Busy Saturday

This past weekend was a busy one for us, Friday night after practice we had a wedding to go to.  A friend of ours that we play Sand Volleyball with in the summers.  She was suppose to get married in August but found out Christmas that she was expecting.  She wanted to fit into a wedding dress at her wedding and since she would be 36 weeks pregnant they decided to move it up and planned it in 10 days.  She got everything she had for her August date, photographer, cake, reception, church, caterer, everything but her dress but then got one that was very similar to the one she wanted!  That is awesome and meant to be!  The boys enjoyed running around and dancing with mommy. 

Saturday was the big Briar Cliff vs. Morningside Basketball game and then my good friend Heather was getting inducted to the Hall of Fame.  We played basketball together at Briar Cliff for three years.  It was a busy day and I couldn't find a sitter for my game, so who came to the rescue...Janet!  Thank goodness they are only an hour 20 min. away that she just jumped in the car on Saturday got here by 11 and left Sunday before weather got bad.  Jared was in charge of all the Hall of Fame stuff and they had a luncheon at noon so he needed to be to work early and I had shoot around and then game.  Janet stayed with boys and we ran in and out and then after they got up from nap(a three hour nap, they must have danced too hard the night before:)) she brought them up to the game.  I wanted my friends that were back for Heather's induction to be able to see them.  After the game and chatting we went back home got boys settled and then off Jared and I went to celebrate Heather's induction!  We went down to a bar with some of Heather's friends, from Sgt. Bluff, college and high school.  We had some pizza, enjoyed catching up with college friends, and being out!  Jared and I don't go out much especially during my season because I feel I am gone all the time and boys are already with a sitter a lot.  But we had a great time.  We were going to leave and then notice the Notre Dame vs. Louisville game was in double overtime and wanted to to watch that.  Then it went into another overtime and another and another five overtimes later we left the bar...great game!  We had a good night with great friends!  Oh for you wondering we beat Briar Cliff which puts us number one in the conference with two games left. Our conference is the toughest conference in the Nation so this is a big accomplishment thus far and hope we can finish the next two games with wins.  Our conference has won the National Championship 11 times out of the last 12 years...pretty amazing huh?  We hope to have another one do it this year and hopefully it be us! 

Sunday was church out to lunch with Janet to thank her for helping us out and then saying good bye to Janet and nap time...for all!  Well, expect Jared he had homework to do.   Jared is getting his Master's, he has been super busy with that the past year and half.  He is taking two classes this semester on top of his busy basketball season!  I don't know how he does it but he does a great job.  It is really hard on me some days though because on his days off like Sunday instead of doing things around the house or hanging with the boys and I he has to do homework:(.  It stinks but hopefully will be worth it someday. 

Past Weekend...

This past weekend my parents came to visit which is always a good time.  Friday on their way here they went on a little detour to Salon (a casino, 20 min. south of Sioux City).  Then came to our house about 5:30 because I had practice and Jared had to work til 5 and I didn't get done until about 6:30.  We then went out to dinner to Hungry's, one of my dad's favorite places to eat ( a little steak place in Dakota City, NE).   After that we went home to get the boys down and dad asked mom if he could take his son-in-law to the boat(the casino in Sioux City).  If you haven't figured out yet my parents especially my dad loves to gamble:)!!  Mom didn't care so off they went, mom and I watched TV for awhile and then went to bed because I was tired, mom slept with me, to give dad a good nights sleep.  She has been getting up during the night (a couple-many times) so thought I would give him a break.  She did pretty good but on the other hand I did not, I was worried about her so I was up A LOT but that's ok.  She only got up once because her neck was really bothering her (probably slept on it wrong).  Well, the next morning the boys got up and we all got ready for the day!  Dad keep teasing me you want triplets(mom), because I usually am helping the boys and mom get dressed and ready for the day.  Jared had to go to the wrestling meet and dad went to a gun show.  I had a game so I left for a shoot around then came back ate lunch and then mom, dad, and I went back to the game and Jared stayed with boys while they napped.  After game we hurried home to get Jared and boys to make 4:30 church and then out to eat at Applebee's.  It is usually just pretty laid back with going out to eat with the parents, hanging out, talking and watching TV.  Sunday dad went back to the gun show for a little bit while I cleaned and mom played with the boys.  Not a whole lot of exciting things for our weekend but a fun one and much needed!  I love when my parents come visit, since during season(the winter months) I usually don't get home much. 
On a side note, they also brought our Christmas gifts and boys birthday gifts and they were all awesome!  The boys love new things and they got tractors with wagons and animals!  They were in heaven.  They absolutely love animals, tractors, trucks, anything boy! 
Sunday was Super Bowl Sunday so I had JV practice at 12:30 so the ladies could watch it and if Jared wanted to go somewhere we could.  Well, we ended up going over to a friends that he works with and watched the game until about the 3rd quarter.  The boys were loving having food sitting on a table so they could eat whenever and whatever but they were making a mess and I felt bad.  My boys are great eaters and our friends committed on how good of eaters they were.  We are lucky they are not picky but they are messy but thats ok, they are boys right.  They also spilled water, pop, and beer so that was not good but our friends said the carpet was old and no big deal I hope they meant it because I felt bad.  It was a boring game until the lights went out and then if became a good game!  Baltimore held off San Fransico 34-31.  I didn't get a chance to watch the game right making sure the boys were not ruining their house.  They had tons of toys for them tho so that was great!  We had a good time, very low key which was nice.
