This is Grant's football video. He wanted to get in on the action too! When he was younger he was really good at playing pretend sports. He would imitate the athletes of whatever sport he happened to see and play with imaginary bat or whatever was required. This video is no indication of his actual coordination or skill. :)

Football Fan!

So we were watching football on Saturday. Micah disappeared and came back with this "helmet" on.
This is Micah showing off his football skills. Roll Eagle, War Tide! (Our children are a little confused about who they should pull for. Mommy is a tried and true Alabama fan and Daddy is Auburn all the way. We just roll with it here!)

I dropped it!

So after the fridge incident... I dropped my iphone. Yep. You got it. Dropped it. Not the first time. It's in a protective case. Do you think that mattered. Nope. Shattered. Yeah the glass. So I haven't used my phone much this week. Keep telling my self an iphone is not that great. I really don't want to spend the money to replace the glass because that will come out of my new camera fund. Which is hard to build when you are a stay at home mom. ;) But then today we go hiking and use Daniels phone to follow the trails and then use the GPS feature to go off the trail and right back down the mountain into our very own backyard. So maybe they are that cool and I do want mine back. Hmmmm. Thoughts to ponder.

Long time no post

So we have been just a little busy since we got back. We got home knowing our dogs got out while we were gone. We checked the animal control center they were not there (unlike last time) . We were relieved and hoped they would be in our neighborhood. They were stuck behind our house and we put them in the pen and went on our way. Later an unknown neighbor shows up in our driveway telling us that those dogs got out and caused trouble in the neighborhood and that if they got out again we wouldn't need a dog pen. So they are locked up in a kennel and we are looking for new homes for my dogs. I'm pretty upset about this. They did cause a lot of grief, but they are still my dogs. The one just defies gravity and common sense and will not be contained.

So that has been last week. Today our fridge went out so I was transferring our still frozen items to the deep freeze and throwing out a whole lot of other stuff. What fun! So I still intend to post about our trip. Just like I plan to be in bed every night by 9 so we can recover. It may just take awhile for that to happen. Time to set up a sandbag barrier for the great defrost. (The repair man said to leave it open so the huge block of ice on the back would melt and then it would work at least until the part would come in. Lets hope so.) BTW what do you feed your children besides peanut butter sandwiches when you have nothing but pantry goods and deep frozen veggies. Just pondering what our nutrition this week will look like. At the moment Daniel is trying to defrost it manually. Hehe with a hair dryer. Life is good!

Pumkin Patch

This is a quick peek at our whirlwind trip to the midwest. Fun, Family, and Friends! What a blast. I'll post more later. I have some really fun pics from a playground in Muncie, IN.

I need you Jesus!!

I need You Jesus
 to come to my rescue
 Where else can I go?
 There's no other Name
 by which I am saved
 Capture me with grace
 I will follow You
This has been going through my head multiple times this week since hearing it Sunday in church.  If  I got nothing else out of the service I have clung to that song as a prayer for my week.  It has been so exhausting. The song is Rescue by Newsong I think. :)
