Playoff Game 1- Warriors vs. Broncos

Well, today was the first of Tristan's 2 playoff games. They won with a score of 19-0. Boy was it hot out today! The game was at 11am, and we kept pouring water down their backs, having them drink lots of water and Gatorade, and misting their faces with water. They all had great spirits though, and played well. Our next game will be better. It is Wednesday night at 6pm. So it will be much cooler and not so miserable. As long as we win the next game, we will be going to the championship game on May 31.

As far as the other league is concerned, the season is over. They came out in second place overall, and they are all really happy with that. It was a good experience for all the players to have an opportunity to play a lot of different positions, and I know that they all learned a lot. So I am very proud of every Warrior player, all 18 of them! They made it through another great season, and have all individually progressed so much. I can't wait for the fall season, however I am really looking forward to a few months off!

The living room

So the living room is just about done now, so I wanted to put some photos up. I have a coffee table/ end table set picked out, I just need to order it. And the big shelf above needs some more things, but those will come with time. I also want to put up some widow treatments, but also in time...

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms I know! I hope you all have a great day. I know I sure am. My boys suprised me with some beautiful flowers (thanks Tristan!), Krispy Kreme donuts (thanks Jasen!), and new salt and pepper shakers (thanks Hunter, since you broke mine last week!). And Cahl made me crepes for breakfast, so good! After all that, we went over to Cahl's uncle Dan's house for a Mother's Day brunch. Cahl's grandparents, his uncle Dan and his wife Gail, his uncle Mike and his girlfriend Diana, his aunt Kathy with her daughter, his cousin Jayme with her husband and kids, his cousin Raymond and his daughter, and his cousin Chrystee with her husband and daughter were all there. We all had a nice time visiting and the food was great. The boys even swam for a bit in the pool. When that was done, we went and did a little shopping. Cahl and I got the things to build a tree to put up on the shelf above the living room. So I am excited about that. Pictures to come!

Thanks for such a great day guys. I had a great time, and I sure do love you all!

Friday night was the Spring Carnival at Tristan's school. We all went down and the boys played all the games (twice or more!) and we had dinner there. They all had a lot of fun.

Hard at work

Well, since we moved in, Cahl has been hard at work in the back yard. He has re-seeded and fertalized twice, and made planters around the rows of trees. He also took out two trees and put the playhouse in. Around the patio cover, he also installed a mister system. It is nice to sit out on the patio in the evenings and have it on. On the patio we put three half barrels and planted hydrangeas with some little annuals around them. I also planted some lillies in a big pot I have.

This is now, all the new grass and planters

See the edge around the trees, the playhouse and Buddy!
