Tuscola peewee football league: August 30, 2009

Look at this picture EE... it is Huey... I'm gonna be big like he is someday!

On the field for the first presentation of JN Indians of 2009... and the "adopt an Indian" walk through. Yeah KG got Huey again this year!

... And then there is the newest thing in JN football
PeeWee league... and yes, SJ and TR are playing flag football!
Hilarious!
The one with the ball runs all over the field and then carries the ball all the way back to the coach with the entire group from both teams in tow... well not exactly, but sorta!

Big sisters can be the best fans ever!

They even got to play on the new HS turf! COOL!

quotes that strike a chord with me!

"where is my beenock and yam yam?"... TS needs both to go to bed! "blanket and lamb" :) in 3 year old little boy talk.

"Tahtee, da toe is mehwlteen, but doan wuhwy, it will be back laetah"... EE upon the melting of yet another round of crazy weather in 2010! record rain, snow, ice and weather.. all the tanks are full!

"Weeeeed book a me Tahtee!"..... My youngest granddaughter petitioning me to do one of her favorite things (particularly the Memma and YaYa books)... I've always loved reading to ANYONE!! ofcourse my little one... I certainly will WEEED to you!

"My Tahtee"... Wubba memmas hooouuuse".... "gararrrrje"... "yah yah"... "me woshum dat mum"....spoken by my adorable grandchildren currently 2, almost 2 and one by my 4 year old of wonderful words. I pray you all will always think of me as "my Tahtee"!

"Who is Noel and why do I have his stocking?" spoken by Will the first Christmas we added his stocking to the group... it said NOEL... and in Christmas noel... funny Wibbie!

"I'm going ALONE this time (Sam)"... "I know Mr. Frodo, and I'm going with you!"... "but you can't swim"... from Fellowship of the Rings end scene as Frodo decides he has to carry the burden alone, but his friend (my FAVORITE character), Sam is "a brother who loves him more than life" and proves "I'M STILL HERE!!!

"Eddy, Julie julie julie laerry laerrry laerry almost ate a bug".. SJ telling Elly that Julie REALLY almost ate a bug.... I'll laerry hate it when they stop saying things like "droat, dunder, nummy, and laerry"

"Hurry mom, Hurry... I hear the "dunder" and it's really really raining... hurry mom, you need to feel the rain!" ....TR's encouraging his mother to hurry and play in the last of June West Texas rainstorms... as the DUNDER rolls!

"Tahtee, my droat hurts".... TR's word for throat... maybe he needs some "macamoni" to be easy on a sore throat?

If there's an elephant in the room, why not introduce him?

What you feed will grow, and what you starve will die.
(now.... what exactly am I "feeding" or "starving"... intentionally or unintentionally... doesn't matter... it is still
true!)

"We are not called to put something INTO people, we are asked to call something OUT." GCooke speaking about what the prophetic is asked to do. (and our LORD called those things that were not as if they were, and they indeed became that which He called them to be)

"do you live the life you have..or do have the life you live?" EC

"I used to find myself afraid of the 'fire', but as I experience it more and more I find myself addicted to the flames" ... spoken by one processed in the Refiner's fires

Is what you've traded this day for worth it? (or this moment, or this job, or this.........fill in the blank)

What do I know that I know that I know......(my safe place when things begin to get complicated)

People are more important than things!

Happy people make people happy (opposite of hurting people hurt people)

What you fear controls you!

A "right" word spoken at the "wrong" time is a wrong word!

Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine. (or other people)Fran Lebowitz

"I think I'd miss you even if we'd never met"... from the Wedding Date

Don't think about what the world needs you to be, instead think about... What makes you come alive.... what the world needs is men (people) who are ALIVE!!! ... summarized from Wild at Heart.. and a Bly quote

Thumpers rule:"If you can't thay somthin nitthe, don't thay nothin at all!"

"An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered." - On Running After Ones Hat, All Things Considered, 1908 GK Chesterton

A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you're looking down, you can't see something that's above you. CS Lewis

"To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it." - A Short History of England, Ch.10 GK Chesterton

Food is an important part of a balanced diet. Fran Lebowitz

"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried." - Chapter 5, What's Wrong With The World, 1910 GK Chesterton

There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, ''Thy will be done,'' and those to whom God says, ''All right, then, have it your way.'' CS Lewis

"The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man." - Introduction to the Book of Job, 1907 Chesterton

"When the time for action comes, the time for preparation has passed."

"look mom, the trees are dancing!" spoken from the pure view of a child after my complaint of a terribly windy day.

"I love loo Tahtee!"

"You wanna piece of me?" (spoken as boldly as a little boy can be when confronted with the indignities of being little with a really big Daddy!)

"It'll put hair on your chest Tahtee!" (spoken encouragingly at dinner to me by my 3 year old grandson at Casa Cabana in Winters TX :)

"has everyone done the Mimi rule?" Mimi was my practical and marvelously non-intrusive grandmother. of course her exact words were "has everyone gone to the bathroom before we leave?"

"I've got an idea!" spoken on every wonderful ocassion I encounter my creative oldest granddaughter.

"I like it Tahtee, it looks like poop color!" ... a "compliment" from TR, age 3, on my new hall color.

"well you see Tahtee, if you eat food off the dirt, you get germs in your mouffff, and when you get germs, you get diahreeehaaaa, and you fro up!" SJ answered my question about "well what is diarrhea SJ?"

"ooooohweeee, that is one STINKY STUNK"... understood!

"Tahtee, I really need some 'nummy', because you see, K has lots of 'nummy' and I need some for my barn!"5.08 SJ has a barn bank!

(I reserve the right to add to or delete
as the mood, or the moment hits me!)

What is REAL?

although for most of my reader friends this is unnecessary,
I feel I must qualify this blog space of mine...
******this will not be a great revelation, but.....*******
My life is not perfect, AND I'd never choose another!
For those of you who know me, you know that these things
I write are merely the glimpses
I WANT or CHOOSE for you to see.
(I have wonderful people who ground me to reality regularly... most of the time they are under 12 years of age ...the most purely honest people there are!)
I love sharing these snapshots with you, and I love your responses here or in person, but more than that, I love the opportunity to put WORDS to "paper" for my often forgetful self. People for whom "words" are a primary language, this is the perfect outlet! VOILA.... I get to "speak" my language and those who choose may "listen". Thanks for letting me share!
