Soccer Champs!

Last weekend was filled with Spirit Soccer.  We have all been looking forward to this tournament, where the team would get to play their own age group and really shine through with their talent.  The first two games didn't show the team at their best but they still pulled out wins.  The third game was fabulous!  Then it was on to the finals.  It was a little slow going at first but the team never let down and won the championship 7 to 3!  Way to go Cole and Coach Shaun!

it's been a while since my last post...

And now it's time for "life on rosehill" update:-)  About a month ago, Jeremy's boss closed up his shop, leaving Jeremy to become a statistic on the unemployment rates.  Though things are going to be tight for a while, we both know it was for the best to get away from his boss.  Hopefully it won't take too many months for Jeremy to find a job.  I'm sure Jeremy is happy that this happened around hunting season, leaving him with more opportunities to enjoy his hobby.
Since Jeremy now has some extra time, he has been able to complete a few projects that needed to get done.  First off, he finished Bow's food dish holder.  I like to joke that it's the nicest piece of furniture in our house.  The holder is a big improvement to the stack of phonebooks previously holding his food dishes.

 Next on Jeremy's "todo list" was to get rid of the wasp community in our bathroom window.  Successful mission!

Now that the wasps are gone, a new window was installed.  We had a few glitches getting the window in (mainly b/c the wrong window was bought) but after a few hours all was good!

Jeremy has also been busy re-sheetrocking the laundry room and downstair bathroom.  Pictures will be added later when there is more to show:-)

We have also been busy attending Team Spirit's games.  The boys improve every game and it's so much fun to watch.  Here are some pictures of Cole:

Lastly the Gribbin side of the family has a new addition.  Cally Jean born on September 9th.  She is adorable!  It's Jeremy and my's first niece, can't wait to "girl" her up;-)  Here is a picture of the new Lynn family!  So cute!

Great Weekend

This weekend was full of activities and was a blast!  Friday night I got together with a group of friends for Happy Hour at Sol Cantina.  Though it rained, we where able to stay dry and make it home before the big storms came in.  Saturday started off with an awesome soccer game.   Team Spirit played really well and walked away with a win of 6-2.  That night we attended Wyatt's 4th birthday party.  I can't believe he is turning 4 in a few days.  The party was a huge success!  It was a lot of fun to watch Wyatt and his little friends get so excited over everything.  Bow did great around all the people...honestly I think there were so many people there that he just wanted to hang with me and Jeremy.  We ended the weekend by having dinner at my parents house with all the siblings.  After we ate, Jeremy was able to help Cole with some pitching and batting skills.  They ended up using Bow's ball for batting practice so the ball wouldn't go far when hit.  Bow didn't understand why the boys were playing with his ball and he wasn't able to play too;-)  Fun weekend!

Go Spirit!!

Fall 2010 Soccer Season has official begun.  A few weeks ago, Spirit had a scrimmage game against Strike Force KC (Shaun played with their coach in high school).  Though the scrimmage didn't show Spirit at their best, it was a great way to kick off the season!  Here are some pictures from the game.  One of the dad's takes awesome pictures so I stoled them from him.  Someday I hope to have a fancy camera to capture action shots like these;-)

iPhones

Two weeks ago, Jeremy and I went to AT&T to get new phones.  I knew going in, that I was going to get an iPhone and assumed Jeremy was just going to get a simple phone like he has in the past.  While I'm picking out a cover for my phone, Jeremy and the salesman look at his options.  A few minutes later, Jeremy comes over and says he is getting an iPhone too.  I told him he wouldn't like it but whatever.  I'm happy to say he has proven me wrong!  I cannot believe how much Jeremy loves his new phone.  He has turned into a texting machine!

Wasps...please help

For the past few months we have noticed a wasps nest in our bathroom window and have done nothing about it.  Now we a huge family living in our window.  Check out the pictures below.  We don't have a way to kill them right now, I think we need to call Billy the Exterminator and have him get rid of these nasty things.

Vacation

Last weekend The Gribbin's went to AZ for a short va-cay. It was a nice get-away and a great time spent with Jeremy's parents and cousins. Highlights from the trip include hanging out in the pool, playing with Riley, a little shopping, drinking margaritas, d-backs game, movie time for the boys and nice dinners. Here are some pictures and video from the weekend.
