Football, football and more football

hmmmm....... where do I begin??? The last few weeks have consisted of a whole lot of ball. We went to the Razorback game in LR (pictures of the tailgating festivities are soon to come) and every Friday night we have been at Spank's games. Greenbrier finally won last week against Heber Springs. It sure is good for their confidence to win even if it is against a smaller school. Reid is playing T-ball this fall so I have been trying to watch him play also. AWANA has started back at church so I have been busy trying to get everything together for that. AND to top it off Brandon and I have been playing co-ed softball with a team from my work so we have been playing 2 games a week with them for the last month or so. I guess that explains why I haven't been on the blog in almost a month! Hope everyone's doing good and is showered with blessings!

Friday night!

Friday night: I went to Spank's game at Heber. After their victory over the HS Panthers the team was in their huddle out on the field getting their post-game speech from Coach Tribble. Everyone in the stands was SILENT! 'cause we all wanted to hear what he had to say. Everyone, except the band director - she was trying to give her band people directions on what they were to do with their pants and their horns before getting on the bus. Anyway, after the speech the team was lead in a team prayer (later I found out that it was the superintendent that lead the prayer. I'll tell you more about that later) anyway, the band director kept talking during the entire prayer. HOW RUDE!!! Anyway, I was fuming... sister, mom, and Mrs. Tammy started encouraging me to go over and say something to her after it was all said and done.. next thing I knew I was standing next to Ms. Church, the band director telling her how rude and disrespectful she is/was. WOAH! I was very polite and just ask her that next time would she please show the Coach and GOD some respect by shutting her mouth and bowing her head! Yeah, I really did! When I turned around to go back to my so called supporters who pushed me to stand up to her, they (mom, sister, tammy) were already headed to the car! Whatever happened to "I got your back"?? The more I thought about the fact that the team was led in prayer by a school official the more I felt like I needed to let them know that I supported their public prayer 100%. So, I sent them an encouraging pat on the back this week hoping that they will continue to stand up for God. It makes me proud to know that Greenbrier Schools are lead by Christian leaders. What a stand to be the NEW coach and superintendent and not afraid to lead a team in prayer in front of everyone at the game. Come to find out Coach Tribble prays with them before and after each game, win or lose!

Labor Day 2008

What a weekend..... Saturday Brandon went to the Razorback game in Fayetteville and I went to Little Rock with Sister, Steven, and the boys.
Sunday we had company for dinner. We are so glad that Nana, Jeremy& Sarah, and the Hoffman kids could come over.
Monday Brandon and I were both off work so we went to hike Pinnacle with Judy, Frank, and Omar. Monday night Brandon's cousin Daniel came over with his girlfriend and friend to eat supper with us. We were certainly busy, but enjoyed every minute of it.

The Cake

A few weeks ago we went over to Kristin and Mark's to play Wii. I was in charge of bringing dessert. Here is the cake that Kristin and I somehow destroyed. I am pretty sure I shouldn't quit my day job! :)
