We are in a year where both the 7th and 8th grades are low boys. We only have 15 boys out this year which means that the boys play the whole game with only a short break. Most of these boys played very little last year so we are so impressed how well they play! Chase is an 8th grader this year and has grown quite a bit....</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>I'm so proud of him</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Vickihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05439865757873452056noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238598914870317712.post-26132540413975573002009-09-29T09:06:00.001-06:002009-09-29T09:08:13.072-06:00Slacker!I know that I havent been very good at updating.....sorry.

She has been such a highlight to our life! She was old enough to play soccer this year but the weather has just not be cooperative so she has had to make up games.

One of the great things, because seriously many times when something good happens to someone....you may say your happy but...Not with this girl because she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet, she is gorgeous on top of that, she does things for people out of the goodness of her heart without any hidden agenda or without any recognition....so I feel the need to give her a big<br />WOOP WOOP ;) You go girl!Vickihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05439865757873452056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238598914870317712.post-74929205071789341932009-04-30T22:31:00.007-06:002009-04-30T23:01:42.426-06:00Busy Busy Busy<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dz-Oz-CZTLcuE0z8ySlBAe5Jeow4o8dBoHo4iIS2Ej5GOTJ1ZY4m4D3TTibjAi0n73FfwqwVbWOl8YOTWrVCg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Poor Autumn has waited 3 weeks to finally have a soccer game...She measures everything by "wake ups" so we would do the countdown every week to get to Friday only to expect terrible weather so the games would be postponed....she has been a trooper and patiently waited!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjBNp3L4MJfRnnBJM-qC3hOvN8rDr-LUZtsjo81vbGxVa0yM5tR0AbLnWGAssNv67JnNMagkx_pJui2tUMF1M6Y0YUQQZ8buqCWfnpdDgRq3nfGqP5KxHSc50-54d4E-ScPL6Ysqy2uz2T/s1600-h/P1010534.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

We really enjoyed the different cities that we have lived in but as we had children and they started to get bigger the pull to take them back to our roots became very strong. After being away for quite a few years of course we remembered all the good things about a small town (willingness to help, knowing your neighbor since birth) you know the drill. However you forget the little things like gossip, and everyone thinking that they can voice their opinion simply because they have known your family since birth. We picked our little town because of the friendliness of people and the closeness however it is those things that really make me ready to move on. Of course just like everything else it seems like the bad things tend to overshadow the good. There are a lot of great people out there but they tend to get lost in the mix of people that like to bring people down. (Lauren, since you are the few that read this...you are a good one)<br />I think that I'm ready for a bigger town!!! A little anemity goes a long way<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85725/vickianderson/7b92e41551371533bb83acde9ae6d375.png" border="0" /></a>Vickihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05439865757873452056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238598914870317712.post-7519587592887628292009-03-19T13:28:00.002-06:002009-03-19T13:30:40.180-06:00desperation for more readers!<a href="http://kerisklutter.typepad.com/weblog/2009/03/lucky-me-lucky-you.html">lucky me, lucky you</a><br />Lucky you!The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me!My choice.For you.<br />This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:<br />1 - I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! (Though I may ask some questions during the process.)<br />2 - What I create will be just for you.<br />3 - It'll be done this year (might take a little while).<br />4 - You have no clue what it's going to be. It might be a paper creation. I may crochet or quilt (You should hope not) something. I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!<br />5 - I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same.<br />The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me!Oh, and if you're a blogger....be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!
