Gregg is going to post the video later tonight.  I think.

Here are some pics from the last week or so.

Here are some Easter pics.  This is the egg hunt from school.

This is the Easter at the Sippel’s and the egg confetti fight.  I think Sarah declared me the winner.

These pics are of Practice(blue sky) and the game.

Today was our first football game.  We started at 8:15 this morning.  It was a bit of a chilly morning.  It rained last night and is overcast.  There is a definite wet chill in the air.  Our game started at nine and was worth the wait.  The kids were hilarious.  Thank goodness we have some kids on our team that played last year and knew what they were doing.  I have some great tape of Noah trying to line up to be center and another one where he was trying to take a flag off an oponent that didn’t have the ball.  He didn’t know why I was yelling grab the flag and the kid was telling him to leave him alone.  He never really got over that play.  He didn’t want to go back out on the field after that crying that no one will let him get a flag.  We’re going to have to practice grabbing flags and how about running in the right direction when you get the ball.  It was a great first game for all.  We won!

I will have some cute video to put on once Gregg loads it to you tube.

Yesterday I subbed in my first elementary school.  I only taught in an elementary school maybe 4 times back in 91.  I wanted to experince what Noah will be going through in the fall.  I had a great time.  One thing I knew was that they have a lot of prep and not much time to do it.  I can only imagine they are at school all day doing prep.  I definitely wil go back to elementary to sub.

We heard about our Permit on Thursday night.  They need us to do a few things and I think we will be closing the deal by mid next week and then starts the construction.  Woo Hoo!!!!!

More on everything later……………………………

Having celiac in Texas sucks.  They do not have all the stuff we had in Michigan.  In Philly I had two stores, Giant and Wegmans that I could find a great selection of GF foods.  Here there is nothing.  I have to drive down to Whole Foods.  The selection at my HEB is bad.  They used to have some good stuff but don’t anymore.  I’m going old school and ordering stuff online again.

Good News/Bad News……………..Taco Bueno doesn’t have a GF menu……..yet the good news is that in talking to the owner he told me that they are building a Whole Foods in Cedar Park area.  That is closer than downtown!  woohoo!!!!

OK some Lost speculation.  I have to be fast cuz I have to get the kids.

I meant to watch the episode with Jin and Sun again.  Seeing Michael and Walt on the outside world had me thinking.  Perhaps even though they say Oceanic 6 some others may me back but not with their families.  They don’t count Walt as an oceanic six or even Ben.  Michael go to go home to his mom but couldn’t talk about anything.  That still would have been risky and I am surprised Ben trusted a hot head like Michael.  I was thinking perhaps the Jin flash was the future like 2012.  That is a bit of a jump though.  However 2000 was the year of the dragon and wasn’t Jin a poor fisherman’s son.  What would he have been doing courting a business client in 2000?  He said he wasn’t married.  Remember he got a job as a door bellman at Sun’s dad’s office.  Then her dad hired him to be a hitman.  That is what got me thinking about Jin and the future.  We already know there is a time Rift.  Desmond would be gone from his “body” for a longer time than when he was in the future.  I think it was something like 5 minutes in the future was 40 minutes or so he was in a dazed state.  So it’s not like it couldn’t have been a future flash.  Hurley had asked if anyone had showed up for the birth and such and Sun said no and he said good.  That had me wondering.  Why was that good unless he meant some of the “other oceanic” people.  You know wanting to keep them hidden and all.  And when Sun said she missed Jin it seemed like she missed him not Missed him.  ya know what I mean?

What the hell is up with Ben?  I am even more determined that they are some rogue government body.  That would only make sense and how they can get off and on the island and have dossiers of everyone.  Don’t ya love that the big other guy is gay.  LOL  I’m guessing and that is the point isn’t it that Mr. Whitmore is the bad guy.  I mean Ben hasn’t tried to make money off the island and its healing powers.  However, what was up with him setting up his daughter.  I knew he was going to kill the guy.  They showed him put his arm around her and Ben cringe.  But poor Danielle.  Why kill her.  She has been on the island forever.  I don’t think she would have ever left but come on.  Not sure what the plan is with that but again precision shooting only leads me back to rogue govt. agency.

Locke is usually smarter than listening to Ben.  I don’t know what is going on with him.  I wish he would get his mojo back but I am afraid he won’t because of the comment that Hurley made to Jack when they got back to the mainland.  “I’m sorry I listened to Locke.”  Locke was one of my favorites.

Speaking of being smarter.  What is the deal with Sayeed?  Yes Michael betrayed them but he came back to try to make a mends.  I would think you would want all the allies you could get on that boat.  I would trust none of them yet keep them all close.  Don’t know what he was thinking but he may have traded away a good source of info.

Well I fogto what else I was going to write and I have to get the boys.  If I remember(3 am) I will write more or add it to this weeks episode.

We had a nice Easter here on the path.  We all went to Carol’s house for a casual brunch.  The Sippel boys have taught me a new game, Blokus.  Fun game but I need to play more.  We also had a nice Easter egg fight in the street.  Love those confetti eggs.

