Let Me Out!

We had a really great Christmas, but right after Christmas, the boys came down with strep. It was NOT FUN! They were miserable. We were stuck at home for three days and by New Year's Eve I was ready to get out! The boys were all better, so all the kid's went to stay with Aunt Marsha for the night. Mark and I went out to an Irish Pub and had a great time. We have never went out for New Year's before, EVER! Before we had kids, we always had to work, then we had kids and the opportunity never presented itself. We had no idea what to do, but we thought the Irish Pub sounded like fun. Apparently everyone else did, too, because there were no tables when we arrived at 5:30 to eat. We were supposed to make reservations. Oh, well, we stood, yes there weren't even any available chairs at the bar. So we toasted in the Irish New Year at 6:00 p.m., ate some really good food, and went home. I know not very exciting, but I'm super glad I got to toast in the New Year with my Love, even if it was at 6:00 p.m.!

I'm not sure what 2011 will bring, except for strep. Yes, now Meah is sick! After, the ending to 2009, I wasn't sure how 2010 was going to be, but we had more Blessings than we ever imagined. Here's praying for Health for 2010, that is really all that is important to us, well Health and Happiness!

Here's to Health and Happiness for 2011!

Merry Christmas...

From Our House to Yours!

First NFL Experience

We were lucky enough to receive some free tickets to last Sunday's Chiefs v. Rams Football game. We had three tickets and decided to suprise Acel with the tickets. We could have received more tickets, but we knew that the other three wouldn't enjoy the game, which would mean that we wouldn't enjoy the game, so we decided to take Acel by himself. It's always nice to take one child by themselves now and then. They love the extra special attention and it is definitely a nice break and quite odd to only have to watch one child!

I had gotten up at 5:00 am to get ready since we had to drive to St. Louis. At about 5:30, I went to go get Acel, who is our early riser, and found him all ready awake. I told him to get dressed and come downstairs that Dad and I had a suprise for him. On Saturday, I had went to Dick's Sporting Goods and found a Matt Cassel shirt for him and Mark had wrapped it up. I gave him the gift to open and he opened it. Acel does not get excited over anything, he said, "It's a Matt Cassel shirt". I said, "Where would be a good place to wear that shirt?" He said, "A Chief's game". I'm so excited, of course and he was too, but he just does not show excitement. I said, "Yeah, baby, we're going to the game." He just looked at Mark and I and said, "Suh-Weet." Later in the car he said, "Mom, I've got four words for you, Best Christmas Present E-Ver!"

After getting inside the stadium, we found our seats. Thankfully, Acel thinks the higher you are, the better your seats! Me, not so much, but they weren't too bad and he loved them. The game started out kind of slow for the Chiefs, but they started picking up momentum and when they made their first touchdown, the guys in front of us started hi-fiving and turned around and were hi-fiving us and Acel was looking around like we were all crazy, but hurried and put down his pop to get in on the hi-fiving.

Even though it was a long drive, it was definitely worth it! GO CHIEFS!!
