Varisty Blues Revisited

Have you ever seen "Varsity Blues"? If so, then you know that the whole town revolves around the High School football team! Well, our town isn't that far off from that concept. I love a good football game, but these days, I'm more interested in how Little Hauss enjoys them! There is a large hill that all the kids play on and roll down at the stadium, and don't you think for a minute that Little Hauss wasn't right there in the action! He did pretty well of not getting in any big kids way or getting trampled by the many touch football games going on around him. He is next in line to be a great football player or coach. He comes from a long line of them...Hubby's dad, Papa, was a player, even in the hall of fame for his college team, and a great coach for a couple high school teams, then there's an uncle who played for Virginia Tech on a full scholarship who then went on to coach at Marshall University, and then Hubby who played at the College level as well. So, with all that history behind him and the size, he has potential to be great! Well, we might be in for a surprise because this is how the evening played out. Get to the game, hang out at a little tailgate, go into stadium, get to hill, play on hill and roll around.......hear drums, stop, sit still in mom's lap and watch the entire pre game show!!!!!!! Music ends, back to rolling down hill and running off all the suckers had at the tailgate, halftime, drums again......stops dead in his tracks, sits still and watches entire half time show!!!!!! So, we might just have to wait and see how all this pans out!!!! Nothing wrong with being a musician, but I know a few tough guys that might be a little disappointed if he's not in some shoulder pads sporting a helmet!!!!

Pre game show

Another Sucker!

The whole family!

Below is a video of the fun Little Hauss had rolling down the big hill! By the way, this was just one of the many repeat performances of the night!

Fun on the Farm....well, the creamery!

Fall, I love it. Its the my favorite season of the year! The changing of the leaves, the crispness in the air, the comfort food! I love everything about it. There are so many fun and exciting things to experience that I want to share with little hauss, so we've already gotten started.
We've recently started buying milk from a local creamery and its wonderful! They deliver to the house every week and we've expanded into more items as well which is great to support a local business, the milk is hormone free, and it tastes great!
Well, they had an open house last weekend that we took little hauss to and we all had so much fun! There were hayrides, tractor train rides, ice cream, fresh cider making (by hand), a petting zoo that included cows and chickens, and tours of the creamery! I would definitely recommend experiencing something like this with little ones.

My Sweet Angel

It warms my heart to hear my little hauss tell me he loves me! He always says it back after I tell him first and on occassion, he tells me first! But, when he woke up in the middle of the night a couple of nights ago to go potty and I tucked him back in bed, I heard the sweetest words...."I love you momma" as I left the room. He makes me melt!

Whirlwind

Wow, it's been a busy week! Last weekend, it started with my first and last yardsale EVER! Lemmetellya, not something I recommend! I did make quite a bit of money, but when you factor in the time it takes to go through everything you own, or have ever owned, tag it, set it up, clean it up, and haul it off to goodwill, it really doesn't amount to much! My mom joined me in the venture, well, I pretty much forced it upon her, but we slpit the profits, so she got a little something out of it!

Parents were here for 9 days! I love that they are able to visit so much, especially since they want to keep little hauss ALL the time! Gigi picked up little man everyday from preschool AND cooked dinner! Nothing better than that! I got to go to happy hour with the girls and workout in the evenings after work! When they are here, I feel like I don't really get anything done. My house looks like a pigsty and I didn't get to the grocery store until the cabinets were bare, but I have so much fun with them, so it all works out.

We also attended a wedding last weekend that was really nice, but most of all, we were just excited to have a night out! Its been a while since we've been out by ourselves, so we took full advantage and went out afterwards to meet some friends!

The week was also consumed with training for Daddy and classes for me! I'm so used to making up my own schedule, that having to be somewhere on someone else's time was a little weird. I still had my Friday off, so that was nice to be able to catch up on all of the errands I missed out on during the week. We did have time to squeeze in a little bike riding for the little huass though. I'm going to be able to take him on my training runs he was going so fast!

Little hauss went for his 3 year checkup and is officially HUGE! Not that we didn't know that already, but getting the measurements are just clarification. He weighed in at 44 pounds and is 40.5 inches tall! The Doctor said that is your typical 4 year old!!!!! Too bad he just turned 3! I always said I would take him to an amusement park when he was tall enough to ride the big rides, but I think we'll hold off. Definitely needs to be at least 5 before a roller coster!

Looking forward to a relaxing, low key weekend. Enjoy yours!

Happy 3rd Birthday!

Luke Skywalker?

Little Angel!

Anticipation! (He got a big boy bike)

Yummy!

13.1

That is the number of miles in a Half Marathon! Now, most of you that know me, know that I do NOT love to run. A good brisk walk yes, but a run, notsomuch! So, a girlfriend of my, marathon girl, has almost convinced me that this will be a good idea! It is 6 months away and at DISNEY WORLD!!!!! I'm torn becuase I love me some Disney and the idea of a girls weekend without the Hubby or Little Hauss, but running?? Really?
I did some research on the half marathon training programs out there on the internet, and found some that I feel I could really work with, not to mention, it could get some of the extra baggage I've been carrying around off. I looked up the info on the Disney website about the event and it does look like a great time! Its called the Disney Princess Half Marathon! Obviously, its for Princesses, which both my friend and I definitely are, so you see my problem! I was getting pretty convinced that I could actually pull this off and then, there is was, the small print that said, maximum time to complete race will be 3.5 hours! Notsosure about that! That is 16 minutes a mile! Now, I can walk a fast mile, but 13 of them all at once????
This definitely calls for some thought!

It's OK....

IF Hubby loads the dishwasher and I have to reload it the correct way...
IF Hubby doesn't separate the clothes before loading them into the washing machine...
IF Hubby does little huass' laundry but doesn't use spray and wash (EVER)...
IF Hubby leaves his folded clothes on top of his dresser for days....
BECAUSE I love Hubby and he does about 85% of the housework!!!!!! I really can't complain about that now can I!!!! Thanks Hubby for all you do!
