Well we have been defeated by two very good teams in our region. Tonight we play another region team with the same record as we have. The Valdosta WildCats. Tonight maybe the turning point in our season. Both teams our looking for a win, and I hope it is us in the win colum. It has cooled off here and now it feel more like football season. It really is no fun sitting in the stadium in 95 degree heat with people very close to you. They are hot you are hot and then everybody is HOT!!!
Well i've rattled enough so I'll close for now and get ready for me some friday nite football!!!!
TTYRS.

Coach Propst and his staff.
Here is our 2008 Packer Football Team.
#58 is My son. He is so handsome.
Coach "D" and his men!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beau is a Linebacker and this is what Coach D coaches. We love us some football here in South Ga. We are just 45 miles from Winnersville, ( ESPN awarded this title to the winningest town in the Nation.)Valdosta Ga home of the Lowndes Co Vikings, Valdosta Wildcats, and Home to VSU Blazers 2007 Nationl Champs,Whoo Hoo go Georgia!!!!!
We have the 2-aday coach Rush Propst from Hoover Al as our head football coach. He has brought with him several years of experience, maybe he can turn our team around into a winning team again. We went 2-6 last season, not to good a record.
Well if you are a football fan in your town, and if you have a child that plays let me know. I'm just nosey like that!!!!!!!!

4th of July
We got together at my mother-in-laws for the fourth of July. I got my family together and had my niece take our picture. M wanted to know why I didn't tell them ahead of time so her and her sister could have worn makeup. Sometimes you just have to surprise them. Our oldest is pregnant with her 3rd so I am planning on a family picture after this baby arrives. She, yes we know that it is a girl will be here on James 55 birthday. How fitting, Randi was born on our 3rd wedding anniversary so this baby being born on James' birthday is pretty cool.
Dalton is hollering in an empty grain bin to hear it echo. He thinks that is so funny. The humor of a 2 year old.
M in his swing is too funny, and him swinging her. Mother and daughter moment how sweet. This is my niece Lori she is 15 days older than Beau.
Hope every one had a great 4th sorry this is so late. Oh well at least I got it posted.
Can't Believe My Eyes
I can't really figure out how to start this. We had a visitor at our house the other day. Now we do live in the country, but not that far back in the woods. We do have electricity and running water and indoor plumbing, so this was really a shock.
My husband has teased me for a long time that my family was the Beverly Hillbillies, anyone remember that show. Can I help it that my mother cooked on a woodstove ( and the year was 1978), or that she raised baby goats behind that said stove, or that we had chickens, and a cow and hog. Oh and did I mention that she kinda of favoried Granny, my daddy sorta looked like uncle Jed but what stinks is that I didn't look anything like Elly Mae. When kids now days talk about "old skool" they have no idea.
Now I know you nice city folk have never seen such as this before,in real life, maybe in pictures!!!!!!!!! It was really to much for me too. Some of you have never even had a mouse in your house let alone something like this.
And without futhur adoo............... Yes that is what you think it is a "POSSUM"
How that creature got into our house is beyond me. And to make things worse it likes rice. Thats how we found out we had this creature in our house.
You see my husband works late on thursday nights, so I leave his supper on the stove for him. Well we heard something and thought it was James fixing his plate only to discover this with its head in the rice pot. Thank goodness for brooms and big trash cans.
Ok to all my friends that eat my cookin all is well, critter is back in the wild. Bleach and a good scrub brush will clean anything.
So to Lysa TerKeurst that little spyder that was in your hair can't even touch this.

Whew
OK so its been a while but life has been happening here. It doesn't seem like school has even been out. Beau has had football almost every day and M has gone to summer school. Hope she can pass her math finals. If not and she doesn't pass this math class she will not get to start student teaching in the fall.
I know that this seems like a trivial thing to most people, but to her it is very important. She has worked very hard to finish early and it seems like this professor is going to be her stumbling block. I want to go to the school and "snatch a knot" in this guy (my carnal self coming out) when I should be praying for him. Now don't get me wrong I am praying for him and M's passing his class( did I mention that math is her best subject?).
Oh let me get on my soap box while I'm at it, this isn't the only thing going on. Do you know that you still have to pay your whole tuition when you student teach? Plus a 100.00 extra dollars. Now that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. M won't even set foot on the campus for the WHOLE semester and the whole tuition has to be paid.
Here is a breakdown:
Parking fees: she won't be there to park.....Priceless
Student Activity fees: she won't be there to be active..... Priceless
Student Teaching fee:100.00 ????????????........Priceless
Tuition:2100.00 for what no body is going to be teaching her she is going to be doing the teaching!!!!!!!!!!!!.........Priceless
etc...etc...etc... and to top all of this off when you student teach you do the teaching and the school system you teach in gets a teacher for a semester at not cost to them. Something just isn't right here. M does get the Hope scholarship.......so what am I fussing about when all it is really costing us is 400.00 dollars. I just can't figure out for the life of me why so much when student teachers are not even going to be at the college. LIFE go figure. And do you know that you have to pay $125.00 for them to look at you graduation application. WHAT aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Quick somebody get me a Carmel Moolate before somebody get hurt.
Just 3 more days and 3 more tests she can do it, she can do it. As I keep telling her we are gonna pray her through this summer semester. So will all my cyber- friends unite in helping me pray for my daughter and her finishing school. She will be a wonderful teacher. I know that God has called her to do this because she has such a way with young children. She really cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again
Your sister in Christ

