Air bud?

I hesitate posting this one, but it's always nice knowing your children have tender hearts('cause honestly some days you wonder). I was in the other room doing some vacuuming (yes mother all your efforts paid off) when all of a sudden I heard this hysterical crying coming from our bedroom. Ty was in there on our bed watching Air Bud for the first time and I thought maybe he'd fallen off of the bed, or jumped into the ceiling fan, or ..... I ran in there and he was just fine physically but apparently Air Bud had gotten lost on the show and Ty was so upset it took a couple of minutes for him to settle down to be able to tell me what had happened. I couldn't help it I had to record it(the video quality didn't turn out too good because I took it on my phone, but you get the idea). Then to top it off, later that day when Tristyn got home from school she wanted to watch it and again I was in the other room (probably mopping or something) and I hear this snuffling coming from the bedroom. I walk down and this time Tristyn is in tears at the same point in the show that had Ty in hysterics. She wouldn't let me take her picture though. So the moral of the story is if you haven't seen Air Bud, take a box of tissues with you when you do.

Oh beautiful.....

My old buddy John called me up and asked me to go 4-wheeling with him Friday, so I was able to take off half a day and head up in the mountains. I was surprised how much snow there was up there already. I'm also always surprised at just how beautiful the mountains are. It certainly brought to mind that song "America the beautiful", as we looked over the snow filled mountains. We are so blessed to be able to enjoy God's wonderful creations in this wonderful nation. I hope I can always remeber the sacrifices of the many women and men who have given so much so that we may enjoy the things that sometimes I take for granted.

"Jazzed" up

As another Jazz season begins, Ty and I had to don our Jazz gear and raise our Jazz flag. Ty could hardly stand it he was so excited (o.k. maybe that was me, Ty took a little more convincing). I tried to talk Tristyn into the tradition as well but she didn't want any part of that "stupid boy stuff". That means I get to stay home when the girls go shopping right? I'll have to work that angle. GO JAZZ!

Fall Fun

Is it just me or has halloween turned into a week long event? Between school parades, and parties, and trunk or treating, and trick or treating, church primary parties, Halloween seemed to be a lot longer than when I was a kid. We all had a good time though. We finished Halloween night out with a ride on the hay wagon, and watching Michael Jackson thriller video (for the record that isn't our video). We got just enough sugar in us to follow Halloween night up with a sod throwing party at Tracey's brother Tyler's house. Thank goodness for all of that candy. I can't wait to send Freckles over to leave a surprise on Tyler's lawn, since his dog Emmitt leaves me a little treat about everyday. Talk about trick-or-treat, that falls under both categories.
