Quote for the Day!...(I just couldn't pass this one up!)

Quote for the day:
'Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply.
If you give her a sperm, she will give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she will give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she will give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she will give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.'
So remember - if you give her a small amount of crap, you will receive a ton of shit.

Soccer

Our Soccer Season finally started yesterday after a long delay because of Hurricane Ike. The kids were so excited to start their soccer games! Jacob's game started at 11:45 and Allyse's game started at 3:30. Jacob returned to his old soccer team from last year with a couple of new players. Allyse was on a new team this year. They both played so very well yesterday. Allyse got one goal (although I do not think they keep score at her age). Jacob did not get a goal yesterday, but played goalie and was GREAT! It was so nice to see Jacob enjoying himself as goalie! We took so many pics of them and so many came out great...so I had trouble choosing...but I will leave you with some pics from yesterday! ENJOY!

I couldn't help myself with this one!

"BOOING"

For the past couple of years we have had a tradition of "BOOING". The kids love to do this. I am sure most of you are familiar with this fun activity. We "BOOED" two of our neighbors...The Szot's & The Vegas'. We started it this year and hopefully it will go around quickly. The kids had a blast "ringing the doorbell and running". Although the kids were too scared to ring the doorbell...they made mommy do it...like I am the fastest runner in our family. Everyone had a job...mom rang door bell, dad took pictures, and Allyse & Jacob took turns booing each family. We had some much fun!

Tomorrow is the Big Day....

tomorrow we get....CABLE!!!! Didn't think it would affect me so much...but I guess it has. At first when the satellite company told us how long it would be before they could come out and fix our satellite...we freaked out...but then we discovered it wasn't so bad. It has been three weeks since we have had cable...and frankly...I am soooo ready to watch TV...anything on TV would be fine right now...I will even watch Jerry Springer...if he is still on Television. So if any one you will be wondering where we will be this weekend (besides two soccer games and some yard work)....we will be planting our little behinds in front of the TV!!!!

One More Thing....

I am so frustrated....I just found out that the season premiere of "The Office" is tonight and we still do not have cable.... :(!

Time To Catch Up!

Sorry for not blogging lately (not that a lot of people read this anyway...but in hopes that they do)...September has been a wild and crazy month for us...for ALL of us!

I really don't know where to begin and I really don't want to drag on...so I will start with...


1. My annual "Girls Trip" to Perdido Key was great, unfortunately it was during the hurricane and I couldn't get home until Monday. My friend (Shasta) and I left on Thursday and I returned on Monday. I very much underestimated the storm...Hurricane Ike...we did not have any damage to our house...but we were without electricity for 4 days which is not bad considering some of Houston still does not have power. Girls trip was a lot of fun...I love catching up on all of the gossip I miss throughout the year...my head hurt from all of the information...THANKS GIRLS!

Pic of the girls...except Mel & Shasta!

Courtney, Me & Mica

Pic of our condo...which was AWESOME...it had four bedrooms and each bedroom had it's own bathroom (which is perfect with 10 girls)...it was almost 3400 square feet and it was incredible!

2. The kids were off of school for almost two weeks because of Hurricane Ike! The kids returned to school on Wednesday, September 24..which was yesterday. It really messed everything up...darn that Hurricane Ike. The kids were just getting into the school schedule and soccer was getting ready to start and then at a drop of a hat everything stopped. The soccer field where Jacob and Allyse play soccer were really messed up so it will be a while before we start up soccer...and when they do I will post pics...can't wait!

3. On September 19, Mike and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. We had planned a trip to Denver, Colorado for four nights and five days. Mike had a conference in Denver and thought I should tag along...which I thought was a great idea. My parents watched Jacob and Allyse for us...THANK YOU SO MUCH MOM AND DAD!!!! It was nice to get away...but i will tell you what I have learned...not that I didn't know this before, but I feel even stronger about it now....I ABSOLUTELY LOVE STAYING HOME WITH MY CHILDREN. I know some people don't understand what that means...but I can't imagine myself anywhere but home with my kids. I am VERY grateful that financially Mike and I can make that decision. I met a woman at the conference with 3 kids and she travels 300 days out to the year and her husband works as well. I couldn't image that! It is so important to me that I am home when me kids get home from school (even if they don't always want to talk to me)...it's the best job in the world!!!!!

4. Halloween is approaching and anyone who knows me well... knows that I LOVE Halloween...so hopefully next week I can start decorating...YEAH!!!!!

I guess that is it for now I will leave you with a pic I took of Allyse a couple of weeks ago when she was having a bad morning...I wanted to take a pic of her with her curly hair...but she didn't think it was such a good idea....

What's been going on with "The Doiron's"....

I know I haven't blogged lately...so much has been going on. We had company for Hurricane Gustav for a couple of days. My cousin Logan and her boyfriend Blake...my cousin Wayne and his wife Erika and their 7 week old baby...Isla...stayed with us for a couple of days while Hurricane Gustav made it's way through Louisiana! It was so nice to have them staying with us! I do miss those good ole' hurricane parties!

Mike traveled to Bogota, Colombia last week while we had a house full!

We are going on our 3rd week of school and Jacob has a ton of homework...not fun at all! Third grade will be a challenge for him! Allyse has had some projects...but is quick to get them done...unlike Mr. Jacob!

Michael and I went to a concert on Friday night to see one of my favorite bands...Maroon 5. They played at The Woodlands Pavilion...and it was great!

I have my annual "Girls' Trip" planned for this weekend in Perdido Key...but it looks like that might change!

Have a good week!
