Misc....Blogworthy??

Some of the stuff that happened this week that may or may not be worth your time to read...Blogworthy? You decide:
WOW!!!
(I never thought I'd get excited about $3.03 a gallon!)

Last week at Parker's game...our cheerleaders all turned and watched their cheerleaders who (gasp) knew the SAME CHEERS as us! (I think that our little girls thought they had some exclusivity on them.) They don't know that "Go Bananas....B A N A N A S!" has been around for DECADES!
Here is Tyler on Thursday after his game. Tyler's team lost 22-0 but he sure looks cute. Next week we are playing Celina, which is, as all the locals know, THE BIG RIVALRY. In the words of the Coach: "no one needs to tell you how important this game is." hmmmm. FYI the game is Thursday at 5 at Prosper High.
Parker's cute artwork on display at the elementary school...they have a fun art teacher.
We had a couple of reunions this week. We had a "summer vacation reunion" with the McFarlands last Saturday. We met at Scotty P's to eat some really big cheeseburgers and some artery clogging french fries with "the works" which included cheese, onions, bacon and jalapenos. Then we headed over to Frisco Commons and let the kids run around on the fun playground and spin on the tire swing...see how good it made Aliza feel?


Tyler didn't want to be in the picture. I don't know why. Maybe it was too reminiscent of the car ride we took this summer...
A "Room Mom Reunion" was held on Thursday at La Madeleine's French Bakery...mmmm...french dip. These ladies were so fun to do activities with in Ms. Patton's class last year. Three of us have boys that are friends. In the front are the two Andrea's (V and O) and in the back are Tabitha and Kristin. We ate outside on the porch (it was a PERFECT day) and visited until we HAD to go because the kids were out of school. They are so fun. Tabitha leaves next week to go to Houston for some clinical trials for Liposarcoma. Keep her in your prayers for me, would ya? They need to have her tumors stop growing until she can have surgery again.
Well, if you made it all the way to the bottom of this post, be sure to leave a comment so I know who my real friends are. :o) hee hee hee.

No matter what you blog, you will have a ton of responses cause you're so popular Andie Ope! I love the faces Parker & Aliza are making with the McF kids. LOL Priceless! I can't believe you got the McF's to go out on a Saturday night. No wonder Noey's fridge is empty... she didn't get her "Grocery Game" shopping done.

I almost stopped to get gas, even though the tank was full! It was 2.97 and I had to look at least three times, before I believed the price!

My name is Andrea October 11, 2008 at 4:52 PM  

oh nancy j, "they" didn't go out with us on a sat. night, noelle and the boys met us for lunch. d was at the bike race, remember? she didn't get her groceries bought because she was studying...

and i was just joking around about the comments and the real friends...i was just saying that this is such a random post that perhaps most people wouldn't make it all the way through it...

My name is Andrea October 11, 2008 at 6:00 PM  

that Murphy by WalMart is down to $2.90 today! Glad I didn't fill up yesterday! I almost did, then Tyler said, wait until tomorrow and it will be less. Wow, that kid is always just savin' me money...

Noelle was studying??? That's a shocker. Glad you got her out of the house :)

The A Team October 11, 2008 at 6:22 PM  

i almost didn't leave a comment...i don't respond to peer pressure. :) the cheerleaders are so cute and parker's art looks pretty cool to me.

My name is Andrea October 11, 2008 at 6:26 PM  

DUDES! no peer pressure here, i. was. joking. it was just a funny little way to end because it was so. long. and. boring....

Anonymous,  October 11, 2008 at 8:21 PM

Rick October 12, 2008 at 2:58 PM

Quotables

"Other things may change us, but we start and end with family."

"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard..." from Annie

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”

-Audrey Hepburn


Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.


"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
