Powder Puff Princes (or Princesses?)

With BHS Homecoming being last week, the Klimie boys found themselves as part of the celebration festivites. Austin has had the pleasure of participating in the Powder Puff Football game in the past years as a cheerleader, but, as Andrew is a Freshman, this was his first year to enjoy making a fool of himself show off his cheering skills.

~~~

First, we will highlight the Junior class of 2011. They were the winners of the cheer-off! The Junior class always sports purple for the powder puff game, and these boys followed the dress code and supported their team! David Sloan pulled off a stunning "Joe Dirt" look, making us all hope and pray that the mullet never makes a come-back...

R to L: Levi, Austin, Mitch, Tino, and David

~~~

Heading onto the field for their team cheer, the boys showed their team unity by joining hands. Tino didn't get the message...~~~
Their cheer started out with the five of them hiding behind their class flag...
~~~
Employing multiple manuvers--the mount, the flag run, and the, umm, whatever Tino is doing.~~~
And the Finale! Go Juniors!~~~
The Freshman Cheer Squad, Class of 2013, gathered at our house before the powder puff game to "make" their uniforms. Freshman are always assigned the color brown--turd brown, that is. Well, apparently these guys found brown a little too hard to write on with Sharpie markers, so they used white as their main background color. Andrew came to me before the "uniform production" and asked for a bra to borrow. Chalk that up to "Conversations I Never Thought I Would Have With My Son". I asked him if it was for under his shirt--he assured me, though, that they would be wearing the bras on top of their shirts! Good grief! Which bra that I owned did I want half of the student body to see? Did I want everyone to know my small bra size??? Well, after much debate, I found one for him, only to discover that he decided at the last minute not to wear it--Thank GOODNESS!!!!

Front: Carson, Andrew, Neil, Kianna

Middle: Tim, Macky, Isaiah

Back: Elliott, Jacob, Keenan(thanks to Linda M. for sharing her picture!)
~~~
Striking a pose for the end of their cheer--the Freshman cheer wasn't quite as organized as the Juniors, but it did win them a third place recognition! I will say that with "Foghorn" Klimek on the squad, they could be heard throughout the field! (another thanks to Linda for this pic!)

(note: that is NOT his mother's bra!) ~~~

The Freshman Squad discussing cheer strategy...

The Freshman Girls lined up to receive the kick.~~~
Cheering on their Freshman team!~~~
We had a fun night of flag football!

The freshman played the seniors first and the freshman lost.

Then, the juniors played the sophomores and the juniors won.

The final game was the juniors vs the seniors. It was a close game, but the seniors came out the winners. Perhaps we should sign up some of those girls for our Varsity football team!

Check Out This New Grill!

Another Klimie has gotten a new look!

Just this morning, he looked like this....

~~~

...and by noon, he was a whole new man with a whole new look!
Andrew will be sporting his new grill for about 2 years--
Good thing he looks so stunning with them!

Back on the Hardwood

Abby is back on the court! Basketball season has begun once again, and Abby is playing now in the Rice Lake Girls Basketball City League. She had her first game on Saturday. Her team, the Badgers, won by a score of 28 to 14!

~~~

Here is Abz playing tough defense...

~~~

Movin' so fast at point-guard, she is just a blur!
~~~
D-ing up!

~~~
Abby will be playing in the Rice Lake League for 6 more weeks, and then will be going strong with her Barron Basketball League.

Gotta' Love Basketball!

Happy Second Birthday, Princess Diamond Sophia!

On Tuesday, September 22, Sophie celebrated her SECOND birthday, or her 14th birthday--depending on if you count in human years or in dog years. We count in human years around here.

~~~

Here are the Klimie Kids with Jack and Sophie to celebrate Sophie's Big Day...

(Sophie is the smiley one--Jack was jealous of all of the attention she got!) ~~~
A trip down Memory Lane...

Sophie at 8 weeks--isn't she sweet?!~~~
Sophie's First Birthday Party ~~~
Of course, Abz made Sophie one of her famous doggie birthday cakes to celebrate Sophie's Big Day. Sophie LOVED her cake!

~~~
Somebody else eyed Sophie eating her cake with GREEN-EYED JEALOUSY. He looked VERY pathetic while Sophie was enjoying her birthday delights...

~~~
...so Sophie invited him to help her eat her cake! What a good daughter!

~~~
After the cake, it was time for presents. This was Sophie's FAVORITE present (and Abby's, too). The "Chuck-it" is a big hit at our house with the two girls. Abby throws the ball with the Chuck-it, Sophie fetches the ball and brings it back, Abby taps the ground and Sophie drops the ball for Abz, and they repeat, and repeat, and repeat. You get the picture!

~~~
Sophie had a great time at her birthday party, but "Jealous Jack" just couldn't stomach all of the special treatment Sophie received for her Special Day. Just look at the expression of disgust on his face when Sophie got yet another present...

He comes by his nickname of "JJ" (Jealous Jack) honestly!

Happy Second Birthday, Princess Diamond Sophia!

Soccer Star Pics

I am once again behind in posting soccer pics on the Chronicles. So, if you have been following the BHS Soccer team on http://shanassportsshots.blogspot.com, you will probably recognize these action shots of the boys. If not, enjoy!

What's Up With THAT?!?!?

As you all know, I try to look for something funny wherever I go. Sometimes those funny things find ME!

~~~

The other night when I was downloading pictures from the soccer game against Cumberland, I found something funny in this picture I took of Austin...

~~~

When I went back and looked at the uncropped photo, I saw these four sidelined Cumberland players in various stages of "adjustment".
Austin and I had a good laugh over that one!

The Thimble-Sized Bladder Strikes Again!

The Legend of the Thimble-Sized Bladder continues...

To update those of you who may be just tuning in, the Thimble-Sized Bladder has struck at the most inopportune moments throughout time. For example, on the playground at recess in kindergarten. So, the answer was to just empty The Bladder right there on the playground! Or, that time on the cross-country trail when The Bladder was full-to-bursting and had to be emptied while running in the woods. Or, during the MANY basketball games in the huddles when a certain someone made a mad-dash for the hallway to empty the Thimble-Sized Bladder during a time-out. Or the time in the car when The Bladder couldn't wait until the next stop and had to be emptied into a discarded beverage bottle. I could go on and on and on....

But I won't.

Instead, I will share with you, photographic evidence that The Thimble-Sized Bladder has struck once again. This time, in the middle of an intense soccer game...

Thank goodness for porta-potties!

Squirrel Sightings

The Squirrel.

A busy, industrious creature.

She made a "Family Basketball Cake" for us to enjoy...

~~~
Complete with all of our basketball jersey numbers!

The Squirrel is adept at camouflaging itself in many different surroundings.

She has engaged in the many different dress-up days for Homecoming week. Here is a sampling...

"Superhero Day"

"Nerd Day"

She's a busy Squirrel!
