My junior cheerleader...and my soapbox

Well here she is...my junior cheerleader. Football is finally over!!!

Thank goodness. I don't think I am going to do that again. It is too hard with school and work. And lets just say that the Athletic Director and I have a HUGE personality conflict. She reminds me of a control freak and I wonder what the heck she is even doing in education because she acts like she hates everyone!!! Oh well I've been told that if you don't piss someone off everyday that you aren't doing your job. She actually acts like my ex husband used too and that is freaking SCARY. I am too old to put up with peoples crap. Can you tell I am having a very bad Monday? Oh well I feel a little bit better now that I have vented.

Joseph or Josephina?

Here is a picture of Joseph and some of his buddies at the pep rally we had for our last football game last Friday. The cheerleaders put make up on the football players and made them model in front of the student body with pom poms. The teachers judged them and Joseph or Josephina as he is now known won by a landslide. The grandprize....a king size Reeses. Wait til you see his Halloween costume!

Happy 4th Birthday Halle Victoria

Halle turned 4 on the 18th. She is such a little character with BIG attitude. She had Diego cupcakes and got Diego stuff for her birthday! She wants me to redo her room in the Diego theme. I did it in Tinkerbell this summer when she was in Idaho only for her to come home and want it Diego! Oh well! She is a special little girl and I am very lucky to be her mother. We love you Halle.

Yes It Gets Cold in the Desert...and other general happenings of Beatty

Ok, I haven't posted anything since the wedding pictures. But I think that my life is sometimes so boring that who really wants to know. But since I don't get to talk to all of you everyday I guess it may be interesting to you. This weekend a major cold front moved into southern Nevada. Last week I was still running my central air this week it is the heater. The temperature dropped from 90 to high 50's getting into the low 30's at night.

Friday was our homecoming game...we lost by a touchdown. The boys have 2 more games, one in Alamo this Saturday and our final home game on the 25th. I am glad because Paul and I have sacrificed every single Saturday for the last two months for these kids!! I know, it is for my son too. That is one of the reasons that I agreed to be cheerleading advisor again because I would get to spend time with my son. On top of all this I have been working very steady and going to school. I am winding down my first term at WGU. Being the end of the term I am starting to stress (feeling guilty for blogging and not doing my preassesment).

Well enough about the adults boring life and onto the kids. Ben and Jacob are doing really well. They are both getting very good grades and they are the waterboys for the team. They are growing up so fast. Halle is Miss Attitude (don't feel bad Heidi) and will be turning 4 on Saturday. Joseph is doing really good. He is adjusting quite well to Beatty life. He is getting good grades, staying somewhat out of trouble, and playing football. I know he is gonna die if I tell you all this but he had a girlfriend for a whole week!!! He asked out one of my cheerleaders and they "went out" for a whole week. She broke up with him because she said her dad didn't want her to have a boyfriend. He said it was all good cuz he was gonna break up with her anyway because there was no "spark" left. Ok, so how the heck does he know what a spark is when all they see each other is at school. He was allowed to talk to her on the phone for an hour until he got grounded for catching attitude with me. He isn't too broken up about it he says it is just another "phase." Aye Aye Aye!!!
