Saturday night.
Sunday morning.

Yesterday, we left the coast at 10 and were home by noon. I did 5 loads, yes, count them,5 loads of laundry. they even got out to hang dry. Your dad and sister did the lawn and your dad worked in the flower beds.

We had p8izza for dinner and watched football. I worked on your bag tags a bit. I need to pick a new color cartridge so I can finish them. I hope you like them.

TODAY: Monday, just another Monday. Classes went well. It is rather warm here so by 4th period they were pretty lethargic, so we had a little chat that dressing down is not considered participating, but moving while dressed down is. I think it went over their heads.

Had a meeting after school. Doing this, getting ready to go pay the club bill and go to the soccer game. Your sister is playing today and tomorrow. I don't know if she knows yet, but I will let her know after the game. They are playing McKay so she is hoping to play on the field, otherwise she might get a tad bit bored. Your dad will be there.

Don't know what is for dinner. Your dad has to go back to school for a freshman night or something, so it's just kristin, me and of course the puppies.

Hope you had a good day and look forward to reading your blog tonight.

MOM

Kristin looking like a real goalie. She is doing a great job. Not too vocal to bother everyone but forceful enough that people understand she means business.
the puppies and your dad sleeping in. didn't eat breakfast until after 9:30 today.

The view out the front of the motorhome. It is a beautiful day today.

Your dad got in lst night at 11:45. We all fell right asleep. the puppies didn't get up until 6:07 this morning. it was wonderful. I couldn't go back to sleep because of your dad's snoring, so I watched tv.

After breakfast, we took the puppies for a walk. Maddie pooped once and Lexi did a twofer. glad I pick up another baggie.

Went to the outlet mall and got conned into buying shoes for two young ladies. I'm surprised that Dylan didn't want a pair too. I bought a couple pairs of shorts, 2 for $24. they are men's but I couldn't beat the price. On the way home, we stopped at a bead shop and bought Kristin a starter kit. She also bought some beads so that is what she is doing now.

Your dad is waiting for the Duck game. Listening right now (hahaha). The puppies are on the bed with me.

Dinner is in the Crock Pot. I'm trying a rib roast with potatoes, green beans and onions for extra taste. You should consider getting a crock pot so you and D can have meals cooking all day so it will be ready after practice. they are great for soups and stews. With just the 2 of you, you could have a couple of meals from it.

Time to quit, the game is on.

Love,

all of us

going to the beach

GOING TO THE BEACH

guess what we are doing---going to the beach. kristin and I are leaving after her practice and dad is coming over after they beat north. He will be late and the puppies will wake up the whole park when he arrives. We are going to sleep in (yeah, right), relax, and shop. No golf.

Will send you pics from there

wish you were with us, but no stopping the Phillips family when katie is not there.

Have a nice weekend.

You know about yesterday. the celts were outplayed and didn't deserve to win. WS layed really well.

this morning: the puppies slept in until 5:30. I got up to feed them since your dad was out late. Made coffee at the same time. Got up at 6am to watch golf, do 3 loads of laundry and read the paper.

cleaned out the closet where I keep the bath towels and sheets. got rid of some sheets that we don't need.

Your dad worked outside and mowed the lawn. We both watched the golf on and off.

We didn't get the Duck game on tv so when we got to the club, I went in and watched a bit of the first half. How dissapointing. At leasdt they gave it a go in the second half.

Had a tee time for 2. Fitz and Russ played with us. We had a lot of fun. Poor russ. Went out in a 42 and came back in a 55. I have never seen a golf swing go so fast. If it would have been me, I would have been crying. Your dad and fitz both shot 85's. Fitz had to buy. He birdied 15.

Your sister had to work at 1 today and 10 tomorrow.

We went in to have a fitz drink and ended up eating in the bar. neil and his wife came in sat with us for awhile and had a drink too. When we left, Fitz, russ, Neil and his wife were still there.

Now, we are in bed watching the golf that we missed and the puppies are going down for the night. Maddies is finally compfy.

