Football Chronicles Part VIII

I got a little sidetracked this week on what Chuck called my 'New Kids High' and didn't get around to posting the latest installment of football. The game last week was in Terrel, TX - home of Jamie Foxx. Jamie needs to make a donation and fix up the football field - that place was hazardeous to my health. First we ate at some bbq place....they had really good banana pudding. I encouraged the Monkey Squad (Monkey Boy, RyRy, and Bertha) to climb for a photo:

The game itself was really one-sided. The Hawks won 55-0!!! Grady had an awesome game! We actually were close enough to the cheerleaders to hear/see them and Sachel did a great job as well. Only 2 more games left, unless they make it into the playoffs......then we continue.

Here They Are.....The Block

Wasn't my video fab? I LOVE it! I have to say that Mere is the greatest - she took a ton of pictures and got some really great ones which she shared with me. Just so you are aware......Before Justin, there was Jordan & Joey - that was one of my favorite homemade shirts of the night. It is so true, and I added the Joey part (once you stare into those beautiful blue eyes you will understand). Okay....on with the pictures.

So Danny comes out on the stage with this hooded jacket on, and I looked at Mere and said 'He's about to breakdance' and sure enough - he did. His breakdancing skills were what got him into the band originally - and man he sure still has them.

So you will know....Joey was wearing his smiley face jacket from the Hangin' Tough video (not the original one - I am sure it is a replica, Mere will tell you I possess a crazy amount of music video knowledge)

By the way, Joey is totally pointing to me in that picture above - not any of you crazy *itches......ME! ONLY ME.......I am not that delusional, really, I know he's just pointing. Last but not least (you thought I forgot didn't you?) Donnie doin' it Marky Mark style....

I want to thank my wonderful mother for watching my darling RyRy so I could attend the best concert ever! I appreciate it more than you know. I will share with you later some of the crazy things 'ladies' wore to the show - you would not even believe it. And to Mere.....Keep Hangin' Tough till the next show! To the NKOTB Haters (Shannon and Scott) I will kindly remind you that you have attended a NKOTB show - and I think I saw you dancing and having a good time (okay, not really, but I am telling everyone you did)- so SHUSH IT! Also, to the Hungry Man - no we were definately not the only two people standing up the whole time - check out my video - those women were crazy - they were throwing ugly bras and their shirts up onto that round platform - gross!

PS....RyRy likes Donnie & Jon the best. She also wanted to know what the heck breakdancing was...LOL! And, Donnie has the best bling according to her - she likes the bling!

The Block is Back......

The NKOTB concert Sunday night was AWESOME!!!! Better than ever. I think it is the best concert I have ever been to. Seriously!!! They put on a wonderful show - and the fact that Donnie pulled down his pants - well, that was icing on the cake so to speak! I want to share a little video I took, but I will be back later with lots of pics.

Greetings From Buttboy....

So we finally heard from deployed Buttboy last weekend. When I say we, I mean mom, and I just happened to be with her when he called - you know, the one weekend we actually convinced her to leave the house and dumb dog. It was great to get to talk to him - a little weird with the delay. Let's be honest - he wasn't really interested in talking to me - he just wanted to talk to his niece...whatever! (no one wants to talk to me anymore - not even my Jake Jake - he just whines and says 'I don't wanna talk to HERRR - I will remember this you red headed cutie.....and that is a threat mister!) So in my brief dialog I asked Buttboy if we could send him packages and he said yes, then I asked 'What do you need or want?' In true Buttboy fashion he responded with 'A 42 inch flat screen t.v!' Not gonna happen dreamer! I don't blame him for trying. I should do that......Mom...hello, are you hearing me? I need/want 2 pairs of wedges from Cato, a sweater, and a new laptop..........DID IT WORK? Are they on their way to me?

I knew I was robbed being the oldest.....I should have been the youngest, and a stinky boy! (just kidding mom - you are the greatest!)

Hangin' in Bossier....

So we went down to the Louisiana Boardwalk Saturday night and walked around and had dinner at Saltgrass Steakhouse.

Cheer Power Halloween Classic

Our first cheer competition of the season was Cheer Power Halloween Classic in Bossier City, LA. I have to put it out there, the Mini's (this is RyRy's team) looked HORRIBLE Friday night at practice. So I wasn't holding out much hope for a good show on Sunday. Here we are getting ready and exchanging Spirit Sister gifts.

They killed it! The routine was so great. All the tumbling & stunts were accomplished. The Mini's won 3rd place which is excellent. Rylee and Bri (her spirit sis) got to go up and grab the trophy!
