Sunday Volleyball

Bugg rocked in Albany this past Sunday. She has improved so much. Her timing, her heighth of the jump, the intensity of the hit, all of it. She was soooo good. Her past coach was there shooting some pictures, he is much better at it than I, so I stole his to show you. Enjoy!

Saturday Evening family time....

Tonight we had some down time, so we decided to play a family game. Peanut chose Pictionary, it is her favorite, her friend "honey bunches of oats" hadn't played before, but we showed her!
The girls were on the first one for quite some time. Hubs and I advanced a few spaces with minimal effort. Then the girls got the hang of it and passed us up big time. Hubs and I began to gel again and we won! It was fun.
Puddles and Bugg didn't want to join us...they headed to Sonic

I was even wearing my glasses so I could see! That helped a little :~)
Last night, Hubs and I were invited to play Pinnochle with this group from our church. It was at Buck and Vicki's house. We get invited once or twice a year. Hubs usually takes the prize as the big winner each time we play. Last night, I actually won. I did not have a losing round. I ended up with the high total and I got $12.00. Then Bugg went bowling with Dribbler and his family today, guess what she asks for? You guessed it....Money. My hard earned money from last night, handed over to the girl. The nice thing is, she returned it this evening because Dribbler's dad paid for everything. Nice, huh?
Tomorrow we have a volleyball tourney. Will be posting a blog about that.

Sunday~

Sunday afternoon was rest/play time. We rested after church, played some wii and watched the teams play in the Superbowl. We had some fun. Wii is always entertaining, the only time I play is at Sis's and it is quite the challenge for some of us technically challenged individuals. The children beat me at EVERYTHING! Yes, I came in 12th on Maria Cart racing, out of 12. It was fun. Here are some pics to remember it by....

Saturday Evening....

Carley had a Bowling Party for her Birthday. She turned 9 on the 28th. This little girl, who wasn't expected to make her first birthday is as alive as ever, running the show~as you will see from some pictures below. There are some pics of what the rest of us were doing as well. Enjoy~

Saturday Soccer Game

Saturday, after arriving at my sister's late in the evening, we got up and headed to T's soccer game. He had a home game, which meant we drove a half hour to the field vs. driving a couple of hours. He played really well, the referree made a bad call and the other team scored off the shot. So, his team lost 0-1. He was great though.

T~after making a throw in...

Friday Night

On Friday we were heading up to Sister's place. Mom and Dad had to work, the girls had school and I was lucky enough to not have to work. So I lounged around most of the day, enjoying myself and a quiet morning. I was thinking that since I had tried to get in to get my eyebrows waxed and couldn't, that maybe I had something here at home to help me. I get tired of plucking all the time. It is rather tedious. I remembered that I had some really cool little strips of wax that you just warm between your hands and then you put on the area you want to wax. So I got those out of the drawer and began waxing my eyebrows. Not too bad on the right side, could be worse, let me do a little more here, maybe there. Left side, oh, that is not enough, I definitely need more on that side. Let me do just a little more here, ouch! I think I removed a few layers of skin on that one. I look in the mirror and to my dismay, I removed more than a few hairs on my eyebrows. My left eyebrow is now polka dotted and my right is much shorter than it really should be. Well, I can't bring them back, maybe I can get my mustache! OK, that went much better, but I still have some wax on my eyebrows, how do I get that off? I ask my sister, who has two friends who are hair dresser/professional waxers. She is laughing so hard, I sent her a picture via my cell phone, then I emailed her some. They were pretty bad. She was laughing so hard she couldn't even talk to me. I have since deleted those pictures, so no, you can't see them. I then had to have them repaired on Saturday. She laughed a little, but not so much that she couldn't try to make them better. So if you look realllllllly hard, you will be able to see I had to paint some on. It's only temporary, right? Well, except for the missing skin and the large blood blister on the left, maybe the hair will grow back?????