We play golf tommorow morning at our regular time. I'm fixing stew in the crock pot. We should have enough for a couple of meals at least.

have fun and stay dry.

YOUR LOVING FAMILY

Another day is over and it is getting closer to the weekend.

School was ok today. My wt. training class is big but the girls are working hard. Some of them need to learn how to push themselves, but we will get through that. In step, it was only the 2nd time we stepped and I tought them about 4 new things to get them caught up with 1st period. their learning curve is very high. Personal fitness took notes and played ulitimate "red ball" and this group did the best. It wasn't as hot and the girls participated better. There aren't any female athletes in there, but they like to play. I have a feeling that this group will not do very well on the written work and tests.

Kristin had pictures at practice. TOM is visiting and her stomach is ugly. Luckly, they didn't do much at practice. Her stomach ws really bugging her, so you know where she headed when she got home.

WE had BLT's for dinner. Your dad is at McNary for the JV football game that started at 6pm. The puppies are on guard duty. I'm watching football on tv and Kristin is in my room watching tv staying close to the pot.

Tomorrow night, I'm taking Kristin and a friend up to West for the football game. We will pick up some dinner for your dad. We will leave fairly early so that we can get a parking place. First game for us this season.

Your sister is hungry still and found the last otter pop in the frig.

Hope you have a good day tomorrow. have a nice trip on Saturday and stay in touch.

US

Jury duty: Oct. 6h. I have to call in the night before to see if I have to go in.

Tuesday: Not much happened. Gave fitness tests at school, worked on TAG stuff and went home. Kristin had a team dinner, your dad ws at soccer and volleyball, so I ate by myself (not including the puppies of course). Watched tv in the evening and fell asleep reading a book.

Wedensday: Busy day yesterday. Actually got my Personal fitness classes outside and 3rd period tried to play ultimate fresbee. It is amazing how many kids can't throw or catch the thing. 4th period, I took out small, red gator balls and played by the same rules. It's amazing how much better they did. Almost everyone could catch the ball and trhorw it too. Alot more participation in that class. ADAPTATION was the word of the day.

Went to Kristin's soccer game at South. final score 2-0 but they played much better. Brought one varsity frosh down that is not playing much. They actually had some speed as a team. Kristin played really well and is becoming very aggressive. Took one south girls out and the South girl got the foul. It ws fun listening to the McNary fans telling Kristin good job throughout the game. Parents are even coming up to me telling me what a great job she is doing. The team REALLY does need her.

Your dad had to rush home after the game to go potty, so he started the dinner. Pasta night and I had chicken.

Watched the end of The Closer since I slept through it on Monday. Now we have to wait until January.

Went to bed and read. Uncle bubba called and we talked for awhile about swimming. aunt Suzu has Diabetes so they have to watch what they are eating. He has already lost 17 lbs. That is a very good thing. It was nice talking to him. Quinn is playing water polo and really enjoying it.

I will blog again tonight after the day is over, probably around 6pm (before your dad gets home). He gives me funny looks every time I get on the computer.

Love from all of us.

have had a busy day.

Yesterday:

played golf, did laundry, watched football, and read. Of course, took time time out to play and be with the puppies.

Today:

School as usual. today was the mile day and any make-up fitness testing that was missed last week. Got almost everyone caught up. I felt a little sorry for 4th period who had to run the mile in the heat (85 degrees). Most of the girls wear sweats, so I know that didn't feel good.

after school, we had a short faculty meeting. After that, I went to get puppy food and treats and Kristin's paycheck. She made $148. Not bad.

When I got back to school at 4pm, I put together order forms and pictures for staff wear. I'm doing that again this year after missing last year. Ididn't offer as many things this year. It can be a pain in the butt.

Now I'm listening to a Christmas song on the ipod. (as you know, I'm going in order). I'm on the bee gees now. I'm here because I have to teach my first MAT class for Wilammete tonight. It starts at 5pm. I think I will be like alot of college profs and not hold them for the two hours every other Monday.

Your sister is playing North today, but I am missing it. It starts at 4:30, I guess right about now.

