Zachary had a couple of great games this past week. Wednesday night the ULYFL Giants played against the ULYFL Bandits. The Giants won 20-6. It was a fantastic game and gave the boys a sense of “we CAN do this” which was needed after their first game loss to the LLFBL Rams. Saturday night the Giants played against the ULYFL Titans and won again, 8-0. The score would have been 20-0, but we had two touchdowns called back for some pretty stupid penalties. One was recalled for blocking from behind, a silly mistake. The second was recalled for holding, an even sillier mistake but it happens. The coaches were not too pleased about the penalties, but I think the boys were actually feeling worse about them.
Zachary on the move!

Zachary was moved to a different position in this game and had quite a few important tackles. He was hurt during one of them in the second quarter. (more…)

Well, it seems like forever since I have logged onto wordpress. Summer 2008 is coming to a close and we have had a busy one. We went to Canada this summer and to the beach a few times. The husband and I have a quick jaunt to Florida planned for the weekend of Oct. 31. One of my dearest friends from high school is getting married to a great guy. We plan on celebrating with them and leaving the kids home with my sister. After Christmas, we have another trip planned to Jamaica for the kids and us. We can’t wait. New Years in Jamaica. How cool is that? (more…)

Saturday, October 20, was Homecoming here in my little town. My oldest attended the pancake breakfast with her friends. Then she was off to join the Homecoming Parade. Since she is in marching band, she had to go a bit earlier than we did. As the oldest headed to the high school, we left to attend my youngest’s football game to watch her cheer. It was the last game before playoffs and although the team did not win, they do have at least 1 playoff game to look forward to. We were then off to the parade. For the rest of my weekend, keep on reading. (more…)

It’s about time for an update on the goings on around me. My son has had 2 football games so far. The first game found his team up against last year’s championship winner. There were a few mistakes, the boys never gave up and played hard, but they took a loss. The second game proved to have fewer mishaps, just as much heart, a touchdown, but still resulted in a loss. Now we have the 2 toughest games out of the way, so hopefully the season will turn around a bit. (more…)

Sometimes in life, you score a touch down. Sometimes you fumble or complete the pass for an extra yard or two. Lately, I have had a bit of it all. This is the latest going on with me.
My most recent touchdown was going back to work as a general manager for Papa Johns. I am extremely busy with work and coaching, family and life. I am constantly “on the go”, but I am totally loving it! The staff members that were at PJs when I took over are pretty cool and so far my new hires are working out.
The family is adjusting to the changes day by day. We have had a few shaky passes over the last couple of weeks, but we are completing the passes. Compromise, balance and working together are the key. (more…)

It all began in the Spring of 2004. My oldest daughter came home from school one day and said that she wanted to play an instrument in the school band. I instantly thought of myself at that age and when I told my dad that I wanted to play the alto saxophone. He obliged me, having played in the band in school, too. I, though, did not stick with it and soon gave it up. (more…)
