Spirit Week
Valley had Spirit Week a few weeks back. Christian had a blast at school that week. We had to make several trips to Walmart to try and find all the fun things he wanted. We couldn't find any crazy boys/men's socks so I will have to keep a look out for next year. Christian had blue and green hair one day. He decided not to do pj day for fear that no other guys were going to do it. His favorite day was Green and White day. He went all out with green and white face paint, green wig, valley t-shirt, black- green and white shorts, green baseball socks and green and white shoes.

The Last Lecture
Has anyone read this book?
I finished this book a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if I just didn't read it with a open mind or what, but it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be like Tuesday with Morrie which I loved. It was OK for me but not nearly as good as all the reviews said. It was suppose to be a Five Star. I would love some input. Anyone else heard anything about this book? Should I reread it again in a few months? I have had to reread things before.

Ethan and Breonn
Last month I was able to go spend a Saturday morning with my cousin Jess and her children. We decided that since we hadn't taken pictures of her kids together since Breonn was a baby that it was time. There is a park near where they are living and thought that would be a great place for pictures. However, with one kid afraid of bugs and the other told me that brothers and sisters are worse enemies; it was a little difficult. Here is a few shots that I like.
Breonn has her eye on a spider, making sure it didn't move.
Ethan was a real trooper as long as his sister wasn't in the shot.
Breonn had just finished telling all about the ants by the tree.
Boys can be sweet when you bribe them with McDonald's.
It was really difficult to get this 8 year old to put his arm around his 5 year old sister.

Spider
We had a spider decide to build a super cool web on our carport. He was there for about 2 weeks. Scott and I had gotten to where we watched for it careful not to walk through it's web. We also checked what it had added to to its web everyday. We were very sad and disappointed to come home from work one day to find his web messed up and it dead on the carport.
Scott and I feel the same about animals. If they are not hurting anything leave them alone.
In the middle of our remodel project, I decided to take a break and take a photo of the spider. I'm not going to say how long it took me to get this photo or how many setting changes I had to change on my camera to get this shot. It's not the best but this is the only one that I took that looks like a spider and a web and the setting was not on auto. That just looked like a blur. Maybe I will eventually learn what all the buttons do.

Have you saw any of these around? There is a old wise tell that says if you see wooly warms than you are going to have a bad winter. If you see a white one you are going to have a really white winter. I have saw two white ones in our yard and Scott said he saw probably 50 that looked like this today when he was working. I don't know how but this one made it in our house so we had to set him free.

Justin Starting A-Back
It's hard to believe that at the age of 14 my nephew has been playing sports for 10 years. Yes, I started watching him play soccer at the age of 4. I think he started traveling with sports somewhere around the age of 7. I'm not exactly for sure what a A-Back is but am told that is his official football title. To me he is a receiver. Check out this play in slow motion.

Trevor the Quarterback
I was able to make it to a few of my nephew's football games. He is the starting quarterback for the 7th grade which is a huge deal. They have had a good season.
Harrison's new football stadium is awesome. It's not quite finished but they were able to use it this year. We even have a as my brother calls it a "babytron".