I don't know what we are doing for dinner. Cleary gave me some tomatoes, so I might make your dad and sister BLT's. I will see what time I get home.

Hope you made through your classes today. I'm sure it was a shock to your system to only go to three classes on a Monday. Sorry for the inconvience.

Have a great day.

Scores: Football WS 43, Tigard 42, double overtime

McNary 49, Forest Grove 7

Next week, McN vs. WS @ WS

1:15--left to play golf

1:45 teed off. We played in 3 hrs and 15 min. It was just the two of us and we motored. It was hot and sticky. It was nice when the wind came up.

As you know we had the pita pit for dinner. Your dad liked it. I think we will be going back.

Now we are watching football and the news. We are suppose to be in the 90's fpr the next few days with possible record highs.

Your sister is at work. She really likes making the money.

Hope you had a good day.

Love,

Your Family

Busy today. Did get a free D bro's though.

Classes went well. more dressed down 4th period today. that's the freshmen class.

Went to woodburn. They lost 1-0. I hate watching and your sister is getting tired of losing. Miguel has 20 girls on his squad. he has raped the jv team. I feel bad for them. I hope the freshmen up there are not sitting.

Came home for dinner and had bacon and eggs. We just finished popcorn.

Now trying to find something to watch on tv. it sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Say golf tourney tomorrow. will be there all afternoon. it is suppose to be nice weather so I can work on my tan.

LOVE YOU

Good day in the neighborhood. Busy, but good. 7th period, it took us 30 min. to get out uniforms. That's the period we all teach. What a pain.



We got to school early today so that kristin could make up chemistry tht she missed yesterday. That didn't get done because by the teacher got to hs room, it was too late. She is going to do it tomorrow morning.



Actually got alot done during my prep 5th period. Today's step class is really un coordinated. they are fun and funny. My freshman class likes to play games. That is good because they aren't very smart, but they mean well.



I love your new roomie. She is a sweetie. What is her name? Who is going to take care of her during vacations? i hope the girls have thought about that.



After school, kristin had to work with a partner for Borreson's class. When I left today, her team was sorking on defense again. She has a team dinner after practice. She will be eating well.



Tonight, I am having chicken for dinner and your dad is having a little steak. (this is where the computer went off)

The neighbors were on vacation last week. They brought us macadamia nuts and a fresh pineapple from Hawaii. The pineapple will be had for dinner tonight. Yum, yum.

Nice talking to you today. Stay out of trouble and remember, the girls are only hurting themselves. When someone complained at the end of the season because they didn't get better, I just ask, "what did you do during the season"?

LOVE YOU!!!!!!! Say hi to D.

Busy two days. yesterday, I think your dad and I were home for about 2 hours.

got up and went to school. It was the last day of not dressing down. The classes went well, but they put all of the ds's in my 8th period class. That could be fun.

afterschool, kristin and I ran home so she could take the car back to practice. I had a meeting at Willamette for my methods class. Lindsay girod-Burgess is one of my students. I also found out that I'm might have a practium student for the months of October and November. Oh boy, more work (if it's not a good one). I will find out for sure soon.

We all got home at about the same time, had a quick dinner, then your dad and I were off to a SAsuppose Y Golf meeting. That was quick, but then we had to stay for the tourneemant meeting. That is this Friday. We got home around 8:45, just in time for The Closer.


Today was hectic. First day of dressing down and you know how some of them forget their combo's and wait until the last minute to buy their clothes. In my 1st period Aerobics class, I only have 4 girls that have taken it before. My 3rd period Personal fitness class will be a good one, but in my 4th period class only about 2/3 dressed down.

Kristin was suppose to leave at 10 but the bus didn't get there until 11:15. She missed Chemistry and now has to go in tomorrow after school to do the make up. She wasn't happy and I wasn't happy.

I left school at 2:10 because the puppies had their yearly vet appt. Everything is fine.

NOW:

I'm doing this waiting for a phone call about the tournament on friday. Your dad is at a soccer game and then will be home for Pork chops in the cream of mushroom soup and extra mushrooms. Then we get to wait for a call from Kristin when she hits I-5 to pick her up from school. That will be a fun one.

