The Weekend


It's been a busy week, with football, work, family ect...
We left at about 5am for Centerville,Mt to watch Aj's quarterfinal football game against the Centerville team. It is a 6 hour drive. I of course slept most of the way. lol... We got to Centerville at about 11:30 am, so had an hour and half to wait. What a nerve wracking wait. The Longhorns played Centerville 2 years ago for the state championship and were down until the last 7 minutes of the game. They tied and went into overtime and we lost by one td. This year it was a quarterfinals game and the boys were nervous as could be, but determined to win.
Greg's brother got Jordan a Centerville Championship t-shirt as a joke for his birthday that year. We still had it so Aj took it and hung it in the locker room as an inspiration for the team. They took it with them to Centerville to keep reminding them it wasn't going to happen again.
It was a great game. The Longhorns worked hard and were ahead the whole game. It was quite impressive as Centerville was rated the #1 team in the state. The Longhorns #7. The ending score was 37-20 Longhorn win. It was awesome. If you have never seen 8 man football, you will want to do it. It is the most exciting of football games. Hard hitting, fast action games.
As for the old Centerville championship t-shirt? Aj ripped it in half and left it in the locker room for them to find. Bet they are wondering how we got a hold of one. lol....
So off to the Semi finals. The Longhorns play TwinBridges, another team that has had no loss. Or maybe just one. We have heard though, that they are tough. Hopefully the Horns can get by them also to get to the state championship game and win that also. This game is played here at home so we don't have to to travel.
Wish the Longhorns good luck. We are due for another State Championship. Aj is #32 in the pics above.

Just starting here

I have finally started this new blogspot. It looks like fun and I just love my sister-in-law, Ashley's blog. Hopefully mine will be done as well as hers.
For starters, I live in Mt. with my husband, and kids. I have 2 grown daughters with families of their own. 3 granddaughters. 2 boys, 19 and 16. Jordan is away at college right now and Aj is a junior. Shanna; my oldest is living in Mn. with her husband and daughter Lexy. Sunni lives here with her husband and 2 daughters Jenna and Devan.
My husband, Greg works at Home on the Range, a home for troubled children. He is actually the ranch and plant supervisor and does all the ranching and farming and upkeep of the ranch. He is also a woodworker and has made many beautiful pieces of furniture including our Mission style bed.
I am a cook at our local cafe. A job which I like and love the people I work with.
I also breed and sell Yorkshire Terrier dogs. A breed that is fun to own and can live anywhere. apartments and small homes are ideal for them. I have 4 dogs right now. 2 tiny baby boys also.
I enjoy alot of things. Reading, scrapbooking, prophecy, gardening, flowers, studing the Bible, family, and blogging. There is alot more but I guess you will all find those things out later on. Saving money is a good one too. LOL....
I am not sure how to do this blogspot thing yet, so bear with me as I learn. I enjoy Ashleys blog so much as; even though we only live 8 miles away, I never get to see her. Isn't that sad???
Anyway, I enjoy keeping up with her and the boys. I see Cody more than the rest as he stops by every now and then to see mom.
Well I need to get ready for Aj's football game so lets see how this goes.
I will post pictures and such as I learn how. I hope you don't mind Ash, if I copy some of your cool ideas....lol.
