Random Pics


I will end today's hot streak of posts with some random pics

Since D complains that I constantly leave him out of this site and rarely post pics of him.. This ones for you, D!


Olivia's Acting Debut



Olivia recently had the opportunity to sign up for the school play, so by choice she did. She was set to play a bug, any bug.. No talking parts just a song with the rest of the bugs in her group.
She decided early on she wanted to be a butterfly (it seems that only the 'cool' girls were being butterflies this year) so here is her in her costume prior to the play.










I took the little man and Hailey with me to watch. We got their fairly early, since Livi had to be there, and still the auditorium was packed. The principal made an announcement that they put out every chair they had and I can bet their were still 50 people standing. Well we all got stuck at the back, but here are some pictures from where we were..


















I told you I was way in the back. I could barely see Olivia and had to stand on the wrestling mats to see her sing. But it was good!
Here are a picture of Riley and Hailey watching. (and they actually were good if you can imagine that!)

They are both so silly. I also wanted to add that if you look closely at Olivia's antennae you would see that its really her hair. We took it, braided in in pigtails.. put pipe cleaners in it and wrapped it in a black sock. They eventually started to droop a little but it was different!

First Things First!





Ok.. So first things first. I finally got my hands on some of the pictures from our first home football game against the Tidewater Floods! So enjoy.. There were no real good ones of me in action. I suppose that's what I get for being a lineman.. No glory there. This past Saturday we played the Maine Freeze at home. The final was 20-6 with them coming out on top, but we scored, ok so we didn't score, actually Heidi Johnson our ever so amazing super star player did.. but it was awesome to say the least. So enjoy the pics.. Angels vs. Tidewater April 20, 2006. If you look at the pic above.. that's me on the left hand side running in.. #64! WOOHOO!

Wow


It has been super long since I have had a chance to post anything. It has been a super long time since I have had time to do anything at all really. Our schedule is crazy. It pretty much goes like this.
Monday - Work then home
Tuesday - Work then practice not home until usually close to 9
Wednesday - Work then home
Thursday - Work then practice not home until close to 9
Friday - Pep rally for the football team
Saturday - Game meet at field at 1:30
Sunday - rest for Monday.

So as you can see my week is super full. Plus Olivia has cheerleading on Thursday night and Hailey's cheerleading is going to start here soon. The few hours I am home through the week I have to clean up, do yard work etc.. Its crazy. But I like it. Plus in a few months football will be over for the season.
Which by the way football is going great. We have played two games so far, lost them both but then we are a completely new team. We only have two people on our team who have ever played before. I am sore, bruised up but still kicking and loving every minute of it.
This week we play the DC Divas which is by far the toughest and best team in the league. I would be happy if I could just come away learning something from them (and preferably not hurt).
The kids are good, Livi is losing teeth left and right, soon I think she isn't going to have any at all. LOL.. I think deep down she just likes getting money from the tooth fairy. Also, she told me at Easter that she knows that the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus aren't real. Actually, she told me that she knows that I do all the work just to help them out, so I suppose she still thinks they are real. Which is good, because as soon as she knows she will most certainly tell her brother and sister..which is no good at all.
Riley is the same, just getting so big, even pants that we got him at Christmas that were to big are now starting to get to small... its amazing how fast they grow.
Hailey is the same, she has been orientated to kindergarden about fifteen times now (they seriously send them to orientation like 6 times) and is super ready to go. every morning she asks me if it is time for her to go to school yet.
Also, one of olivia's classmates moved to the house at the bottom of our lane, so they are excited that there are now kids to play with in the neighborhood.
D is well, just working and coaching my football team, which he seems to enjoy. Gives us a chance to do something together even though he isnt my coach.
So check out our sight www.harrisburgangels.com
Here is a picture of me in my uniform all football player'd out.. lol.. don't laugh at the pigtails..



















Does anyone but me watch 24.. is it just me of is it getting so good. Prison Break too. I think Monday night is the only night that I am actually glued to the TV between 8 -10 pm.
Literally last night I was on the edge of my seat when Prison Break was on.. Can you believe he actually is kidnapping the warden.. WOW..
I cannot wait until next week!
