Finding eggs in the pond.

Google Eyes

Everyone has fears and things that make them nervous. Mine is google eyes. I am not afraid of them, but they do make me nervous. I like to look people in the eye when I talk to them, so when I see a google eye, i look at it. Then when I should be listening to that person talk, I start to worry that they see I am looking at their google eye and not the good eye. Then I switch focus to the good eye and worry that the person saw me switch to the good eye and knew I was looking at the google eye...see what I mean. One of my many quirks. Please forgive me.

Well, my family loves to make google eyes, so I have caught some on film...here are the results.

Rebekah and Ethan

Scott...he is so good at this.

Andy just looks drunk :)

One of my personal favsorites.

Another Scootch classic look.

Open letter to the one I love (not Andy)...

Dear Sugar,

Before Christmas you and I broke up. It was tough. I missed you terribly. But, we were apart for 10 whole weeks. But, I took you back during the holidays...big mistake. Since then you and I have struggled back and forth in our relationship. I am writing to tell you it is over. Please listen this time. I really have had enough of you. You make me so tired and fell so gross. You hurt me in so many ways, it is hard to count. You try and make me feel good, but it never lasts. This break-up is so difficult because I know I will continue to love you and desire you, but it has to STOP.

I also wish you could let me go. I am so sick and tired of you hiding all over the place. Even when I feel like I am making a healthy choice, boom, there you are hiding in the fine print. I hate you for it. You think it is okay to show up at every social event I attend? It is NOT OK! Plus, do you think it is okay with me how close you have become to my children? I know they love you too Sugar, but your time with them will be very limited. You are making them sick as well. Bottom line: You are one sick puppy, Sugar. And though I may entertain you on occasion, consider this the END of our long and unhealthy relationship!!!

I mean it!

No longer yours,

Jen

you could be in pictures...according to mom

Just braggin' on my girls. I feel I have every right to do so as their Mom. It is so very awesome and fun to be Mom to four fun and beautiful girls. I love every one of them.

All I want is a room somewhere...

For a long, long time I have wanted an area designated as our school room, but could not figure out how to do it. Well, just after Christmas an idea struck me. I talked to Andy and we got to work and in two long days we transformed our unused dining room into a school room. It is neat and organized, and hopefully it will stay that way. :)

Signs...

So...My sister and I have always been fans of funny church signs. Now we have texting, we like to text them to one another. For the two of us corny=funny, so these types of signs are the best. Did you know there is a whole book of them. I always wonder if the Pastors have special idea books, or if they just come up with them on their own. Beth recently found on that said; "God answers Kneemail". HeeHee, I love it!!!!

Good clean fun

The girls and I went to see this musical yesterday at the Old Spring Hill High School. It was so refreshing to see a show that was clean, fun, and enjoyed by all, we didn't even have to sit through questionable previews. FYI-They still run for one more weekend, see it if you can.
