Got the girls all fitted

Well tonight was a 3 hour practice and I got almost all the girls fitted into uniforms. I had my camera but do you think I remembered to take any photos!! GEESH!! I will try to post some soon of the new squad (all 20 of them!!!!) Our season begins in 2 weeks and I sure hope that we will be ready.

Scott enjoyed practice tonight as he got to show off his basketball dribbling skills and the girls oohed and awed over him. Courtney was there also so he had someone to run around the school with. (hope they didn't do anything I should know about)

That's it for tonight. I will try to post more photos soon.

hugs to all

O what a week!!

I am so glad this week is over!! Scott started off the week in the principals office!! Then the state surveyor showed up to survey the home I manage (which lasted 3 LONG days) . Those were extremely stressfull along with 2 lengthy cheer practices this week. GEESH!!! I am worn out and so is Scott. He has discovered "things" to do and get into at the junior high so he now likes to attend cheer practice....lol The girls all love and fawn all over him so he just eats it up. This week was nice as my niece Kylie has been teaching the 8th graders a dance and Lacey (a co-workers daughter in college)came to work with the 7th graders and help teach the basics. The girls love have each of them attend practice so we are having lots of fun.

Scott got a digital camera tonight (which is charging now) so plan to see some of his work soon!! He has been BEGGING for his own camera for some time and there was a cute little one on clearance last night at walmart for $9 so that's what he got. He is so excited, so we'll see how well the pics turn out.

Well that's all for now, just wanted to share how our week went. Hope yours was wonderful and less stressful than ours!! lol

take care and hugs to all
Sheila and Scott

some random pics of my cheerleaders

Football season is over and now we are having try-outs for basketball. I have had such fun coaching these girls. They truely are amazing and so much fun. Scott loves to hang out with them all and of course they just fawn all over him!! Congrats girls to a great season!!!

Trick or Treat at the college

Last night it was trick or treat night at the college. Scott is BEN 10 this year and had lots of fun!! He decorated 2 different pumpkins and won a beanie baby stork in one of the dorms playing games. Scott was brave and also went thru one floor at the SCARY DORM....we did NOT make it through all levels....lol He was TOO SCARED!! Tomorrow night is the official trick or treat night but we only go to people we know and to the group home that I manage.

Pumpkin carving 2008

Monday night 10/27/08 David came over to assist Scott in carving his pumpkin as they do each year. After much grumping and cursing the end result was awesome!! Of course Scott chose the most difficult pattern but he and daddy got it complete and it is glowing out on the front porch.

Last football game of 2008

Well I will be heading out to the last game of this season soon. The girls have done a wonderful job and I plan to take more pics tonight to share. If any of you read this you have done AWESOME ! I am very proud of each of you and how quickly we were able to get up and running for the short season. Basketball will start soon!!!

What a wonderful FALL DAY!!!

Scott and I arrived home today at the exact same time. As the bus came to a halt he cam blasting off and ran all the way down the block to jump on me asking to PLEEEAAAAAASEEEEE rake the leaves so he could play in them. He is such a good little worker!! He raked most of the front yard and then instantly begged to call Ryan and see if he could come over and "jump" in them, which of course they did. They had a blast and even Kelsey joined in. (although I failed to get a pic of her darn it!! sorry kelsey!!) It's days like this that remind of what a great kid Scott is. After a couple of hours of playing in the leaves we all went to DQ for supper. What a great fall evening!! Thanks Tracy, Ryan and Kelsey for a fun night!!

A new pic of me!!

Thought I would share a recent pic (10-10-08) of me!! Can't decide what I want to do with my hair!!! HELP!! any suggestions?? Not sure if I want to grow it back out or keep it short??? decisions decisions...............

The end of Football 2008

Well the season ended yesterday. Scott enjoyed his first year, however he says he does NOT want to play next year, so we will see. He really did have lots of fun and made some new friends in older grades. His league was for 1st-3rd grade. Scott being a 1st grader was a bit of a struggle since he had NO CLUE how to play the game or what was supposed to happen.

The pics are of Scott awaiting his trophy, gatorade and snack and once he received his rewards!! lol Scott is very proud of his trophy and has insisted that mommy leave it out for everyone to see!! Well Football down and soon it will be basketball time.

Hilger's 2008

Well every year since Scott was born we have taken him here and got pictures of him in the pumpkin pit. This year (10/4/08) he invited along some friends (as did mommy) and we all had a blast.

We went thru the haunted attic (which was not too scary) and all the boys played on the swings, rode a train, ran an obstacle course and played in the hay etc. Once we were done there we went on into Ft. Wayne and ate at Burger King with the huge playland on dupont road. The kids as well as the adults were exhausted. Scott had Jordan spend the night and they had a blast. Scott and I each enjoy getting together with Angell, Jordan, Paige, Lexi and Lisa, Nicholas and Sammy. Thanks guys for joining us and allowing Scott to have the best time. We hope to keep up the monthly outings. Scott is now looking forward to all of you coming down to trick or treat with us at the college in a few weeks!!

Yet another Monday.....

Had cheerleading practice this afternoon. Practice went well and the girls learned another new cheer that they will use for basketball season. I am so proud of them. They all catch on quick and work to perfect each new cheer. Above you see the squad for Football 2008. They really are a great bunch of girls!! Scott stayed after school to "assist" mommy but decided quickly that going with gramma and grampa out to eat was much more fun for him, so they picked him up from practice and took him to McDonald's for supper.

Flag Football

Scott has his first flag football game tomorrow @ 3pm. He's excited even though he still hasn't cought on completely to the game. He tries hard and loves going to practice. He now wants to watch any football game on TV...OH MY!! lol I plan to take pics and post some as soon as I can.

Work, school and coaching the junior high cheerleaders is keeping me quite busy these days. So I hope to keep posting for all of you to see how Scott grows and changes SO QUICKLY!!!

hugs to all!!

NOT A GOOD CALL EITHER!!! Scott is in some hot water with her and after talking with him tonight about it I sure hope he is able to halt any further such phone calls!! O MY!! 1st grade and I am already being called.
Today has been a rather full and hectic day yet again....so I am finally off to bed!!

Time to get this Blog rolling!!

It's time that I get this thing up and going and get everyone invited to keep up with us!! We are very busy these days.

He has decided that he wants to try football and his first practice is wednesday night!! I will add pics now that I have figured out my newest camera. Scott attended his first High School football game this past friday night and had a great time. I have interviewed to be the coach for the Junior High Cheerleaders. I should find out this week how that went. I am need of something fun for me to do and I am looking forward to the possibility of doing this. Keep your fingers crossed.
