BCS Championship Game LSU vs. OHIO 2008

The game is on and LSU is winning. I was kind of worried at the beginning when Ohio scored during the first drive. But my Tigers came back with a field goal. Then Ohio got a field goal. Then LSU scored three touch downs before half time. Right now we are at the end of the third quarter 31 to 17. My stomach is starting to turn. I will let you know the final score.

Riding Bikes & Inline Skating

Like everyone else in the world one of my resolutions is to live a healthier life. One way is to get my family doing more outdoor sports. I grew up playing a lot of sports. I use to do bike tours. I liked to in line skate (we called it roller blading, Will told me I was wrong). That was on top of softball, volleyball, basketball and so on. So we started last week. We went in line skating last week ( the kids got some for Christmas). Audrey ended up with a bruised right cheek and Mark and I were just sorer. It was so much fun that Will wanted to do it the following day but it was raining. Sunday ended up being beautiful so we went to the park by the river. We took our bikes and in line skates. We biked for awhile then rode back and ate our lunch. Audrey decided to try riding without training wheels. Mark puts them on a hill and down they go. That is how he taught Will so he was going to do the same with Audrey.

Here they go or should I say here she goes.

And down she goes.

My girl does not give up and look at her she's got it.

Now she has to take some more instruction from her Dad, like steering and peddling.

Down the hill again.

While I take pictures and Audrey and Mark ride Will decides to in line skate. He is getting up from a fall but he is getting better.

I try to tell him not to turn his feet in but he doesn't get it. One day he will but he is getting better.

Audrey is keeping her Daddy busy chasing her.

Will asked me to take this picture of him and put it on the blog so here it is.

I am so proud of her she is riding her bike.

Audrey and Mark decide to take a rest. Mark is out of breath and exhausted. Audrey on the other hand just decides to eat a little yogurt until the next round.

Will decides to take a picture of me. Yes, that is me with red hair. Mark does not like it. I will keep it this color for another month or two and then I will be blonde again.

Will decided to ride his bike with his skates on. He wanted to go down the hill. Of course, I was saying no that is to dangerous but Mark said let him be a boy. He was finally healing from going down a huge hill at my mothers where he flipped over the handle bars and in to a ditch. He ripped the skin on his leg, thigh and arm. He didn't even cry. So I said OK and off he went on the bike and skates.

HAPPY NEW YEARS! 2008

Mark went and got some fireworks for the kids and Will had his friend Kaden spend the night. So we played Guitar Hero and American Idol on playstation then outside we went. Bentley only lasted a little while. He hates loud noises. Mark told the kids the safety rules then showed them how to light bottle rockets. Will lit the first one then Will taught Audrey.

I am not sure what is up with the cowboy hat. He helped Audrey light the bottle rocket.

Audrey, Kaden and Will fooling around waiting for us to get the next batch of works going.


And of course we also had the traditional Sparklers. Those are my favorite. We had all colors.

Mark and Will lit the last one together.

Now everyone is in bed (including me). Mark and I just watched the ball drop in New York. So let me be the first to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope everyone has a great year. Now I need to spend some 2008 snuggle time with my husband.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays

You won't believe this but I did not take one picture at Christmas. We did video tape it but that is about it. I could not believe it when I went to look at pictures and found none. So I apologize. We had a great time. We had family from South Louisiana, Mid New Jersey and Brooklyn New York come to town. We went to my mothers for Christmas and there we ate and ate and ate. My brother and Aunts walked after the dinner. While on our walk two puppies followed us. We went house to house trying to find their home. When we couldn't find anyone we left them right where they started following us (after we fed them and loved them a little). Right then a car drove up to the only empty house and the puppies went running. That was our excitement.
The day after Christmas my Aunt Patti and my mother did the annual day after Christmas shopping. Janie and I (along with the kids) stayed in our pajamas all day. We played the Wii they got for Christmas. I really enjoy that thing even though I pulled a muscle in my shoulder when we were playing the bowling game. Will wished he had gotten one until he played his Guitar Hero on the PlayStation2. Yes, I play it as well and I do rock! It was a nice Christmas.

Just not in the mood

I have been hum bug lately. I love to shop but this time of year it sucks. There are to many people in stores and everyone is rude. I like to look when I shop and take my time. Today a lady was looking through my basket. When I told her that it was my basket she said she has been looking for one of the things I had in my basket. I told her sorry. So the day goes on and more shopping to be done blah blah blah!
Audrey performed in the 5th grade choir. She was the only Kindergarten er. She sang Rudolph. She did great. I have pictures to put up on the blog but I just don't feel like doing that either. One day when I am not so stressed I will get back to it.

LSU #2

That's right LSU will be in the National Championship!!!!!!!

LSU

As everyone must know by now LSU beat Tennessee with their second string quarterback. It was exciting. Next was the #1 team and #2 team playoffs and they lost. So here we are sitting waiting for the BCS polls to see if LSU moves to #2 and gets to play for the National Title. We have looked up all other polls and two have put in results which put Ohio in the #1 spot and LSU in the #2 spot. So there is hope. I have to leave and get the kids but will post when I get in and let everyone know the results.
