Oh What a 3 year will get into....

Let me start by saying, my son is so easy going, doesn't really every get in much trouble. He never really went through terrible anything and it was great!! My daughter on the other hand (excuse my language) is hell on wheels, I would almost say she is a nightmare a lot of the time, she is a handful and she is 3, well you get the point. So everyday with her is a new adventure, but what she did last night is something I want to remember (which is why I started blogging to document my family for the future)!! Kale was in his bathroom taking a shower and Fallon was in my bathroom taking a shower. (I was taking a test for school was wasn't helping at the moment.) So Paul was running between the two bathrooms to make sure the kids were OK, so while he was checking on Kale, Fallon thought she would try and shower like me, ha, well. She climbed and got the shaving cream down and my razor and proceeded to shave her toes (not sure on that one) and her legs. She actually did really well on her legs, she didn't cut herself at all, but on her toes she shaved half of her toe nail off, needless to say it was a bloody mess. You can see the pictures below to see the end result...

Here is the bloody toe with the half gone toe nail.

I know this picture is hard to see, but right down the middle you can see that there is no hair, and that is where she shaved!!
Oh my stars, she keeps us on our toes, not sure I would have had another one if I would have had her first. But with everything she gets herself into, I LOVE HER SO MUCH, even though I am paying for my husband's raising, wink wink, ha!!

Please Pray-Update

Update-Just found that Sarah went to be with the Lord this afternoon, please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers...

I was just made aware of Sara Sullivan's family today, through Kristin's blog.
I haven't had a chance to read all the specifics, but it looks like shortly after she became pregnant, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Thankfully, she delivered her little girl Chloe recently and they thought everything was okay, but she is now in ICU because she started having seizures once they got home.
The situation is described as "grave" by her husband.
But, we know that with God, all things are possible.
Will you please join me in praying for a miracle for Sara?

Thursday-Friday Night Football!!!!

The senior high Panthers are now 2-0, I am going to brag now because this will probably change for the worse in the next 2 weeks. I am a firm believer in Prayer and I have seen miracles happen, but needless to say I have soo enjoyed the last two victories because we have a very very tough schedule.
I am in my 4th year at Clarksville and the first 2 years I worked with 5th graders, well my first class my first year is now in 8th grade and my good friend Barbara son is the star quarterback for the Jr high team; so I have been attending the Jr. high games to watch those boys play some really good games. There record is 1-1 and they also have a very very tough schedule ahead of them. I am very proud of both of our teams.
Sorry for the slew of pictures but I am behind on posting them so I am catching up for the last 4 games (both Jr and Sr high games)!! GO PANTHERS GO!!!!!!

This is Kale stretching just like the linemen that Troy Lewis is coaching!!

This is a typical Friday night for us, Kale is such a good sport and lets all the younger kids tackle and wrestle him, it is quite entertaining!!

These are Fallon's friends, Taylor, and Ty

This girl in the left of the picture is the best thing that has come into my family. She is my babysitter and there is NOT a better one!! If I could afford it I would just hire her as a full time nanny!! The kids just love her!!

Once the kids get through all the tackling and wrestling they settle in for a good movie!! We love portable DVD players!!

This was during halftime warmups and Ty and Fallon were trying to pester the players. The boys are really good with the kids, they are good sports about the kids pestering them!!

Our players warming up for the game tonight!! It was a beautiful night!!

Here are 3 of the 4 coaches of the Sr. High team!! Coach Dougan (Defensive coach), Coach Banning (head coach), and Coach Lewis (Line coach)

We have an AMAZING band. I need to record them sometime and put on here. They are nothing but amazing!!

We also have a good group of cheerleaders, they are some very sweet girls!!

Here is the tunnel that our boys run through before the game starts!!

Here is Coach Lewis walking the boys from the field house to the run through tunnel, well I am not sure if that is what he is doing, but that is what it looks like!!

Here they come, time to kick some butt!!!!!!

It takes so much to put all the parts of the game together and each week I would like to highlight them in my blog. After all I am the Panthers biggest fan so I want to just say a big Thank You to everyone!! We have some of the best coaches and their awesome families who become football widows for about 12-16 weeks, to everyone who works the game to the players and there parents. Next week I am going to try and start spotlighting some of the players (want to ask them first and make sure they don't care I put them on here) and the managers that help take care of the boys and coaches, they are the BEST, there are no better football managers than the ones we have and they are just a good group of girls and of course we have a good group of boys on the team!!
Till next time, Steph

Hair Cuts!!!

Right before school started I took the kids to get their hair cut, Kale has gotten his shaved every couple of weeks since he was about 6 months old, but Fallon has never even had her hair trimmed. Kale has decided he wants a "big boy" hair cut, in other words he wants it cut just like his dads. Fallon had about 3 inches cut off of hers, it looks so healthy now, but we cut off all the curls
Fallon before...

Kale before..

Kale getting it cut!!

After...Looks so much better


Fallon getting her hair fixed!!

The back, after!!!

Both of them after they were done getting "trimmed"!!!

It is Finally Football Season, YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK ladies and gentlemen, I am back, YEA!! And what better way to kick off me re-blogging than talking about football. I LOVE high school and college football!! I am now on day 3 of football, I attended both Panther games, junior high and senior high, and then today was none other than Razorback football!!! Best part is all 3 teams won this week, what a way to start off the season!!!! My good friend Mandy and I both work at the high school and we are full of school spirit and this week we (well mainly Mandy) made signs for the bleachers at the game and we made a sign for the boys locker room from the 2 of us and I also stayed late one night and made a sign for my classroom door!!!! I have tons of pictures but have not had time to upload yet, but here are a couple I do have on the computer!!
