Week 10 March 7-13

Congratulations CCMS wrestling team! For those of you who don't know, they took 1st place at state for the second year in a row. So proud of them. Kenzie takes stats for the team and left on Friday for Woodburn. She got home Saturday night at around midnight. The team was escorted into town by the police dept and all of the parents honking and waiving through town. Too bad it wasn't during the day but it was really cool to see. Kenzie was so excited to be a part of it.

Saturday JJ and I went to the sportsman show. We found all kinds of things that if we had money we would love to have. But, we settled for some spices from the Garlic place. Love their stuff.

Kenzie had her last volleyball game on Sunday. She played great. Her team was undefeated up to the last game. They really had to play as a team and work for it. In the end, Kenzie served the last 5 serves and they won the championship. They were all crying and got t-shirts. So proud of her for all of the things that she works so hard to accomplish.

Week 9 Feb 28 - March 6

Wow, I can't believe it's March already. Soon I will be 32. Yikes. I have to say it really does not bother me too much right now. I think this is actually one of the best times in my life. My kids are old enough to take care of themselves but they still need me, I have a job, good husband, GREAT friends and lots to be thankful for.

What happened last week. Well, lets start with our drive home form the coast on Monday. So did not want to leave. I wish we would have taken a whole week. It was so nice and relaxing to just get away and not have plans. The kids were great and we got some adult time at the casino. Ahhh, the casino. That place is just mean. I put money in....nothing comes out. So I love the wheel of fortune game and it just took all of my money. Damn you Vanna. John Wayne was good to me for a while and then he sole my money like a bank robber. I just kept pushing that button though waiting for the big John Wayne Bonus. Bonus', thats another killer. I just keep playing because I want to hit it big on the bonus. Let me tell ya, it's all worth it when you spend ten dollars to get a dollar bonus. Oh yeah. I am in the money now. Needless to say, I won't be able to persue my gambling career right now. Back to Monday, the drive home was pretty hairy. The roads were nasty. I made JJ drive. I was too scared. I know, chicken. But let's face it, I don't have the best driving record. We did make it home safe and sound.

Tuesday through Friday was really just back to the real world. Nothing great to report. Saturday I had to work a few hours. Let's just say I am glad I have Monday through Friday but it was so quiet. That part was kind of nice. Went to my Mom's for dinner and Cheyenne and Jason were there with Stratton. That little guy is so cute. He is full of fire. Sunday Kenzie had a volleyball game. She played great. Her team took third and they were disappointed but they really did a good job. So proud of her and her hard work.

So that's it, another boring Joyner week! :-)

Week 8 - February 21-27

Well nothing grand to report for last week. The kids did not have school on Monday and Tuesday and Tannon was sick on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday we left for the coast. It was so good to get out of town. When we got settled in the house we rented we went to the casino for the seefood buffet. We dropped the kids off at the house and went back to the casino for a parents night out. None of us won anything but we had a good time. We got home around 2:30. Yikes. Three of the four kids were still awake. Christy and I got up the next morning for our spa day. Let me tell you, it was wonderful. It felt so good to just be pampered and relax for a while. After the spa the boys called us and they had taken the kids clamming. So Christy and I in flip flops and sweats headed to the bay to see how they were doing. They had gotten a few of them. However, I went to sit in the car after just a couple of minutes because me newly pedicured feet were numb. We spent the rest of the day just hanging out at the house. We watched movies and just relaxed. Sunday we took the girls shopping. That evening we were having a seafood boil for dinner. OMG it was so good. Minus the nosey neighbor who was a total jerk about us cooking the boil outside. Like if it was inside it would not smell up the house. Crazy old crochity man with nothing to do. We came home on Monday. I can't seem to get my mind on working today. I am just wishing I was still at the spa.
