UH 29 Tech 28!!!!!!!!

Did anyone of you see that game?  It was a great experience--packed seats, lots of cheering, great fans, and a winning HOME TEAM!  I am still totally on a winning buzz with this game.  We were on the edge of our seats the entire game.  [Although disappointed by my Whataburg** not having milkshakes for my sore throat (after the game-could barely speak).]  We watched the game again on our replay just to relive it once more.  It was still just as sweet the second time we watched the Coogs win.

I am so happy that the team is doing well.  It means so much to the University of Houston on so many different levels.  It is absolutely invigorating to know that just maybe we will get excellent recruits (academic and athletic) because of our competitive football team.

For many years University of Houston has been touted as just the local commuter school.  But, there is so much experience, opportunity, and potential on this campus every year that goes unnoticed.  I love my alma mater and I am a proud UH-Technology Graduate.

Eat 'Em Up Coogs!

Yummy Fairy Cakes

My kids and I whipped up some happiness.  Look at this pink cupcake (fairy cakes for the believers) with special sprinkles.  So yummy--we couldn't wait to taste it.  Some things in life can be simple and pleasurable.  We just have to remember them when the time comes.

 

I can't say that washing the bowls and baking pans while standing on top of hundreds of tiny sprinkle candies (unavoidable) was as satisfying as that bite of cupcake.  But the smiles on the faces of my family definitely was!

Enjoy The View

I love my baby's big brown eyes!  I caught Malcolm by surprise with the flash of my camera and he muttered something in Malcolmspeak.  I am not sure if he was scolding me or if he was asking for a drink of water but, I know that I got a great shot of what I love about him on "film".  Enjoy the view, I do.

Go Coogs!

Most people that know me realize that I am faithful fan of the UH Cougars (Eat em Up!).  But, not everyone knows about the shear satisfaction that I get from watching them upset another team! 

I have seen many humbling losses and many GREAT wins!  It is exhilarating and I keep coming back each year for more of that poison.  The last game was gut wrenching.  Like every other Coog, I couldn't turn away--I just knew something great was going to happen. And the prediction was right on--they dazzled us with a 45-35 win against a nationally ranked team!!!

UH Cougars ARE that good!  We can justify and analyze the games all night (which is half the fun).  Sometimes the other team just beats you at your game (even when you are a great team). My advice--lighten up, have some fun, and TAKE IT LIKE A COOG!

My Favorite Kid's Show

I am often asked if I follow any sitcom programming.  I generally don't follow a television show written for adults. I do watch a lot of children's programming. My favorite by far is Charlie and Lola.

My kids (ages 1, 5, &,8) enjoy the unique animation and the soothing music. The moral/message in each show is always appropriate and relevant to today's children. More than anything I love the way the children treat each other (with kindness).

If you want a really entertaining sweet show to share with your children try this one.  I hope you love Charlie and Lola as much as we do.

Labor Day Weekend!

I had a busy weekend.  I am so tired.  We saw UH football game -Eat em up Eat em up Go Coogs Go!  They won 55-7.  Not much competition this time.  I hope they win next weekend.

We spent yesterday together in the back yard--it was great- friends, kids, lemonade, and juicy ribs. Yum!  I also started my own facebook account and my very first blog.  So I will do what I can to keep it up and post my musings on a regular basis.

I will sign in again soon.

My New Blog

Hello Everyone!

I have decided to start my own family blog spot.  I have a grasp of the Face Book concept but, I really don't have all the time to read every single post on my wall and it is really OVERWHELMING!  No wonder people seem "addicted" to it.  I am going to give this a good effort and see where it leads me.

So, this blog will start off with my learning of the art of BLOG.  It will also share recounts of the whacky fun and not so fun things that go on in my loving home.  My English could use a brush up too!

Pray for me everybody!!!
