7-0 Cowboys!!

So today was the day that our boys secured the #1 spot- they win this game and they were in the Superbowl for the 2nd year in a row!!! They played Bellflower and whooped on those Broncos 39-0. Safe to say these kids deserve a Superbowl and another undefeated season!! Next week is a bye week for us cuz Riversides team folded after 2 games- so we have Halloween off to get ready for playoffs and SUPERBOWL!!!!!!

It'ssss Spoookkyyyy!

Thats what Keira said about every craft we did today. I went to Michaels and bought a ton of stuff for the kiddos to do inside thanks to all the rain we had. Erin and bailey came over and we went crazy. They had so much fun. However I think Erin and I had more fun, well until it was time to scrub that paint off my table. Not cool. :)

I Can Breathe Again

Today was a BIG day. A day I had been anticipating for weeks. WYATTS 1ST PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE!!! I know, sounds sooo ridiculous. But seriously, I never know what to expect from this child. I had no clue what I was going to get from his teacher. With Jackson, I always knew, from day one. I never had to worry about him. You hear me call him Mr Perfect (trust me, that child aint perfect) but he certainly tries to be. And pretty much thinks he is, and if he isnt being perfect, he knows right away and makes sure he admits it, apologizes for it, then fixes it. I know, talk about a complex right?!?! He just always TRYS to be the perfect child. Wyatt on the other hand- whether its at home, in public, with learning, ANYTHING, hes completely unpredictable. Wyatt missed his whole first year of preschool thanks to stupid Capo district waiting lists, and this kid wanted nothing to do with learning when it came from me. And he has a temper. He can be mean. He can be stubborn. He HATES to clean up. And sometimes the things that come out of this childs mouth gets him straight in his room. Ahhh a mothers nightmare when it comes to school. So I sit down and Miss Miriam pulls out his little paper and my hands are sweating and I just say "Ok, lay it on me...' She starts laughing and says "OMG I just love him! But he is nothing like his brother!" OH SHIT! HERE IT GOES!!!!! Worst possible thing she could have started with. And then goes on and on about how great Wyatt is. How all his class loves him and they think hes so funny. And he dances like a crazy person and it cracks her up. "Jackson was always so quiet and hated to sing and dance with us!" Ummm ok wait this is what you were talking about as far as how they are different?! This I can handle. Then gets into "school type stuff"... Basically hes doing great, there is nothing he is behind on, other than knowing how to use scissors lol (for good reason might I add, you think I ever gave this kid scissors?! YA RIGHT! ), he listens, tries hard, gets along with everyone, shares, raises his hand, hes polite, always first in line (thats outta pure competitiveness Im sure) and LOVES school. Ummm are we talking about the same kid?!?! I just kept asking "Ok so what do we need to work on? What about this? What about that? Do we hold him back a year cuz hes behind?" And all she kept saying was "If there is ever an area of concern Ill let you know, but he is doing great!!" HOLY CRAP! Is this really happening?! I can stop sweating?? Yes I can stop sweating. I was sooo proud of that little dude. He may be a terd for me most of the time, but apparentely Im doin something right despite my constant headache with this kid. THANK GOD! And thank you Wyatt for totally proving me wrong :)

Rebel Child

What do you do when your four year old asks for blonde hair? Well, you give it to him!!!!
Haha yes Wyatt asked me to bleach his hair. Well asked for it to be blonde like brothers is what he actually wanted. And he loves it. Me, I just crack up every time I look at him. Luke calls him blonde bear and thinks its hilarious. Its hair, this too shall pass. However I do wish I would have thought about the fact that the next day was picture day at school. (Grandma and grandpa, nana and papa, gammy, etc- I apologize in advance for the blinding school pictures you recieve this year!) Stupid me. LOL Lets hope tattoos and piercings dont come next! ;)

Oh How I Love Thee...

