Another Tournament!

Here are some pics of Hugo @ his tournament. This tournament was the West Coast Tournament he played in Mission Viejio. The fields were very nice. The weather was a little warm. I wasnt expecting it to be that warm there. But oh well I survived! The team had difficult weekend they had 2 games on Sat and they tied both! Sun they could of had 2 games just depending on another teams results and a win for us. Unfortunatly they lost so we had to go home! I didn't take but 24 pics this weekend the games were nerve wreckng so I was way to busy watching the games. But these are just my favs.
UPDATE on school!!! The boys are doing well in school, Nathan is adapting to H.S he really likes it. I give that boy props he is taking 3 CP (college prep) classes and a Spanish class and Cross Country and Soccer!!! I pray to God that he can do it all. Nate has a tournamnet this weekend in Riverside. This will be the last tournament in long while cuz the season begins 9/6/08 for both of them. Nano is doing well in school also. He just informed that he wants to join the chess club @ school! That boy will try anything. I hope he likes it! Then he can teach me how to play. Shark/Xavier is doing great i think he is enjoying having mommy to himself!!!
Well I am so sorry i havent posted in a long time I have been caught up in the hustle and bustle of the normal everyday things!!!
Have a great day and take care!!!

Tournaments and Back 2 Skl !!!

Obviously you can see from the pictures that Nathans team did really well this weekend. The team took the Championship. The final game was a nail bitter game it ended 4-3. His tournament was in Garden Grove Sat and Sunday. Nathan got a shoot out ( WAY 2 GO)on Sundays 1st game and if I am correct the final score was 5-0 so the coach pulled him out of his position (Goalkeeper) and put on the pitch as forward so he could get some time on the pitch. And I got some pictures of that Because who knows when that will happen again.lol. Nathan was so thrilled he smiled the whole way home. He has another tournament on 8/30 in riverside so cant wait for that one. Hugo has a tournament this weekend YES another tournament this month is all about tournaments!!! But this month is also about the kids going back to school. The boys are going back on Thursday. They are so ready to go back and so am I. This summer just flew right by me this year. Watch next thing I know it will be Christmas!!!
Well to all my family and friends I hope everyone is doing well, safe and healthy.
I am off to bed I need to wake up early to do some last minute shopping for school.
Good nite

Elite Cup 08/03/08

It started to shake!!!

Hello everyone. I hope all my friends and family are doing well! We are doing great over here. I got phone calls regarding the earthquake we had yesterday.Thanks for checking in on me and the family! A bit nerve rattling I was sitting in the car when it started to shake. First I thought it was a strong wind ( cuz it gets a bit windy @ hugos practice, that is why I was in the car hugo was @ soccer camp.) But then I realized NO it is a earthquake. Most of you all know that I am not from cali so this earth shaking crap really freaks me out!!! i havent felt many maybe 3 or 4 small ones but this one just kept going! after it finished I called Hubby cuz hubby was @ home with Nathan and Shark. Shark 1st asked what is that noise and why are we moving!!! It was so funny when I got home I asked him about it and he said "MOM we were moving" and he did this wiggling thing with his fingers he also said he was scared(POOR BABY).Now Nathan was on the computer and freaked out and ran upstairs (POOR DUDE). Good news though no damage to our house and I should really get prepared for the big one! Seriously I am not prepared what so ever. But other than that scare Hubby is working the kids are doing their soccer thing. Actually Hugo is doing a soccer summer camp this week so he has had to be in temecula @ 9am till 12pm! He is having a great time!!! He has a tournament this weekend in Temecula, WOOHOO you know I like tournys. And of course U Know I will be taking pictures this weekend. Oh yeah MOM miss ya and so do the boys especially Shark, he keeps asking when you are coming back.
Well better go finish the laundry and help Hugo get ready for camp tomorrow!
Good Night and everyone be safe!

This weekend!

Well as I mentioned Hugo celebrated his 10th birthday on Saturday we went to Olive Garden and it was delicious. Knotts soak city was so much fun. Hugo had a great time and I think I had more fun cuz my children were having so much fun. i can't wait to go back. Shark had the greatest time also he loved the slide for the lil ones he went on the slide atleast 50 times he also really enjoyed the wave area. Hugo really liked the Lazy river he really couldn't get enough of it.

