Jon and Kate....

So Jon and Kate were in Memphis. How did I not know this? Someone should have told me. Speaking of Memphis I was there this weekend. I made a big discovery. We are like an hour from the outside of Memphis. They have new shopping there with nice restaurants. I could be eating at Carraba's, BoneFish, Red Robin, and they have a burrito place. It is not Moe's or Qdoba's but it is good. I reminded me of Qdoba. They have a lot of nice shops. One is a Massage Place, so I might have to hook someone up with that. It was a Great Discovery.

Life is good...

Did you know those Life is good t-shirts are really soft? I think about that phrase often and I wonder if people really think that. Well, Life is good here today. I was able to start planning my garden today. I was going to use my tiller to work on the soil, but it was not working. It is in the shop now. I have to get it fixed. I spent the entire day at home except for the morning excursion with Landon to Lowe's. He does not like going anywhere, but loves riding in the car. I alos went to the grocery store. I grilled out and watched the tigers play basketball. I was hoping LSU and Memphis would win, but only Memphis was able to pull it out. Life is good.


It was a great day.

No School....

Finally we get no school tomorrow. It is for our basketball team. They are 2 wins away from a State Championship. We have a good chance, but I think the winner of tomorrows game will definitely win it. It snowed this weekend, so I took pictures. It will probably be a long time before we have 4 inches of snow on the ground.

Landon is doing great, but he is still sick all the time. He is saying Yes sir now. It is awesome. I can't get No sir out of him, but I will take what I have. He counts to ten now, and kind of knows his ABC's. He also writes on a chalkboard and says his name, my name, and Pop. He loves his Pop!

Some how I am working for free as a soccer coach at the Sportsplex. I need to get another soccer coaching job. I mean one that pays. I found out this weekend that one of my kid's parents is going to make more money than me coaching a middle school team in Memphis. Now, I would not coach there, but it does bother me. I guess in a way, I work free for the high school too. Tomorrow I am driving down with the guy's soccer coach. We always have fun together. I sure we will again.

I'm Busy...

Tonight Kristy and Landon were going to watch a movie together. He ran out of the room into the den to get another movie. Kristy calls for him and he says, "I'm Busy!" I about fell out of my chair. I have been waiting on this one. I know where he got it.

Today was his birthday, he is now 2 years old. I can not believe he has grown up this fast. It is amazing. Time is really flying by with the little dude.

I am on a running program now. It is going really well. I don't like the fact that Dogs are trying to attack me when I run. I ran 4 miles today, non-stop except for when the dog was trying to attack me. I need to learn how to run away from them, but that interrupts my run. I did very well today. I actually increased my pace as I went along. I was able to have a good 400 meter kick today.

State Playoffs

I am in Jackson, MS today. I am travelling with the boys team now. I helping them see things during the game. It has been a complete honor to be included with this group of boys and their coaches. We are truly creating a soccer culture in our town. I am so excited about what next year will bring. I really feel like the boys have a chance to win state. If they win today, it will really pave the way to make a run. We play at 5 at St. Andrews.

My girls fell short of the playoffs, but we did have a great season. We just did not know how to play as well as we can. I have a lot of work to do for next year.

Should be a busy spring and summer as I try to increase my soccer knowledge and also improve my team. I am working with a lot of different teams and organizations over the next 9 months.

Landon is growing up so fast. He is starting to really put together sentences now. We can almost understand everything. I am able to talk to him on the phone very well when I am away.

Great Day!!!

Soccer is winding down. We had a game today. We won against someone who beat us earlier this year! We have won three in a row. Then it was 35 degrees here, so we went and got Ice Cream. I know it is crazy. When it is cold, I want Ice cream. I got a day off. I ready for it. I really can't wait for spring break. I want to go some where. I got to convince Kristy of that.

We are sitting here watching MSU play basketball. It is a great game. I am so happy they are doing well. We are planning a trip to MSU really soon. I just like to go there, so we can eat. Speaking of eating I want some East Coast Wings. I miss that place so bad. I also miss that Mexican Restaurant. I think one day we will go back to that area.

New Year, New Church

I kind of thought we would go this route when we moved over here. We started last year the same way, so today we went to church. It was a Presbyterian church. We know a lot of people that go there. I enjoyed the service not so sure about the sunday school class. It will be nice to go a couple of times to see if more people come. This church has a lot of children, and a great after school program. What we will do next week about church, but we are going to look for a church.

3 more weeks of soccer left, and I will be glad that it is over. It might be 4 weeks, but I am pretty sure we will be hard pressed to win in the first round of the playoffs. I hope we get to play the first game at home. I don't want to drive all the way to Jackson to get stomped.

Landon has the bedrail now so no more crib. We don't restrict him to much on naps anymore. He pretty much falls asleep when he wants to like today at the table eating. I go in there to check on him and he has been asleep. Kristy had to lay with him last night to get him to sleep.
