Hey everyone,

OK, here is what went on last week in the Kellam's world. SOCCER! enough said! talk to you all again soon!

Just kiddin - although it is the truth! Both teams won this weekend!!!! The Giants (Chase's team) played awesome looked like the old Giants were back - I sure hope they stick around, since they only have 2 games left this season and need to win both! Paige's team (Hot Shots) played great also, they didn't have much competition this weekend and won 6-0, Paige scored 2 goals so we were all pretty excited about that! It is amazing to see how much both kids have improved over the years - Chase's ball handling skills and just general knowledge of the game is unbelievable and our little Paigie is soooooooo aggressive and doesn't let anyone push her or any of her teammates around, she quite verbal, can't imagine who she gets that from :) They are both doing well in school (THANK GOODNESS!) so not a lot to report there.

I forgot to mention in my last blog that Scotty was here for a couple of days!! It was really great to be able to spend some time with him, of course it wasn't quite long enough. He really seems to be enjoying his new job, but would be nice to have him closer to home.

Courtnie, Jon and the babies, that are not such babies anymore :( are doing great. Troy will start kindergarten in August (that is just crazy!!!) and Belle is still the little princess and shoe lover (takes after her Nina!!) Court is still managing her store (Nine West) and Jon is still in the elevator business so... all is well there!

Scott has been keeping busy with more motorcycle and boat work then he can handle sometimes but seems to be quite content. He really loves his new found freedom and ability to spend more time with the kiddos!

Me, just working, getting ready for FIESTA (San Antonio's biggest party), running kids everywhere and just livin life!

Hope everyone is doing GREAT!!

Life is short!

Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably

and never regret anything that made you smile

Hi Everyone,


It's time for a quick Kellam update!!


Well, once again we had an extremely busy week and even busier weekend!

As I mentioned in my last blog, Paige was going to take the math TAKS test that day - we do not have the results back yet but, she feels like she did really well!! (I am sure she did!!) the rest of the week was somewhat normal with soccer practice 2 days a week for both kiddos (luckily they are on the same days and at the same place - for now anyway!!), fighting over getting homework done, getting everyone fed, in the shower, telling them to brush their teeth 12 times (and still not totally convinced that they did), and getting everyone (including myself - haha like that would ever happen!!) in bed at somewhat of a decent hour. So in other words "Livin Life"

Saturday was a full day of soccer, soccer and oh yeah soccer - LOL and some how in between all that soccer Paige and I managed to work (well, I worked, Paige played) at the school carnival, while the boys (Scott and Chase) made the trek to Austin for Chase's (yep you guessed it!) soccer game. Paige made two awesome crosses (for you non-soccer people that means kicked the ball across the field to an open player) that both resulted in goals or GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! if you watch soccer on TV!! Scott said that Chase also played well and thankfully both teams won!!

Sunday was more laid back (Thank Goodness!) With both kids spending the night away on Saturday - we slept in (you know until 8:15 a.m.) I washed the cars and Scott worked on my dad's boat. He took it for a test run out to the lake which, did not go so well! He had to swim it in! Never a good sign when he comes home soaking wet!! LOL Did manage to watch the SPURS lose to the Lakers (ugh!!!) Sunday afternoon, sure hope they will pull it together for the playoffs!!

Well, it was back to work and school today to start what I am sure will be yet another crazy week.

Hope everyone is good and your taxes are done!!!

Life is short!

040808 Update

Good morning all!! Just a quick update on the going ons with the Kellams in SA :

Today is math TAKS for Paige - so believe it or not I actually made breakfast this morning (eggs, hashbrowns and cinnamon rolls) for those of you that know me well know this is HUGE!! ( LOL) Of course she loaded the hashbrowns with ketchup and eat those first and then only had room for half a cinnamon roll and ONE bite of eggs - little potato lover, she is her mother's daughter!!

Chase played in his first golf tournament yesterday! Not sure who was more excited Chaseor Scott! It was a nine hole, shot gun start with over 100 7th grade boys, he didn't have a fantastic start but managed to find his groove and finished tied for 3rd!!!!!! The hardest part of the day use watching Scott NOT be allowed to coach - you might as well cut his tongue off!!!! It was actually pretty funny and I am sure that Chase enjoyed the silence for a change!

I know this first one is short but, I am off to work - YES, I actually have a job that I have to go to! It is only part time (bookkeeping for TX Literacy Resources) but it gets me out of the house and gives me money for SHOES, and I always need more shoes.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!!

Until next time remember:
