Don't we all Play Baseball in our Easter Duds:)

Easter Bunny doesn't bring a lot of candy to our house.... Always something small and fun. This year matching baseball mits as Jaden has had some big trouble using dads mit. LOL Had no idea how much they would actually enjoy them... played everyday since!

IKEA for a quick 2 hour shopping spree and the boys had to sleep with my rugs all the way home:)

He did it! That's my Boi!

Last weekend marked Spencer's first serious step into prepping for college football. The NIKE Chicago football combine took place. I dropped Spencer, Jeshuran and Raesean off on my way to a girls weekend and let them venture around Chicago independently for Sat and Sund. They all said it was a great experience, they wish they could practice a couple of weeks and do it again (now that they know what to expect.) However, for a practice run they all did an awesome job!!! Spencer ranked 132 out of roughly 900 athletes!!! Yea Ky!

Now on to the rest of my goings on....
I have a Junior in HS running track and playing Lacrosse (No idea how many practices and games that is in a week, WAY to many!)
A 7th grader running track and riding horses. (4 practices a week and or 2 track meets and 2 practices) Tutoring twice a week.
A 2nd grader playing soccer (1 game a week and 2-3 practices)
A 1st grader playing soccer (1 game 1 practice)
A resident that has to be picked up EVERY Wed from counseling right at the same time as the kids from school and practice.
A husband that works fulltime evening/night shift.... no not always available to help with transport (not his fault)

Hmmmm If I add all of this up that's approx 17 places I need to be on any given week. Seeing as though I'm only 1 person..... This may prove to be quite a complicating spring:)

PS somewhere in there I'm supposed to watch all these games, feed all these people and wash all there clothes?????

AND AFTER:)

Before.....

OH, and lookie there

Looking down and saw that it's 0333! Imagine that! lolololololol Work is great this time of morning...

It's beginning

This Sunday marks the beginning of Spencer's adventure into college and then perhaps the pro's. He will be spending his sunday at U of M's Highschool football combine. There will be coaches from around the country and some of the best known HS prospects in attendance. The will be getting timed and measured. Pictures taken, data collected and posted on a site somewhere where all college coaches can look them up. Then next month he will travel to Chicago to attend an even bigger NIKE highschool football combine. We've been on this athletic ride/dream for many years... However; this is going to be an entire new playing field. My baby boi has grown up, he's going to be faced with making decisions that will effect the rest of his life. He's going to chase his dream and find that he can do EVERYTHING he's always wanted. Growing pains are ruff on a momma. I'm going to cry and laugh and pray and cry and be filled with excitement all along this ride!!!! I love you Spencer F Kyller and I know you'll make your family proud!!!!!!! Enjoy yourself and remember each and every moment along the way!!!!! One day you'll be 40 and wishing you were 18 all over again... I'm not one of those persons that quickly says (I'd never go back) I'd go back and do it ALL OVER AGAIN! I had a lot of fun and made a lot of memories......

??????

I'm really really really trying hard to figure out how all my settings changed. Why are my entries no longer chunked together 1 month at a time, in a neat file down the right hand side. Why is there 8 entries and then abruptly it switches to 2 years ago at my first entry... GggGGgrrrrr What the heck???

What the heck?

janet please come help me figure out how I messed up my settings?????

whoops, that one was to small to see how he's grown!

Santa WHAT were you thinking?

OK, we went to pick out our most perfect puppy! Jaden was going to be sooooo surprised this Christmas! I instantly was drawn to the runt and to the blue eyes beauty! Never had I seen a sky blue eye on a dog. The spooky white ones that Husky's have, but not sky blue! I figured and said out loud "he's coming to a very unique household and he's incredibly unique, so he must be the one for us!" Little did I know the blue eye must make him stupid. I don't think he'll ever potty train. He's cost us an emergency surgery, endless accidents, fights over who's turn it is to take him out etc etc etc... What was Santa thinking. Oh I know, I remember now.... He was thinking... He sure is damn cute for a Beagle!!!!

I came home 1 day early...

I was supposed to fly home Tuesday night! Heard a big storm was coming.... Boy, that was right! This is what I awoke to over the following 36 hours!!!!

My newest Niece and I got to spend a week together:)

Facebook killed my BLOG!!!

Seems that everything I used to post here I have spent the last year posting on FB! If I was really good at this I'd have someone show me how to streamline my status updates to this site:) I'm going to do better b/c this will be more fun to read later down the line! So, Jona is the one making all of us smile these days.... Yesterday she was asking about brown and white skin, a genetics lesson for 1st grade. I get finished with the "part of me and part of dad lesson" and think she gets it. She says to me "So, ky and jaden and me are all brown cuz we have half of you and half of dad?" Yes, that is correct. THEN "that means Olyvia is all of you and none of dad.... she's only momma genes:) yes yes dear... What the hell else was I supposed to say:)

Trying to get these panoramic's to work??

CONTINUED!!!!

My 7th, 8th U2 Concert? I don't know, lost track??

This one was really special for me, I brought Spencer to his VERY first U2 concert!!! I do believe it was as magical for him as it was for MEEEE, Ivan came, (what a trooper) It's not Prince after all! Let me not forget Patty, one of my oldest and dearest and bestest friends and avid U2 fan!!!!!
