Time to set the DVR

Well its time for all my favorite fall shows to start up again... YEAH :)
There are probably a couple of new ones too... I was a huge 90210 fan years ago and have watched the premier of the new one... its ok so far. But these are the ones I am waiting to start up again :) :)


Gossip Girl started a couple of weeks ago


Boston Legal was on tonight... its a laugh out loud kinda show.


Dancing with the Stars started tonight too... now I have 3 shows on Monday nights.


Can't wait for Desperate Housewives to start on Sunday.... excited to see how they move forward 5 years :)


Brothers and Sisters is another laugh out loud show... I just love Sally Fields... its starts Sunday and follows D.H.


The girls and I love to watch Biggest Loser.... I cry every week when someone has to leave... it just amazes me how big these people are and how determined they are to lose it... and the changes in their looks... AMAZING!!! It started last Tuesday.


Private Practice is one that started last fall but ended early because of the strike... can't wait for this one it starts Oct 1st.


Dirty Sexy Money was another one that ended early because of the strike.... hope it continues to be good!!!

They love each other :)

I love it when Shadow and Harli lay together.... Harli was laying down and Shadow squeezes in behind her.... its so cute... they love each other :)

Are you kidding me?

Taylor played in a softball tournament all day Saturday and my gosh some of these teams girls are absolutley HUGE... its like hey we need to check her birth certificate huge :0 The team we lost to last night, their catcher looked like a line backer and when she went to slide into second base we feared for our 2nd basemen because she is our smallest player and this girl could of swallowed her whole... I am not kidding... YIKES....

Taylor got a good hit here. Behind her is the ginourmous girl... when she threw the ball down to second she never stood... she threw it down on her knees.


Tatum had another practice meet on Friday night and she did very well... she got 2nd place on beam and vault and 3rd place on bar and floor. She received 2nd overall too.

Is the weekend really over? :(

Once again the weekend is here... we go to Tori's softball game on Friday night, and then she has another one Saturday night... she lost Friday but won Saturday.... a little bit of shopping in between, Church on Sunday, little more shopping (bought the cuttest fall stuff to put out, but its still too freakin Hot it doesn't feel like fall yet) :(...... and BAM the weekend it over.

Tori is on deck getting ready to bat :)


I had to take this picture this morning before church....they didn't know I did... Taylor has a skirt on, I can't remember the last time that happened!!!


On Friday Night some lady hit Tad's car and this is what he is driving now :) We knew when he arrived last night at the ball field... I think the van glows!!!

Wii Fit

I finally found a Wii Fit after looking since it came out. I did several different excercises, yoga moves and under the aerobics part I did the hula hoop. It logs your score and its so addicting you want to beat your score each time that you keep on doing it over and over again. I had no idea how sore I would be from doing the hula hoop :0 The girls have enjoyed it too, and its fun seeing who can do things the longest. It keeps track of your weight, BMI and how long you exercise each time. Its sad though because it gives you a Wii age by a couple balancing moves it has you do... my wii age was 47... yeah 4 over my real age... yikes I am soooo out of shape :( Now we need to get Tad on it and see what he can do..... LOL :)

Taylor is doing the hula hoop here... this is the one that made my muscle so sore after doing it a dozen times.


Tatum and I are doing Yoga here... I have terrible balance and kept falling over :(

Weekend up in Pinetop.... Brrrrr it was cold!!!!

We headed up north to Pinetop to visit my parents. We had a nice time. It had been a month since we had seen them last. I got a chance to visit with my dads brother, My Uncle Gary and Aunt Joan... hadn't seen them for along time and also friends of ours Devere and Sue Bunch. Its rained most of the time that we were there and everyone was mad at me because when I got there I said "I sure hope it rains while we are here" and boy did it. They were all glad to see us leave... it was nice and sunny on Monday when we left. :) We played alot of cards, dominoes, washers, and went on walks... when it wasn't raining :0

Tatum and I were up early and sat out on the swing.




We had several washer tournaments and drew numbers for partners


While teams were playing washers the others played Rummikub






The girls went Go Kart Racing... when we got there it starting pouring, it rained for about 45 minutes... we played games in the Arcade until it stop raining.







These are pictures I took when we went on a walk



The family with grandma and papa

Gymnastic Meet

Tatum had her very first gymnastic meet tonight. It was inter squad only, which means its just her team competing against each other before the bigger meets against other teams. She did so good.... she got 4th place in 2 events and 3rd in 2 events. She was so nervous today when she got home from school so I wasn't sure how she would do.... but the butterflies didn't seem to bother her when it was her turn!!! Way to go Tater Tot... We love you and are very Proud.

Family Day

This morning we got up and went to church and then out for lunch with some friends. The girls swam for a while with their cousin Tyler. Tatum and I went grocery shopping.... boy that was desperately needed (our house looked like "Old Mother Hubbards Cubbards"!!!!). Tad did a little bit of yard work and then we all play WII. We went up to the school early evening and took the dogs to run around while Taylor practiced her pitching. Tad thought he would try and hit off her.... YA RIGHT :) It was a nice family day.... but now its time for showers and bed..... tomorrow is MONDAY..... but we have next weekend to look forward to... we are heading up to Showlow to visit my parents for the Labor Day weekend (yeah cool weather here we come) :)

Another week is already over......

I just don't know where the week has gone..... maybe it just flies by because we are so busy. Taylor found out Thursday she did not make the Volleyball team. :( but she is totally fine with it... its probably a good thing anyway.... she would have had long long days and weeks if she had to do both volleyball at 6:00 am and then softball from 6:00 - 8:30 pm. Taylor is NOT a morning person so I would of had to deal with that for 6 weeks :0 Anyway we were still proud of her for trying her hardest!!!

Today we have just been hanging out by the pool... it is very HOT today. Tad had to go to work at 2:00 so the girls and I are just swimming and doing the slip and slide.

The Hustle Begins....

Well its only the 2nd week of school and the Hustle begins.... Taylor had open gym yesterday (she is trying out for the volleyball team at her school) from 3:00 - 5:00, from their she had to get across town to her softball practice for her Club team then get home at 9:00 to finish up homework. Today she has open gym again then straight to batting practice, while she is there I leave and get Tatum to gymnastics, head back to the high school to get Taylor where she will come home and do homework. Now Tori will get thrown into the mix when her practices start up next Wednesday and who knows where they will be.... need a gas pump in my own back yard with all the gas I am going through :(
