Here is the beginning of what the Gardner Families are hoping is a great career for C.J. Yes, it was hot but we were so ready for all the hard practicing and anticipations to come to a beginning so C.J. and Amber could see the fruit of their labor of love! It was thrilling and a little unpredictable with the first half seeing a lot of rushing and not so much passing. The second half found C.J. wide open twice down by the goal line but the QB didn't seem as confident in throwing to him probably because the line wasn't holding! Then came his first touchdown and we all were ecstatic to say the least (Mimi has very little voice)!!

The "w" was awesome and those who came to cheer: Chris, Sue Ellen, Annalise, Andrew Angle, Trevor, Heather, Cody and Wyatt, Steve and Sue Hackett. We had so much fun then we stayed the night which we woke up to pouring rain on Sunday morn. Thank you to all our families who sent good vibes over to Silver City and we love you all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Scrimmage is done ......

WNMU scrimmaged against Pima Community College on August 29th and did a good job! C.J. did good and got the first-time-in-three-years jitters out of his system. He said it felt good to suit up again and even though he missed a pass overall he looked great. Was mellow after the game but he has his drive and will gain his piss and vinegar attitude again!! WAY TO GO, CHEEJ!!!!

The WNMU 2009 FOOTBALL TEAM !!!

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well the summer vacation has ended and what a wonderful summer it was!! One of the best I've had since I started working at the high school! A wedding, spending time at the happiest place on earth with the cutest dog, going to Laveen and learning to make jam and seeing Harry Potter 6, going to Taylor and seeing G Force and going to a Whipple family reunion and painting our house, cleaning the garage with Verg, C.J. and J.T., going to Silver City to see the cutest apartment in the nation and being with my sweetheart!!! Wow I'm so tired I believe I need to go back to work for a vacation. But seriously I had an unbelievable time with our precious children and grandchildren!!!! Thank you to my family for giving me such a grand time!! LONG LIVE THE SUMMERTIME!!!!!!!!!!!

So here we are and I am trying to pose where I don't look like it is 110 degrees in the shade! Thought all went well until I saw on Shawna's blog this picture. Who do you think is making an appearance in my perfectly posed picture~yup, the Rex-man!! That character who is getting paid to be A character is a character in our picture!! I must admit he and his dad are two very good-looking men and I added the red to the picture. Love you, Rex!!!
