Sad day

After a hard fought fight, Ator field will be no more. Read about it here.
Ator field is a well known landmark in Owasso and will be missed. I don't know this man who decided to take the promised land away from the Owasso Public schools personally, but I do know one thing, I don't have a very high opinion of him. I don't think anyone here in Owasso does. I don't understand how someone can be so heartless!

Football Funny

While I was watching my son's football game Saturday, there was a questionable call. I didn't think much of it, cause we were winning the game anyways, when one of the other parents who was sitting about 5 rows above me, and he is an OU fan yelled, "Hey Kim, are we in Oregon? Didn't we recover the ball?"
All I could do is laugh and say, "haven't you gotten over that yet?"
We all got a laugh out of that one...
At least he has a sense of humor!

Picture day

Today was picture day at school. I remember on my picture days, mom said she would fix my hair up really cute but when she'd get the pictures, it was all messed up and looked nothing like it did when she sent me.
So, I wanted proof that I actually did fix Ashleigh's hair before she left the house for school..... When she got home, almost all the curls were gone. I hope that they got the pictured taken before that happened! We will see when we get her pics back.
(Zach got his pic made too, but he wouldn't let me touch his hair, so I didn't bother to take his pic.... besides, there isn't that much on top of his head to mess up!)

GO DRAGONS

Lazy Dog

Our dog Joe fell asleep like this in our kitchen floor... what a bum

8 years ago today....

8 years ago today was the day I became a mommy! It was one of the best days of my life!
Today is my son Zachary's birthday! Happy Birthday Zachary, I'm so proud of you!

Pics of Saturday's game

There was a photographer on the sidelines at the game Saturday. Here is the link if you are interested in looking.... Zach is #10 and is in 4 of the 130 or so pics....

Sept. 23 game

The team Ashleigh cheers for, the DRAGONS, won yesterday. Those little ones are sooooo cute... on one of the touchdown runs, the little boy carrying the ball took a moment to look at the fans on the sideline and shot us a big "look at me" grin... before running into the endzone.
Zach's team won 35 - 0 against Broken Arrow. The boys played really well again and Zach even got to make a kick off return. He only ran for 2 or 3 yards, but at least he got to touch the ball. I was proud. After the game, that is the first thing that he mentioned. He said "mom, did you see me?" ... I gave him a big hug and told him I was proud of him! His team is now 4-0. Next weeks game at Berryhill will be a test for us, cause they are a really tough team. GO RAMS!

Starting to not feel sorry for them anymore!

(stepping up on soap box)
Okay. In my last post, I stated that OU was cheated at the Oregon game and that I felt sorry for them. We ALL know that they were cheated... and now, the officials who made the bad calls are being punished, which is the right thing to do. They should be punished for it, cause it totally changed the outcome of the game.
But, I am starting to lose my sympathy for OU cause they won't let it go....
It was just a game and an NON CONFERENCE one at that. I don't think it sends a good message to our youth to keep whining about it... yes, I know that Oregon was a ranked team and yes I know that it knocked OU down the polls a bit... but they are STILL in the top 25!
We know that OU was cheated, we know that it was because bad calls, but now OU needs to quit dwelling on the Oregon game and show the world that they can rise above it.
I, as an OSU fan, am accustomed to losing and moving on, OU fans, if you need any lessons on "how to accept a loss" I am sure that I can start teaching classes on it. An REAL fan is a fan NO MATTER WHAT the outcome of the game.
(now I will climb down from my soap box.... OU, please don't give me reason to climb back up on it!)

OU was cheated

Yep.... you saw it here on my blog.... OU was cheated the other day when they played Oregon. As much as I hate to admit it, I actually felt sorry for OU the other day cause there was some really BAD calls made in that game and OU probably would've won if those bad calls weren't made. Now don't get me wrong, I usually don't mind when OU gets beat, (I usually enjoy it thoroughly, jump for joy, etc....) but I want them beat fair and square not by bad officiating!
(BTW, I still bleed ORANGE and BLACK!)

Kid pics

Today's score....

Ashleigh's first slumber party

Ashleigh went to her first slumber party last night. It was at her cheerleading coaches house and she had a blast!
I think it was harder on me than it was her cause it's not very often that I don't have all of my little ones "in the nest"! But I did OK and so did she.

Team of the week

Every week, there is a FOR (Future Owasso Rams) "team of the week". This week Third Grade Black was selected! It's a great group of boys and is well deserved! Congratulations, boys!

Sept 9th Football Game

My son's team won their football game today over Jenks. As Zach put it, "they kicked some Trojan butt"
Owasso Black - 33
Jenks Gold - 6

GO RAMS!!!!!

Sanity check

After Saturday, I may have to have a sanity check done. It's gonna be a BUSY day! Zach has football pics first thing, then a game, then 30 minutes after Zach's game starts, Ashleigh has a game to cheer at. Then, she has practice afterwards and a slumber party.... after Z's game, we have a neighborhood block party to go to for a little while that afternoon and then Zach has a football party later that evening.... So, after all of that, I may need to have someone check my "marble count" because I only have a few more "marbles" left and I think that I may loose them all after Saturday!
Ashleigh's coach asked if they could do team pictures that day and when I frantically said "could we do it some other time?" they, thank goodness, changed the time to sometime next week!

My little Cheerleader

Tonight was Ashleigh's first game to cheer at and they all did a great job.... Ashleigh, of course, was the loudest.... and if you ask me, she was the cutest! (I might be just a little biased tho!)

Goofy dog

Okay. It's official. My dog Joey is GOOFY!
I bought him a dog waterer so that he wouldn't run out of water so quickly.... and everytime it refills itself after he takes a drink, it bubbles.... it makes him jump back and run away every time.... I am hoping that he would be a little more brave if he ever had to protect the family! I knew that Joey was skiddish but I didn't realize he was THAT jumpy!
