This Week We...

We finally completed the task of moving our computer cable line out to the kitchen/living room area and out of our 'office', which has now officially become 'Oscar's Bedroom'. Neil Adams helped Oscar move the cable, thanks a bunch!


Oscar had to get into the crawl space which is in one far corner of the house and crawl to the office which is clear on the opposite corner. I hate our crawl space and will NOT go near it to peak in so I had no real idea what was down there, but my imagination always got going. I hear the word spiderweb and I was gone. Well evidently we have all sorts of pipes, vents, insulation, plastic, and spiderwebs down there, which doesn't leave much room for crawling around. As you can see............





Thankfully he made it all the way across and got the wire moved. This is the new home of the computer now-a-days! I like the location because it is in a open area where I can see everything the kids are doing, no sneaky stuff.



Parker and Mason have been getting along AWESOME this week! They have done art projects, played army with their 'guys', and made art molds out of homemade playdoh. Here are some of their masterpieces.







Parker has been entertaining us with his fashion sense, much to his daddy's delight and mommys embarrassment.







Mason has been wanting to do everything 'By Myself' lately like, open the car door, put on and off his seat belt, get dressed (which includes picking out what to wear), and saying his prayers. Well one night dad decided to record his prayer since they are so cute, wacky, and hillarious all at the same time. So here it is. Below is the interpretation, according to daddy, of what he says.







And Jesus be healthy, And Jesus Kill the King, And Jesus be healthy, And Jesus, get a Elk…and a deer, And be healthy, And Jesus, Uhhhhhmmmm bless us, And, for the King, And ummmmm go to church, every day, And bless the food, with our pancakes, And nacho Beebrey (Libre) , and Jesus Christ a…..Blark blark, and Jesus Christ says…Jesus Christ, AMEN.

Daddy went out again this week Bear Baiting with Neil Adams and Carter Andrews. Basically they get a bunch of old, rotten, stinky food and take it up to the hills to a 'Bait Site' and dump it for the bears to come eat. Then once they know the bears are coming they sit in a tree stand and wait to 'get' one of them. Anyway on this night they had their boat full of bait and pushed off the shore into the white water and somehow LOST an oar, good grief! I would have peed my pants but men dont do that right *wink* They managed to get back to shore, find some guy and borrowed paddles to get across, hiked their bait into the site, and cross back over to arrive safely home.







I was all oblivious to this of course because I was enjoying a 'girl night' watching 'Bride Wars' and laughing histarically. What a cute movie.

I wish I had a camera at this moment, but I didn't, at least I got to see it and experience it. Lil O has been playing soccer for 4 1/2 years, and has been doing great each year. However he has not managed to score a goal for his team. He really wanted to score this year and he was finally able to this last game in the final seconds of the game. He was going up to the goal, made it into the goalie box, when he was fouled from behind with a slide kick. This means he gets a penality kick into the goal without anyone around except him and the goalie. I was holding my breath hoping he would make it, and when he did I was cheering the loudest on the sidelines. I'm sure all the other parents thought I was crazy (I know Zachary was), but I didn't care I was happy for him. I guess they didn't see his dad on the other side of the field doing a celebration dance, punch the air cheer, which I thought was more embarrassing than mine. *wink* Way to go Oscar!!

And last but not least we were finally able to plant the garden. I have been nervous to put my plants out there because of the crazy weather and the frost. We were able to squeeze 8 tomato plants, onions, cucumbers, 4 green peppers, 1 jalepeno, lettuce, green beans, and 10 potato mounds. I sure hope the weather copperates with us and we don't loose anything. While we were out there we noticed a BUNCH of green cherries! Yah the blossoms survived the frost, with divine intervention I believe. So now we are looking forward to harvest time!
