Eight years ago my son Rooster was born. He came into this words quick and easy. I remember as if it was yesterday. July 31, 2002 5:30 a.m. in the morning I started feeling sharp pains. Called my mom because hubby was already at work and I thought it was going to be a while before anything happened. So, as soon as my mom arrived I called hubby and told him no big deal hold on till I call him back to start home. At around 9:15 - 9:30 a.m. the pain was getting very unbearable called hubby told him we were heading to the hospital to meet us there. Got checked in and to the room undressed layed down on the table and boom water broke. To much time had passed for them to give me drugs. Hubby arrived and not but minutes later Rooster was out. Rooster born 7-31-02/10:38 a.m./9 lb 1 oz./21 inches. Love you son.

Rooster's Pre-Birthday celebration

Rooster got to race by himself. They let him go round and round for a long time because no one was in line to ride.

July 30, 2010 Today we took Rooster for his Pre-Birthday celebration to Banana's for som fun in the sun. Too bad his friend couldn't make it. Had a great time because there wasn't many people there and we didn't have to stand in any lines. I didn't take many photo's well because mom was having fun too.

Smoker/BBQ

July 25, 2010

Hubby and Rooster have been working hard (mainly hubby) all weekend and the smoker/BBQ is almost finish (Oakey rigging or Gorilla Welding as my dad would say). Just need a little bit of metal to attach the two pieces together for the smoker and some paint. Not to bad for just time invested and two wheels.

Dad is making a smoker from metal we had laying around the house and wanted Rooster to help him. He did good with help from dad.

Sweetie Pie playing in the water

July 19, 2010

Sweetie Pie wanted to play in the pool and dad told her to take off her pants. Thank GOD he didn't tell her to take off her shirt too. ha ha

Sweetie Pie LOVES soccer

July 20, 2010

Sweetie Pie has been playing soccer for a few weeks now and most of all she loves it. She is a quick runner when they have to run across the field she is usually the first one to the other side. So proud of her and going to keep her up with sports as long as she wants to play.

July 16 thru 18, 2010

This weekend we went camping for the first time in over 5 years sleeping in a TENT. Our trailer is still for sale at a trailer place here in Rifle. It was Sweetie Pie's first time sleeping in a tent. Our friends came up on Saturday and went for our weekly ride to scout for deer and elk for bow season in a few months. We had a great time except for the biting flies and still being hot.

Sweetie Pie's last t-ball game

July 12, 2010

Tonight was Sweetie Pies last t-ball game. She did great as usual. Since the original coach played a no show for all the games. Many thanks to hubby and another dad for stepping up to the plate and taking over. I think he might even sign up for coaching next year. He really enjoyed it as much as the kids. I even caught a smile out of him every now and then.