... my BFF Oxi Clean. I dont know what i would do without you, especially the months of August- November. You will always be near and dear to my heart. Dont ever leave me.
And yes I used all three of those on his jersey this week. :)

Homework Date

Kenna and Jack got to the house today after school and McKenna wanted to come in and see the hamster. Well a few minutes later she sat down, opened her backpack and took out her binder, and we are just talking about school and before I knew it she had sat down and started her homeowrk. LOL So i text Kristyn to let her know McKenna would be here for awhile apparentely. So Jack got his out and they sat at the table and did homeowrk together. McKenna would even help Jack when he needed it- I almost died it was so cute. Ahhh the first homework date. ;)

Oh and of course Wy couldnt be left out so he got out his workbook too! LOL

Guess Who's 6-0?!

You guessed it- COWBOYS BABY!!!! These kids are unstoppable. A 39-7 Victory over Downey this weekend. Jack had a sweet interception- well almost a FULL interception but he and the ball hit the ground. It was awesome though. He played so good. (More pics to come when I get the team pics from this weekend but here are a few for now!)

And Wyatts game- well it didnt happen. We rushed from jacks game to eat lunch, then home to change Wy and to the field (where we had to hike a mile to get there!) and apparentely his AWESOME coach didnt realize our game had ben swicthed to 9am, not 1pm. We were so happy- sike! Nana even hung around after Jacks game so she could catch Wy's :( Oh well there is always next week!!

RUN Just as Fast as YOU CAN!!

Well its official... Wyatt is the kid that I always knew he would be. I picked him up yesterday and Miss Miriam says "I thought Jackson was shy, Wyatt is way more shy!!" Um, excuse me?! Are you joking?! Well she was talking about with the girls ;) Apparentely his entire class full of girls were chasing him all recess time I guess. Keep in mind there are 12 girls in his class- and ALL of them were chasing Wy. Miss Miriam told me this and I started cracking up. Jackson said "Wy were they trying to kiss you?!" Which totally pissed Wyatt off and he said "NO! they wanted to tackle me!!" And Miss Miriam replied with "I dont think that was it Wyatt!" And a little wink for mom! I left and in the car said to Wyatt "Wy thats so cute that they were all chasing you!" and he says "Mom thats cuz im the best boy in my class!" HAHAHAHA I raised such a modest young guy. He sure is cute though. ;) I dont blame these chicks!!

Hi Jacksons Mom

Jacksons little friend gave him an envelope the other day with a few notes in... I seriously almost died. PS this is a little Asian kid in his class who lives down the street, that Jackson never even plays with. Cutest thing ever. LOL

Meet Hamski

Actually her name is Piper but Luke and I call her Hamski. I started "whining/listening jars with the kids" (thank you Rachel!) and they were supposed to be able to get a toy after it was filled up. Well they wanted a Hamster. I never thought it would only take 2 weeks to fill these suckers up. But I guess if you really want something you will clean mirrors and vaccuum for mom, not to mention be on your best behavior. So Hamski was the prize, AKA Piper (after Jacksons teachers dog haha). And yes she spins on this damn wheel ALL NIGHT LONG. Aye yae yae.....

5-0 Babbbbaayyyyy!!

Jacks game this week was in Compton, Luke was here (wooohoooooo!), their coach was suspended but still managed to "coach"/yell from the stands, their DJ played music during the game dropping F-bombs every other word, the Compton kids looked us up and down and repeatedely used the words "tiny'" "kill" "butts" "crap" "suck/suckers" "OOO-ooo" and god only knows what else- YES sir we were in Compton. And yes sir we kicked their asses in a field full of mud. And when i say mud I dont mean a few mud puddles here and there, I mean all of Compton High Schools stadium was mud. Dont believe me- check out the pics from our 30-6 victory. These dont even do it justice!!! Haha Sucker Coach Robert took Jack in his car after the game!! Sucky for him!! BUTTTTT I did take Radyn home with us after pizza so had to wash both their uniforms and their shoes (in the bathtub!)!! Anyways, We are now 5-0 babbaaayyyy!!!!!!!!!

