And so it begins....


Our crazy Fall soccer season has kicked off in full force! This year we have 3 of the 4 boys playing! Colton is playing U12 Freedom Galaxy, Zac is playing U10 Freedom Wildfire, and Ethan is playing U6 Freedom Inferno!

Even though we are on the soccer field Monday thru Thursday nights, and 3 games on Saturdays...we are excited for this season! Eric is coaching Ethan's team too!


Last weekend, Colton and Zac had their seeding tournaments. Colton had 2 tough losses, although if you ask me, he was their star player for both games! Zac played 4 games, and had 2 wins, and 2 ties. They ended up placing 3rd in the tournament!! The season officially begins on October 3rd...so if you have a free Saturday from now thru November...stop on by the field!! They boys would love to have you!



GO BRINER BOYS!!!!!

One Sweet Guy!

Well, as you can see by my lack of blogging, I have been swamped, and not to mention sick. :( I have had this annoying cough for almost 2 weeks now, but have had to keep going. The boys started school, and since we homeschool...this teacher couldn't call in for a sub! I also ran a booth at the Women's Conference, and also had 3 parties, oh ya, and soccer practice 4 nights a week! Needless to say I'm a little pooped!

What does this have to do with Eric? Well, I just have to brag on him...while trying to get to the Women's Conference this week at 6:30 a.m., I was frantically trying to leave early because I had to go to the bank. Of course I was running late, but went to grab my purse, and Eric had left cash and my keys all laid out for me. :) (Not to mention he watched the boys all that day too!) This weekend he took the 3 older boys camping, but before he left, he sat me down, and turned on the TV. He told me he wanted me to relax this weekend, and he had TIVO'd me some movies. (Including my favorite...Sixteen Candles!)

Thanks Sweetie, I love you! Even after 18 years...you've still got it!

New Blog Announcement



Yes, it's 1:07 a.m. Yes, I'm fighting a cold. Yes, I have 4 loads of laundry on my bed. Yes, I should be sleeping....but I'm so excited I've decided to start a NEW blog! It's called the Queen of Copy! (queenofcopy.blogspot.com) So many times I get asked where I get my ideas for decorating, centerpieces, entertaining, and honestly, most of the time, I just copy what I've seen, and try to do it for less! This blog is going to let me share my secrets! (Well, at least the decorating ones!) :) I also am hoping to get some great ideas too! Not much is up yet...but keep checking back, and let me know what you think!

A hunting they will go...

September. Most people think of fall leaves & fresh autumn air...well, not my boys. The whole year they look forward to the opening of dove hunting season. This year Colton took a gun safey course with his grandpa, and loved taking the class, and spending one on one time with grandpa too. September first, they got up at 3:30 a.m. and were off. They spent the whole day with Eric, grandpa, and Uncle. They shot more clay pigeons than actual birds, but it was a great memory. Today Ethan gets to join them on their evening hunt tonight. They have their camo gear...and are ready to hunt! Hey, better them...than me! ;)
