Night out with the family and friends....

Kick-off for Kirksey, Elmwood, and Rogers High School (Mounties) began with a car load of Kirksey ball players headed to eat....

Emmet got a ride to the car from Uncle Tod...

Emmet was quite the camera 'ham' tonight at dinner.. when he would see the orange light come on for the flash he was CRACK UP! It was fun to watch him make his serious face, only to crack up when the orange light would come on....

New haircut and color for mom...

Dad and Utah spent the crazy day on the couch watching movies, the Olympics, and playing video games...

I am constantly accused of not posting pictures of myself.. so here are two pictures of me... the dreaded full body shots... sheesh! I am always taking the pictures and seldom IN the pictures :-)

Fire Ladder

After reading some local tragic stories and a few nightmares of my own, we decided to purchase a fire ladder for the window(s) in the kid's bedroom. I urge you to do the same if you have a two story bedroom. There was a high school age young lady who died in Rogers on the 2nd story of her home about three years ago during the Thanksgiving holiday. It has stayed with me and we finally decided to do something about it....

How does he sleep like that???

Check out the silly position Rudy is in while sleeping.. it was hilarious! I have some silly pictures of Hubb sleeping that I will post soon....

Zach was home for a couple of days before heading back to Harding. He stopped by to say hi! We missed him this summer but enjoy hearing about his adventures and lessons!

Tod and Utah spent an entire evening THUMB WRESTLING! It was fun to witness such silliness from my two boys!

Scared

This truly frightens me and my family - especially the senior adults in my family. The older Americans are the ones at risk to have the severe complications from this disease. I am scared for the children, too, just because of the misery and possibly complications they must suffer.
