A little busy.

I've been a bit busy these days. I'm taking classes at night at the local college and I volunteered to be the Homecoming Coordinator for Scott's youth football association. When I signed on, it was suppose to be done by Sept. 1. Of course, once I was confirmed as the coordinator, the homecoming weekend of events was moved, by the Board,  to Sept. 24-26th.  At which point I realized I was going to be very busy for the month of September and celebrating my 16th wedding anniversary at a bonfire rally for the Jr. Warriors of New Lenox!

All in all everything turned out really nice. I had a great group of ladies to work with. Here are a few pictures of things we created to make the rally and homecoming day special for all 248 kids and their families.

Flowers for 8th Grade Moms

Tattoos to show team spirit!

Bags given to all kids.

Schedule of Rally events!

 We made banners for game day and had a sponsor for small footballs that we gave fans on game day. We also, made homemade noise makers, which consists of water bottles filled with pea gravel and decorated  in orange!

We ended up with great weather and won our game!!!

Kind of sounds like a "Sale" ad

Scott coming home after 1st day of 8th Grade!



It's hard to believe my kids are in 6th and 8th grade. The time has truly gone by so fast. Scott has grown and changed his looks so much, just since April of this year, that I can't believe he's the same kid. In a way he is not. He's developed a cool, calm, presence about himself and loves to be physical.

Annabelle and Scott both have a way of making others smile and have the greatest sense of humor! They both are excellent students and are happy to help out around the house, if they remember that you asked them to! Mark and I are very proud of our kids. They are growing up to be wonderful people.
