NCS

Getting ready to go see the baby boy.

He's been in Newark since Thursday night. Yesterday he wrestled SIX times. His record 5-1. The Deer Valley boy beat him again. (He won 1st in league) The score was 8-4. No pin.

I don't know exactly what time they finished because he talked to Dad and his battery was dying on his phone, so I didn't get to talk to him, but i think it was pretty late (10ish)

That's a darn long day!

Good luck today, kiddo!
We are very proud of you!

Stimulus Bill

Shortly after class, an economics student approaches his economics professor and says, "I don't understand this stimulus bill. Can you explain it to me?"

The professor replied, "I don't have any time to explain it at my office, but if you come over to my house on Saturday and help me with my weekend project, I'll be glad to explain it to you." The student agreed.

At the agreed-upon time, the student showed up at the professor's house. The professor stated that the weekend project involved his backyard pool.

They both went out back to the pool, and the professor handed the student a bucket. Demonstrating with his own bucket, the professor said, "First, go over to the deep end, and fill your bucket with as much water as you can." The student did as he was instructed.

The professor then continued, "Follow me over to the shallow end, and then dump all the water from your bucket into it." The student was naturally confused, but did as he was told.

The professor then explained they were going to do this many more times, and began walking back to the deep end of the pool.

The confused student asked, "Excuse me, but why are we doing this?"

The professor matter-of-factly stated that he was trying to make the shallow end much deeper.

The student didn't think the economics professor was serious, but figured that he would find out the real story soon enough.

However, after the 6th trip between the shallow end and the deep end, the student began to become worried that his economics professor had gone mad. The student finally replied, "All we're doing is wasting valuable time and effort on unproductive pursuits. Even worse, when this process is all over, everything will be at the same level it was before, so all you'll really have accomplished is the destruction of what could have been truly productive action!"

The professor put down his bucket and replied with a smile,

"Congratulations. You now understand the stimulus bill."


*Thanks, Stamp.

You'd fall over and get pinned too!




If you had this beast on your back! The white singlet is what you get when you're in the championship round. They're not too flattering, but still kinda cool that they got to show off being in the finals! I am going to miss watching my little He-man wrestling!!

Way to go, Liberty!




These boys won first place in the team duals for the League. Good job, guys!

My guy is the one with the HUGE dimples that can be seen for miles :)

It's that time again


I'm a little sheltered. I knew it was coming up, but didn't realize the rest of California was already blooming! I would have been taking road trips!!!



Sorry for the raindrops on the windows and the blurry trees. Hubby was driving!

This is my absolute favorite time of the year.....other than when the cherries are harvested :)