We canceled our trip to Houston this weekend.  We were going to see the Tigers play but Noah bean has his first flag football game.  Woo hoo

I don’t know what made me think of this but last week I was thinking about some great music that I used to listen to.  I would jam out.  Then I realized that was the 90’s.  I went on amazon and found it super cheap.  Gregg is too funny.  Yes I have a zune but sometimes I just want the actual CD.  He doesn’t understand that.  Guess I won’t let go.  Anyway I was thinking of Afghan Whigs

God I loved this song

Dinosaur Junior  Ugh I loved to jump around to this song and freak out.  What a great beat.  This was a great dance song(by my standards).  I dated a drummer once and my cousin is a drummer they love these kind of songs.

Now I loved this guy so much, Mark Curry.  Most might remember him from Sorry About the Weather.  THat was his big top ten song.  This video is fromt he second album I have.  It is a great song.  I don’t think the video is complete but there isn’t much on him.  I saw him once in Ann Arbor and once in Detroit.  Boy did he look like he had a lot of fun in those two years.  He was absolutely fabulous live.  This video has that Kiefer Sutherland guy in it.

OK so this song is from the first album I have.  Not bad on the eyes.

I will have more to write later today.  There is so much to talk about and I have more pics.  Plus I have a big write up on Lost if you are interested.  I have been thinking about some theories the last few nights.

Here is Noah egg hunting at Stepping Stone school.  AT the end you can see Noah posing for a picture for me.

This is Coopers egg grab…

Flag football.  OMG the kids were so cute.  Noah is playing flag football this season and Gregg is co-coaching.  It is too cute.  Noah is on a team with two other boys from the path, Curly Colin and Rippin Riley.  They were so cute.  Colin played last year so he is a veteran 4/5 year old team member.  Noah and Riley are learning the ropes.  The running backward proved trouble for many!  Watching the kids play defense was down right hilarious.  WE had some yummy hors derves and the kids munched on some fruit when they were done.  Our first game is a week from Saturday.  As Gregg says we hope that they are at least all running in the same direction.

OK I am going to start this by saying if you are not a parent you may not get what I am about to write.  You may also think I have lsot my mind.  For those of us who have spawned, read on.  I’m starting to get my sad “baby growing up” feeling.  This morning Cooper came down around 7 am(the usual).  This is about the time that I get my breakfast and vitamins on a platter and bring it to my bed to eat in bed while I watch the news(GMA).  He climbed up and decided to he wanted to eat some of my Fruitty Pebbles.  We sat there together sharing a bowl.  His cute baby soft morning skin is so sweet and especially soft.  I leaned over and kissed his pebble chewing cheek.  When all of a sudden it hit me.  He is going to lose those soft chubby cheeks soon.  Noah did.  Oh MY!  There is no better feeling than placing a big fat kiss and feeling your lips sink into that cute baby fat.  After breakfast I continued to squeeze and kiss him(thank god he lets me) until I finally had to get up and blow dry my hair(oh and get the fruitty pebbles off my pants.).  When I was at work I thought about him and how much I wanted to squeeze him and couldn’t believe how much he is growing.  Today at Noah’s football practice I watched Cooper have a conversation with another 3 year old.  They just talked back and forth like they knew what they were saying to each other.  As far as I know they did, I didn’t interfere.  It just reconfirmed that he is getting to be a big boy.  Finally tonight he was in his PJ’s and going back up to bed(AGAIN)  and I watched him waddle away.  I thought about how much I loved him and if he would remember just how much I loved him.  Would he remember when he was 5 starting school?  Would he remember when he is 13 and thinks mom is a dork?  Would he remember when he is in high school and mom is warning him to be careful?  Would he remember when he goes off to college and makes a life for himself?  I know that he will not TRULY know until he has a child of his own.  I will be there and I will share just as much love if not more for that little peanut.  My boys are the best gift I never knew I needed!

PS.  I don’t want to be a grandma for at least another 20 years!  PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhh the first day of spring.  It has felt like spring for a while now but I guess at least now it is officially spring.

The boys had another egg hunt.  Today their school had an egg hunt.  I only made it in time to watch Noah scurry for eggs but fun was had by all.  My kids are going to think there are egg hunts every other day.

We also enjoyed lunch at Pluckers watching some NCAA Tournament ball.  That place filled up!  I’m not really big into college bball but it is always fun to watch a team come from behind to win.

I love having a long lunch.  I know some countries break for a long lunch/dinner early in the day.  It always makes me feel so refreshed to come home and see my kids and enjoy a meal.  I go back to work feeling re-energized.  Now off I go!!

Congrats to Noah for passing his Karate test.  He is now a yellow belt.  We knew you could do it little man!!!!

The Detroit Free Press wrote an article about ten reasonably priced things to do with the kids over Easter/spring break.  Jungle Java was listed!!!!!!!

We will have a small write up in the newspaper here in Round Rock in April.
