AAaaaahhhhchooooooo!!!
Well.... I drug myself out of bed... can't breathe... throat is scratchy... of course I'm NOT going to work... it's the polite thing to do... So I am sitting here looking at the computer thru blurry eyes and I have a BIG wad of tissues close at hand. Don't worry... I'm NOT posting a picture of this... it's NOT a pretty sight! I am a blob... don't feel like doing a thing... so I guess I'll go drink juice and check out daytime TV!

Happy Labor Day!
Yay it's Labor Day! Yay we have a day off! BUT... our labor day weekend was all about... laboring! But somehow laboring at home is WAY more fun than laboring at work! We did some more house projects... 
Mike continued on the moulding project...
I love it! That little bit of wood really makes a difference.
But besides laboring on the house and cleaning and shopping and laundry etc etc... we did take a little time out to do some yummy EATING and visit with some of the kids and watch a movie. So Happy Labor Day everyone ... I hope your weekend was fun!

Big game hunters...
For those that didn't know... this week was the opening season for dove hunting... 
Here are the big game hunters after a yummy breakfast, all ready to go out and bring home the food. Oh yeah... they wanted to make sure it is noted that this picture was taken at 5ish in the morning. They went hunting twice this week.... and all I want to know is... where's the meat?!?!?!?

from Brazil...
Here's the latest from our missionary:
Oí famíliaHey how´s it going? Today we had zone conference with president and it was just a short one. It was mostly just to say goodbye to the missionaries leaving. But the theme of the conference was planning better. The mission is doing good baptizing about 140 every month, but we need to plan better so that every companionship baptizes every month. We have a goal for baptisms, but every one has to help out so we can reach our goal. I also got two packages today! ... both from mom. This week is the wedding and also the baptism right after. We´ve been inviting people and i´m pretty sure it will be great. My companion is trunky like you can´t imagine, next monday he goes to Goiânia and then tuesday afternoon he`s at home. This week we found two great families! But it will be me and my next companion who will be baptizing them. We are for sure baptizing them because for some reason the branch is actually doing it´s job and being friends with the investigators and doing family home evening at their houses and doing everything right. ... My week has been good, just working hard and constant. That´s another thing president was stressing today, being more constant. It´s been a good week, i got my packages what could be better besides baptizing. Any questions for me? See you all next week. Elder Lewis

The eagle has landed!
I guess you have to be as old as dirt like me to remember the famous quote: "the Eagle has landed" (Apollo 11, first manned spacecraft to land on the moon. You've probable read about it in history, but I watched it on TV!)... anyway... our ward had a GREAT idea. They wanted to do something for the boys that achieved their eagle, but never got recognized. Trent.. just like my other boys... was just glad the eagle thing was over and chose not to do the ceremony. So ... our ward had a big eagle court of honor for 6 boys... actually "young MEN"... they were all 18+! Trent "gladly" accepted the invitation (HA) and attended!
Here is Trent by his display table before the ceremony... No pics of the ceremony... it was in the Chapel. But it was VERY nice! There were great talks and scout stuff and wonderful (and hilarious) impromptu thank you speeches by the eagles!
Here is Trent after the ceremony with his eagle pin and neckerchief. A guy in uniform... always a handome sight!
Woo Hoo!! we got parent pins!
Here is Trent with Brother Tate who was VERY instrumental in helping Trent get his eagle.(THANK YOU!!!!) Also a BIG thanks goes to Brother Brummett, Sister Tate, Brother Spencer, Brother LeSueur and many other leaders and Mike for his wood expertise.

still a pretty important event!

catchin up...
My bloggin is a little behind.. so it is catch up time! BUT..... it is WAY past my bedtime... AGAIN... so I will only get one post done and maybe tomorrow I will catch up on the rest. But I'm sure no one really cares about my ramblin on... (that's what happens when it's past my bedtime) ... so here's the latest craft night:
It was hair barrette night a few days ago again at Teresa's. This time we experimented with material.
Oh yeah... there were cute guys there too. Trent came along for fun but for some reason didn't want to craft... neither did Ty!
Teresa modeling some of our creations...
Dalin enjoyed craft night too, but he didn't craft either. Must be a guy thing.
Teresa and her boys.

from Brazil
Here's the latest from our missionary/wedding planner!
Oí famíliaThe modeling looked hilarious! And also the t-shirt is good. This week a little girl from the branch got baptized she turned 8 on sat and we baptized her on sunday. Nothing much happened this week again. Our attendence has been going down so we´ve been visiting alot of less active´s this week. My comp had his last interview with president this week so his mission is pretty much overwith. the rainy season has officially started. We were at a non-member´s house sunday night with the branch president and other members and it started to rain and hasn´t stopped. I have to buy another umbrella because i left mine at my last house. We are helping a lady plan her wedding in 2 weeks. Last week we got her to send all the papers but we forgot about the reception. Her wedding and baptism are on the 5th of september and we have just about nothing planned for her. That´s aout all the going on here, really busy. I still haven´t got any packages. any other questions? I don´t have to take a shower with a bucket. There´s a big tub on top of our house and that water goes to the shower and other stuff in the house. Like in new york, there´s water on top of the buildings and gravity is the pressure. Any more news from you guys? Have you guys heard about a church that used the tithing money to open businesses in the u.s.? that´s been a big deal here these past few weeks. And also, some member of ours came to church with that swine flu. Last month the flu got to anápolis and the dude´s kid got it and passed it to him and then he went to church and passed it to who knows how many other people. I sure hope i don´t get it. See you all later. Elder Lewis

About Me
- mamajo
- Hi there everyone! I've noticed that a lot of people have a little life story on their blogs. So, always wanting to keep up with the latest BLOG trends, I've decided to put on a little blurb about my life for anyone that's interested. BUT, so no one is bored or has heard it all, I've put MY LIFE in ORIGINAL story form... Once upon a time there was a brown eyed girl, born of goodly parents, who set out on a journey. She traveled for a very VERY long time, through desert, mountains and forests and along the way she brought with her 6 wonderful treasures. But, alas, there were dark times, battles and dragons along the way, but she kept on going, with her treasures giving her strength and direction. Then in the desert, she met a blue eyed handsome prince, who had also been on a long long journey, and he had 2 treasures. So as you might have already guessed the ending.... the brown eyed girl and the blue eyed prince along with their treasures and a bunch more treasures, lived very happily ever after! Life is GOOD! It's party time now!
