That's more like it. Empire looked like they should be one of the top ranked teams in the state with a comfortable 34 – 7 victory. #
Its Friday night. Heading out to Empire HS football game. #
YES! Found out today that giving up my summer at work paid off huge with a big win! Makes it all worth it. #
And that's the way it ends. 18 – 13 for a season opening loss. If not foe those 2 blocked punts returned for TD….. #
We broke a 40 yard run on 4th and 6 to score. Its now 12 – 6, we are down, after 3 quarters. #
Crap! Another blocked punt for a td. That's two. Now 18 – 6. Would be tied without 2 blocks for td. #
QB just scampered 70 yds for TD. ... READ MORE

Showstoppers Anaheim 2010

Suzanne — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:29:06 +0000

We have put up our gallery from the Showstopper Dance competition in Anaheim in July. Savannah earned two Platinum Trophy’s and had a dance Class with Dancing With the Stars Dancer Lacy Schwimmer. Suzanne earned Three Platinum trophies in Song & Dance, Folkloric Solo, and Folkloric Trio. Sean even came in late Friday to save the day for the Folklorico Group. We had to have two boys for the dance to work and since Sean started school on Friday he had to fly out by himself to compete with the group on Saturday. That dance was good but had lots of little mistakes causing it to earn a respectable, but not outstanding, Gold First Place. We hope you enjoy the pictures.

Nice relaxing day after the exciting varsity game last night. Anxious for Sean and the JV squad to open the season next week! #
Overtime win! #
Overtime way to start the season. Except they were heavy favorites. Supposed to be top 4 in state. Flat opening game. #
Ah the fun http://tweetphoto.com/41794314 #
Almost game time. Been long time since I've been to HS football game! And Seans junior varsity team doesn't start til next week. Feels good! #
Opening night of high school football! Sean*s jv doesn't start until next week, but looks like thurs and fri nights spoken for #
Outstanding! Sean was formally told by the coach he was the JV starting offensive strong side guard! Not bad for a frosh! Great job Boomer! #

Sean's birthday today. Heading into town for the day. Lunch at Hooters – his choice. Buffalo Wild Wings better food but…. #
sheesh. Suzanne just killed another rattlesnake in the garage. that's two today & 10 for the summer. more than all the other years combined. #
dang, another rattlesnake bites the dust. these mojaves can just leave anytime… #
Have been working him at def tackle and off guard. Has a good shot at 1st string strong side guard on offense. He needs to grow and fast! #
Sean has been working hard all summer for football. Has had month of hard practices now. Is a freshman and season starts 8/31. #
These days off have been great! I think I feel one more day off coming up tomorrow! I deserve it! #

Two more weeks and then back to normal at work – at least that's the plan… #

Son of a Bit**… another snake on the back porch! That makes six I have had to take care of this year. This one might have been a Mojave. #

What day is it? Have to look at my computer or phone to know. Everyday is a workday and thus just a blur. Mid Aug can't get here fast enough #

Celebrity Equinox for 2010

Suzanne — Tue, 25 May 2010 20:06:15 +0000

We have booked our next cruise for 2010, the Celebrity Equinox 10 Day Ultimate Caribbean with stops in St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Barbados, Dominica, and St. Maarten. For us this cruise is much more about the ship and the relaxation that it has to offer, than the actual destinations. In some ports we may not get off the ship, in others, we may just pay a simple visit to the closest beach. I do enjoy snorkeling, so we are hoping to possibly do one snorkeling excursion either on our own or through the ship. The Equinox itself is the real attraction. We have enjoyed such excellent service, entertainment, and a relaxing atmosphere on our previous Celebrity cruises, and even more so on our most recent cruise on sister ship Solstice. We are sure to enjoy every minute on board the Equinox. For this cruise it will be ... READ MORE
