On the 3rd, we had a family night at the church and it was my mom's birthday. It was a fun night at our property where the new church is being built. The kids had games and rides to play, there was a Deacon/Staff softball game and a prayer walk over the new space for our sanctuary. I did not go up there that night. I stayed back with Price. My office went up that afternoon and prayed over the area. It was a neat experience. Lots of change coming but I believe it will be good changes. While we were playing on the field there was an inflatable there that had basketball on one side, baseball on another and so on...well, Price of course went straight to that and never left. He was hitting the ball off this air blown tee and hitting it every time. Every one was impressed. Even the guy who owns the inflatable said he had never seen anybody hit every ball...and he had seen lots of people try. Kaitlyn tried her hand at rock wall climbing. I don't think she ever made it higher than about 10 feet but she tried. She also rode the "Race Car Train". This is a train so to speak that is made up of replica race cars and it FLIES. They play loud music and everything.
That Friday night we did fireworks for the Gardendale Football Game. It was great. We gave them a show for the first Home Opener and did it in memory of Katie Burkett. Her parents are good friends of ours. Katie passed away July 20th in a terrible car accident.
Saturday was of course Auburn Football. It was an ok game. Not the best but it was a win. We then went to Ronnie's Grandparents' house in Hueytown. His dad was in town. It was good to see him and Deb. They live in Little Rock and we only get a few times a year to visit.
This past week was the norm...Gymnastics, dance, children's choir, church, etc. Children's choir started this week. Kaitlyn loves choir. She is in the choir at school and at church. Mother and I are teaching a preschool choir class this year. It should be fun. We are teaching Price's class. This week was our first time and boy was it fun. We only had 6 three year olds. I expect more next week. Mother did the lesson and I did the crafts and took them outside. I have more patience for that than mother. She also (conveniently) had a conference call she had to leave early for.
Thursday and Friday I was able to keep my nephews. It was so much fun. Wednesday Michelle and I took Parker to Dr. Amason's. He had been running a fever for a few days so we wanted to make sure nothing else was going on. Thursday I took half a day off and kept him home from daycare. Mother kept him the morning and we tag teamed and I had him for the afternoon. Friday I kept both of them and Price. It was a good day. Even though they were puny, I felt at home with the children. I miss being with other kids day in and day out.
Saturday was Auburn Football again. Not the greatest game again. We played Miss. State and it was very stinky. It was a win and that is about all I can say about it. We went to our friends' house for a tailgate party. Jonathan and Rachel invited us and others up to their house and we had a blast. The kids went. They drew on the sidewalk with chalk, played corn hole, and watched Disney channel. Jonathan tried to teach Price the art of grilling. He wasn't too sure of the charcoal so Jonathan showed him how he could draw on himself and the sidewalk. Price got leveled by their dog, Tiny. The name does not describe the size of this dog. It is a Great Dane and is HUGE. The dog's body is taller than Price. Took him out twice. He was fine though. Scared him the first time but he was better the second. We really had a good time being with other people. Hopefully we can hang out with them more.
I know this post is long...Hopefully I will not let it go this long again without updating. Enjoy the pictures on the slide show (you will prolly need to turn your head on a few. I couldn't get them to uplaod correctly.) and talk to you soon!
