Not Everyone's Mama

Before I get to the pictures of Woodstock and his best friend, I have to show you this video.  I was on the phone with Pato last night, Christiano decided he wanted to talk.  He took the phone and started saying Boom Boom Pow.  Boom Boom Pow.  I had to get it on video.  He had to be coaxed to say it again, but once he started going, there was no stopping him. Every time he watched the video he’d repeat it.  (This was recorded on my cell phone, for some reason his the sound isn’t lining up with the video, but you get the point.)

Jordan and I were cracking up!

Now for some pictures.  I’ve told you about the vampire bird who is supposed to be a lovebird with everyone but Katiana.  She can carry that bird around upside down and he doesn’t care.  I don’t get it.  I mean, I do get it.  Sometimes a bird picks an owner, and Woodstock picked Katiana.  They are the bestest of friends, except for when he doesn’t want to go back in the cage.  Does he bite her neck like he does mine?  No, he just plays you can’t catch me with her.

She has star student coming up and she wanted some pictures with Woodstock, so here they are.

Can you not tell they are bestest buds?

She decided after that that it wouldn’t be fair to have pictures with Woodstock and not Twinkle.  Twinkle loves Kat (and everyone else in the family) but Twinkle loves to fly more.  Kat has to hold her to get her to stay, unlike Mr Woodstock above who will perch on her for an hour.

Aren’t they cute together?

Twinkle was ready to go here.  One snap of the picture and she was off doing laps around the place.  She cracks me up.

Here’s a few more pics we snapped with my cell phone yesterday.

I am not sure what is up with Christiano here, but oh well.

(Look, a good paintshop pro script is almost as good as a good acne face wash! Kidding, I don’t run scripts on my cell phone pics often.)

Sung to the tune of me and my shadow – me and my biiiiiiiiirdie! Who was looking for my wedding ring.

Leecy and me.

I think I have a few more stashed away.

Pato and Nano

Jordan

Those were at Kat’s game on Saturday.  Every time I took a picture of Kat, she managed to turn her back to me.

Last thing, promise!  I have to tell you about Jordan’s soccer game yesterday, which was so exciting, I forgot to get my camera out to take pictures (and because Nano was all over the place).

We played what was in my time, our town’s biggest rival.  Jordan played fullback (defender) first half.  When they put Jordan in at half as goalie, we were behind 4 – 1.  Jordan now has 3 games in a row where he has not been scored on.  It was awesome!  Our forwards picked up the pace the last bit of the game and we pulled ahead 5 – 4.  A few minutes left in the game, and one of the boys on the other team is headed towards our goal.  He was determined.  You could see it in his face.

He got past our defenders and it was just Jordan and him.  If this linebacker of an 11 year old (he was taller than me – ok, I’m only 5’4”, that’s not saying much, but he was a lot taller than Jordan and built like a brick poop house – yep we keep it clean here) got by Jordan the game would be tied.  I could see Jordan’s face as this kid is barreling towards him and it was full of “what should I do?”.

I thought this kid would take the shot farther out like most of the kids do, but he just kept coming.  Jordan came out of the goal a bit to get in position, the kid kept coming.  At about 5 feet from the goal Jordan and him were chest to chest.  I was not sure what was going to happen, they were to close to the goal and he was to close to Jordan for Jordan to maneuver well.  This kid swung his foot back and Jordan dropped on the ball, got both hands on it.  SAVED!  Then he got kicked in the knee full force because the kid didn’t have time to stop his momentum.

My heart stopped when I saw Jordan drop.  All I could see in my head was this kid kicking Jordan in the head.  When Jordan got his hands on the ball, you should have heard the crowd.  The opposing side let out groans of disgust, there was no where they were going to win now, and our side went nuts yelling Jordan!!!!!!

The best part?  That linebacker of a kid?  His name is Hunter.  He was the little boy that used to be so cruel to Jordan when he was in preK at that school.  At the end of the school year when Jordan came home with an imprint of this kid’s teeth on his arm that lasted for days, I was done.  I called the school resource officer.  The teachers and principal were so mad at me.  You called the cops on a 6 year old?  You’re not protecting my child.  I’ve asked you over and over again to fix this.  My husband has talked to his parents, nothing is working.  My son comes home with a mark like that after repeated requests to stop this, da*n straight I called the school resource officer.

The next year we moved to our school district and we haven’t seen that kid since then.

It was awesome to see Jordan beat him on the field, fair and square, no foul play.

Have a great day!

(I added 2 new giveaways last night, plus the thumb sucking giveaway (very low entries!!!).  I’ll get some more up tonight!  Things have finally calmed down to get back to blogging seriously.)
