busy busy busy

Sorry I haven't been on lately. Work has been so crazy busy. I am short on staff and have been working any time between 5:30am to 10:30pm. I am so tired and I just found out this week that one of my other girls is quiting. I sure hope that we start getting some good applicants soon.

Memorial weekend I made another wedding cake. Beth asked me to make it for her ex-sister in law. She finally married the father of her two youngest kids. I hope that she is happy this time around.
And we went camping at Mirror Lake. Have you ever been up there? It is close to Sandpoint, very quiet. They actually filmed part of Dante's Peak there. The part where they go to rescue grandma from the cabin, they get in a small boat and go across the lake, and the acid in the lake eats the boat. Well this is the place the cabin was actually built by the movie people and was left there for them. We had a good time, we took the canoe up and farted around the lake. Then Larry let Gabby drive the Xterra. I was so nervous, but she has informed us that as of October 27th she can start taking drivers ed. Please do me a favor and put me out of my misery now.

We had our last soccer tournament Sept 11 & 12 in Sandpoint. I don't have pictures of them playing this time. I am taking the stats for the games and Larry isn' t real good with the camera. The girls did great! The played like a real team, talking to each other, calling the ball, assisting with goals, helping Kassi stop goals, and we even had one of our new girls to Sting score her first goal. We beat out the Sting Clark team, Lakeland Nighthawks, and Spokane shadow. Then we faced the Kootenai Rovers (Canada team) in the semi finals. The Rovers went into the semi finals undefeated, we played our hearts out and held them to the end 0-0. It then went to a shoot out and they were lucky enough to advance to the finals against the Missoula Strikers. We are not sure who won the tournament but our girls finished in third place. Please excuse me while I go kick larry's ass.

Ok I am back.

On September 19 we had our first league game against the Spokane Strikers. We played hard again and a couple of our girls including Kassi got hurt. The final was Spokane 3-2. Kassi ended up stopping a goal and getting kicked in the ribs (she is a little sore, but I don't think it is anything serious), then she came out to play forward got ran over and then took a shot at a goal and twisted her ankle. Mason one of the other players twisted her knee (she has already been in to see the doctor about doing this a couple of weeks earlier and is currently wearing a brace), Sophia has one of her hands braced up from breaking her thumb on the counter. We look real good coming out on the field:)

Jake and Vicky are in the process of building there shop. They gave us the canopy and boy has it been an experience. We got it just before memorial weekend, and of course we were gone so it did not get tied down. When we got home sunday it was still standing up right, yeh! Then we went to dinner and when we came home it was upside down in our trees, we left it over night since is was storming. Then monday it decided to go back into the Powlison's yard (half in the pool and the other half was in the area Jake just dug out for the shop). Jake helped take the top and sides off and put the frame back in our yard. Wednesday I came home from work and decided to mow the yards. I had the girls come out and help me move the thing to the back of the fence line. As soon as we picked it up one of the bars at the top popped out of the frame, we set it down to fix it and BAM! Another bar popped out and cracked me across the cheek bone. My eye swelled up so big that it blocked my vision, and to top it off it has been blacker than black for the last week. Everyone has been asking me if Larry did it and if I needed them to protect me. Sorry no picture

Gabby went to her first homecoming dance. She looked so beautiful! She was fighting me on going too. She kept saying that she didn't want to go because she didn't have a date. I told her that I didn't have dates everytime and that if she didn't go she would regret it. I won! She went and she had a great time.

Ok talk with you later! Love you


Oh I almost forgot Beth and Josh had a little boy. Jack William Glidden. He is a cute little boy and they are doing very well. Beth is loving it! Josh has even come around, and they have been talking about having one more (not right now, probably in a couple of years). I will get a picture and post it later.
