Michael's Day

Well this past Saturday was Michael's day. It is his first year playing basketball so I tried to make it a fun day for him. First we got up early and I made him breakfast. Then we were off to the opening day where the kids got their uniforms. They had a former Phoenix Suns player Mark West who came to talk to the kids. They had their mascot the gorilla, which was a huge hit. They also did a raffle and we won a autographed picture of a Suns player named Raja Bell. My boys are so excited. I need to go to the store and get a frame for it.
After opening day since Michael's game didn't start until 5:30pm we went to the store. We bought stuff for cupcakes and homemade pizza. We went home and made the cupcakes and also cooked the crust for the pizza so that way we could just make the pizza when we got home.
The whole family was there and also my dad and two sister, Sam & Alyssa came. After the game we came home and made the pizza and ate cupcakes.
It was a fun day. He did really well. I can't wait to see more games. He attempted to make 3 baskets. They were close but didn't quit make it. Maybe next time.

The Weather & A Worried Mom

We woke up to rain and snow showers this morning. More rain at my house then the snow. But the roads were icy. Well Aron had to ride the bus this morning since the weather was so bad plus he can't drive the jeep until he gets his math grade up. Well I send him off to the bus stop at 6:45am in the pouring rain. I feel so sorry for him. While getting the other kids ready for school the news on the radio comes on and says that Prescott is on a 2hr school delay. Since our principle lives in Prescott they go by the Prescott Unified School district schedule not the Humbolt School District. Anyway, I hear this loud crash and then a desiel truck running. It sounds like it's right outside my door. I look outside and for those of you who don't know where I live theres a hill that you have to come down and then it curves and we are the second house just around the curve. Well the house before us has a semi in the road and it's well... was pulling a huge tractor trailer and the tractor trailer in now in the neighbors yard and the semi is in the middle of the road, and where's the bus? Behind the tractor. There is no way that bus is going to be able to turn around. Oh my gosh the only thing I could think of was Aron standing in the rain. So I got into the car and drove down to the bus stop the other way which is about 7 house down. There he was waiting for the bus. All wet. Poor guy. So I got him to school and back to the house 20 minutes later to find the semi parked in front of my house and cops everywhere. The bus finally got to pass. I got my son to school on time and those on the bus were late. Not their fault I know but anyway. My poor neighbor just has had bad luck these past few months. First he lost his job then Marcus broke their window and now this.

Only In Arizona

It's a chilling 40 degress out. It's cold. It's raining and what are my boy's doing? Playing football, outside... some in shorts. There are 6 boys and only four are mine two are borrowed. But they are outside having fun. It's so cold though and I have no idea how they manage to play in that cold weather. I think I got frost bite standing out there taking the pictures. Anyway, I thought I would post some pictures of them playing. Where are they now you ask? They are all inside under blankets watching the football game drinking hot coco.

Sleepovers

Just had to post this. Marcus, Ryan and Michael all went to a friends house last night for sleepovers. Aron had two friends stay here so we just couldn't leave Jackie out. She had to have a friend come sleepover too. Actually we have a friend who lives around the corner and they have a dog named Kylie who we keep every once in awhile or her mom Marla will just come over to visit and bring Kylie and they play for awhile. Anyway, Marla called last night to see if I could keep Kylie over night since she had to go to Phx for work today. So here is a cute picture of the girls playing tug a war.

Guess what arrived

Okay mom here you go. Michaels card arrived today. Of course without the gift card.
It only took 10 days for it to get here. But it arrived no less.
