{man movie}

Hud is not a wall flower in our house.  He is either having a blast or walking around totally annoyed at something or someone.  I have to write about the two latest things out of his mouth.  Hud was looking through the movie draw, so I asked him if he wanted to watch Cinderella.  He loudly replied, "NO, I wanna watch a MAN MOVIE" and lifted Pirates of  the Caribbean into the air.

One more, last night Hud was hanging out in P-man's room while P-man was talking a shower.  P-man walked in his room with a towel around his waist and Hud said, "gets some pants on....DUDE!"  P-man was cracking up and ran in to tell us what Hud said to him.  It was the joke for the rest of the night.  Everyone saying, "get some pants on....DUDE!"

{a safety}

A safety or safety touch is a type of score in American football and Canadian football and is worth two points (with one very rare exception). In American football, it is the only means by which a team not in possession of the football can score points. A safety may occur in a variety of ways, most commonly when an opponent in possession of the football is tackled in his own end zone. The term "safety" for an event that is, in fact, perilous for the team to which it occurs, is a relic of the earliest days of college football during which a team which possessed the ball near its own goal line could down it in its own endzone in order to have the ball replaced at its own 25-yard line. NFL statistics on safeties date back to 1932; from 1932 through the 2009 season (excluding 1943, for which statistics are not available), 822 safeties have been scored in the NFL.^[1]

{thank you alicia}

I LOVE, LOVE this mini album Alicia made for my birthday.  It is meaningful in so many ways.  It captures how much fun our families have together, our love for being crafty, and how we ALL are growing up (too fast.... by the way).  We look forward to seeing the Slacks and Starks every summer.  Thank you Alicia!!!  I miss my little buddy and our "coffee talk".  This is just the most awesomest thing ever!
