I met the boys at my shop at 7:45 for a costume session. It was "Sexy Savage" day and they were being auctioned. So we gathered the feathers, poured the paint and slicked the hair. It took us 2 hours to create the savages and I had to push my clients back 1 1/2 hours. It was worth every second. I am lucky that my son and his friends like to hang around me. They made the most money out of all the savages.

They liked their costumes so much they wore it to the powderpuff game where the srs. lost in the last 2 secs. of the game (sorry Brit.) Curtis commentated and he was the best sports announcer ever.
8th grade volleyball is going good. They have only lost 3 games, but they went to 3 matches each time. (Sorry I can never get good gym pictures.) McKenna played spring volleyball and enjoyed it so much, cheerleading went out the window. She has a wicked serve and for her 1st year is doing really good (I can brag-I am her mom)
Our football team has been struggling the last year with 0 wins and only one so far this year. It is tough to lose all the time but we try and keep the spirit up with a busy week of homecoming. It started off with powderbuff. They had enough jrs. & srs. to split into two courts and Colton's team won all their matches. He even had a little bit of a jump serve (it only hit the net a couple of times.) I can't believe he is a senior still.
Senior boys of 2009!!!
(Robin, sure could use some hints on how to get good pictures in the gym. Somebody told me to change shutter speed but I don't know how.)
The guys hard at work (Thayne said he is absolutely done tearing down the brick)
Colton hard(ly) working
Sorry I have been so lame at journaling lately, but we are extremly busy and dwelling in a mess. We have decided to add on and have completely gutted (almost) our entire living area. More pictures and details forthcoming but we are very excited to have it completed. We have great construction workers who are very patient with us.
I live in Gooding with my husband and 2 kids. My son< Colton, is a senior and my daughter,McKenna,just started 8th grade. I own my own beauty shop and my husband is a commodities broker. We have been married for 18 years and enjoying life fully.
