Bowling and Rugby

hahaha that almost is an oxymoron! I have been bowling for about 15 years or so... I love it. But I am not the kind of person that has fun at it. Its all about the competition for me. I have fun in my own sort of way. I love the calm adrenaline that comes with getting more than three strikes in a row, or beating my average.I love the tense atmosphere of a tournament. I thrive on those emotions and I love to bowl. I love spending time with my team mates and have a lot of fun with them but when I get on that lane and pick up my ball its all about me and the five pins at the wooden lane. I love it. I went to the movie last night here in town. Invictus was playing. It was such a great history lesson and a wonderful and entertaining movie. I played high school rugby for 4 years and I loved it. I loved it in so many different ways than I love bowling. You have to work with your team. You have to pass the ball and push your way through people. In the movie Matt Damon plays right flank. The same position I played. I was all excited and almost yelling at the screen lol. I loved playing, I loved the adrenaline of having the ball in my hands and running straight into 5 to 8 girls wanting the ball, falling to the ground and praying you don't get stepped on. I loved to engage in a scrum and push with all my might until that ball came out and I took off running. I loved lifting a girl in the air so she could catch an out of bounds ball. but most of all loved chasing and bringing a girl to her face so my team could have a chance at the ball. I miss playing with a big team and protecting that team. I have made a goal that I will play on a ladies rec team. well that's my sports spiel. hopefully I didn't sound to barbaric and you enjoyed it. I thought I would leave a little quote I got from the movie. "Soccer is a gentleman's game played by hooligans, Rugby is a hooligans sport played by Gentlemen." Invictus

Christmas, Birthday and Eggs

My baby turned One on Friday. I can't believe it! My biggest pet peeve these days is being asked the question "Are you guys done yet?" The answer has been Yes and after Nathanael canceled his appointment to get snipped no one believed us anymore. As of right now we are done for now. Right know and probably for the next who knows how long there is no way that I could physically or mentally handle being pregnant. I was so sick with Kaity that I feel like I am going to start hyperventilating at the thought at getting pregnant. We are also an incredible busy family and right now cant handle another baby or even pregnancy. If god has it in his plans to make our "protection" not work then so be it, but we are taking precautions. Neither of us want to permanently decide that we are done due to our age. We are having such are great time bonding with our three children and we love them so deeply and unconditionally. We are loving experiencing all their little quirks and personalities. Kaity has quite the vocabulary for a One year old she says Hi and bye, mommy, daddy and Nana. She has said coffee but hasn't repeated it. Shes walking and is quite the little mommy's girl. (which I love)She loves to play with her dolls and lil people and to chase and be chased. Carver is our sneaker. Last night he got up and after three or four times of both of us telling him to back to bed it was quiet. I heard some noise in the kitchen and such put shook it off thinking it was the cat. I got up and went to the kitchen to get some munchies and Carver was sitting on the floor trying to get the lid off of the milk jug. After putting him back to bed I went to tidy the dinning room and found half a dozen eggs on thr floor only one broke. How did we not hear? I have no clue he must have been in their for a while though and all the gates were closed and he has never got the kitchen one open or has never climbed it. He always has been sneaky and its getting worse. Joey is getting so big. He is turning into our little preschooler rather than our toddler. He lovers to draw and color. He also loves doing puzzles. Recently our sister in law gave us some puzzles and upon opening them he has had them done in minutes. He's a little bit of a show off and we try not to encourage that part but we are very proud of him. He also loves to sing and dance! Well there's a little peek into our lives!!

Long Time No See

So Im back. Due to being to strongly revolved around the computer and the internet I shut it all down for three months. I know Crazy idea right. I almost died in detox! No really I did. I couldn't spend all my free time on the internet, instead I had to oh my gasp. Clean my house and play with my kids(just joking i love playing with my kids). The computer and the internet were getting to be more than a drug to me. My life revolved around checking my email, facebook and reading any blog on the net that interested me to watching youtube and other useless stuff. I needed those few moths of rehab to get my head wrapped more around life and less around the computer. Don't get me wrong all those things are great but in moderation. I did cheat I would occasionally use a friends computer to get rid of all the junk in my email so it wouldn't be swamped and also I checked facebook at regular intervals on my phone but when I had time and when it wasn't interrupting MY LIFE. So now I'm on a 12 step program. Ok just pulling you leg again. but really I am only checking my email and facebook in the morning and before I go to sleep, and the other stuff I have time to check into when the kids are sleeping and before I go to bed. I know that seems like a lot but I am totally justified and that's what works for me. I do do a lot of reading on the computer but only before I go to bed now and not all day like before. I am going to try and blog a bit more I really missed that most. Well so long for now and All the best in 2010
