Ha, Ha, Ha..Oh Superman

We are now two-thirds the way through this fight and we have some sad news to report. You hope that the allegations are not true and that something like this will not rear its ugly head in your sport, but it has. At the end of the eight round one of the fighters tested positive for speed. We are not at liberty to tell you which one, but SHE showed 52 and the legal limit is 40. Sure there is going to be a fine, but she will not lose her license and will be able to continue to fight. Some other oddities between rounds eight and nine was Ken running back to the dressing room in Denver and shipping two priceless packages to Gma and Gpa L. Ken would not elaborate on what was in the packages besides saying, "A dance with Cinderella" and "butterfly kisses". On the way back to the ring you could visibly notice that Kens eyes were red and puffy. We hope that he has not fallen into the grasp of performance enhancement drugs and he said it was from watching "My Girl". In round eight both fighters looked good and it was a well reffed round by Kendra. She called it like she saw it and was more than fair to all parties involved. In Kens corner he had two huge supporters who will be dearly missed these next two rounds, but before leaving they told him, "Ken let the dogs out, ruff, ruff, ruff" (Just don't use any other names, true that L) Ken did receive a boost at the beginning of the round when the Breester abducted him and took him to dinner as a belated fathers day gift. Theresa is looking strong this week as she did last week. Last week she was given her midterm report and she is doing very well. They would love for her to come back and work their after she completes her last eight weeks. Ken is looking like popeye without his spinach. Ken looks like he has no wind beneath his wings. We shall see how these two fighters do now that it is just the two of them. I think we are going to see a lot of hugging and dancing in the middle of the ring from these two. Theresa may tie Ken up in the ropes and....well this is a family blog so I will leave the rest up to you. At night when you go out and look at the moon, know that I will be looking also and I hope to see the reflection of your face smiling at me.

one and won

That one / won was for you OPA. Round seven was not a very exciting round. Ken is showing signs of fatigue eventough he was off from work this round. He tried the training habits of Rocky Balboa in Rocky III and the karate kid in going old school in his training by prepping the house for painting when he prepared for this fight. Sand on, Sand off ladder balancing boy! The weather co-operated with Ken on the first two days and then some nasty cold front came down from where else, Canada! Forty degrees for a high in June and the mountains to the north got up to 15 inches of snow. As Ken says, the only two good things that ever came out of Canada is hockey and a very precious niece. Enough mushy talk lets get back to the fight. Theresa has been a step behind this round and seems to be at a slight disadvantage. She did not have any animals to take care of this week and was able to find the time and energy to go workout between rounds. Ken WON this round by bobbing, ducking, and weaving around everything Theresa threw at him. Watching Mikaela is not hard work, but keeping everybody fed and entertained is a cross hook that Theresa cannot defend. If both of these fighters are still standing at the end of this fight, then there will be no loser. It will all come down to how the judges score each round to determine the winner of this war. At the halfway point Ken has managed to stop the early bleeding inflicted by Theresa and Theresa has been able to dance her way back into the fight with some nifty combinations. The ultimate challenge comes for both fighters in the ninth and tenth round when we will be near the end of the fight and both fighters will be unleashing everything in their arsenal with no support from their respective corners. We will finally see what these two fighters are made of when they go head to head on their own. Theresa may gain an advantage here since she will have had more experience of being on her own in the previous rounds. In the other corner, Ken may be posting more blogs, going golfing more, or completing the many jobs he needs to get done around the house. In the final two rounds be sure to vote for who you think has WON this epic battle.

Hard copies to come out soon! What a darn good looking family:)!! Love to all!

Home for the Weekend

I am glad to say really there is not to much to report. My fieldwork in Thermopolis is going good and we are heading into week 4. YEAH! Needless to say Ken is holding down the fort nicely and believe it or not I have no complaints. During the week after I get off from my site I go to the hot springs pool for and aerobics workout two nights, then I use the facilities wellness gym and work out two days a week. This is how I keep myself from getting depressed from being away from the family. I have learned so much in the following 3 weeks and really realized that even with all the academic education I am not ready to be on my own just yet.

Liz so far this summer has hung out with friends and started in the new youth ministries at church. She is loving this. This current week she is on a missions trip in South Dakota (Wounded Knee Reservation). They do not have phone service there except for emergencies. Guess what kind of call we got......yep it would be my kid who got the flu:) She is doing fine and has stuck it out but they made her call just we had a heads up. Liz also got a letter in the mail just before leaving stating she was accepted into another year of Casper Youth Orchestra playing her trombone. This was awesome!!

Mikaela has spent the summer lounging around the house. She goes to the movies with Riley and Christy once a week and had a sleepover with them this last week. She spent this week with dad trying to get the exterior house painted. This is not an easy task living in WY where the wind blows 350 days of the year. She has been a big help. Mikaela has even admitted to missing her big sister this week. Gymnastics continues and both girls head to Grandma and Grandpa Lights house on the 22nd to spend two weeks with them and their aunt and uncle and baby cousin Olivia.

Ken had the week off this week and as stated tried painting the house. I will keep you posted on this job.

I hope everyone is doing well...as the Anthony household still stands and no knock outs just yet!!!!

For whom the bell tolls

Fooouuurrr!.............Everything is white with little colored stars dancing around....Fiiiivvvveee!.......What? This cannot be. Ken is on the mat and the ref is counting him down. Get up KEN!!! Siixx!........Ken grabs the bottom rope and tries to pull himself up, but his legs feel like two cooked pasta noodles. He shakes his head to clear the cobwebs as the ref asks him, " Are you going to burn the ribs tonight?" "What?? Come again?" He says, " Are you ready to fight?" "Uh,yes, I am ready to fight." Obviously Theresa's added support in her corner between the fourth and fifth round did her a world of good. Ken lost the fifth round when he let his guard down and torched the ribs. She unleashed a flurry of punches to his head like she was beating a rug. When the dust cleared Ken was staggering wondering where he was and it was to late to defend himself. Then she unleashed the knock down blow to his cheek that cut a gash into his manhood. During the graduation melee, comments were made about Ken and Ken would say that this was a low blow, but that would open the door to a ton of inappropriate jokes. We are now in the midst of the sixth round and both fighters are seeming tentative. Neither one wants to make a mistake so they are both dancing around with a few jabs here and there. Theresa has Toby in her corner this week and he is giving her an added boost. The hospital that she is at in Thermopolis is giving her ample opportunities to prove herself and she is proving herself to be up to the challenge. Ken has the added support of Opa in his corner this round and the last. He will head out on Friday and then Ken will be off next week to be with Mikaela. Liz will be heading up to S. Dakota on a mission trip. It looks like Ken will have the upper hand in the next round and both fighters will be challenged in rounds nine and ten when the girls will be with Gma and Gpa in Missouri. Though the bell came close to tolling for Ken in this last round it appears that things have equalled themselves out once again and that it is any ones bout to be one.
