8 point !!!!

Here is a picture of Shawn's deer that he shot tonight!! Wheeee finally some horns!! He is still on the hunt for the 12 point he had on his game cam.. only time will tell!

Wii

Well the boys got a Wii game system for christmas. They couldn't help but invite my moma over to play. For years upon years she has played various video games, such as the Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Xbox, etc while all the time moving the controller in the way she was going. EX- If her car was driving to the left, her whole body and controller moved to the left. So this new Wii System was PERFECT for her!! Although she didn't have any idea that I was recording, she had a good time playing Adam in boxing! Here is the video! Hope you enjoy and have a great laugh!

Laughter

I am sitting here in the living room writing this. In the background I hear laughter. I was just about to get onto Adam and William , because it sounds like my house is being torn down, and I hear the most sweetest sound ever, LAUGHING They are in their bedroom playing and LAUGHING! I know this sounds crazy, but here at our house, their seems to be more fighting, etc, than laughing. Shawn has taken Andrew to the hunting camp and adam and william are here with me, (I am studying for the all dreaded Anatomy and Phisiology test tommorow). I LOVE to hear LAUGHTER! I had to document this, because with such busy schedules, I tend to forget the little things!

William is 5

These 5 years have FLOWN by!!! A former church member told me when Andrew was born, to cherish every minute because time flys! Well she was right!! I cannot believe that my baby will be 5 on Nov 4! It only seemed like yesterday he was born!!! I guess Katrina had a helping hand in erasing most of 2 years! I hope the next 5 years are as easy as these past 5 have been. William is by far been the easiest to raise. I think that is due to patience and getting OLDER!!
Here are Williams top 5

1-He absolutely loves sucking his thumb! (We are going to the orthodontist to take care of this). In his ultrasound he was sucking away, and he hasn't stopped since. Even hot sauce doesn't bother him!

2-He would much rather go to the hunting camp (or anywhere his daddy is) than go to school (even if that means missing a party or something)

3-VERY PICKY EATER!!!! Give him cereal for breakfast, sandwich for lunch and whatever we aren't having for dinner!!!!

4-Loves going to Samuels house (i think because he likes freaking his mimi out when he jumps from the top of the play house that is 12ft in the air!!)

5-Loves to learn! Give that boy a dry erase board and marker and he goes to town!!!

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY WILLIAM!!!!!!

Andrew Turns 10!!!

I cannot believe that Andrew is 10 years old!! I am feeling OLD now!! It seems like only yesterday I was pregnant with him!!
Here are Andrews 10:
1-He has a heart of gold
2-Keeps a very MESSY room
3-Likes school a lot
4-Likes to go hunting, but doesn't want to shoot a gun yet!!
5-Plays guitar really well!
6-A great football player
7-Accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior this year!!!
8-Very competive
9-Loves broccoli
10-Wants to be JUST like his daddy!

Old friends

This week has been amazing! Shawn and I have caught up with 2 old friends! One was our best man in our wedding , we haven't seen him since 1999!!! He was Shawns' best friend in college. The other is the one responsible for getting shawn into church! Thanks GATOR! It is always nice to talk with them and catch up! DON'T LET 10 YEARS GO BY AGAIN!!!!

A not so friendly friend in my laundry room!

Imagine this.... your laundry room is detached from your house.... the door somehow stays open most all the time... You go to the laundry room to switch the load of clothes and you hear something.... you know that that means there is a RAT in there. It is overhead..... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH So you scream and run inside....... your lovely husband says "huh???" you say, there is a rat in the laundry room.... ok, he says... what are you kidding me??? get out there. o, you will be alright , he states. Um,,,, I see IT!!!!!!!!!!!! So your husband gets up, ever so slowly, goes and gets your older sons BB gun and proceeds outside. He aims @ what you guess is air, because you cannot see it, and the BB pings and hits him in the head!!!! Then you see the rat! Down the wall it went! So your smart husband puts a sticky trap (made for mice) in the line of where the friend has been seen running in hopes of it sticking to it so he may shoot it! The friend is smarter than that and leaves (we never saw it again last night!). Meanwhile your clothes never make it out of the wash. As I type this my laundry has yet to be switch and probably smell really good by now!

PeeWee Football

Andrew is #24 on the purple team

Adam is #58 on the blue team

Andrew and Adam have been playing peewee football these past couple of weeks. Here are some pictures of them.

Blessings

I have been convicted lately of taking things for granted. My prayers are that the Lord will open my eyes to all that I do have and not what I don't have. Life can get pretty hectic and with being in school and all, I have become overwhelmed in all that is going on and have become complacent in my walk with the Lord. I am going to make that my focus this week!

FOOTBALL IS HERE!!

So here we are again!! Football season and I LOVE IT. I especially love my AUBU
RN TIGERS!!!!! whoop whoop!! CHECK THEM OUT HERE http://auburntigers.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/aub-m-footbl-body.html

IKEY!!

In the famous (well almost) words of the late Crocodile Hunter, IKEY!!!! Can you believe that one hurricane could stretch its damage from the southern part of the U.S. to the northern part? My dad received an email from the group in Michigan, who did work on their house, he said that a 30 block radius had flood because of the Kalamazoo River overflowing, because of ole ike. Also, our church is collecting items (non-perishables) that NOAA will be picking up. These need to be to the church,no later than noon MONDAY! Come on people, The NATION helped us when Katrina hit, Can we GIVE BACK!!! Also pray for Kalamazoo, MI, the area that was flooded was the low income part, we need to pray about getting them help too. Tootles!

Prayer

Keep Texas in your prayers this week. They have alot of cleaning up to do.
