Tamale How To!

Ok, this post is mostly for Anne. However, I am sure Amy and Mom will get a good laugh at Ella and my video debut. Good luck Anne. Call me if you need any help.

Should I or Shouldn't I????

Well, that is the question.

I am started P90X again today, and I WILL finish it before i go to Vegas with Anne for our birthdays.

So, now my question....should I post the picture i just took of myself on day 1. My plan was to take a picture every Wednesday to show my progress. I think it will motivate me to keep up with it.

Well, I guess I will take another picture next week and make a decision.

Royal Knights

Tonight was Ella's first game of the soccer season. She has been doing so well at practice these last couple of weeks. I think she is finally "getting it"!!!!! As she was getting ready I realized 2 things....1. CRAP her socks are white. How am I going to keep those clean all season???? 2. CRAP I forgot that she has softball cleats and not soccer cleats. Just in case you don't know...the only different between the two is that softball cleats have an extra cleat right in the front. So what does this cheap creative mom do???? I sawed off the front cleat!!! Oh yes, I did! I changed into my matching uniform top (yes, I am that soccer mom) and out the door we went. Now, we live in the desert and most of the time I will not complain about the temperature, but it is FREAKING cold outside...50s and I don't like it one bit. Ella on the other hand seems to be oblivious to the fact that it is cold outside. I had to fight with her to wear a long sleeved shirt under her uniform. Anyway, I digress. I had to bundle up in a blanket in order to watch her play. And BOY DID SHE PLAY WELL...like I said she is "getting it". She played about half of the game and SCORED 1 of her team's 2 scores!!! Yippee, she was super excited and had to call Papa, Daddy, and Nany/Nate...and text her Auntie Anne. The Royal Knights didn't win, but did a fabulous job. Next game is on Saturday.
