OK - almost a new school year....

So - hopefully I will have time to post on here again... Things have been CRAZY around here this summer and we didn't even have baseball games to run to! LOL

Bubba has started football practice this week and so far he actually gets right out of bed for it... lets hope that continues! Other than that - the last couple of weeks have been fairly calm thankfully... 1/2 more weeks until school starts and then maybe things will calm down even more...

I think that is it for now... I'm not too awake yet - so... :)

Who Says White Boys Can't Jump?

I was just going through the online galleries for our school and found these pix of Bubba. I had to laugh... maybe I should put a brick on his head? :)

3rd Track Meet...

Man - this boy is doing GREAT! At this meet he finally got all four GOLD METALS! YAY! :D He got a gold in the 75 meter hurdles, the 200 meter hurdles, the 100 meter dash and the 4x400 relay! I keep telling him not to expect to do so well at every meet - there are kids out there faster than him! But, if he keeps doing this good I may have to eat my words! x) LOL

I love my water bottles! :)

I just bought myself a new water bottle from reusablebags.com and I LOVE it! :) Here is the one I got -

I actually have the purple "Rise Above Plastic" one. :)

The ones I have had before were more like sports bottle tops - this one is a screw off and I really like that better. Bubba likes the sports bottle ones to take fishing - so he can have my old ones. I did buy him a couple of new ones too - but these had better not go fishing!! Here they are -

Funny thing is - in this image they look really short and fat... really they are tall and just a little bigger around than a pop can.

Also - to further help our bottled water drinking family go a little more green - I have bought a water filtration pitcher. I really like it. And I've already noticed I drink more water now - and I'm not purchasing as many bottled waters since I can just take my filtered water with me! YAY!

Good News Is....

We have water again... Bad news is - we can't drink it! I need to find out if one of those purify pitchers would make it OK to drink... but I don't think that is what those are really made for... Oh well! At least I can take a bath again!! :)

No Water?

One of the MAIN water mains broke up town today! The ENTIRE town is out of water! They have to bring someone in to fix it... this could really suck...

Second Track Meet

Well - yesterday was the second track meet of the season. Bubba did pretty good again. :) He got a gold in the 75 meter hurdles, a silver in the 100 meter dash, a silver in the 200 meter dash and a silver in the 4x400 relay... again - not too bad! It was a pretty big meet too - 11 schools.
