{Ten on Tuesday...}

 source pinterest
 quote of the week LOVE it.

1. The weeks are flying by and my timing is pretty much off or booked pretty tight with all things end of school related! 
So looks like T on T is what we get lately!

2. Soccer is officially over for another season hallelujah! The kids had fun though and that is what counts {actually K didn't his team lost every game which frustrated the life out of him he is a really good player 

and got so frustrated with the lack of team work!} So I guess he learned a few lessons this season. But I still feel really sad for him.

3. I got yelled at by a little sweet old lady today.... for a u turn I made to the post office.... she asked me if I knew it was a illegal...to which I said I know..... lots of things are and this is my illegal she said she almost got hit one time I said i was sorry that happened but I look and usually only do it when nobody is around....... *time* right...anyway guess you had to be there we had a nice little chat it was kind of funny.... 
I thought she needed help so I went to help her but she just wanted to get mad at me..... really I do it so my 5 year old doesn't run into traffic in the 5 seconds I run into check the mail. because my doors don't stay locked long when your inside...so a u turn saves me time and saves my child's life probably......... {until i get a ticket ha ha}

4. So I'm on parent council here....anyway in a meeting last month I stood up for an issue I believe in/against..I voted No..... I was the only one..... out of about 8 but because I said no {my face went red and my heart started pounding,} but because I did 2 other people rescinded there vote and we took another month to think about it..... where it ended up being 4 vs 4 in the end and will probably end up being in a parent survey. Moral of the story sometimes its hard to  
stand up for what you believe in 
but in the end you don't know what it can do. If anything I'm glad I did. 
Big or small it all matters to me.

5.


6. Sunday at grandmas ended a little traumatic my nephew  broke his arm pretty much in half in two places.  The kids were playing around the horse coral looking at the horses my nephew was on the fence and jumped down landed on his arm.....the little kids heard it snap and saw the bone through the skin...
they were a little traumatized....
it was a scary but K ran as fast as he could to the house to get his dad..... his face was white as a ghost so I knew he was not fooling around. So my nephew will spend the whole summer in 4-6 different casts poor boy! We went to visit him last night in the hospital he has been in the hospital since Sunday and should be going home tomorrow. Life eh.

6. Sunday night My brother in law says to L 
{and the rest of us in the kitchen}
" My girl friend is coming out later"...
L says "which one?"
HA HA we all died laughing..... poor kids are getting confused Ryan ;)j/k

7. The kids had cowboy day at school last week look at these cute kids...


8. um these are really good..... as L says "these are a definitely a keeper mom" and as D says "these are your best ever" so really give it a try they are so worth it...... from our best bites


9.My kids are growing up to fast. 
I strongly dislike it. But i love to watch them interact and love and care about each other when they do!
10.
 ....that is for sure because nothing is perfect or the way we imagined it to be but that is life the unexpected happens, hearts are broken, pain is evident, plans are derailed. Look around and someone is always worse off then we are and really sometimes but it can be hard to find the wonderful. But if we choose to think it is wonderful and pick something or one thing that was wonderful about each day it can change us. 
Small steps I'm learning slowly....even if some days you have to think long to find what was good about it.

and because we all need a good laugh sometimes....thats pretty much what I did when I read this {sorry}

:) Have a great week...make it count...

No. 4 - GOOD for you!! That is awesome. All it takes is one voice to change something huge.

No. 6 - OUCH!!! So sorry to hear. The same thing happened with one of my sister's best friends when we were teens. My sister was extremely traumatized holding her friend's arm all the way to the hospital when my mom came to drive her there (she is a nurse and was the town nurse as well). So yeah..hard for kids to see something like that. Poor kid. I can't imagine the pain.

Although, I am very much impressed with K for going to his rescue like that. It's hard to think straight in an emergency. He did great!

No. 6 and 10 - Hilarious!!!!

No. 7 - Holy Cuteness!!! They need to come to the Calgary Stampede this year. ; D They would fit right in.

No. 8 - Yum!!! I just love Best bites!!!

P.S. Almost there with my computer issues being over. ; S

Little kids thaat break their arms/legs always do it right before the summer starts! Poor kid! I love these posts. Good job for standing up for yourself!

I love that first picture/quote...I don't know how you find all the things you do on the internet...but I benefit so thx :)
I'm so sad for Peter I hope it heals super fast and he won't be in too much pain.
The breadsticks I'll have to try for sure, they look good!
If done in the right way, it's never a bad thing to stand up for values and virtues and making u turns isn't the worst thing you could do.
Oh I posted a couple pix of cute Karsen...I have so many more to choose from of course but...those ones were pretty precious, just like him. love that boy!!
Great Post Christal!

Your poor nephew, that's awful.
I don't do the U turn, I go into the ally to turn around. No ticket that way!

My sister snapped her arm in two when we were on vacation in the States and had to have a metal rod put in her arm. She was about 10 or 11.

Cowyboy day was so much fun. Tanner said to me on the way home: Mom, what do cowboys eat? I told him: hamburgers. He replies: no mom, REAL cowboys. I said they probably eat beans so he said, then let's have beans for lunch so we can be like the real cowboys.
He wanted to take his stick horse but I told him no. I'll have to post his picture up on my blog soon.

Good for you for standing up for what you believe. I'm sure it was hard, but that's what makes us stronger. You are such a great example of faith and strength.

Love the first quote and I love reading your blog! It will be fun to see you in July. Have you found a babysitter, yet? Those breadsticks look so yummy, I have to try.

Sharon said...

The Lowry's said...

Great quotes, all of them! Tried the fajitas from BB last night. Yummy but my kids don't like peppers so Jeff and I enjoyed them. I keep trying though, maybe one day they will like them. Good for you for standing up!! Took my letter into the office today to be on council. Without you I wouldn't even know I could be on it. Love ya.

I LOVE #10,so cute (and sadly, so true). We need to be in the same ward, so we can be friends!

Lynsey said...

This is Lynsey (Schow) Bowman and I am the absolute worst at leaving comments, but I just wanted to say how much I love reading your blog! Your posts always leave me wanting to be a little better, to try a little harder and to just be happy!:) I have looked up to you (and all of your sisters for that matter:)) for as long as I can remember and I love that even though we are no longer in the same ward I get to continue learning from you! THANK YOU!

I had to laugh at #3. I got yelled at by a old man for the same thing, here in Magrath. I was a little annoyed, but whatever! ha ha! That's sad about #6. Cadence has 2 more weeks in her cast then it's off...YEAH! But her arm wasn't broken as bad. Tell them to ask about the waterproof casts. I had no idea they even existed. We went in yesterday and took her old one off and put a waterproof one on. She's in swim lessons and it works great. It does cost money, but the $20 was well worth it for me.

I always enjoy reading your blog!

Haha, love the butt quote. And the story about the old lady yelling at you, and your reason for doing the u-turn. Oh man, it sounds like M sure keeps you on your toes. Y'know, that's one thing I LOVE about your blog. You're real. You don't portray your life to be perfect, all rainbows and cupcakes. You mix the fun memories, cute kid stuff, in with the daily life stuff really well, and inspire as you do it. Thanks. Hugs Christal.
