Candice along with the L.H.S. band have been invited to be cast members
@ the Cowboys Football Game on Thanksgiving Day to preform with the
Jonas Brothers at the half-time show!
Kurt was able to get two tickets....two really GOOD tickets...
So Caitlyn is going to accompany Kurt...
cuz you know how teenage girls feel about the
Jonas Brothers...
Caitlyn really does need to meet them IF she's planning to marry one of them !
( don't ya think !)

See this cute little Christmas music box mouse.....
My grandma Sardoni gave this to me over 25 yrs ago....

I bet the little rodents who ate through my christmas stockings, wrapping paper, christmas lights, and tree skirt aren't as cute as this little guy !!!!

I'm going to do two things I've never done before............

*Set up my Christmas decorations really early......
AND
*Host a "Cookie Exchange"........

more detail coming soon!

Longhorn Champs....

............ This says it all..........

Spencer is happy.......

(Kurt's pretty happy too)

Only one loss the whole season,

and 3 football trophy's later !!!

They played at Lewisville High School Stadium today...

To a 10 year old boy.....that's BIG !!!

To the rest of his family....PROUD !

One Sixteen year old birthday girl........................... PLUS ...............
One "Twilight" movie = SUCCESS

All is well....

We picked Kurt up from the airport this evening...
He was supppose to be gone on business all week but,
He changed his schedule so he could be home tomorrow...
for Candice's 16th birthday....


It's funny how when he's home everything is well...
All the planets line up...
And he can hang the moon just right!

(*This was there first dance, but it won't be there last !)

Three golden tickets are bought...

My little muffinhead (c.j.) is soooooooooooooo excited
for her 16th birthday on Thursday!!!!
She has been counting down the days for so long,
I can't believe it's finally here...almost!
Thursday in school they are going on a fieldtrip....
to a museum...
and eating at a pizza joint for lunch, not that that in itself is so exciting but, when it's your birthday and you get away from school to do something different....
well, then I guess it's pretty dang exciting.....
And that's not where the fun even ends.....
This is the exciting part for all involved......
We (a whole bunch, and I mean a "bunch") of us girls.. moms and daughters, are going to go to the 12:01 showing of "Twilight" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think that movie could have come out on a
better day !!!
Seeing "Twilight" on your 16th birthday----
Does it get any better than that !!!!!
(Not for one 16 year old I know.....)
We're going to the 'Blue Goose' for dinner and then a long and fun wait in a crazy line with crazy teenagers and crazier moms, and that's only the people I know....
imagine all the other "crazy's" in line !!!!
I'm going to have to take a nap before this one!!!

The single mom thing again....
This time not too bad...
Just 3 days...
I can handle that! right???

Follow the Prophet...

What's wrong with this picture?

Nothing.....

I'll take fresh tomatoes anyway I can get them!


Last spring Kurt said "We have a tomato plant!"
I was ecstatic with joy...
(I love tomatoes...garden tomato...
I think that's how Lynzie got her red hair!)
anyway, so we put up the garden ladder and watered the cement wall once in a while, and wah-laa ....
fresh cement tomatoes at my fingertips!
You know how those little things grow..
We have been eating them all summer...
I was just reminded of how "strangely fun" it was today as I made taco's and needed of course some tomatoes,
I just opened my back door and picked a few!
I'll have to pick the rest of them soon,
my weatherman said
"it's going to get colder next week."
So, the morale of the story is:
In these hard times, you don't need a garden, you just need a cement crack and you can plant anything,!
next year maybe some
corn, peas, and a pumpkin will come up!!!


So, come on over,
AND eat fresh tomatoes from my cement garden!!!

Life is good!

What a difference a day makes...

I woke up HAPPY this morning !!!
Hooray !!!!

WHATEVER !!!

It's one of those days I woke up MAD !
I think I said a little swear word under my breath
even before 7:30 A.M.!!!

But... I get to go to my favorite resturant
~~~SWEET TOMATOES~~~
with my favorite girlfriends !!!

So that will make me happier....

I know, I know in blogville your not suppose
to get mad...
but sometimes that's just the way it is!

S-C-O-R-E

You know how I feel about turquoise....
thanks Kurtis!
Roswell, New Mexico isn't so bad after all!

A new time and season......

There is a time and a season for everything...
Kurt and I just hit a new "season" in our lives,
Our Sixteen year old daughter ---DATING---
It happened yesterday afternoon about 1:00...
the 'knock' came at the door !!!
But before the 'knock', I walked downstairs and could smell
something so sweet..........perfume......huh.
and then the 'knock'..........it all happened so fast !
Luckily Kurt and I know "the knockers' parents very well...
we have worked along side them through out the marching band season.
that helps take the sting out of it...
'The knocker' was very nice, tall, dark, handsome and buff,
he even got my sense of humor.......HA
and so I felt okay with giving up my parental control for a few hours...
A good time was had by all....
A postive first experience for Candice,
And that's what it's all about!

Not too shabby to take 2nd in the
City League of Lewisville!!!
The Longhorns were undefeated this season...
(today was there first loss)
Good Job Spencer !oh, poor guy....
I didn't relize until I posted the picture,
he is covering up "2nd place" on his trophy !
now THAT breaks my heart...

Where for art thou?

Today I really really miss Steve....
I miss his knowledge that only he could impart,
I miss his incredible attitude of postiveness!
(is that even a word? it is now!)
I am thinking if I write that I miss him and get it out there,
that I won't miss him so much....

wow!
that was fast!
it worked!

This is about the time I am glad that I live here instead of there....
I am still enjoying the nice warm weather here...
My weatherman tells me there is already snow accumulation...
and below freezing....
Just thinking about it makes me want to take my
flip-flops off...
and put socks on or something...
Oh, by the way Obama is the new President...
either your real happy about it or your really not...
But the most important world news event...
I cut my hair off...

I'm doing the single mom thing again this week !
Kurt left for another business trip---
This time to New Mexico...
You know turquoise jewelry is my favorite !

Lynzie's Special Day

They did it again today....20-0

The countdown has began until my beautifuls'
SwEet sIxTEenTh birthday !!!
