It's December already!?!?!?!

What craziness!!! Thanksgiving is come and gone and here we are with December...the last month of 2009...where did the time go? Obviously I have no clue, as you can tell it's been a bit since I've blogged! ha. Well...we returned to the dome a week ago Saturdya,. and got second place to Solon. We are all so proud of the boys and everything they accomplished this season. It was a fun ride! Thank goodness when we got back we had three quick days and we had some nice time off to enjoy...and try and rest! Eric got to enjoy grandma and grandpa Lux and Salazar at his school the Wed. before Thanksgiving for a grandparents program. Each 2nd grade class had them for lunch then did a short program. Very cute. Kelly got his boys from Kansas City on the 20th, so they enjoyed the dome with us and the week of Thanksgiving. Kelly's birthday was on Thanksgiving...he swears that the whole US feasted in his honor. WOW.... Such a character he is! He turned 27, so now we are only 7 years apart for a short time! HAHAHA. Kelly's boys are great...such characters and imaginations those two have! They get along great with Eric and Alic, so we are blessed with that fact. We will get them again on Dec. 27 for a week when we will celebrate Christmas with them and Kelly's family. Saddest part of my week was that my grandma Lux passed away on Nov. 26. She was 99! My last grandparent, so that was the hardest part...God bless her she was tough til the end, but it was time. We celebrated her funeral on Saturday, as all my cousins were home. Dad is doing well, knowing it was a blessing that she is now at peace. I've started Christmas shopping and am knee deep in my list and am also trying to start shopping for my house...which I take possession on teh 21st!!! MERRY XMAS TO ME, huh!!?!?!?! Have a great week all!

UNI DOME STYLE!

Well, as you can see...OUR TEAM ROCKS!!!!! The boys have rolled out the mo-hawks again this week and evenrthing else Nighthawk style they can. We will be heading back to the UNI dome on Friday night to watch our team play Saturday against Solon for the championship. Will be a tough game, but we are behind them 100%!!! Alic seems to be still celebrating his 4th bday! hahaha, we went to Mom and dad's Monday night, and sure enough Grandma had another present and a quick cake sitting and waiting for him...spoiled!!! :) I can't get too upset, I did my laundry for free while visiting...great perk. Eric will be 8 a month from today, and I have no idea how I have an 8 year old on my hands. I feel VERY old. Kelly and I got to enjoy a night out at our school's musical, "The Music Man" last weekend. Such fun, and the kids rocked it. I am looking forward to enjoying the little bit of time I have at home the next couple of weeks between sports. I have started xmas shopping! I went to SFalls last weekend w/Kelly's mom and got a great start. Also picked up some of my own gifts for my new house. So much to think about washer and dryer, garage and storing things in a permanent spot! We are looking forward to getting Kelly's boys this weekend for the week of Thanksgiving...they will get to spend Kelly's bday with him on Thanksgiving day, as we will be at my folks relaxing...yea!!! Have a great week!

Another exciting crazy week!

Well here we are and a week of November is done! Before I know it, Xmas will be calling and I will be freaking out b/c I dont' have my xmas shopping done....I better go this week!!! hahahah. It has been such a fun week! Our Nighthawk football team won Monday night and Friday night to get to travel to the UNI dome on Nov 16 for state football.... so fun and exciting to catch this ride...fans are great, boys are awesome, and we are looking forward to another week of fun filled football craziness!!!! I am getting caught up at work, and it feels good...even though I ask my secretary every day if there is just a boring day around here! LOL The boys are great. Kelly is coming over soon to carve up mo-hawks for them again...I'll put those pics on next week. :) Today we celebrated Alic's 4th bday!!! We had the grandparents and my brother and his wife over for a light supper and cake with John Deere tractors on it...I made it so nothing fancy. Alic got new shoes, fishing pole, planes, tractors, games, flashlights and a book. He was pretty excited! Tomorrow he's taking treats to the sitters...cute. Eric is just loving the hype of the fb thing. Draws pics daily for his new found heroes. Doing great at school, and got a superb report card. That's about it for me...just trying to breathe every day...will be moving in the house Dec 19!!!! So now trying to think of how to decorate, and when I'll get my new stuff!!!! Have an awesome week!

Busy fun weekend!

Well, I flew to Arizona for the weekend with Kelly's mom to visit his sis Kate, who is pregnant and due on Dec . 13 ( or Nov. 29 as she'd like to believe! lol) Katie was having a baby shower and we were invited and decided to fly down for the weekend, so we left Thursday night after conferences, stayed at my friend Jolene's and flew out at 6am. We arrived in Phoenix at 6:45am their time and drove to Tucson from there. Katie SUPPOSEDLY didn't know I was coming...of course until we found out that her husband Alex and her dad let the cat out of the bag. NICE. One less xmas present for them! HA We had a great relaxing weekend which I needed after a week of conferences, volleyball game and playoff football game on top of everyday stresses. The weather was great. We shopped, ate and ate some more! :) I was sad to leave Sunday as it was 82 degrees, but had two little boys at home missing their mom...and Kelly too of course! Kelly took the boys trick or treating with some friends of ours here in town. They had a great time and sent me pics of their carved pumpkins and all their candy. Kelly was such a good sport....but he didn't wear his costume. HAHAHA :) Eric had to sing in church on Sunday so they spent the day hanging out and waiting for mom to come home. This week will be spent at 2 football games and catching up from last week. Unbelievable that it is November. Alic will be 4 a week from today, so I will also be planning a bday party too!!! Have a great week everybody!!!
