Blow Out

Special game against the Tea Flaggers this past Saturday. It pitted brother against brother! Blake and Al are on the BNK and their brother Drew is on the TF's along with many other friends. BUT, when it came down to it, our team was just better as seen below in this photo: I believe the aggressive action stance of the BNK speaks for itself...

Final outcome? 36-0, us.

Newest BNK mascot; Diesel.

Boys, maybe you're winning because you have so many pretty girls cheering you on?

Rotator Cuff

This title for two reasons:
One: Because of the cast's existence, Mama had to go to a consignment shop and buy four shirts and two pairs of pj's that we could cut the left arms off of so Pea could actually wear clothes while this pink monstrosity is outstaying its welcome. We have started referring to it as the cast (an entity in itself) since everyone loves the girl, not said thing attached to her arm. One positive change: Pea's current wardrobe was a mere 15 dollars! So Shabby Cast Chic...
Side note: 1 week of 5:30 AM wake up calls down, 5 more to go. I am beginning to loath this cast as it slams against the bed frame every morning waking up my little girl.
Two: Since she only has a certain number of shirts until like...Thanksgiving (yikes!) she's rotating the same drab wardrobe basically twice a week. Ever the innovative girl; Pea is working her new look with dignity and flair!
Below is a funny video of her new thing: running in circles anywhere there is a pillar or pole. Bonus: You see her rotating cuffs in action. To answer your question: Yes, you will be seeing this shirt again. And again.

Boy Named Sue

With all the mayhem last week (i.e Pea's broken arm), I didn't get a chance to give Tyler some much needed face time on the blog. Ty went down to steamy hot Austin, Texas for business on Wednesday and while down there got to see our good friend Nate who lives in said steamy city. As many of you know, Tyler LOVES Johnny Cash and Nate took him to a bar named after one of his favorite Cash songs: Mean Eyed Cat. When we were dating he used to love to play it because the song annoyed me so much, but I do love these pictures!

The Mean Eyed Cat Bar in Austin!

One-Armed Bandit

Pearson wanted to show readers out there how good she's doing eating with her cast. Go Pea! side note: felt baby bell #2 move today for the first time-life is such a miracle!

Hmm, tasty!

Mommy and Daddy signed her cast:

Rain Rain Go Away

And it did, but JUST for the BNK game today! Score: 49-20 (victory for BNK)! Here are some action shots of today.


Tyler had some A+ catches today. Very proud, I must say...

Arm Candy

It must have been some sort of crazy karma which I unleashed as I (darkly) scanned in that picture of me with my broken arm last week (see below). Ironically, I was the same age as Pearson when she broke her arm yesterday falling off a toy at the park. Thankfully I was not alone when it happened! However, it was not good! After a trip to Urgent care, a make-shift splint, another trip to Marybridge and one pink cast later; the brave girl is doing well! I can't believe what a trooper she was having to be put under and have her very first IV. I am amazed at my little one. We are thankful for the following:

• It was not her leg. Amen.
• It is her left arm, not right so she can still eat, color, etc.
• Grandma Polly & Papa Tim coming to the hospital.
• Your prayers and encouragement.

And for God's peace in a stressful time!

Slinging it.

Watching a movie (special treat).

Smiling after Tylenol:)
