At bedtime Brie'el says to me,"Smell my bangs"
I am confused. Not sure what to say I respond "What do I smell?"
"Brenlie Mom....My bangs smell like Brenlie. I used her shampoo."
This one is about Kyler.
Kyler comes downstairs dressed for school. Usually I pick out his outfit. Today he has on long pants and a black guitar hero shirt. I am thinking he is going to be hot. I say nothing. Then he yells "I forgot my socks" Then he runs up and grabs these long socks!!! If you know Kyler well enough you would know he is particular about how tight his socks are. They also can not bunch at the toe. Then he does this guitar hero move and says "Hey mom.... do these socks go with my outfit?"
Only Kyler would worry about his white hanes socks matching his outfit!!!!!
This is Kelsey... "MOM I want that movie. you know Sleeping Booty"
I did not know Aurora had a booty!!!!

Shadow your student day
I went to DRJHS yesterday with Kilean. Kilean wanted me to go this year. Not sure if it was out of guilt from last year. Here's how last year went...
Jodi: Looking at her calendar...."Kilean when is shadow your student day?"
Kilean: Muttering under her breath "Last week"
Jodi: (I already figured out I missed it)"So you did not want me to go?"
Kilean : "I did not think it was a big deal"
Jodi: "To you or me?"
Kilean: (She has now figured out she stepped in it)"Mom... I am sorry. I thought it would be too much for you." (with Brenlie in all)
I never said any more about it. I was clearly bummed about it. I love to do those things.
So this year she made it clear she wanted me to go!!!
I have to say I do not miss going to junior high. My heart bleeds to all the unnoticed children at this school. I wonder what life is like for them. One girl never included themselves in any activity. They were avoided by the kids and the staff. They wanted to be avoided. (Or do they?)
I saw this on one of the walls in the band room.
Being popular isn't always right.
Being right isn't always popular.
Amen to that. I can remember in school wanting to be included. My fear was standing by myself, sitting alone at lunch, or not having anyone around. I moved twice in junior high-high school and "girls" in particular don't accept the new kid very well. It took a lot of time for me to find my niche.
It's funny... when you are in school you meet people because of circumstance. You attend the same school so your lives cross. When you graduate life moves on. It is no longer convenient. You make a choice to continue a friendship. Or not to continue the friendship.
But the kind of person you end up to be is influenced by your high school friends.
That is why my philosophy is to include everyone all of the time.
My only hope is that I have raised my kids to be kind and considerate. To be inclusive. If they are not....well lets just say "They will answer to the BIG UGLY!!!"

Soccer soccer soccer
Kyler had his 1st soccer game today.(He was sick last weekend and missed the game) We played a team that let's just say might be "older than most of our team" They were very good and 1st to the ball. The nice part is we really did not care!!!
Kyler had a blast. He scored the only goal. It was a whole bunch to 1. Great job Kyler!!!
We might have to buy our own shorts.... Kyler spent most of the time pulling up his pants.
Bryce's team did well also. He was in the goal and did not let one past him. The score was 6-1. Good job Shamrocks!!!!
Bryce did referee training this month and refereed his first game today. He left too early for me to get his picture(sad face), but I will get one next time. I am proud of him. He loves being on the field. He met us at Kyler's game and one of the parents mentioned they were almost out of cold water. Bryce proudly says "I will go to the ref tent and fill it if you want" Proud mom here. That's when you know you have done something right:)
I am leaving for Tuscon in just a little bit. Brie'el has a tournament there. I am going for the 2nd game. They won their first one 8-0. Luckily my Mom and Dad have a house in Tuscon so we have a place to stay!!!(Thank you) I was hoping the weather would be cooler there......but I was told it is not!!!!

Pizza dough
I love this.....Basha's will sell you pizza dough. It is very good. With so many in our family, we seldom agree in our pizza toppings. I can not remember the last time I ate a piece of pizza with exactly what I wanted on it. Not any more....
I made 4 pizzas yesterday. They charge 1.99 a piece. I divided it in half and made two.
We were all happy! I think I may be the last one to know about this wonderful deal...... but if I am not I want you all to know about it:)

Me too!!!!
Kelsey wants to learn and be big so bad. She wants to copy everything we write down. She also wants to know how to spell your name,write your birthday, your favorite color...... on and on and on. I finally had to tell her to copy what she sees. I love her willingness to learn, but I am not in the mood to spell everything we see or do.
Today Brie'el was doing her homework. Right next to her was Kelsey. She was copying her work. Brie'el was drawing a picture of molecules. So was Kelsey.!!!!
She sat down next to Kilean and drew a picture of the both of them. It would be great if we finally had an artistic kid in the family. I most certainly am not!!!
On a side note.... Keigan got the job at Subway!!!!He will work at the one on Ellsworth. We are excited for him to start earning his own money!!!! Good Job Keigan!!!!

I'm so pretty!!!
Every time I get Kelsey and Brenlie out of the shower, I put lotion on them. Brenlie gets baby lotion(my Favorite) and Kelsey goes between baby lotion and something from Bath and Body Works.
Kyler has to "smell good" also. Frank "questions" why Kyler needs baby lotion. I know he is now in the 1st grade, so we have changed things up for him. He gets sprayed with Tag.
Today out of the shower I did my routine spray and he got dressed. This time he took a deep breath and says, "Yum!! I smell so good. I almost smell like a man!!!"
Too cute I say!!!!
