Thankful Day #15...Our TouchPad And youtube.com

how do we bribe, penalize, and reward our son? yep. with this little device right here! it has been the driving force behind the things that DO or DO NOT happen at our house when it pertains to carter. of course i make sure that i know what he is watching but unless it has something to do with lawn mowers, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, or four wheelers, he's not even bothered so i'm not too worried!? ;)
thank goodness for technology!!! whatever did my own parents do to survive?!? oh yeah. never mind. i know what their answer was...

2 "Nintendo Game Boy's"!!! hehehe :)

Thankful Day #14...The Summer Races

"the trial is a "lion fight" so chin up, put your shoulders back, walk proud, and strut a little. don't lick your wounds, celebrate them. the scars you bare are a sign of a competitor. you're in a "lion fight". just because you didn't win doesn't mean that you don't know how to roar. don't forget that. NEVER forget that."












until next summer....
