Lightning Strikes!

Our U10 soccer team had an amazing 2-1 win today! Jillian played goalie for two shut-out quarters and had some terrific stops. She blocked three different one on one situations and anchored a stellar  defense.  My other goalie made some exceptional saves, including a diving one. I couldn't have been more pleased with my team, they played their hearts out after getting beaten badly the last three games.  When I heard one ref tell the other that there were three minutes left, I put two fresh defenders in and told them that if they got in trouble to kick it out of bounds as hard as they could to kill time. They did exactly that and it actually worked. Go Lighting!

Jessica's Christmas Play

Jessica is going to be in the NAHS production of "The Christmas Show"  

 

This is a really big deal as we are working with her to overcome her shyness. (ha ha)

 

No, seriously it is going to be a large scale production, she had to audition and will be rehearsing a lot and we would like to invite you to come see her.

 

We will be attending the Friday, December 5 show. It starts at 7:30 p.m. and if you would like to sit together as a group please let me know before Monday as we will be ordering our tickets. 

 

It is $8 for an adult, $7 for a Senior Citizen, and $5 for a student or child.

If this date doesn't work for you, and you would like to go, there will also be a production on Thursday the 4th at the same time, you can get tickets from NAHS between now and then.

 

Please let me know if you would like to join us on Friday, we will be happy to order your tickets and we may even do something after the show at our house such as have hot chocolate and let you all decorate our Christams tree. (again, an attempt at humour before my second cup of coffee)

 

Also, as part of the production, Jessica will be selling candles. I have a Yankee Candle booklet if you are interested in one of these items. It is never to early to get a Christmas gift or two out of the way.  The candle orders will also be turned in Monday. To give you an idea:

 

14.5 oz Jar candle $22 available in  dozens and dozens of flavors. the new ones are: mulling spice, cinnamon and sugar, and orchard pear. The seasonal ones are: Christmas Cookie, Christmas wreath, Jack Frost and Christmas Eve

Fragrance Porcelain Ornament $7

Lots of wrapping paper, gift tags and gift bags  $5-$18

 

Let me know!

Look For Me On Facebook

I am undecided on whether I am going to use facebook or not, but I told my sister I would give it a shot. I have already heard from a lot of people that I haven't heard from or seen in a long time.  It does seem a little more far reaching that an 'old fashioned' blog but for me the jury is still out. Anyway, I am on facebook for now so look me up and tell me what you think of it...

I Got Cable For THIS?

OK, so the kids enjoy the cartoons and educational programs, especially the ones on demand. They have even started watching Tom and Jerry....

The family has enjoyed shows like John and Kate; we DVR it and Iron Chef America.
Jeanna enjoys certain new cable shows, and enjoys surfing in general.

But let's face it, the main reason we bought a plasma TV and got cable for the first time in our marriage was for U of L football. And this is the thanks I get?

Less than 18 months removed from an Orange Bowl victory, a season in which a called back blocked field goal kept them from the National Championship Game, we look like we really don't even belong on the same field with a mid range team from an overrated conference.

I sure don't know what the rest of the season holds, and I am no fair weather fan. But someone needs to move back to Tulsa, and it isn't my parents...

I appreciate and respect the whole commitment to character, but come on people... let's get it together.

Go Cards! Go Krogering!