After Soak city we went to Sonic. O.K I havent had sonic in about 10 years since I left Texas. I love their Cherry Limeade so refreshing on a hot day and let me tell you it was flippin HOT @ 6pm it was 107!!! Can you believe that!!!

Ohh My mom is on her way home she has left us!!! I really enjoyed having her here. It was so nice to hang out, make food, go shopping with here. I will miss having her here and so will the boys. Mom If I didn't tell you Thanks for coming down. I think the one thing i will miss most is when we rented 8 movies YES 8 movies and we watched movies all day. I got to watch girly movies. I watched P.S I love you o.k. I cried through the whole movie it was so so so good. Watch it Now if you havent seen it.

Other than that everyone is well over here. I hope you enjoy the pics I posted.

Some words to live by!!!

I read this today and I thought to myself "these are words I want to live by"!

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.

So love the people who treat you right, forget the ones who don't and believe

that everything happens for a reason.

If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it.

Nobody said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

RFC 2nd Place

Congratulation RFC!!!!
Way to go Boys I don't know how you do it, out there all day in the heat. It was atlesat 105 on Sunday and Saturday was hotter! But no matter what those boys are out there playing soccer. That is what I call "LOVE FOR THE GAME"!!!

Soccerfest tournament-RFC

Here are the results of Nathans soccer games. Today they had 2 games they won 2-0 against CCU and lost 0-1 against AC Milan. Tomorrow there are 2 more games so tomorrow I will post the results with some more pics. Good Luck RFC!!!
OHHH and the weather today was very very hot!!! To hot to work on my tan I stayed under the pop-up (shade) and drank lots of water. tomorrow is suppose to be the same and we have to be out their longer. But as I always say I LOVE to watch my boys play soccer. I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! This pic is of Nathan, I love how his body is in the air and his face is intense. To the right are more pics of todays game.

Hello all.
I hope everyone had a great weekend and I hope all those daddys had a great Fathers Day!
The same ole is going on over here, today Hugo had soccer practice out in Temecula and Nathan didn't have GK training today so Me and Hubby were able to hang out @ Hugos practice. Which is a very rare thing, we usually have to split practice. It was nice. Ohh and we get a break for 2 weeks NO PRACTICE for Hugo!!! Yeah!!!!! Sometimes a break is needed. oh and the gas we will be saving. The price of gas is insane, but I didn't have to tell you that. Right now we are debating on getting a compact car to save putting gas in my baby(the Armada)! but you have to consider insurance, DMV fees, maintance. will we actually be spending more money????
Well my nathan is having a soccer tournament this weekend YEAH!!! I like tournaments it will be nice and sunny this weekend so time to get my tan on! But i believe it will be really hot this weekend so I might not need tanning lotion just the sunscreen. So i will be updating you on Monday how the tournament went and of course I will add some pics I will try to get a pic of me with my new mouth(braces). speaking of my braces I can eat finally as of yesterday. I got to eat my salad it was so YUMMY!!! But Monday I will be back in the Ortho office to get me all wired up some more :( Well I better get up to bed now it is late and Xavier is falling asleep on me. GoodNight

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the Daddies out there. Especially to my Daddy!!! I love you Daddy and I hope you had a wonderful day. Also to my Hubby we love you babe and thanks for being a great dad! With lots of Love, Connie Nate, Nano, and shark.

Hello all!!!
i hope everyone is doing great. So what do you have planned for this weekend? So our weekend plans consist of just hanging out and BBQing for fathers day for DH. i am so sorry that I havent blogged much this week. The same ole is going on over here, Nathan and Hugo had soccer practice Mon-Thurs and Nathan started summer school on Tuesday. So Nathan has to be @ school @ 7:30am and is out @1. Atleast it is 1 less kid running around the house sayin that he is bored. He hasn't complained about school so I am hoping he sees the bigger picture of summer school (1 less class to take during the school year!). Xavier is great. He is running around and right now into chalk and bubbles in the backyard. Well as for me, My teeth are still hurting o.k they told me that my mouth would only hurt a couple days and well i am on day 5!!! I am not complaining!!!! I have to remember I wanted the braces! Other than that everything is great.
Everyone have a great weekend!!!

Braces are on board!!!