My" 21" year old "Baby"
Our baby girl (don't tell her she is really the middle child) turns 21 Friday.
Where did the time go? Just yesterday we were on our way to the hospital, finally in real labor. I had had two weeks of Braxton-Hicks contractions oh and did I mention that M was 2 weeks late. She was suppose to arrive on May the 30th but no she waited until June 6th. I know God knows what he is doing but I was very pregnant and very miserable. (Don't ask God for patience because he will sure give it to you.) She was such a precious gift, not that all my children weren't but Emily was different. Right from the beginning I knew she was going to be different. She was my good baby, you know the kind you hear other people talk about. She wanted to be fed, changed and put in her bed when bed time came at night,no rocking or cuddling just put her down and leave her alone. She is still pretty much like that today. When Emily would wake up in the morning she didn't cry she would lay in her bed and coo and look around. When you went to get her she was always smiling glad to see you. Not that I can say that about her now when you go to wake her up. Emily has for the most part been a good child, she is though a "D" personality. She has an opinion and doesn't mind letting you know it.
Emily will graduate in December from VSU with a degree in Early Childhood Education. That is a semester early. We are very proud of her. Since Emily was in about the 6th grade she has wanted to be a teacher, before then it was a lawyer( and she would have made a very good one). Emily has a gift with young children, something rare. She can take a group of any age 5th grade and down that most people can't seem to do anything with and have them sitting in a circle around her in total awe. It is amazing how she can control a group of rowdy children. It is a true gift. My granddaughter is just a little spoilt, ok a lot spoilt Emily is the one who makes her mind at our house, I try I really do but with those big blue eyes she knows that I am just putty in her hands. Another example of M's gift(that is her nickname because Lexi couldn't say the letter E so she called Emily Me-Me. We really think she was calling her Meanie) was one night at my son's baseball game, his game hadn't started yet and we walked over to watch our music director's oldest son's game. His little brother was running around the bleachers climbing on the fence and Trav was trying to take pictures of Kellen. We sat down on the bleachers and M got Adain to come and sit with us. I left to watch my son play and she stayed with Adain (his mom was at a meeting at school, she is a teacher) he sat on the bleachers the rest of the game and did not move. Trav said he could not believe it, he ask her if she threaten him and M said no she just told him to sit there with her. I have watched her with the kindergarten class she teaches at church it is amazing how she controls their attention. She can even keep pre-schoolers occupied.
To show how much patience she has, M and her boyfriend of 6 years are taking Lexi to Wild Adventures today. M called Lexi last night at her Ninny's (my husbands mother) to ask what she was doing today, Lexi said "Well since my momma has to work I guess I will have to stay at Ninny's again." M ask if she wanted to go to Wild Adventures and Lexi screamed yes dropped the phone and ran off the tell ninny that she was going to Wild Adventures. After about 5 minutes poppy came and hung the phone up. We went over to ninny and poppy's last night to get Lexi so she could spend the night with us, both Lexi and Dalton(her little 2 year old brother) came running out of the house. I went to the porch to get Dalton and he was standing there hollering MeMe get me MeMe get me, no Nanna MeMe get me. My grandchildren don't even care about me when MeMe is around. Go figure. She is going to be a great mother some day.
M has grown into such an amazing young woman, I can't believe how the time has passed so quickly. I have seen her grow in the Lord also, she has a deep relationship with her savior. I know that we are raising her to be independent and I have to let her test her wings and fly, but I hope she doesn't fly to far because I will miss her terribly.
Happy 21st Birthday Emily!!!!!!!!!!!!
