Haircut

This picture is pretty blurry, but you can see Reese's new hairicut. He loves it! He likes to spike it up some days like his good friend Cooper. I think it fits his personality. Now Brooks wants his cut short too, but I like his hair longer. On my, what is a mom to do...

Bargain Shopping!

I was scanning things for sale on Craigslist this morning. I have to say that I rarely go on there, and at the moment I can't remember what made me think to go look at it this morning. I am so glad I did. I found a great set of wrought iron patio furniture! Fast forward to the end of the day, and it is now on my deck. We got the cushions that go with the set, (or at least some of them) but they are old and worn. Now on to figuring out how to recover them, because has anyone priced patio furniture cushions lately?!?! It is ridiculous. Too much for this bargain hunting woman!

Now if it will only cool off a little so we can sit out there and enjoy it!

(sidenote, I have got to post a picture on here of Reese's new haircut. I buzzed his head the other day and he looks like a new child! I still can't pick him out of a crowd yet. We were at VBS earlier in the week, and I was looking all over for him when it was over, and he ended up being pretty much right in front of me. Stay tuned for that one :) )

Braves

We took the boys to the Braves game this past Saturday. Reese had never been, and Brooks doesn't really remember the time he went. Reese was amazed at the huge baseball in the picture below.Both boys got to play in the toon town area and try their hand at hitting the ball. Reese did a good job hitting it!This picture makes me laugh because Reese was standing on second, and then just took off toward third, and had a stand off with the pitcher. Everyone in the crowd was laughing, while Brooks was shouting, "GO BACK, GO BACK!"Reese seemed to enjoy the game as well as I thought he would. It was extremely hot though, and the snacks didn't seem to hit the spot with it that hot. Oreos start to melt when it is hot!

Catching Up

Brooks ended his baseball season a couple of weeks ago. Although we didn't have a winning season, it was a blast. He is already looking forward to next year!

My boys!!!
He was so proud of his trophy!
Reese was happy to be running around...as usual!

Update

LaRose's surgery went extremely well. As of last night, she was in a room, doing well. Because she is doing so well, the doctors were going to go ahead and start some of the anti-rejection medicine. Please continue to keep this family in your prayers, and thank God for some already answered prayers!

Prayers!

I just found out that a kidney has been located for my friend Monica's mother, LaRose. They are on their way to Atlanta and will have the surgery at 3pm today.

Please say a prayer that everything will go perfectly this afternoon!

My small brush with someone famous....

Two years ago, ABC had a show on called Life on Mars. Brent and I really liked the show and were sad to see that it was cancelled after only one season. It was a police drama set in 1973, with some unusual aspects to it, that made it so much fun to watch. I was sad when it went off the air, but glad that the writers knew they were being cancelled far enough ahead of time, that they were able to wrap up the last show, and answer a lot of questions, that the viewers had been asking all season.

Anyway, I had been following the lead actor from that show, "Jason O'Mara," and knew that he will star in a new show this fall called Terra Nova. I just happened to look on Tuesday and saw that he had a pretty new Facebook page started. I decided to leave a comment on there and to my surprise he left me a response.

I know it isn't much in the grand scheme of things, but it certainly made my night! My sister had her picture made with Danny Glover one time, but I am pretending this is much cooler ;)
