MK Volleyball Tournament...

Well today was our MK Volleyball Tournament, Mario was playing with me on my team.

We had 5 on our team and we came in 3rd... it was good fun and it was our first year to play... went home got some Sonic and then slept for a few hours before getting dressed for the Dallas Stars vs St. Louis Blues game...



Mario didn't want to go so Nathalie went with me.. we had a good time.. I got her a jersey of the Mavs...Stars lost... 5-0... but Nathalie enjoyed the fights that broke out... there were 4 of them.. she would say , i'd wish they fight again.. and within a few minutes, there they'd go at it...

NMHS...

Last night we went to the home game for North Mesquite High, they were playing against Irving's MacArthur High. In the 3rd quarter, one of the team members from Irving got injured and an ambulance had to be called. All that brought back the memory of Mario getting injured. I know what that player's mother was going through, not knowing what was happening, what's going to happen...can't help her son in any way but just to stay calm next to him. Putting up a front when in reality you just want to cry because your son is in pain and there's nothing you can do about it. Next week is Mario's 1st game and I am so worried about him. He tells me that his leg doesn't bother him and that they have been practicing how to tackle, but while his coaches train one way, the other school's coaches can train their players differently.


NMHS lost the game, it was a good close game...now they are 3-1

Labor Day weekend....

Well Labor Day weekend came and went...

Friday, I left work early and headed home to get some sleep...since the dogs were at the vet's. Slept for a few...then waited for Mario to get home so that he could go with me to pick up the dogs by 6pm...then dropped the dogs and Mario home and headed to Nathalie's game in Garland...

Saturday was just a blahhh day.. nothing special , besides Cristobal's 1st b-day...

Sunday was cool, we headed to Daniela's for a cookout and had food and fun....

Monday was a blast!!! We headed to Joe Pool Lake with Daniela and her family and her brother's family (Albert)... Albert took his boat and Nathalie, Mario, Mauricio and Albert's kids were all having fun on the tube... I got in the boat and had JuJu asleep, but she had her chance on the tube too with Michael...everyone had a blast...Can't wait til we do it again!!

Nathalie had a wipeout on the tube that she scrapped her face in the water and Mario had a wipeout and Mauricio had a wipeout ...Michael had several wipeouts...

but they all had fun!!

NMHS game2 vs. N. Garland

Pacesetter ... Nathalie ... NMHS

Well today is the first game of NMHS and Nathalie's first football performance.

She has a friend that asked if I would like to take turns carpooling with her mother, they live in Tradewind Apts, I said sure. The way it'll work is we take turns one week each of taking the girls to school in the morning and whoever has the week off will pick up the girls after the game for that week. So this week it is the other mother's turn and my turn to pick up after the game tonight.

Well this morning, I was in my room getting dressed when Nathalie yells that she is about to leave, I said 'okay have fun, I'll see you tonight'... I'm about to leave and as I walked into the kitchen I see Nathalie's Pacesetter outfit hanging on the pantry door!!! I go into the garage to open it and call Nathalie's friend Kiya, I ask for Nathalie and when she gets on the phone I ask her, 'how you planning on performing without your suit?' Nathalie freaked out, so I told her that I would take it up to her at school, to wait for me. I was at the light and Nathalie calls me to find out where I was, because she was in practice, I tell her I was at the light about to turn into the school parking lot...I pull into the parking lot and here comes Nathalie laughing and smiling (as always)... first thing she says, 'don't worry I'm not in trouble, I got permission to come out here.' So I told her to hurry back into the gym to her practice.. SHE WENT RUNNING !! (she never wants to run)...I follow her to the gym entrance and yell out the window.. 'OMG, UR RUNNING...OMG!'
of course Nathalie is just smiling...So I told her that I would see her tonight and to have fun....she will be staying at the school all day until after the game...

SCORE:

NMHS : 28
ROWLETT: 16

NORTH MESQUITE WINS!!