(Before the game!)

Mr Perfect

Jacks Back to School night was tonight. I still hadnt really met his teacher (I know, worst mom- but first grade is sooo different!). So I introduced myself and first thing she said (with her hand over her heart) was "OMG he is just the cutest stinkin boy EVER! Ah he is just so sweet I want to squueze him!" HA come see him at home lady! She went on and on about him, how he is so BOY and can rough and tumble at recess then turn that switch off and get to work in the classroom. About what an AWESOME reader he is, and Jackson always tells her "I love to read", how theres a difference between loving to read and being AWESOME at reading. I told her about being a perfectionist in Iversons class last yr and she said "Oh no its not a problem, he just take such pride in all his work! It is always so neat and he takes his time and does it right. He is always asking me how hes doing, I just love it!" Then she told me how she just thought Ms Iverson had the cutest boys in her class she had ever seen last year, so she made sure she got Jackson in her class this year! LOL Well glad his cute little smile can get him places ;) Needless to say, I was very proud of my little dude after talking to Ms Gray. I got home and said to jackson "I met your teacher tonight" "What did she say?" "I dont know what do u think she said?" "That my work was sloppy?" HA YA RIGHT!!!!! Relax Mr Perfect, youre still perfect :)

W-Y-A-T-T

So Ive been trying to get Wyatt to write his name for months. We always work in his workbooks and he traces my letters, all the typical stuff that would get him to write his name. No success. We went to beachfire for dinner the other night and the boys were coloring. All of a sudden Wyatt says "Look!" He had fully written his name!!! No help or anything. Ummmm HI youve been in school for like 2 minutes- and they already got you to write your name! I was shocked. And mad (selfishly) since my stubborn punk of a child wouldnt do it for me but he did it in school after all of 3 weeks. But, hes writing his name so AMEN to that!!!

His Kinda Heaven

The boys both had dentist appointments today. NO CAVITIES FOR EITHER OF THEM!!!! Woohoooooo!!! Makes mom happy. :) When we got there the assistant asked the boys if they wanted video games or movies. Hmmmm do you know this kid- Jack just about peed his pants when he heard that!!! He answered so fast. I dont think he will ever think of the dentist the same again. Such a gamer. Pure happiness for this kid.

Games Week 4

Luke was working this weekend, and of course the kids had conflicting games. So I switched kids with Erin (I took Coach Chris and she took Wyatt) and she helped me out and took Wy to his game. I headed up to Long Beach with jack and Chris for their game where the weather weirded me out so bad i felt like I was in Texas. We got there and it started pouring on us. For a good 30-45 minutes. It stopped, then started to get clear, then all the sudden it was 90 degrees and I was dripping sweat. So bizarre. Anyways, the kiddos crushed the Jackrabbits. 32-0. Our undefeated boys have still not lost (honestly I dont think they would know how to lose if they ever did!). Theyre amazing. Jack was a captain this week so he was pretty pumped. AAnd on a side note, Jackson had to pee while we were on the freeway, so i gave him a doggy bag. Chris almost died. Literally had his window down dry heaving at the smell of pee, which had me in hysterics, which left me unable to tie the bag, drive the freeway and stop crying laughing all at the same time. I sat in my drivers seat holding an open bag of pee, driving down the 405 freeway with tears streaming down my face and I couldnt even talk cuz i was laughing so hard!!! Let alone see where I was going through the tears in my eyes. I seriously almost peed my pants. If there is one thing Chris is good for its pure entertainment. Hadn't laughed that hard in a long time. Freakin' hilarious. Wyatts game went well, Papa went to that too so Wy felt super special that not only were Erin and Bailey there but Papa too, just for him! Luke got home earlier than we thought so we went to dinner at Beachfire, and came home and crashed out early!! Well that was after Luke made me watch Bruno (dont ever watch it!), talking pee holes and all. Sick.
