SOCCER!!!!!

Well here we are again. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. We have just started the fall season of AYSO soccer and I am coaching again. My husband/assistant coach, has decided not to help me out but a good friend of mine is going to. I am not so sure she is as pumped about it as I am but she is getting there.
We are doing U-8 this season because our girls have turned 6 and they cannot play on U-6 anymore. The thing is we are a co-ed team meaning there are girls and boys on our team but there are only 3 boys and 9 girls. This means that our cute ,sweet little girls will be going aginst 6 and 7 year old boys. I figure we will have a bit of loosing or some tough girls for next season. The great thing is all those girls are quite aggresive and dont mind getting after the ball. GO _________ ! We are trying to get a team name and we will be chosing one in the next week or so. I will be sure to tell all here.
We had a very short practice yesterday. We had a small interuption that caused us to call it. LIGHTENING! Now it raining but we plan to start up again on Thursday. YIPEE!!!!

This week in my life!

This is my baby girl and her very best friend. We had the pleasure of going to the rodeo on Friday night. The kids really enjoyed this. They are really sweet together. Just before hitting the rodeo we had a tailgate party at the park just outside the rodeo. We all decided to make a whole evening of it!

This is all the very interested children watching the bullriding. This was the safest place for them ironically, because one of the kids actually fell off the bleachers. She had a terrible scrape on her back but recovered well. I hope school is this interesting. Guess we will know in a few weeks!

This is my brother-in-law just as he figured out that he had gotten some Bristol Motor Speedway tickets this weekend. It is a night race and those are his favorite to attend. He had surgery on his eyes this year. He had cataracts really bad and he went finally, and had them removed. Now he can see really good. So as a reward for his birthday and for being sober, he got tickets for this race. What a look huh? He was absolutely blown away!

Here is his baby. This dog is ridicules with him. She loves him and is so loyal to him. I believe by this picture, that she thinks she may be a bit human!

This is Hooch! He is a golden lab. He is clearly beautiful and anyone who knows the breed knows exactly what I am about to say. He is a pain in my butt! The dog is loyal that he followed us to school, came right on in, and then just layed beside me as to say to every one " I belong to THIS person". So embarrassing! I went to the dollar store and bought a tie out chain and coller for him. The first day he broke or chewed off the coller and by today he has broken his chain. Obedience Training!?! I just love his playfulness and loyalty (except visits to the school) and his personality but Dang he is a pest. Wish me luck! This picture was actually taken on our trampoline. The funny part of this is that loyalty thing. I was on the trampoline and here he came right up there. I did figure out that if I was jumping he would lay down! Yes I agree its a bit mean but I didn't want him licking on me, and he survived to lick, follow, and jump up on me again.

Prayer changes things!

This is my mother in law. With my father in law and my daughter. About 8 years ago she had went to the dr to get glasses and had a very thourough eye exam and during the exam her eye dr found something on her optic nerve. He sent her to a neuro surgeon to find out what it was. They told her it was a tumor. It was not cancer but unless it came off she would have irreversable vision loss so away they went to have it removed. They decided to have the surgery done without going through her head. So they went up through her mouth, broke and moved her nose, and progressed through to her brain that way. Yes it was as horrible for as it sounds and she was in a lot of pain for a long time but most of the tumor was gone. Since, she has to follow up every 6 months with mri to be certian it did not come back.
Almost 6 months ago she went back for her regular mri and it was back! They decided to check every 3 months to see how fas it was growing. They decided that it needed to come off again but now they have what is called a "cyber-knife". So they started getiing prepaired to do this treatment. Now they have gotten all the work done to start treatment on her. She is clostrfobic ( I cannot spell so just sound it out! lol)really bad and they have to comver your face and basicly hold ya down for almost and hour for each treatment. SO naturally she is scared to death. We want all the prayers for her we can get so feel free to help us out with that.
She went today for her first of 5 treatments and she did ok but she is still not compfortable with this and probably will not ever be but she did ok. I will try to keep you posted on how she does all week. They have to do 5 treatments and she has finished only one.
Pray for her and her family as she is hoping the "CK" will get all of it so they wont have to do the horrible surgery again. Prayer really does change things. Maybe GOd didnt want it to be so bad He just want us to ask for courage sometimes!

THE CELL PHONE VS: THE BIBLE!

THE CELL PHONE vs. THE BIBLE


I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phones?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to children as gifts?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?
What if we upgraded to get the latest version?
This is something to make you go hmmmm where is my Bible?
Unlike our cell phones, we don't ever have to worry about our bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill! wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phones?

Still catching up on last week!

Are they not just adorable? This picture was taken at the big 6th b-day party. I just love seeing my child being all social and all. This is her bff on the left and her fav. cousin on the right. She ran herself silly on that park. I was so pleased with her party and I know she was too. I thought this picture was too cute not to post.

This is the newest member of our family. This little man and his mother are very near and dear to me and all my family. I cannot stress enough how this beautiful child and his mommy are very life changing, encourageing, inspiring to me they are. He is just the prettiest little boy I have ever seen and even though I am a bit partial, he still is very much a cutie. In 15 years he will be a super heart breaker. Course, his mommy is a beautiful woman too. Ilove you HM and RM!

This is among many things a true life miracle in my familys life. They are just adorable. This is my siter and her husband. He is at almost 3 years sober. We are so proud of him. He is just wonderful with my daughter and well any kid that comes into contact with him. He loves children and they love him right back. He has done an outstanding job in our church and in our family. WE are all very proud of him for being the husband this beautiful woman diserves. Love ya KJ

This is my parents youngest grand children. They were just too cute here not to have a pic of this. Two pees in a pod i tell ya. They were worn out at this point but not too tired to be cute as pie. We had such a good time that day. We had gone down on the river to cook out and after we got to the top and realized that there was no where to stop my moms car broke down. So we loaded down our vehicles and headed on to cook out. We finally found somewhere and just as we were sitting down to eat, it came a horrible storm. After all this we went to the takeout at the river and had a great time floating down the river. It was fun fun fun. Hope to get to do that again soon for sure.

My baby's 6th Birthday!

This is the lucky lady of the hour. She turned 6 today with a cute Hannah Montanna Party. I have no idea how she has such a range of fans but she certianly has won my daughters love for sure. She got just about everything HM has on the market. We love her so much and we are very proud of her 6 years of being with us.

This is River. Him and his mommy was staying with us this weekend and we had a blast. So did River. WE just love him to peices too! And he had bunches of fun too clearly by the look on his face!

This is the cake for her party. Awesome job Hollie! It was a huge cake and much to everyones suprise it was all gone in about 10 min. So pretty and tasty, can actually be all in the same cake. Thanks HoJo!
