Down With YouTube!

Okay, so I found out that the "youtube" thing isn't as cool as I thought. Recent videos that I uploaded to the ever-so-popular-video sharing system attached a menu leading to some not so cool videos. SO....here we are with a recommended, and safe, alternative!

Introducing "Jayden Sings Rescue" managed by "GodTube"!

Annoying Conveniences!

Recently I found myself really irritated! This summer, I've been traveling between Grandma's house and home...and I was getting irritated at home. No, Stacey and I have not been fighting. Yes, I still, most of the time, think the boys are an incredible blessing. It's just that at home, I had a problem...and it was driving me crazy!

What was the problem? THIS!


Okay, so you probably don't know what this is, but let me explain. This little piece is what was keeping my ice maker at home from working! It's called a "water inlet valve".

I know, crazy isn't it. Why in the world would such a stupid thing like a broken ice maker keep me irritated? Because I like ice!!!

When I visit grandma, I kinda roam around. Meaning, I don't have ice at my convenience down there. So why... Why does it bother me so much at home? It is because when I am at home I am accustomed to having ice and it was not there any more! And now, with the weather being so unbelievably HOT...I want ICE!

I know, it is silly to write a whole blog about such a little thing. But this little piece represents a big distraction...and I did something about it!

The point? You decide!

A Trip to the Movie

Friday, August 10, Stacey had a great responsibility...drive Camp Spark* (12 kids and two teachers) to Jefferson City to watch the movie "Flushed Away". Stacey, when living in Eureka a few years back, got her CDL and is sometimes asked to drive the church bus. This was a fun opportunity. I was invited along to help with Jayden and Zeke...so I accepted. This was Zeke's first movie and he did not care to sit still. However, Jayden really seemed to enjoy himself.

*Camp Spark is a summer day-camp for elementary aged kids. It is hosted by UHBC. The movie trip was a special treat since today was the last day of camp. It was an honor to be a part of the event and Stacey did a GREAT job driving the kiddos around.
