Colton's Quote Of The Week!!!

Warning this is a little grows:

So we are out spending time with the pigs this week...and well there is a particular area of the pin that the pigs all poop...Colton is down at that particular corner of the pin admiringly watching Bud and Boss do their business...his eyes not moving from the pigs he takes a deep sighing breath and says "They are so lucky they get to poop were ever they want".

That's my boy!

The Boy and The Talk

OK so...remember "The Boy" I talked to you about some months back...well...he is still buzzing around my daughter like a big black scary bumble bee...you know the kind you want to just run from screaming for your life...anyway...Darin and I have not budged one little Iota on all of our rules with this "THING" going on...and I must say I have been secretly hoping and expecting "The Boy" to turn tail and run...But NO...he's taken it like a real trooper and we aren't sure weather to hate him or like him for it...here are some of the rules just as an example...

-No texting

- in fact no cell phone at all

- you must call the house if you want to talk to our daughter...

-no movies unless we are with them in the theater and they don't have to sit with us but definitely in front of us...

-no mall unless we are with them...

just to name a few...

"The Boy" had a birthday party at his house that was from 5:30-10:00pm...Oh NO NO NO...we let her go for 2 hours and absolutely no bathing suit would be worn...we couldn't figure out if it was a pool party but we knew he had a pool and we were not going to go there!!! Anyway good thing too when we got there to pick her up I found 3 couples in the Jacuzzi hanging on each other with my daughter obediently sitting on the outside with her feet safely dangling in the cesspool of lust...

Just catching you up to yesterday...well hold on lets go back a little...a few days after the cesspool of lust Darin told my "I want to have a man to man talk with The Boy" I had a worried but curious response but on the inside I was jumping for joy thinking this is it...this is it...it's finally over he is going to break up with her after this for sure maybe even before so he doesn't have to go through "The Talk" at all....so I said you should let Brit know so she is expecting it and she can let him know...and the rest just poetry in motion...ya baby...NOPE...first we told the little princess and she said OK that's a good idea mom...I'll tell him...WHAT!!! So I pick her up from school and ask her well did you tell "The Boy" and she said "Ya!! He said OK...he looked a little scared but he said ok...OH MY GOSH...what does it take with this kid? So yesterday he called to ask if he could come over and Darin said yes...and told me I'm going to talk to him today...I said ok and well...after he was here for about 30 min. I hear Darin say "Hey come out here to the porch I want to talk to you a minute". Oh how I wish I could have been a fly on the wall...But My husband is such an awesome Father I mean it!!! They had a man to man talk about what we expected of him...that Brittani is special and he's lucky to be hanging around with her andThe Boy said "yes sir I agree" Darin told him how she is our most precious gift and if anything were to happen to that gift we would not be happy...and of course NO touching legs, hanging on each other and NO kissing...but holding hands is ok...IF she wants to and she will let him know if she does...Well "The Boy" said I completely understand Mr. Parson...Looked Darin straight in the eyes the entire time...then we all went to Superior Dairy for Ice cream...sooo The Boy is still around and looking a little better than he did the day before yesterday.

Ma'am

OK when did a qualify for the "Ma'am"...I don't want to be a "Ma'am"...I was in the grocery store today and a young man with his young family where coming out of an aisle with their cart that I was walking past with my cart and made this BIG gesture move backwards stopping his family where they stood and said......"Oh...excuse me MA'AM"....WHAT!!! by the look on his face you would have thought I was some little helpless old lady!!!! How and when did this happen!!!!!!!

Self Talk Soul Talk Ch 7

Calm Down: I Have Stilled and Quieted My Soul:
This chapter talks about going from a cool 0 degrees to a piping hot 150 degrees in nothing flat. Which comes from some serious percolating in your closet...one good thing to do is find out what you are holding on to with all your might that is keeping you from the peace we are promised in Gods word...and laying it or them down at the merciful feet of our creator...
Here are some of my favorite quotes from Ch 7
-Our reactions reveal the temperature inside our thought closet.
-Peace is a quality that can characterize our inner world even while our outer world goes crazy.
-Control over the events of our lives is a pleasant daydream at best and a cruel fantasy at worst. Even so, we all seem ready to embrace the mirage.
-Our trust in God is inextricably linked to our peace from God.
-Peace comes when we loosen our grip and let down our guard before our heavenly Father.
-The world needs the personal peace you can bring to it.
I leave you with this prayer:
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
2 Thessalonians 3:16