HOpe everything is good with you.

Scores:

Football: MCN 28-roseburg 0
WS 3-David Douglas 7
Soccer: Girls Varsity: MCN 1-West Albany 3. I talked to Mary and she said that the frosh goalie kicked the 2nd one in and just let the third one go through. Mary wishes that you sis was up there, but Kristin does not need to know that.

Last night, Kristin and I watched 21. It was good, but not as good Vegas.

Your dad got home areound 11:15.

the waiting game. As you know, today has been a waiting game. We got up rather early this morning because, two girls were hungry. there was no tv so we read the paper and I figured out the checkbook.

We went to play golf and Kristin stayed home to wait for the dish guy.

You know what the golf scores were. I lipped out 3 birdie putts. No one got a birdie toa
day, so Fitz bought today since we have hbeen doing the buying lately.

As you know when we got home at 1:30, we were still waiting.

Your dad mowed the lawn, I did a load of laundry and went to the store. We were still waiting.

Kristin left for work at 2:30. Still no dish guy.

Kristin is working by herself today. There is a huge tournament tomorrow morning so she texted to stay that she would be late. We took her dinner AFTER THE DISH GUY LEFT. Kristin has to move all of the crts over by herself tonight. she is making alot of money.

On the way hokme we stopped at the liquer store to get margaritia's to go along with our taco's. dinner was good. the pupies thought so too.

We are now watching football getting the tv warmed up for tomorrow. The Seahawks are on at 10am. We will be watching.

Hoe your bbq went well.

Love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is finally over and the week is almost over. Your dad has not had the greatest week. The car, the roof, and now his dish doesn't work. Hopefully it will get fixed before football Saturday.

Today at school was the last day of handing out locks and 7th period was a bear. We don't have any more long lockers to give out.

I had to rush home right after school to check on the sick Lexi. Right now she is sitting in the kitchen waiting for popcorn. Sounds like she really doesn't feel good.

Went back to Kristin's soccer game. No defense. She tried as hard as she could but when you don't have much help, it is hard. I think it was 8-0 but I lost count.

Stopped at the store for bananas and lettace and fixed BLT'S. Your dad was up on the roof trying to fix the dish to no avail.

Now we are watching the movie, sharing popcorn with the puppies.

that's all that happened today.

New Roof Day

As you can tell, we are getting a new roof. Shen i was with you in Pokey, the roof leaked again, bad! Soooo, now we are getting a new roof. This was not suppose to happen until the end of the month, but they had a cancellation.

YESTERDAY:

Day with freshmen. It's nice seeing them not all dressed in black. There are some interesting characters out there and I'm sure my patience will be tested, but so far so good.

After school, I worked out for a little while, then Kristin did a little shopping.

We had a nice dinner, then did nothing. Your sister couldn't decide what to wear and was working on that.

TODAY:

Everyone was at school. The school is very crowded. The locker room is full is full except for 4th period. A couple of periods we used the junior section for the freshmen. the classes seemed ok. WE will see when they dress down next week.

This morning, Kristin got up early to do her hair. It was really cute. You could really see the layers. She wore a pair of shorts and and a cute top. I never saw her today, except the period she had PE. She is growing up.

This afternoon, I had to sit through an IEP meeting and get home to see what the roofers were doing. I had to climb over the fence by the motor home to get in. It must have looked funny seeing some old lady climbing over the fence.

I had to get home because your dad said that the puppies wouldn't come out of the garage. They are brave now.

Kristin is at practice, then going to a team dinner. Your dad is in a meeting and I'm doing this. I'm not sure what we are going to have for dinner. It depends on what time your dad gets home and what time I have to pick up Kristin.

Kristin has their first game tomorrow against West Albany. I will let you know how she does. They have been working on defense for the last two practices.

Scores:

Boy's soccer-Us 2, Tigard 1
Girl's soccer-Tigard 5, Us 0. Ouch.

oh yeah, Kraig Massee is my aide with Personal Fitness. That should be fun.
