Matthew's in the 6th Grade Band!


Today was a big day for Matthew! He got his instrument...The Trumpet! He was super excited and could not stop smiling! Dad is beaming as well...he played Trumpet in Middle and High School! It's so cute...he has a little music stand...I think he sat there for at least 2 hours blowing away on his horn..LOL! I'm glad he takes after his daddy though...no musical talent in me I'm afraid!

We got an awesome deal on it! Ron was talking to a guy at work last week and mentioned that Matthew had joined the Middle School Band and was assigned the Trumpet! The guy said his son was in the High School Band and was upgrading his Trumpet. He was more than happy to sell it to us! He had paid $300 for it three years ago and offered to sell it to us for $125...YAY! When I went to the school to show it to the band teacher "Mr. Wommach" he said we got a steal. For a used one it was $500 through the company the school uses...you go on a payment plan if you don't have the money...it's like $30 bucks a month. I was very happy and so was Matthew! So, now the loft has become the music room...because Mom's ears are old and worn out...LOL!

Brighton High School Football

Brighton High School Cardinals
Went to our home opener game tonight night! BHS vs Frayser! We kicked their butts....42-14! I was very nervous about going because, we had told Matthew last year "when you start middle school we will let you walk around the game with some friends!" Now,I'm scared! I trust him to an extent...but he is a boy! Will he always do the right thing...NO! He has moments were he has lapses in judgement...or as I like to call them "stupid boy tricks!" But, he did awesome! He was able to walk around with his friend Zach. He had a great time. Mollie was with her friends and enjoying the game and all the boy's...LOL!! My babies are so grown up..:o( Before I know it they will be out of our home and doing their own thing. I'm so proud of both of them...I love my kids and wish them all the happiness in the world!


Ready to walk the game.

Waiting for the band and his buddy!
Enjoying the game!

Here they are the Brighton Cardinals!

Mamma Mia Rocked!


Saw Mamma Mia yesterday with Mollie! It was AMAZING! I loved it...Mollie liked it but was embarrassed by my singing..LOL! I can't help it, everyone knows I'm a huge ABBA fan......I still think I'm the Dancing Queen...winkwink! The whole cast was awesome....they could really sing! Can't wait to own this one on DVD...I love musicals! Go see it with your girlfriends......there were no men in the theater...lol! Ron was relieved when I took Mollie instead of him...heehee!

Elvis Week in Memphis

What can you say about Elvis! He was one of a kind! I remember watching him on TV and thinking....he's so cute! My grandmother (aka..granny) would play his gospel albums over and over! I was obsessed by "Burning Love"...would shake my booty all over the farm, with my handheld AM radio. I was so cool with my one ear phone for it! Thanks to my PawPaw who didn't want to hear my hippy music.....lol! It did not save him from my singing though...YIKES!
So, it's Elvis week here and people still go crazy for him. All kinds of events at Graceland! Movies being show at night, Elvis Expo, Candlelight Vigil, and live performances! It's weird to see so many people dressed like Elvis! I wonder....what if he had lived longer....would it still be this mayhem surrounding him.......YES! Elvis will always be one of a kind!
Always a sucker for a uniform! GI Elvis was smoke'in!
His sideburns were to much for me but, we still loved him! Plus, I have a weakness for Bell Bottoms...LOL! I had the cutest pair...even had a huge flower embroider on the back pocket...heehee!
Want to see more of Elvis.....here ya go! http://www.elvis.com/
