Wow what a crazy last few weeks!! I am JUST updating from the Wing Ding that happened 2 weeks ago because it's just been THAT busy! Let me start off by recapping what may be the funniest tradition we have created for our family and friends...and the yummiest! The 1st Annual Wing Ding!! It all started over a year ago when we went out with our Tia Lue to lunch and had some wings... we decided right there and then we should have a wing contest, and FINALLY 2 weeks ago we did, and it was a hit! I think our house was going to explode with all the people there but who cares we were surrounded by all of our family and friends and REALLY good wings. We set up the competition so that everybody had a team name and all contestants could enter up to 3 different wing flavors. We had 2 judges and everybody who wasn't participating in the competition just had to bring a pot luck dish to share with everyone. The winner received a trophy and 2nd and 3rd received a ribbon. I think we had enough food to feed a few army's! We also set up Micah's room to be the play area for all the other kids and we set up the jumping castle for them too, so Micah was in heaven with his cousins.
Our team name was the Kickin' Chickens and we came in 2nd place!! Matt still can't remember if he turned in the fried or grilled wings so we still aren't sure which one of our wing flavors won...oh well they were both good. I made us team shirts and encouraged other teams to do the same...they were all pretty awesome! Here are a few pictures of the party, and if you want to see the website I created just go to www.tigsports.com/wingding I haven't posted any pictures from the party, again because it's been CRAZY over here but I will be posting them in the next few days.
This was just the begining of the chaos... Yikes what a yummy mess!
This was just HALF the wings entered into the contest!
After the big Wing Ding it was back to work with the second biggest event our company has undertaken which is the ASA 10B Western National Championship. It is a 10 and under girls fastpicth National Tournamnet that is still going on right now. It started on the 2nd and goes until the 8th. I have never seen so many 10 year olds in one place at one time. Anyway it's a great tournament that we have been lucky to host and it's almost over. It takes lots of work to put it on and we are exhausted!
And lastly (tired of reading?) Micah's first big oucheeee. Last Sunday when I sent Micah to take a nap I asked him if he wanted me to take a nap with him (which has happened LOTS these past few weekends because I am soooo tired), he said no, which was a surprise because he usually wants me too. So I walked out and JUST as I sat on the couch to relax I heard an awful "THUD" and then THE cry that you know it’s not just a little trip up or bump. I ran (no waddled) over to the bed and immediately saw what happened. The poor kid had blood (I felt like it was a gallon) coming out of his mouth. I rushed him over to the bathroom and started making him spit out the blood and then made him drink water and spit repeatedly. FINALLY when the blood was slowing down I could check to see what was going on. I was looking for a missing tooth or missing parts of his tongue. Luckily I found neither, but I did find that he bit both sides of his tongue and banged his bottom 4 front teeth so that they are now crooked. After it was all said and done I asked him "were you being a monkey and jumping on the bed?" and he replied in a cry "uhhh huh". Apparently jumping on the bed was way more fun than taking a nap...hence him not wanting me to lay down with him due to his hidden agenda to want to jump! Lesson Learned!
Other than that I have exactlty 2 weeks until we get to see our baby girl and I haven't even finished her room completly. Maybe because I think all she needs when she gets here is us, so I am not stressing too much about it. But I am excited to not be pregnant in this heat; YIKES did I underestimate this AZ heat.
Again thanks to all who participated in the Wing Ding! Love to all xoxo
