TGIF

Happy Friday~ Have a great weekend!

A birthday shout out to Susan~ HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

This is what you do.......

After 8th grade football practice! Jacob practiced with the 8th grade team and was assigned a locker, pads, helmet and that other good stuff and a photo taken also, not sure what that was for. He was wore out and yes he is the shortest 7th grader out there, some of these boys are TALL!
One of those moments where you wish you could be with them, you know when he first walked in that locker room, oh well gotta let them grow up ;)
Bailey called yesterday and wanted to come spend the night so he chilled with Jacob.

Bobby's surgery went well and they repaired the artery, tendons & nerve all at once. A lengthy surgery but it went well.

Prayers for Bobby

Please say a prayer for Bobby. He is one of Jacob's cousins a.k.a "The Boys"
He is here from OK and had to have emergency surgery night before last and is having another one as I type this.

Look Mom no glasses

And here you have it, contacts!! Jacob did great, just as I expected. This morning was a little tough but he got it, or better yet I did and the whole sticking an object in his eye freaks me out. I could have never worn those things. Jacob was in bed early and up early trying to get adjusted for school. And maaaaaaybe the fact that he & Deven stayed up until 5 a.m. the night before made him fall out while reading his book. I did tell him it was the last night to party this summer =)

So this afternoon Jacob is going to football practice with the 8th graders, he is only 7th grade but I think he needs to get geared up. I don't have much details (just got my info this morning) about school ball but we are now the Lakweood Cougars.

I am gonna miss the Twisters days!!

Saturday Daniel invited Jacob to Playtime Pizza. Jacob said it was a really neat place~

Lots to do this week to get ready for school next week, I can't believe it is that time.
Jacob and I did some shopping yesterday he has to have 2 AP English books read by Monday and we did not have neither, and nor does Books A Million. I think everyone forgot to read these over the summer and now they are out. We did manage to find one of them.

A birthday shout out to my friend Charlaine (a.k.a North Pole Mama on my links) who lives in Alaska now. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!!

Tomorrow Jacob gets fit for his contacts. He is so excited.

Have a great week!

Happy Camper

Jacob and one of his buddies from Camp. That is their cabin in the background.

This is from where I sat during the closing. Absolutely beautiful!

Singing... This just melts my heart. They built such a community.

And yes they wear anything at camp, check out Jacob's shoes. I thought maybe he had an injury, but no just in a hurry...lol

Cabin B-1 and the last year for it. They will be building a new one before the next Camp.

A big thanks to Jamie & Kaden for riding with me. We stopped at Ruby Tuesday's in Conway on our way back, one of Jacob's favorites!

Carrie's birthday at Cajun's

A little Underground Pub dancing after Cajun's~

Awesome

I got my 2nd letter on Wednesday, just made my day =). He likes the word awesome obviously!

Friday's on Tuesday

Yesterday after work I met Carrie for Happy Hour at Friday's. Nice visit, but yucky pic of me, oh well!
Tonight I am going to help Carrie P. celebrate her birthday with a dinner at Cajun's.

Makes my day =)

After worrying since Sunday that Jacob may be too hot, I GOT THIS LETTER YESTERDAY and was so very happy =)

Having a blast!!

Happy Birthday Carrie!!

We need aother night of dancing like this one =)

On Sunday...

I left Jacob here. I cried all the way back down that mountain, maybe just a happy cry. I helped him put his sheet on his bunk and headed out, it was oh probably 105 in that cabin. That has been my only concern, the high temps! We hooked up his fan and I was off. I had the camera and I saw him look over at it, probably thinking if she starts snapping pics in this tiny hot cabin she has had it....lol
We were 2nd to register so Jacob got his bunk of choice in cabin B1.
Hopefully I will be able to get some good pics on Friday morning when I go to the Closing Eucharist.
And just maybe I will get a letter today =)

This is a pic I took on Saturday~ toooo hot!

Pay It Forward

Game time!!
I commented on Maria's blog and I won. Me win something, NEVER, this time I did.

So here are the official "rules" of this meme:
If you’d like to participate, leave me a comment. I will pick 3 commenters (by Jacob drawing the comments from a bowl), and I will send them some kind of gift! I’m not sure what it will be yet, but that’s part of the fun… It’s a surprise! If I know you well enough, I’ll try to pick something based on what I know about you.
You will have to send me your “snail mail” address. Then, you must promise to make a similar post on your own blog, offering to pay it forward to 3 more bloggers who comment on your site. What happens is you will write a post, much as I am doing, but in your own words, of course (plagiarism is a crime! <-- Tense's exact words!). Sorry Maria this is the only way to get this done, life seems so busy!

Within your post mention “Pay It Forward,” and specify which comments will be involved, or make it random if you prefer. Please don’t say you’ll play along and then not follow through.

Leave me comments & Good luck!

Busy week ahead getting Jacob ready for his first church camp. I am so excited for him but at the same time nervous. He will do great because he never meets a stranger, wonder where he gets that from ;)
and much more to do...appointments, meetings, cookouts, etc.
When I have busy weeks like such Friday is here before you know it!

To be 2 again...

Jamie and Kaden came for dinner, Kaden sure took up with Joe a.k.a. Papaw and they played a little guitar hero. I cooked a dish I had never made, Wild n Cheesy chicken. Turned out pretty good. A nice Sunday it was!

Willie, The Rev Room & Corn fields

Ya don't say?

Willie Nelson & BB King

Do you dream?

I don't very often but it seems that when I do it is so vivid. Last night I dreamed that I was arrested, not by any police officer but by this police officer. He happens to be the husband to my friend/coworker Nataki. Well after telling my story this morning he walks up to my desk, wierd huh? Just had to take a photo.
p.s. no I was not arrested...lol

Wednesday it is!

Not much going on I guess I am still relaxing from the weekend.

Friday night is Willie Nelson & BB King, this will be fun, stay tuned!

Strange music selections I know, I told you I love all kinds of music. Just sing along with me =)

R&R

The weekend was laid back with some much needed R&R. Jacob had some tie dyed ice cream, I called it Hippie ice cream. He also went fishing yesterday and caught lots of fish.
I did manage to get my blind hung over the weekend =)
