Well we are into our 2nd day of no school!!!! Myself and Olivia are NOT going outside, WAY to cold for us, but the dogs and boys seem to love it. The boys went out for about 2 hours and still don't think they got the driveway shovled off completely....the dogs love to go out and play for 30 minutes at a time. Not me I am praying for some HOT weather can't wait for summer.

We made it back safely from Oklahoma City from the cheer comp. and the girls did real good they got 3rd out of 7 teams in their group. Not bad for such a big comp. We have 1 more this weekend in Tulsa but it is only a one day comp. so it shouldnt be so bad. Then that will be all until Feb. then we head to St. Charles......we are knee deep into this CHEER STUFF.....actually we love it.

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE OTHER BOYS IN THE FAMILY..BACI IS A REALLY BIG BABY, WELL ACTUALLY SO IS BUDDY. I JUST THINK THEY ARE SO CUTE. IF YOU CAN IMAGE WE ALL 4 SLEEP IN BED.....PHILIP, BACI, BUDDY AND ME, IN A FULL SIZE BED....NEEDLESS TO SAY I STAY REALLY WARM DURING THE WINTER BECAUSE THEY DONT REALLY GET ON PHILIP SIDE OF THE BED...SO THAT JUST LEAVES MY SIDE..ONE AT MY FEET AND ONE ON MY PILLOW WITH ME.

THIS IS WHAT OUR LIFE IS ABOUT RIGHT NOW......ITS EITHER BASKETBALL OR CHEERLEADING. BOYS HAVE HAD 2 GAMES SO FAR AND LOST BOTH.....WE ARE KINDA BUMMED ABOUT THAT ONE..WE PLAYED GALENA AND THEY ARE LIKE RAKED #5 OR SO, SO I REALLY DIDN'T THINK WE WERE GOING TO GO VERY FAR WITH THEM, BUT DADDY PHIL SAYS THAT IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD GAME. THEY HAVE 2 GAMES THIS WEEK BACK TO BACK ONE ON THURSDAY AND ONE ON FRIDAY. I THINK THE THURSDAY GAME WE PLAY GALENA AGAIN BUT AT HOME THIS TIME, MAYBE THAT WILL GIVE US SOME HELP BEING IN OUR OWN GYM.........WE ALSO PLAYED MEMORIAL AND DIDN'T WIN THAT ONE EITHER.....THAT'S THE ONE WE REALLY WANTED TO WIN..BUT LUCK WAS NOT ON OUR SIDE THAT NIGHT. PHILIP GOT HIT IN THE NOSE AND HAD TO SIT OUT FOR 3 OR SO MIN. HE WAS BLEEDIN ALL OVER THE COURT THEY HAD TO COME AND MOP IT UP..

TODAY I HAD TO TAKE ANTHONY TO DOC. WE THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE CHICKEN POX BUT TURNED OUT ITS JUST AN INFECTION .... JUST GAVE HIM SOME MEDS AND IT SHOULD GO AWAY SOON. HE WAS ALITTLE BUMMED THAT DOC SAID HE DIDN'T HAVE TO MISS ANY SCHOOL THAT HE WASN'T CONTAGIOUS.

THE OTHER 2 ARE JUST FINE, NO BIG PROBLEMS WITH THEM.....LIV AND I LEAVE ON FRIDAY AROUND 130 FOR OKLAHOMA CITY,, I HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE SO THIS WILL BE AND EXCITING TRIP FOR BOTH OF US.. HOPING TO HAVE SOME TIME TO LOOK UP SOME SCRAPBOOK STORES IF WE CAN GET AWAY FROM THE CHEER COMP. WE DONT HAVE ANY SCRAPBOOK STORES ANYMORE HERE..JUST HOBBY LOBBY AND MICHEALS BUT SOME TIMES THEY DONT HAVE THE NEW STUFF. WE ARE THINKING OF DOING A LITTLE TRIP TO GO TO SOME DIFFERENT STORES IF WE COULD ALL HAVE A WEEKEND THAT WE ARENT DOING ANYTHING.

OK THATS ALL FOR TODAY..I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A WONDERFUL WEEK AND LETS HOPE THAT ALL THE BAD WEATHER WILL STAY AWAY.....I AM SOOOOOO READY FOR SOME WARM AND HOT WEATHER...THIS COLD STUFF IS NOT FOR ME AT ALL!!!!!!!!!

GOODBYE FOR NOW------JILL

I know......I know that it has been awhile since I have kept up my blog.......been alittle busy. The boys have been having BB practice everyday, even at 6:30 AM one morning....needless to say I did NOT take them that morning. Thats alitte to early in the morning for me. That part has been very nice to have since Philip has been off work he is doing most of the taking and picking up from school and activities, and I am trying to get as many hours at both jobs as I can. Any extra can help.....

I think I have already said that the boys have their first game tomorrow nite against Joplin Memorial Middle School, its going to be kinda exciting because they will be playing against some of their friends that they have l known since kindergarten and since they did youth football. I think we may have a full team. This week we have 2 games, Tuesday and Thursday.

This weekend we celebrated moms 60th birthday....Philip and I had a holiday party to go to on saturday and the boys had a sleepover on saturday that they didn't go to bed until 5:00AM in the morning...needless to say they were pretty tired on sunday. I don't know if they have recovered yet.

Well, thats about all for today, I will update you on how our Basketball game went....hopefully really good, I really want them to win.

peace to all-Jill

Here is Philip with the KU hat that we got him for Christmas....he wears it everytime he watches KU on the tube...win or lose.

Here is Liv with one of her favorite cheer coaches at the last cheer comp in Hot Springs.

Here is a picture of Anthony on Christmas day!!!!!

Oh my, I'm not doing very good at keeping this thing updated....i guess it is harder than i thought.
I hope everyone had a wonderful New Years, i know we did thanks to Dawn and Charlie it was a GREAT time. We actually made it till 12:00, and even stayed up till 3:30 after that, that is how fun the party was.

So know back to reality......meaning school and work for everyone....kids and me......kids are not looking forward to going back to school, we really have had a great break, they got a wii fit for Christmas and we all have been on it even Philip Charles who is not a gamer, he really enjoys it...however he has made it to be competitive which the game itself is not suppose to be, but he and the boys try to outdo each other on their fittness goals....good god this is what my house is like all the time.

The boys have started basketball practice and liv goes back to cheer tomorrow...we have kids back at the preschool tomorrow too....its going to be like starting all over again. The boys first BB game is the 13th of Jan. aginst joplin, where some of their friends go so this will be a goodgame. Liv has a cheer comp the 23rd of jan in oklahoma city and then the 31st the following weekend i have traveled more for this stuff than i thought i ever would, and i have also become a REAL cheer mom. SCARY BUT FUN!!!!!!

OK well i think i have updated you enough for today or bored you enough ha ha...until next time...

love and peace-Jill
