What a cute scout he is!
He is growing up to be an outstanding guy
Eleven years, my how time goes by!
Did you like the rhyme? I am such a poet, only the best work for my sweet son! Andrew is so much fun to be around, we are truely blessed to have him in our family!
Yes, we were this close!
Go Broncos!
This is a little outdated now, but I just had to post about our Monday night football experience!
Rick acquired tickets from a friend in the turf business (don't ask, all I know is they were free).
So I was honored when he actually asked if I wanted to go, I've never been a huge Bronco's fan but I promised to be on my best behavior and not whine about the weather or that I was hungry! (sounds like the talk I give my kids before taking them places) Hee
Anyway, we had a great time, the seats were by the North endzone about 8 rows up. I have to say that I enjoyed the game way more up close and in person, the crowd is crazy and the game is just so much more interesting! I loved watching the cheerleaders and yelling IN-COM-PLETE, can you tell I am easily entertained! Best of all, the Bronco's actually won!!!

We had so much fun visiting family in Wyoming (the pictures didn't turn out so well, and then my battery was dead)
We ate, visited, four-wheeled, played pool and went to the movies and ate some more! It was great to catch up with family that we haven't seen in over a year!
I copied this from my friend Melissa, I hope you get your belly laugh in for the day!
THE NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES
Six married men will be dropped on an island with one
car and 3 kids each for six weeks.
Each kid will play two sports and either take music or
dance classes.
There is no fast food.
Each man must take care of his 3 kids; keep his
assigned house clean, correct all homework, complete
science projects, cook, do laundry, and pay a list of
'pretend' bills with not enough money.
In addition, each man will have to budget in money for
groceries each week.
Each man must remember the birthdays of all their
friends and relatives, and send cards out on time.
Each man must also take each child to a doctor's
appointment, a dentist appointment and a haircut
appointment . He must make one unscheduled and
inconvenient visit per child to the Urgent Care
(weekend, evening, on a holiday or right when they're
about to leave for vacation). He must also make
cookies or cupcakes for a social function.
Each man will be responsible for decorating his own
assigned house, planting flowers outside and keeping
it presentable at all times.
The men will only have access to television when the
kids are asleep and all chores are done.
Each father will be required to know all of the words
to every stupid song that comes on TV and the name of
each and every character on cartoons.
Each man will have to make an Indian hut model with
six toothpicks, a tortilla and one marker; and get a 4
year old to eat a serving of peas.
Each man must adorn himself with jewelry, wear
uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep their nails
polished and eyebrows groomed. The men must try to get
through each day without snot, spit-up or barf on
their clothing.
During one of the six weeks, the men will have to
endure severe abdominal cramps, back aches, and have
extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once
complain or slow down from other duties. They must try
to explain what a tampon is for when the 6-yr old boy
finds it in the purse.
They must attend weekly school meetings, church, and
find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the
park or a similar setting.
He will need to read a book to the children each night
without falling asleep, and then feed them, dress
them, brush their teeth and comb their hair each
morning by 7:00. They must leave the home with no food
on their face or clothes.
A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and
each father will be required to know all of the
following information: each child's birthday, height,
weight, shoe size, clothes size and doctor's name.
Also the child's weight at birth, length, time of
birth, and length of labor, each child's favorite
color, middle name, favorite snack, favorite song,
favorite drink, favorite toy, biggest fear and what
they want to be when they grow up.
They must clean up after their sick children at 2:00
a.m. And then spend the remainder of the day tending
to that child and waiting on them hand and foot until
they are better.
They must have a loving, age appropriate reply to,
'You're not the boss of me'.
The kids vote them off the island based on
performance. The last man wins only if...he still has
enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a
moment's notice.
After you get done laughing, send this to as many
females as you think will get a kick out of it and as
many men as you think can handle it.
Typical Rick face when not really wanting
Rick and I before our lovely night out!
Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa I was able to take the birthday boy out on the town! The kids got to have a sleepover and be spoiled by Grandma Mary and Grandpa Russ, it is so nice to know the kids are in such good hands when we need a little time away!
Tyler at his preschool Haloween party.
The kids playing with dough at Rotelli's; we went there for dinner Monday after Andrew's soccer practice, Rick was out of town and that means we get to eat out!
We took Rick to the airport on Sunday, he was flying out to Alabama tocheck out a fertilizer company. They paid for him to come and see how the fertilizer is made and why it would help his course, it was so nice of them to do this even though Rick already buys their stuff! So Rick golfed and fished and ate, he had a great time and returned home just in time for the Haloween festivities.
Andrew finally decided to just use last years costume and dressed up as a skeleton pirate, he thinks he is getting too old for this holiday, but he sure loves the candy!
Madelynn was Hannah Montana, if you've ever seen the show, she looks more like Miley but both characters are the same person so she really couldn't go wrong!
Tyler was a green power ranger, he even had built in muscles!
