Miscellaneous........

Last night was Bronson's last game. Everyone got a hit! That made me super excited. We bought the kids trophies for doing such a great job. They thought that was pretty cool:) Bronson is the first one in the back row, on the left.

Tonight we are headed out to Fun City! Bronson's 6th birthday is next week, so we decided to take him and a couple of friends to Fun City. Braxton is taking a friend also so he isn't bored to death! and then there is Braylon. He likes to hang with Mommy so he didn't need a friend. We are planning on doing the game room, the go karts, bowling and all that fun stuff tonight when we get there and then tomorrow we are going to spend the WHOLE day at the waterpark. The temperature is suppose to be 90 degrees. I just said last night that I hoped it was 90! Thank you God for listening to my prayer request.

So tonight as you lay down and say your prayers, say an extra pray for our travel, safety and MY SANITY:)

I promise I will post pictures when we get back.

braylon: yep, i asked him if i could jump on the couch and he said i could

i guess if Jesus thinks it is ok to jump then i should be ok with it too huh?

i love little sweet conversations like this!

what is your love language?

Jared and I have such different love languages. His is physical touch (imagine that!) and my least favorite love language is physical touch. So somehow, someway we have to meet in the middle. He wants to touch me I want him to do this or that for me. So I did some researching on MEN/WOMEN and understanding each other. So for now this is what i have come up with.

*****A kiss most likely causes the female new brain cognitive centers to think about the romantic beauty of the moment and significance of the relationship at this point. The male new brain is most likely thinking about how good the female would look and feel naked! IMAGINE THAT!

*****Women like kissing before, during, and after sex. Men use it to get sex then like to go to sleep!

What follows the kissing?

Kissing for females is not only great fun for the body but also it stimulates the mind with an increased feeling of emotional and physical closeness. For women, kissing good-feelings start in the upper body and work down more slowly than men. This fits nicely with the female's DNA need for creation of a family and protection for her and offspring. For most women, kissing is the most stimulating physical activity short of intercourse. In the mean time the man is still thinking about how great she would look and feel naked. To most men, kissing is upper persuasion for a lower invasion.

So then I decided to take the Love Language Quiz to see what my love language is. I have done this before and it is still the same. So here are my results.

How to Interpret Your Profile Score
Your highest score indicates your primary love language. Your second highest score indicates your secondary love language. If two scores are identical, you are bi-lingual(you have two Primary love languages). If the scores of your primary language and your secondary language are close(for example, 10 and 9 respectively), it indicates both are important to you. The highest possible score for any one love language is 12. Having a clear picture of your primary and secondary love languages will explain much of your past behavior. Think back over the past and ask yourself, "What have I most often requested of my spouse?" Chances are your answer will lie within the scope of your primary and secondary love languages. You have been requesting that which would meet your deepest need for emotional love. Your requests, however, might have come across as nagging or criticizing and thus drove your spouse away.

So as you can see your highest possible score on one love language is 12 and i got an 11 on "acts of service".

go here to see what your love language is.

i have so much more on this topic. but i need to get it all straight in my head before i blog about it.

so leave me a comment and tell me what your results were on the love language test!

I'm Here, really I am!!!

This last week has been really crazy! Last Friday Andrea and I went swimming with the little kindergartners on their field trip. It was a ball. Here are some great pictures of Bronson at the pool. The kids got to swim for 2 hours. There were around 40 little ones and about a 10 adults. So we really had to keep our eyes on them.






Here is Bronson and Emma. Don't they look so cute? A couple of years ago I scrapbooked a page with these two holding hands and I put on the page, Class of 2022, Cutest Couple! Won't they be the cutest couple that class will ever see? They are very close and I am sure one day when they get older (a lot older), they will look at each other more like siblings than as girl/boyfriend.

Father's day brought some very warm temps and lots of sun. I bought a tube of 500 water balloons to take with us to some friends house for a bbq. It took us an hour or more to fill up 400 of those balloons. We filled a little kiddy pool with all of them and then decided to have a water fight, with balloons and water guns and then the guys decided to fill up coolers and the kiddy pool. It was a great time. As you can see on everyone's faces there was a lot of laughter! It took us FIVE minutes to destroy those 400 balloons!

1000 Word Thursday

Here is a picture of my grandma with 2 of my boys. She is a hoot! Last year she wanted to surprise the kids and dress up as a baseball player. She even put on a tatoo:) My kids absolutely adore her. She isn't feeling the greatest these past few weeks. She really needs prayers to help heal her pain. So please add her to your prayer list.
