Kurtis' first Varsity touchdown

Rams, Hernandez run over BourgadeOctober 02, 2009 11:48 PM


Antelope's Erick Hernandez rushed for 286 yards and scored three touchdowns on 17 carries to lead the Rams to a 34-0 road win over Bourgade Catholic on Friday night.
The 200-plus yard performance was Hernandez's second of the season. The running back chewed up most of his yardage in the third quarter where he broke off two touchdowns on 65 and 70-yard runs. He scored Antelope's first touchdown on a 1-yard run to start the Rams' offense in the first quarter.
The Rams (3-2 overall, 2-0 2A West) also got a strong showing from quarterback Cody Rivera, who threw his first touchdown of the season to Kurtis Skousen for Antelope's second score of the night.
Rivera racked up 101 yards on nine carries of his own, including a 1-yard quarterback sneak.
"We came out and ran the ball very well, and our defense got some big stops and their second shutout of the year," Antelope coach John Blabe said. "Cody stepped up and had a surprise performance for us, but Erick stole the show tonight."

Ariana & Tyler

Ariana & Tyler Here is the cake I made for them.

Yes..I am still here

I know I haven't posted for quite a while,

but I have been working on the house about

8-10 hours a day.

It was a lot easier to post when I was not

working so much.

The house is all painted now... This is Shanna's room.

It took 7 rolls of tape to paint her room.

This is the living room with a faux finish.

This is the big room in the basement.

Most of the rooms are painted this color.

(The color of dirt is the theme for my house.)

Kurtis picked out this color for his room.

This is the medallion Janice found for me on Craig's list.

It will go in the entry way.

And we now have one room tiled.

The counter tops are coming tomorrow,

so I will take pictures of the kitchen, bathrooms

& laundry when they have the tops on and all the

cabinets up.

36 Hours With No Electricity

Inside temp OUTSIDE TEMP

Latest pic of the house

The drywall is all up and we should

start painting on Tuesday.

We are trying to get the air conditioning

going so I don't have to melt while working

on the house. There is still some painting to

do on the outside, and the roofers need

to finish putting on the last of the tiles.

We keep plugging away and hope you

can come "Trick or Treating" at our new home.

Roof Tiles

Mark & I went round and round about

what the color of the roof tiles would be.

I wanted a gray blend, but he wanted brown.

He won, but I do have to admit they

blend in very well with the landscape,

and I think they look great.

I'm glad to have one more step on the house getting finished.

Too pink...

After looking at the color for a week,

I decided the dormers were too pink,

So now we have "Trusty Tan"

Progress on the House

The electrical, hvac, & plumbing are are roughed in now.

They put the stucco on the dormers,

but I'm not sure if I like the color.

It seems a little pink for me.

I'll see what it looks like when they get

the roof tiles on and then decide if it

looks less pink.

What do you think?

We had to paint the fascia befor the roof tiles.
Jack was not too excited to paint the peaks.
I had to borrow a ladder from
Children of Light to get one tall enough.

Lines & Lundgreen Roofing
came out this morning and started
putting on the tar paper and battons.

House

Here is what the house looks like now.Back
Front

We are working on wiring the house right now.
Steven Norton is working on that along with

Dave Brown & Jack Baker.
Tanner (brother-in-law) came down with his crew and
did the plumbing, heating and air conditioning.
We are still waiting on the windows to come.
Now the main thing we need to do is to select
the color for the roof and outside.

Sammy

We got to have Sammy with us for a few days last month.

He was a lot of fun to have around. "Playing" with Paisley while I got my hair done.
