Football and a Shower

I was pretty busy this past weekend, which started off AWESOME. My son had his JV football game on Friday & scored three touchdowns (well, technically 2 because 1 got called back, a blocker did an illegal block long after my son had passed him-it was a 60 yd. run too!) It was so cool seeing him out run all the players & score...yes I'm a proud mama!

the kid's got moves

and speed...

Saturday was my friend Christie's baby shower. I did the dirty diaper game. For those of you who haven't heard of it, I bought 10 different chocolate candy bars & then melted each one in a newborn diaper. I then numbered each diaper & the girls had to pass the diapers around & try to figure out which candy bar was in each of them. The one who guessed the most right gets a prize.

This game cracks me up because all these ladies are smelling diapers...and yes I do have a sick sense of humor!LOL!

The girl who won was able to guess 5 out of 10 right.

Christie's husband made these cupcakes for the party!

now that's what I call a good husband...

THANK YOU!!

First of all...You guys made my day SO special!! I can't believe ALL the comments I received...WOW! I will be getting back to EVERYONE, I just had one of those CRAZY weekends. We had four separate football games, a parent-player luncheon, pictures, and I worked in the nursery at church...so don't think, "I see how it is, I comment and she just ignores me, she's one of those people who just take and never show the love back!" I'll be by, you guys are the BEST, you are all so patient and understanding...no wonder I love SITSta's.

ME AND JULLIEN AT HIS LUNCHEON BEFORE FRIDAY'S GAME (Do we look alike?)

Now about the football games, Jullien's Varsity team killed Dana Hills 48-20 (it was really 48-6) but they always put the second string in to give them a chance to play in a varsity game and keep the starters from getting injured. This Friday is the BIG game against Servite High. It will be broadcast on Fox Sports Net. They will be doing a huge special interest piece during the airing about Luke Gane.

DISCUSSING DEFENSIVE STRATEGIES FOR THE GAME

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS...YAAAAY!

I don't know if you remember from my previous post, but Servite was the first team to show up at a fundraiser called "Locks for Luke." At 7:00 a.m. all the senior players were the first one's there along with their coach and a large check for the family. They buzzed their heads and all went out in the parking lot, knelt down in a circle and prayed for Luke...pretty AMAZING! They will be airing all of this along with interview's from the boys and the Gane family.

Watch it if you get a chance, I think it will be aired Friday night and then repeated on Saturday. I'll let you know exactly when I hear the specific times. Oh yeah, my son is the strong safety (defense) on Edison (Green Bay colors) HE'S #9...let me know if you see him in the game.

Adam (my step-son) played in the A & B Freshman game, the A team won, the B team lost. He played wide receiver in the A game and linebacker in the B game and had some great plays.

ADAM CATCHING A PASS AND BREAKING TACKLES

Elijah played the other Huntington Beach team (HUGE rival)...it was a battle and ended up 0-0. They had scouted us and had his number as you can see whenever he got the ball they SWARMED him...it was a good but stressful game.

ELIJAH TRYING TO AVOID BEING TACKLED!

TALK TO YOU ALL VERY SOON!!!!!
