Molly & Me

This is Molly. 

We rescued her from the Murray shelter.  She is the most mello chill dog I have ever met.  I think she might be my soul dog mate!

I know I know, you can't believe I am saying this, but I am actually the one who took us to the shelter and decided to bring her home.  (what is wrong with me?)

She also LOVES the water.  We have always wanted a dog who wants to go in the lake, and now we have one.

We do not have Skeeter anymore.  We gave him to Jon's sisters family and he fits in with them very nicely.  He was just way too hyper for us.  We have decided we are not little dog people.   

Accidents & Trials

Many things have been happening around me to family & friends and friends of family and family of friends.

Here are things that have happened all in the past 2 weeks:

Quadruple Bypass Surgery

Suicide

Jet Ski accident

Twins trying to come too early

High fever causing seizure and ambulance ride

Broken bones

Drowning

There are so many things going through my mind. Heartache, worry, sorrow, and so many more emotions. And I am not even directly involved in any of this, so I can only imagine the emotions going on in them.

I have had all of these people and their families in my thoughts a and prayers. 
I know that God's will will be done and I know that he is always there and wants us to
"Be joyful always: pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Jesus Christ" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

If you would all put these people and their families in your prayers I would really appreciate it and I know God wants to hear from you no matter what is going on in your life whether good or bad, so make sure you are praying always.

Life is filled with highs and lows, and God is there during them all. At times His will for our lives is very clear and at other times I think He wants us to seek Him and wait for Him to make it clear. It's during the seeking and waiting that we must hold on to our hope in Christ and claim the peace He offers us.

**The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you**

Take me out to the ball game

BEES GAME

Saturday night we went to the Bees game.  Grady always says he wants "to go to da bees game" and gets so excited to go and then when we get there he is very wiggily and doesn't even watch the game.  He is so totally opposite of Hudson who has sat through movies, games, etc. since he was 2.  Good thing

he is such a cutie!

The famous chicken was at this game and was causing all sorts of havic.  Grady did watch that chicken closely and kept wanting to give him & the bee a hug.

After the game was over (which they lost) the kids got to run the bases

The big win

Jon's softball team won their first game.  It is the end of the season but we wanted at least 1 win. 

We were really excited, I had to take a picture of the score!

It's been really fun to watch my hubs play ball and to get to know the people at church better.

Hot lunch/Last Days of school

Jon & I got to go to Hudson's school and have hot lunch with him.  He has to learn how the whole lunch thing works since he will be starting 1st grade in August.

It pretty much looked like this picture.  There were nuggets, fries, a roll, a cookie, a side of fruit and milk.  It was so much food.  I think that it is such a waste to give kids that much food because half or more ends up in the garbage.  I do not remember having so much food on my tray.  But we ate it and Hudson actually ate quite a bit of it (he is a very slow eater), I hope next year he can eat fast enough to have time to play! 

It did take me back to my elementary days when I had hot lunch every day. I never got cold lunch.  I was a little bitter about it,   I longed for a capri sun or a ding dong,  but I settled for a hot dog bun with ketchup (no, I did not eat the hot dog).  I do remember special days when they would have root beer milk.  It sounds gross but it was oh so good!
I am glad that both Jon & I were able to spend the time with Hudson.  He is a good kid, most of the time!  And now Kindergarten is over and he is on his way to a full day of school.

Here is a picture of Hudson and his teacher Mrs. Reusch.  She has been a great teacher for him.  She has taken the time to make sure that Hudson is at the correct skill level and is able to move up quickly, ecspecially with his reading.  I have to brag because most kindergartners leave at a reading level of B but Hudson started out the year at a K.  Go Huddy!

Thanks Mrs Reusch!

Sports. Sports, Sports

Did I mention sports?

Seriously this has been my life for the past few months.

Huddy played Flag Football & Baseball & Jon is still playing softball.

So every weekday has pretty much been practices or games.

Luckliy Hudson will be done for a little while.  He has taken such a liking to baseball recently.  Him & Jon have started watching baseball on TV and doing a lot of playing catch together.

He watches the players so intently and then when it comes time for him to play he imitates them.  He also loves to do whatever they will let him do during Jon's practices.

I am so glad that he is zoning in on one sport.  Next year I will put him in a league where he gets to play in a real field.  He is VERY excited and wants it to come fast.

I think he could do very well at baseball and I hope that he will keep the love alive for it,

Hudson has decided he likes the Yankees because uncle T likes them.  This would be ok but Jon is totally against this.  Jon is a Detroit Tigers fan andthe Yankees is not for him.  So we have a little rivalry going on in our house.  Jon even made him earn money to buy a Yankees hat because he was not going to just buy one.

Boys and their sports!!!!

Look how cute my hubbs is out on the field!
