7-0

Jason's opponent Jerome Hatch, He is a nice family man. His wife is super nice. They have great sportsmanship just like I like. I hate when people boo and our fans and his fans never do.

I don't have too many pictures off of my camera, I mostly video taped it but man was I sick. I even threw up in my mouth. I don't see how I can watch all of this but at the same time it's such a thrill. Jerome put a hurtin' on Jason and there were a few times I thought that it was over for Jason, He sure took a beating but in the end won with a choke to Jerome.

It only gets more competitive from here. This was a very important fight for Jason and Jerome was a good guy to beat, This is good for Jason's record. I am so proud of him!!

Once again thanks for all the support from our family and friends it really means a lot to us. We are already counting down the dates to the next one!!

Bubba's 7th birthday

All bubba wanted for is birthday was these STUPID things called Bey Blades, that's what he got..He was one happy boy. He received a total of 7, the same as his age. We enjoyed spanking him and the cake that my friend Brooke made. We have some great friends. Here's to many more years that I hope to have this kids around. I love him.

Caves

End of school project. The kids studied caves in the first grade. I think we might have been the only one that did an ice cave and thanks to my friend Roy for sculpting some crystals out of Styrofoam our ice cave was a huge success, even Superman was there.
My Bubba sure was proud and he received lots of comments and was awarded the most original.

Birthday weekend get away part II

One of the hatch doors

The Russian foxtrot-class submarine- code name " the Scorpion " was so neat to go in to. Jason and I only walked on the top floor and it was 3 stories. I can't imagine a crew of even 50 men on there all crammed in to a small space...and under all that Ocean.
I know that my butt wouldn't fit on this thing!! It was combined with the shower.The cots, some where stacked three on top of each other. Very tight quarters, I could barely get in and out of them. Jason's legs hung off. I wonder what the height and weight requirements was? It's fine, I wouldn't want to go any way!!No I didn't fall, I was trying to lay back so I can appear thinner :) It didn't work. My camera sucks!The kitchen was smaller then a standard closet and your neck would kill I am sure because you would have to huntched over.The ladders to go up and down, we weren't allowed :(The captain's room, again, smaller then a closet. Still blocked off from going down the ladder, no..I wouldn't be able to fit down the ladder.FIRE the torpedo's!!

I had a splendid time just the two of us getting away, it doesn't happen too often. I also don't get to experience the touristy things that often either. I will cherish our time always!!

birthday weekend get away part I

Jason and I took off for a quick little get away to California ( actually my birthday fell on the same weekend as a tournament, go figure...I kind of invited myself right along. Can we say guilt trip?? ) Besides the tournament we visited the beach, cold stone ice cream..my favorite and the The Queen Mary,which I had never heard of until I was google-ing things to do in California. Sp we purchased tour tickets. It was really neat. We were able to wonder and we also took a tour and a ghost tour. Super fun and super touristy too!
A huge, I mean huge gear down in the engine room.

This is one of two pools that were on board the ship, it also took part in the ghost tour, they made the lighting look as if there was water that appeared. cool and creepy. What was interesting as well is that the first class passengers had access to the pool but the 2nd and 3rd class passengers could only swim in it for an hour each day and after that, they would drain the water because I guess there is no way that the first class passengers were going to swim in the same water.
This was our tour guide, I cant remember his name, he was friendly and knew everything. He was great but we had to laugh when we went to sign up for our ghost tour I had them make sure we could get there in time because the tours were so close together so those gentlemen called down to see who our guide would be and they chuckled and put us down for a later time so we wouldn't miss it. They knew that we would be longer.Beautiful tile work in the ball room.The huge chain to lower the anchorThis was a neat and creepy hall way, it went from front to back and was built to sway with the waves. The hall seemed to go on forever!
The life boatsThe beautiful scenery
This was the area at the front of the ship which of course reminded me of Titanic. On the back of the ship they had platforms that you could get married on. There were several people there getting ready for a wedding or discussing weddings.This picture doesn't do it justice but it was to show passengers the route for the days. It was the fastest ship to travel from New York to England and back. Amazing, especially back then.A cute little replica
The inside lay out, this was stretched along a long wall. I wish I would have stood next to the anchor, it was HUGE!Part of the little deck next to the restaurant we ate at.This is more decorative wall, then the stair case down both sides that went from top to bottom. Had I known that you could actually reserve a room on board and stay I so would of for one night. I am afraid that this may be my only ship experience!More engine parts.This was a fighter gun. For some time they turned the ship in to a dilatory ship and hosted several officers as well as passengers. It had carried 800,000 troops over a period of time and traveled over 600,000 miles. Some in fact slept in the bottom of the pool.

There was so much history. I enjoyed it. Once we finished our tours we paid for lunch and enjoyed the view of the ocean while eating.
