being one) even had friends from school come out and watch them play! Thanks Ang for coming and bringing Aspen and Abbie! It was so fun to be a parent at this game and watch your son play their little heart out. The boys were so upset after loosing that most were crying after the game. They wanted to win so bad! But, the whole season was so good that they should be proud of what they accomplished. We had such a great team of boys and the parents were great too. Next year the 5th grade team is going to rock!

Another 1 bites the Dust!

Last month, Jacob lost his very first tooth. It was one of the bottom middle ones. Well, today he lost the other bottom middle one! So, he has this big gap in the bottom of his teeth. He really looks cute! He likes to put his teeth together and stick his tongue through! For his first tooth, he got $5 - just because it was the first one! So, it was so funny today when he said "Cool, tomorrow morning I'm gonna have $10, when I get $5 for this tooth and add it to my money from my first tooth!" I laughed and said, well we will have to see what the tooth fairy leaves you, remember the first tooth is special and you might not get the same this time. And his response, "Mom (he said it like I had no knowledge what so ever about the tooth fairy) she's cool and thinks I'm cool too, so I'm thinking she's gonna leave me $5 again!" I just smiled.
After I took some pics of Jake with the hole in his teeth (as he calls it) the boys were playing around so cute together. Of course this was immediately after two of them got in trouble for scheming together and squirting Jeff's shaving cream in the bath water. Supposedly, they thought it would make bubbles. Note - shaving cream DOES NOT make bubbles in the bath!!

Halloween Night

This year for Halloween I let Tyler and Ryan go trick or treating by themselves. Although, they stayed in our neighborhood and the one next to ours. They walked with their friends Scott, Trevor, Zak and Zane and for the most part it all went well. They did have two cell phones between them so Heather and I felt much better about the whole thing!! Heather and I took the younger ones out and had alot of fun. We hit the whole neighborhood! Throughout the neighborhood there were houses that had activities. Jake and Zack had fun at those houses. Jake especially liked the MCArthurs who had hangars on their garage door and you had to eat a donut off without using your hands! It was fun and all three boys came home with TONS of candy! I think we might still have some left to hand out next year for Halloween! (just kidding!!!) I hope everyone had a great Halloween!
