Soccer Queen



Soccer was very exciting this weekend. Lightening was down by about 100 when our little princess was set for a center kick, she fired away and sure enough scored our teams first and only goal! You should have seen the look of excitement and shock on her face. Of course her coach then asked why she had been holding back all game. We were very proud parents!

Other than that highlight, we also suffered all weekend with no A/C in the house. Of course the guy came to fix it today and it was a breaker switch. Who would have thought that the air unit would have run even without power? Thanks to my stupidity our daughter got to sleep in the basement last night. You are probably all saying "What was it like 80 degrees or something?" Not so fast. It was a smoldering 92 degrees all weekend.

It was also nice to hear some relief in my brothers voice this weekend while he was on tour with PJ. Good times for him. I cant wait to see them in MN next month. Should be a good show.

Later and out. I am bachelor all this week so don't look for any script, just pictures. Just kidding honey if you are reading this.

Oh my gosh I am getting OLD

Ok, Heidi blogging here... Yesterday was Kindergarten orientation day and believe it or not I held back the tears, barely. We started off the day with a trip down the lunch line followed by a talk from the Principle Kepke (who looks very young to be a principle) then the children were released to teachers for an afternoon in the classroom. I was left without my little side kick looking around at all the other parents wondering why I was the only one looking on the verge of tears. I don't know what I am going to without Brooke each day. Not only is she my friend but she is a great help. For instance, on "cleaning house day" she dusts, cleans the toilets and mops the kitchen and when I am caught in my car frantically looking for my sunglasses she so kindly tells me "they are on your head." Don't get me wrong there are days when I want to ring her little neck but all in all I can't believe my baby is growing up. She is very excited about school and is already a social little butterfly. We had another big accomplishment yesterday when Brooke mastered the monkey bars all by herself! It was an eventful day at the Humphrey's household!

Summertime

Its been a while and I think my brain has been revamped and ready for the summertime. Yes, its finally summer time here although we had a freeze warning this morning. Its supposed to be back in the high 70's this week. Lots of summertime activities in the Wausau household. Driveway being put in, grass being planted, etc. Heidi and Brooke are getting ready for their 2-3 week excursion to Des Moines for a run with friends. She was pretty stoked on Sunday with her 10 mile run. She has this cool Garmin GPS deal now that tells here how far she has gone, how fast she is going, all kinds of average, and a bunch more of cool stuff. From there she will be going to T-town to see family. Work has finally gotten crazy, I hate to say it but this is the time at work that separate the haves from the have nots. Gotta find a way to get it done.

Everybody seemed to like my "wanna be friends" statement. Seriously, since I have moved so many times over my lifetime my true friends are right here in this house. We do have a couple of GREAT friends but my job has managed to take those away as well. By the way we got stood up, I guess they didn't hear the phone ring. All the better.

That's about it from here. Everybody have a good summer!!

Be Like Mike (ah)

Its sleeting today in the middle of May. We might go the bar with people we might want to be friends with this weekend. Don't have any quotes that will make you think. Don't have any political views that I will talk about. I am going to sit on the couch and watch TV.

Sincerely,

Brain after a day at any job
