Getting back to normal

Because of the recent fires in our quite little city things have been different. The air, my car, and house all smell like smoke, the kids got some extra days off and Trevor still hasn't gone back though we got a phone call today saying that the High School is open on Monday. Every where we go the topic is "How close were you to the fire". "Is your family ok?". The good thing is that with the kids going back to school we can all get back to normal. We can now start to move our focus on how to replant our city. I feel sad for the folks that have lost their homes and hope that I can do something to help. I don't know what it will be but I will do what I can.

As for my family we are all doing well and ready to get back to our sports. Triston has Baseball tomorrow and Tatum has a cheer competition on Sunday. For Trevor wrestling get's back on Monday.

Don and I don't have anything going but getting ready for the holidays. For Thanksgiving we are going to Don's moms for dinner and the kids are excited to see their little cousin Jacob. Then of course our Vegas trip that we have been looking forward to (No kids).

It's finally over

Football is finally over. The team had a losing season with only one win. I have to say that our team stuck it out and never gave up. They had to overcome a lot of obstacles but they did it and I hope that they can look at this season as one that showed their perserverence and character. Trevor suited up for every Varsity game but never played a down but he kept his spirits high and definatly enjoyed the pre-game meals. At the JV level we also had a losing season with only 3 wins . Once again perserevence and character shined in these boys. Trevor started every game and had a great year with 3 interceptions and 2 fumble recoverys. He can't wait till next season but first tomorrow we start wrestling and then on to track. No rest for the college bound.
TREVOR WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU. KEEP LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST AND NEVER LET ANYTHING GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR DREAMS. WE LOVE YOU.

I finally did it

Yesterday Trevor comes home and says I think I'm going to wrestle. YEAH VICTORY!!!!! I have been on Trevor to at least try wrestling since last year. I think that he would be very good at it. This Saturday is the meet the coach and 1st practice event and he is going to go. It took a lot of asking and talking to friends to talk him into it. The workouts are very difficult I have heard and I think will help him in football. He is already small so he won't have to loose weight to make a weight class. AND I AM JUST SO EXCITED. I'm excited to see him one on one on the mat. I can take video and pictures and it will be all of him. I think their first match is in December I will keep you informed.

Proud mommy

Today was one of those days that you think to yourself "What did I do to deserve this". Today Don and I went to watch Tatum receive Student of the Month at school. She was so surprised and so happy. We are really proud of her. She is such a good girl and good student. Her teacher told me today that when she told Don yesterday the news Don actually welled up with tears she had to hand him a tissue. Not trying to embarrass you honey but I know that you are so proud of her and you should be. So with Tatum we can get a student of the month sticker and right next to it for the boys we can get the sticker that says my son can beat up your student of the month :) I love diversity
