If you're happy and you know it....

clap your hands!!! Well, we are certainly clapping our hands over here after Hunter's team soared to victory yesterday with a 39-14 win over the Buccaneers. I had dropped my zoom lens several weeks ago and it had to be sent off for repairs, but I finally got it back on Friday and was able to get some great pictures this weekend at the game. All age levels of the organization Hunter plays with won on Saturday, making this our second sweep of the season. Good stuff! Uncle Jim and cousin Chloe came to see the game and then hung out at our house for a while afterwards. I can't believe I didn't snap any pictures of them, but Jim said they would be back to see the final game of the season in two weeks, so I'll be sure to get some pics then. Next week is our bye week, and then in two weeks we will have our final regular season game. There is still a chance that Hunter's team could go to the playoffs, so we are crossing our fingers that all of the right cards fall into place. The coaches and kids on this team have worked extremely hard this season and have continued to give 100% in spite of others trying to bring this team down and shatter their morale. They definitely deserve a shot at the playoffs. And honestly, we could not have asked for a better group of parents this year. There are some amazing kids on Hunter's team, and that is mostly in part to their amazing parents. We have truly been blessed to get to know these families and have them not only be a part of our lives, but also our children's lives.

Way to go Coach Roger!

Okay, so let's get back to the "If You're Happy and You Know It..." song. Wes began his new inside position with Verizon a few weeks ago. As we were watching one of our favorite shows, "The Office", he told me that his new office is a lot like Dunder Mifflin. I went into hysterics when he started telling me about the "Friday Song". Apparently the managers walk around to different areas of the office to get everyone to join in with them as they sing, "If you're happy that it's Friday clap your hands...." then, "If you're happy that it's Friday stomp your feet", then, "If you're happy that it's Friday say 'I am!'", finally ending with, "If you're happy that it's Friday, do all three!" I was totally picturing Wes sitting amongst the cast of "The Office", joining in with Michael and Dwight clapping his hands and shouting, "I AM!!!". LOL!

Okay, and now for a few more funnies. I have been writing down quotes from my Microbiology professor during lecture. I must preface this by saying that my professor is brilliant. He has several degrees and is soooo incredibly smart. However, he's kind of socially awkward and goofy and his favorite word is "utterly". My favorite quotes from him all are in regards to sex, and the lack thereof in the world of microbiology. Definitely some points to ponder though.

"This is not true sex. It's like mating redwood trees with elephants." (as we were discussing endospore formation)

"You could have giraffes mating with snails. That's how bizarre bacterial conjugation is."
