Why??

Why does Christmas have to be so stressful?? It should be happy and fun and Christmas day usually is but, every day leading up to it just seems to be non stop STRESS!!

Another Confession

I am a car jammer!! I love to crank up the tunes and sing at the top of my lungs while I'm driving. I don't even care what kind of music it is. If I'm in the car it's on and it's LOUD. I've almost blown the speakers in every car that I have ever owned including my current soccar mom special. So if you ever come up on a silver Honda Pilot with the speakers blaring there is a good chance it's me just rockin out by myself!

Tubby Time

This little munchkin LOVES to take a bath. If she wants a bath she will jump in the tub and sit there until we give her a bath. I swear I own the only dog in the world who will ask for a bath. When she gets out she has to have Taylor wrap her up in a towel and hold her. Spoiled little booger.

Our Christmas Tree

Finally some pics of our tree. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!

All the ornaments ready to go on the tree

Taylor put up this cute little tree in our bedroom so that I could fall asleep with the tree on.

The team captins

Roman was so concerned when one of the players got injured

I realized that I never got around to posting pictures of Taylor coaching this year. While I do enjoy Taylor coaching I'm very happy to say that the season is over and I couldn't be happier. I love seeing Taiylor coach and be in his element. The kids on the team are adorable and their parents are awesome an so supportive of the coaches and their wives. But, by the end of the season I'm pretty much over the coaching. It's so time consuming and hard for me to invest my time with my husband for something that in the end doesn't mean as much to me as it does Taylor. Still  the season was fun while it was here.

Too Early??

Some may think that it is too early to be getting ready for Christmas but, not in my house. My tree is going up as we speak (pics to come soon). I know that it may be bordering on insanity but hey... it's my house right?

My Addiction

My name is Jessica Riley and I am a Diet Coke-aholic. It is my crack. I drink so much Diet Coke. In my attempts to shed a few pounds and kick my habbit I have quit cold turkey. I haven't had a Diet Coke in a month. That was until tonight. All it took was one bad day and I caved. Oh well.... Maybe the second time around will be better.

Obsessed Super Nerd

Ok I know that I'm an obsessed super nerd but, I got my tickets to go see New Moon last night and I'm SOOO excited!! The midnight show was already sold out so myself, Kelsey, my cousin Laura, and Taylor are going to the showing at 2:40 in the morning!! Have I mentioned that I have the greatest husband in the world. He is getting up in the middle of the night to take me to see this movie. He's such a trooper. I'm seriously counting down the days!

Thomas Turned 21

Last Tuesday my little bro turned 21! I told him that I couldn't believe he was that old. I mean I remember when my mom came home and told my dad she was pregnant with Thomas. How could he be 21 already? I told him that it made me feel old and he asked how old I was. When I told him that I was going to be 27 in January he said " Dang Jess! You're almost 30. You better start having kids before you can't anymore." Gee thanks Tom! As if I wasn't feeling old enough as it was.

Sick!! BLAH!!

At this point in my life I have come to expect some things. For example, with my weak immune system, thanks to mono, I have come to expect that once a year I am going to be laid up for about a weak with a nasty viral infection. Something that makes me wish I was dead but medically they can do nothing for. This years lovely illness came over my anniversary. Yes I was laid up for an entire weak over my anniversary this year. Since that has come and gone I thought I was in the clear. Still due for some fall colds but nothing too serious. WRONG!! I am currently feeling my second round of nasty viral crud this year. Throats killing me, body aches, head hurts, runny nose, freezing one minute and sweating buckets the next. I am seriously so over being sick this year. If anyone has a miracle over the counter or at home remedy let me know. I swear I've tried them all but at this point I'm willing to try anything. I can't miss any more work. I'm planning on spending my new years on a warm Mexican beach and if I keep getting sick I'm never going to get there :(
