Week 4 Jan 24-30

Well this week was pretty uneventful really. Just the usual work and Mom stuff. JJ took Kenzie to her volleyball game on Saturday. I guess she did great! Her team worked good together. Kenzie stayed the night with some friends. I took Tannon to LaPine for the last tournament of the year on Saturday. He ended up third. He wrestled so hard against a kid that pinned him in the first round at the qualifier. He made it all the way to the third round! He really tried hard. He lost to the other kid too. He had a good time though. I think he is ready for the season to be over. To be completely honest so am I.

We booked a house with Jim and Christy in Lincoln City for the end of the month. So excited to get away for a few days. We are going to hang out at the house and just relax. Can't wait for that.

Hopefully this next week is more interesting!

Tannon's Birthday at home.


Tannon and Zachs Birthday Party at Bouncing off the Walls and Pizza.


The Qualifier


New Years Eve.

Week 3 January 17-23

Tannon's birthday was last Wednesday. I can't believe that he is 9. When I asked him what he wanted for a special birthday dinner he said polish sausage and noodle salad. I cracked up. What 9 year old picks that for a birthday dinner? Oh yeah and birthday brownies. Now that I can see. Anyway I took 1/2 day off and got to spend the afternoon with him. We ran some errands and did some shopping. We went into Giddy-Up, one of my favorite stores, and I was looking at jewlery when Tannon whispered something. So I bent down to ask him what he said and oh my goodness. It smelled so bad. About the same time he says "it stinks and it was me". I just cracked up. Needless to say we got out of there. He thought it was pretty darn funny.

Friday Christy and I left early to head to Burns for the wrestling tournament. The boys left later that afternoon. Poor Christy and I just don't get out enough. We got to burns and shopped in the two stores they have and were board out of our mind. So we went to have a drink. Once we got done with our drink we went to the high school to help the Burns wresting team with their tournament. On Saturday we ran the computer system for them. Not too bad for our first time on our own. There were only a couple minor mistakes. We were out of there by 2:30. Tannon went 2 and out. He didn't have the best wrestling day but he had a good time. Zach on the other hand took 1st place in his weight class and won the buckle. The buckles were so neat.

GREEN BAY IS HEADED TO THE SUPERBOWL. Oh yeah. Can't wait. So excited. The only thing better would be if I were going to see it live. Someday I will.

Sunday was Tannon's family birthday party. We had spagetti and I made an army cake for him. He got some new fishing stuff and some more nerf guns. Uncle Jason helped him try out the nerf guns. It was quite the battle.

Wrestling Classics - Week 2 Jan 10-16

This week was a little slower but the weekend flew by. I took 1/2 day of vacation on Thursday and was able to go home a little early. It was good to have an afternoon to get some things done. Friday Christy, Kenzie, Brandy and myself worked at the classics. We got to be table help for Crook County once so that was really fun. It was hard to pay attention to keeping time and score when your so into the matches but it was great. Saturday we worked again. We started with the high school. It got pretty tense when we got to the finals. Those coaches get a little scary. Saturday afternoon the kids started. Zach went two and out. Poor guy just didn't wrestle like he usually does. We finished on Sunday. It was sucha long weekend. I need another day off just to catch up on sleep.

Big Week - Week 1 Jan 3-9

My goodness it was a big week. First off my secret addiction of the batchelor started on the 3rd. I know it's sad but I love that show. All the drama and the girls falling for this guy in one week just cracks me up. I already have my favorites so hopefully they will pull through. There are some crazy ladies out there for sure.

I had my first call to jury duty. I have to admit I really don't mind it. Plus I am nosey so it is pretty interesting. I didn't get picked. Maybe next time.

Kenzie got her bottom braces on Thursday. She is so excited that everything has started. She has a bite plate that makes her talk funny. She does not think it is so funny though. I on the other hand am having fun with it. Now the big decision is what colors to choose. This time, black and hot pink. I know that it was possibly green and yellow for the ducks.

My friend Traci's last day at work was on Friday. I will miss her. With her and Stacy gone now I may just go crazy! Anyway she got a wonderful offer that she could not pass up and I am really happy for her.

Tannon wrestled at the qualifier on Saturday. It was a long day. We got there about 8am and didn't get to leave until about 8pm. LONG DAY. Tannon went two and out so he did not make it. He said he was off his game. Hmmm not sure about that boy sometimes.

Kenzie had a volleyball game on Sunday in Sisters. She was so excited that she got asked to play. John took her and said that she did great. So proud of that girl. She really puts a lot of effort into what she does. She twisted wrong and hurt her back though so she is recoving from that.

Tannon and Zach had their birthday parties together on Sunday. Christy and I took 9 boys to bouncing off the walls and pizza. Those boys are a crack up. They say the funniest things. I have to say those boys like the camera too. Every time they hit the slide they wanted a picture of them flipping or falling. They had a good time.

Happy New Year

What a new year! We had some friends and family over for New Year's Eve. We ended up staying up until 4:30am. Let me just say, I am way to old for that. I don't think I am caught up on my sleep yet. New Years day we didn't really do much. We just spent time trying to recover. Went to Mom's and enjoyed the hot tub and then barley made it through a movie before crashing out. Kenzie had her first volleyball tournament on Sunday and she did awesome! Her team really worked good together and they ended up getting second. She was a little upset because she had the last hit before the other team won but she did a great job. Her serves were spot on and perfect. So proud of that girl. Big week this week so you will have to tune in next Monday!
