ArtiCatz Volleyball Tournament

Our volleyball girls went to a tournament in Marquette this past weekend and did a great job. They came in second! This picture is their "silly" picture! The coach was such a good sport.

This is their #1 pose. They will always be number one to their fans!!

What a great group of girls. They were all smiles even tho they didn't take first.

UPHA Banquet

A couple Saturdays ago, we went to our Grandson's horse banquet. It was the normal banquet stuff. Food, raffles and awards. The food was okay...it was a buffet. I usually love buffets because I can pick and choose and if there is something you really don't like then you just go on and choose something else.

This first picture is Nathan posing with his plaque. What a cutie!

This is Nathan showing me his award! He was really excited!

He was so good at the banquet. He sat when they were speaking and for this 4 year old boy that was an accomplishment. Not that he's a wild kid by any means but he's 4 and it's hard to hold their attention for long periods.

Nathan receiving his award from Lisa Anderson, UPHA President. Very nice lady!

MIA Again!

Well, I have been MIA again! Sorry! I haven't really been that busy. It just seems like my every day normal stuff would be boring to share with you.
I have been getting to all my daughter's volleyball games. We have a game on Tuesday and another game on Thursday which is Parent's Night. I am such a proud Mom.
Tonight our figure skating season starts. I am a board member and we have been busy getting things together so we have a great year! It's just too bad some parents don't volunteer and realize that it helps their kids when their parents are involved. My daughter used to hate it but now she's really glad her Mom is around and helpful to her and her friends. Besides, if I don't like something I better not complain if I didn't help!
I'll be spending a little time with my grandson tonight before he has to leave. He is going on a big trip to Las Vegas with his other grandpa. They are going to watch the PBR Championships. Horse/bull riding. Sounds like fun. He says he doesn't want to go but once he's there he'll have a great time. Hopefully they'll let him call us a few times while he's there.
I hosted our card club last week. It is so much fun to get together with these ladies. I have met two new ladies and enjoy their company. I love meeting new people that share my love for paper crafting. Anyway, we made two cards. One was a Christmas card and one was a fall card with a little bookmark inside.
On Saturday I went to a birthday party/jam session with my sister. Both our hubbies were out of town so it seemed like a safe place to be. I really didn't expect to dance but her brother-in-law (the birthday boy) got me. Whew! I haven't polka-ed in ages! It was okay and he was very understanding when at first I was awkward. I lingered at the food table or hid behind my sister so no one else would ask me to dance!
So this week I will decorate for Halloween a bit. I have a craft project I want to at least get started. We'll see how far I get.
