ACDC on Sunday

Guess who gets to work security at the ACDC concert!!!!!!!!!!

Freaks of Nature 08 Season

We ended our soccer season with a fantastic run. We won 7 games, and willingly forfeited the last game as we had already made it into the championship. The game was a really tough match. I felt for the most part we dominated the game, but sadly it ended in a 2-2 tie. We then went through (2) five minute sudden death rounds in which nobody made a goal. Sad to say, we lost in pk kicks 4-3. Was a really good run, we all had fun and can't wait until next year.

Twilight...............

Alright, so I am so not on the band wagon with the movie. And yes, I did read all 4 books and love them. First of all, the book says that Edward is a person that hurts so much to look at him. Well, I am not into Edward, I do not know why he just doesn't appeal to me. I know, call me silly as thousands of teenage girls are swooning for the actor on screen, I so would much rather have the bad boy villian Cam Gigandent be the main star! Now that's a hunk.

We took all the boys to see it last Friday night, and I was actually criticised for being a parent who would *gasp* take her 3 children to see a PG-13 rated movie. Says one woman who appeared to be in her 60's. Can I go to one movie without pissing somebody off? What's sad is that my kids have seen more violent shows than that awkward teenage love fest. Oh well. Another movie, another critic.

Into Africa with Madagascar 2

I forgot to mention that we took the boys to see Madagascar 2 last Friday. When did they start making these cartoons for adults and not the kids??? Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the animation, and my kids still laughed, but there were some scenes that were adult-themed with jokes that I'm sure only people over the age of 17 really got. I think one of the weirdest parts was when the male hippo starts 'surfacing' out of the water so that Gloria could get a better look at his 'assests' hmmmmmmm...... Wonder what cartoon they'll come out with next for us.

Staff Pro Security

Yesterday Chris and I worked a 12 hour day as Staff Pro Security Guards for the Seattle Seahawks. Although it was alot of being on your feet and we only got (1) 25 minute break in that time, we had quite the fun.

The first 8 hours we worked in an area called Friends and Family in which we were security for all the VIP people that get into Qwest Field. We got to see the majority of the Seahawks from 2 feet away, including the coach's from both the Seahawks and the Cardinals. Chris also got to pat down Warren Moon and Steve Riebl!!! How awesome is that. We saw some very neat people yesterday.

After that, the next 2 hours were spent in the main corridor of the Seahawks and the Sea gals locker rooms. I worked the corridor and didn't allow anyone through unless they had a pass, while Chris worked the area next to me guarding the food! LOL! I think his best moment was being in charge of the gates while the Sea Gals ran back and forth from the game to their locker room! :)

The last 2 hours I was in charge of Freight Elevator number 2. Yup, you guessed it, I got to press the buttons and make the elevator go up and down. The highlight of this job was when I had to escort a prisoner who had been tasered from the upper concourse (level 5) all the way down to the field level. And of course there were stops on every floor of the way down, with the prisoner yelling the whole time. Lots of fun.

Super Aidan to the Rescue

So I took Aidan to work on Friday and the shop crew set up an area for the man of steel to test his might in holding up a 24" piece of ductwork. I loved his face, so hilarious!

Happy Halloween!!!!

I know, I'm late, story of my life, right?!!! So, the three boys had a ball on Halloween. Brennon and Keagan went all over with their friends gathering enough candy to feed us through the winter (work here I come!) haha. Aidan loved being a jedi and found his own Darth Vader to get into fights with.
