A little down time...

My Internet was down most of the weekend. Everything is up and running, finally. I despise waiting for service people to come out.

Anyway on we go...

Saturday was Hunter's last football game and without going into the details. The game was forfeited and it was a bit scary. Look for it on Youtube. It seemed somewhere along the line some of the"adults" forgot the game was about the kids enjoying themselves, learning a bit about football and to having fun....Enough said.

Sunday's baseball game. Yeah that was OUR son that made the play of the season...(if we do say so ourselves). Crack! A hard line drive right to second base and he caught it, for the third out to end the game. Yippee... The sad thing was that I missed it. I had to leave because Kimber is sick and she couldn't stay out in the night air. She is stayed home from school today, she has a nasty cold but hopefully it will run it's course quickly and not keep her down for long.

We went to our Halloween party (thanks Uncle Dan and Aunt Nancy for babysitting). It was fun, I dressed as a referee and Paul was a tourist. He wore his floppy hat, and zinc on his nose. Funny.

Have a good week...

The Games

Saturday's football game was great they won, one more game to play and it's against Torrance.

Sunday's baseball game was a LONG one. I think it was only like 3 innings and it took over an hour and a half...a real snooze that was. Hunter did good; he hit the ball once and got hit once (lol...whatever it takes to get on that base).

This weekend we have a Halloween party (no kids), anyone want to babysit?

Boo!

Happy Birthday to me...

Yeah I had a Birthday this week...Can you believe it? I'm 45 years old. Ha, how many of you feel really old now? I had a great day, I got some very nice cards and gifts (thanks to all of you) and Paul and the kids gave me a beautiful watch. We went out to dinner, and even though Paul tried I didn't get embarassed at the resturant. We sit down and he says to the waitress, "I'd like you and the whole resturant to know it's my wife's birthday". He's very good at that stuff.

Tonight we have a Pizza night with the families we went on vacation with. We always have so much fun together, lots of laughs and I always end up laughing so much my stomach hurts. Can't wait for that.

Tomorrow Hunter's game is in Redondo Beach, hopefully his Aunts and Uncles can make it @ 12:30. He says he is going to get 10 flags. I'll report the results later. It's the second to the last game of an undefeated season. GO Tigers -rarrrrr!

What the Chicken?!

Okay, for those of you who know Hunter. You know how funny he is, actually he and Daddy are EXACTLY alike. Well a couple of month's back Hunter started saying; "what the chicken strips is that all about?" now it's just; "What the Chicken?". Well the other day while I was in Target I see these costumes for animals and what do they have; a Chicken hat...So yeah, I had to get it for Coco and Kitty. I snuck in and put it on Coco, and I thought Hunter was going to pee his pants, he laughed so hard (that's the Valenzuela in him). So anyway, that is what this is all about, and you can see how much Coco loves her Halloween costume. Kitty well He won't be caught dead in such a thing, therefore no picture of him...yet!

ps. Love the tooth, a face only a mother can love.

Look who's on the cover...

Kimber our Girl Scout Star...

This picture was taken 2 summers ago, these are her buddies Kiandra and Sara.

It's kind of hard to see but you can see it really well on their website http://www.gscglb.org/ you can go there it's on the middle of the home page and click and make it bigger it's a cute picture of the girls.

Baseball Sunday

Hunter plays Fall ball a real casual league, it's to get the little guys ready for kid pitch. They don't keep score but Hunter did well; he hit it and got on base fielded a few balls. It was fun.
Before the game we went to lunch/dinner with Grandpa and then went to the game. He likes to watch the kids play.

The kids received their 1st quarter progress reports; they both did excellent. Surprisingly well in behavior, hmmmm. I suppose that is ultimate goal; how they behave in public and in school, even if they are hellions at home. Ha!

Have a good week!

Football...the wind bowl

Wow, was it windy and chilly this morning. We had to be at the field at 6:45 for Hunter's game. He plays on the Tigers team. They are undefeated, we've never had a team score more than one touchdown on us. We had a little scare today I think they scored twice. I think the final score was 23-13, the reason why I don't know is because the wind blew down the score board. Hunter pulled two flags today he's doing really well this year. The picture is a collage that a photographer made, it's got Hunter and Daddy. It's really nice.

Tomorrow is baseball. I'll post those results the next time. We are now off to a pool party for the Team..Brrrrr

See ya!

While we were on vacation in August. We had our living room redone. We had the carpet taken up and the hardwood floors refinished, walls textured, painted, new moldings and baseboards. It was nice that it happened while we were off enjoying oursleves. Here are some pictures of our new living room/dining area

Our vacation. We went with three other families to San Diego, here is a website of our vacation http://sandiegoorbust2008.shutterfly.com/

Enjoy

Just another Tuesday...

Yesterday I was feeling like such a bad mom. I forgot to put Hunter's hearing aids in. I emailed his teacher and asked how he was doing and she replied saying, he's doing just fine. Good but now I hear, "see mom I told you I didn't need them". Not a great step in the struggle of getting him get used to them. He's doing better at first it was, "why me - no one else has them" I felt really bad, and tried to explain that God made him special, etc. It was still rough on him.
Anyway the day went on. Kimber and I went to Girl Scouts and Daddy and Hunter had a boys night out, plus homework, showers and bed...then it was ah, feet up and watch dwts...
