Fiesta Texas

First I want to say a big THANK YOU to the IT dept from Ricks work for getting the program to fix the computer!!

Saturday Matthew had another soccer game and he did really well. He said Mom I only scored one goal but I had fun!! I didn't really keep score but it was close we just tell Matthew he won and go on.

On Sunday we went to Fiesta Texas for Aubrey's last cheer competition. When you bought a spectator seat for the cheer competion you got to spend the rest of the day in the park. Matthew couldn't wait to go on the rides. Aubrey did well for her last competition but unfortantely the pictures didn't turn out to well. We're proud of you Aubrey you did a really good job. I really need to read the manual on this camera.

We first took the train to the other side of the park, we probably could have gotten there faster by walking but Aubrey and Matthew wanted to take the train...so we waited 20 minutes for the train to come back to the station. The first ride we did was the ferris wheel Matthew had his eye on the ferris wheel from the moment we got to the park. We had fun and got to see a good view of the park and see what was coming up next or our adventure.

Here is a picture of the family making ugly faces. Rick doesn't like to take pictures and told Matthew to make an ugly face if he didn't want to take the picture. Thanks RICK!!

Our next ride was the Scooby Doo Haunted House. On the way there we ran into TWEETY BIRD Aubrey took a picture with him but Matthew said NO WAY Mom.

I took some pictures in the haunted house of Matthew and Aubrey shooting at the GHOSTS, Don't know if I was suppose to but I did.

We meaning Matthew Aubrey and Me rode a Taz ride and I found out I really can't handle the rides any more. Going in circles really doesn't settle to well with me. I had to ride with Aubrey beacause she wasn't tall enough to ride by herself. Here are a couple of pictures.

Matthew rode with a girl so he wouldn't have to ride by himself. He wanted me to ride with him but I told he had to ride with the girl since Aubrey had to ride with an adult since she wasn't tall enough. He was very considerate and understood. SO proud of him. Good Job Matthew.

Till next time!!

STUPID VIRUSES

Yes My computer at home has a virus on it. SO it will be a little bit before I can post.

Busy, Busy, Busy and Recovery

Life has been a little hectic lately. Between Aubrey's cheer leading and Matthew now playing soccer we always seem to be on the run. From the title you read the word busy and the word recovery. In mid February I ended up having a hysterectomy, although in the end it will be worth it the recovery has been a little rough.

This past weekend was Matthew's first soccer game with the VYSO. I was unable to attend but Rick and his parents were there to take the pictures for me.

Coach Stanford helping Matthew get ready for the game! Coach Stanford is actually the girls high school soccer coach. We are very fortunate to have a great coach for our 1st soccer season.

This is a picture of the team minus one player. We only have 6 team members and 3 players get to play on the field at a time.

Here is a picture of Matthew and his teammate Shepard discussing their game plan.

And a picture of Matthew going after the ball.

Although we lost the game Matthew had a great time playing soccer. He can't wait until the next game.

While Rick was with Matthew I was with Aubrey in Houston for nationals cheer leading. My parents drove us since I'm still recovering from the surgery, I'm not allowed to lift anything over 10 pounds. Which is very hard not to do since the kids want me to pick them up.

Aubrey had a fun weekend, she actually did her best this past weekend even after the coach changed her spot so she had to learn a little bit more moves for the cheer. Hopefully when I get the video in I will be able to post part of it.

Here are a couple of pictures of Aubrey this weekend. I don't know why Aubrey's pics are larger than Matthew's I guess it's the camera's.Aubrey getting ready to go back stage and warm up

Hopefully next time it won't be sooo long between posts.