The Braces are on! I got them on this morning around 930a.m.!
How do they feel? Weird!
Am I excited? Heck YEAH!
Am I in pain? Kinda, cuz they put spacers in the back teeth and my teeth feel all squashed!
Do I look different? No, the family thinks I look the same!
How long are they on? 18-24 months (wow thats a long time!)
Metal/ceramic(clear) Braces? Ceramic clear braces (Davids nickname for me is Ceramic mouth!)

well thats about all the info you all need or probably would ask me. I feel o.k. right now I am really trying not to complain because I wanted braces. I had always put off getting them cuz I was to old, the kids, or whats the point now! See I have realized that I hate to smile cuz my teeth are not straight and Nathan got braces and his teeth are SO PRETTY! I want pretty teeth too!!!! So here i am with braces on! Wish me luck that my teeth move super fast and that the rest of the way will be pain free!
Bye all and thanks for looking(reading)!

Tomorrow he will have 2 more games and the team with the most points will have won the tournament. So wish him and the team luck! They need to win big time to make up for the lost this morning. I cannot post pics today because I forgot the camera this morning! Yes I forgot the camera I plan on putting it in the car tonight so Idont forget it tomorrow. OH Yeah I forgot to put suncreen on But I remembered to bring a hat so my face dosn't like a racoon face but my arms and legs look like a lobster (all red)!
I hope everyone enjoyed their Saturday!

KUNG FU PANDA

What a great movie!!!
We loved it! It was so funny. Xavier did really good he sat down and ate his chessy popcorn and his soda and watched the movie. We didn't even have to take a potty break!
Ohhh Let me tell what else happened today, after the movie me and the boys went to walmart to look for a game the boys have been looking for so as I retun to my Armada I go to tun off the alarm, that works but as I go to put the key in the ignition the alarm just starts going off and that damn thing is so damn loud! So here I am in the walmart parking lot and people are just starring @ me like I am a alien. Now I am so embarassed! The alarm is just out of wack it wont stop going off I cant start the truck! so thank goodness for AAA I call them and as I am speaking with a rep A guy in a AAA truck pulls up and parks so I ran up to him and asked if he could help me! I was hoping he would be nice enough seeing how he was already off duty! Well he was and he did help me I have no idea what he did but he pulled out the armada manual and did this and did that and he finally got it to stop tripping! While he was helping me he got a call to come help me, How funny! All I can say is thanks AAA and the AAA Guy! Can you believe that in the 2 years that I have had AAA this is the 1st time I have needed them.
Well tomorrow I will be @ Hugos soccer tournament and I will post photos cuz u know I will take about couple hundred! lol
I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

No More School!

The boys are officially off from school. Hugo already started wandering around the house like he didn't know what to do with himself! Not good! Nathan on the other hand just hangs out in his room talking on his cell phone or texting or playing games. You would figure we would sleep in seeing how we didn't have to wake up for school but good ole Xavier came to my bed this morning @ 8 a.m. and said "look mommy it's a beautiful morning!" So I jump out of bed and my day begun! School has paused for a bit, Nathan will be in summer school to get ahead in high school he starts Tues!
Hugo's club has a tournament this weekend out in temecula so we will be eating and breathing soccer this weekend! I hope his team does well I hope the weather is nice (not too hot or no rain Please!)
Tonight off to nathans soccer practice! Tomorrow no plans just hang out and get ready for the weekend. I just had a thought I might take the boys to go see Kung fu Panda tomorrow, we shall see how crazy they make me today!
I hope everyone has a great day! Thanks for reading! :)

me being goofy!

My weekend!

Here we are at Hugo's futsal game on Sunday. Xavier was running around and playing with his brother's he acts as if he is all grown up already! Than there is Nathan doing tricks with the soccer ball he never gets tired of doing tricks. It was so funny the other day Xavier came up to me and told me "that he was doing skitles with Nathan !" I said" you were doing what?" Xavier said "Skitles mom!" so luckily Nathan walked in the room as we were having this coversation and Nathan explained that skitles means SKILLS! Nathan and Xavier are just so close! Ohh and Hugo, well @ his futsal game he was running so much and was playing so hard that he actully threw up during the game on the feild! POOR BABY! But within 5 min he was back on the feild playing! Now that is what I call love for the game.
So Sat we went out to Cabazon to the Outlet mall and that was fun we shopped till we dropped and I have boys and all of them were "Mom dad look @ this, look @ that, they were in heaven!" My boys take after me!
Friday I got a haircut boy did I need one and later on in the evening me an david went out to dinner we had a date. We got to just hang out and chat! It was nice.
So that was my weekend, I got to hang out with my family.
