Can I get a whoo hoooo?

Whoooo hooooo!!!! Oh, my this week has been something else so I decided I really needed to recap.

Right now we find ourselves in the beginning of football season (conference play has just began) and smack in the middle of fall baseball and dance team competition season. This weekend my parents came to help with the kids since we were literally running from fall fest parade, running Saturday errands, dance team practice, golf tournament, makeup baseball games and finally hitting the couch! Man, that was a huge run on sentence sorry all you grammatically correct people!

This week Cannon started a new sitter Mrs. Ashley, our old sitter Carla unexpectedly moved to Branson (her husband got a promotion). At first we were told she would be here till November but last week at work I got a call on Thursday about 2:00 from Carla(I get off at 3:00 ) telling me that, that day would be her last day. So, I have a great friend who stays home with her children and she was interested in keeping one or two kids so we are so blessed to have her. Cannon had a great week also-it was just really different because Elliot is now taking Cannon every morning because Ashley lives right by the school. This change in routine actually made me and Caleb run late every morning??? who knows why?

All week long we never were in bed by 11:00, for any of you that know us well this is crazy we are in bed normally at 8:30 and it was my Friday to work...awful. And I had to plan, paint signs and decorate a float on Friday for fall fest Saturday morning. Great job to those who helped and a huge THANK YOU for the person who was SUPPOSED to be the chairman for the fall fest float-that last part was a little smarty pants-irresponsible people really bother me.

Let me know tell how our Friday ended.... WE WON WE BEAT CATHOLIC!!

Our boys were not predicted to win this week... Hooten's was predicting a 13 to 16 point spread well guess what HOOTENS it was the other way around!!!! Those HOOTENS people really need some new employees!!! This win was really bitter sweet! Even little Cannon Ty was yelling, "Go, Go , Go to Rycroft (the best running back in the state I might add)

Elliot's high school coach is the head coach at Catholic now so we were also able to see some great friends also. We were able to go to dinner before the rival started it was nice-4th quarter though I had to head to the sideline couldn't take it anymore!

Needless to say my husband is one happy man this weekend! After all the craziness yesterday my parents headed home and I headed to pick up a pizza and we watched the Iowa /Penn State game and were in bed by 8:45. Everyone at our house slept till 9:00 am and we are still in our pj's except for Elliot-THEY GOT THE DAY OFF WHOO OHOOOOO-so he is mowing the yard!

By the way the new DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES starts tonight- I think Elliot is more pumped than me!!! Don't tell guys!!

Duck Duck Goose

As I sit up waiting on my sweet hubby to come in from tonight game in Conway (big win by the way 35-7) I am so pumped about tomorrow. After dropping Caleb off at school I will head to Little Rock to attend the Duck Duck Goose sale-it is great!! It is consignment sale with great stuff last season everything I bought (Polo) was new still had the Dillards proof of purchase yellow tag on it. I bought over ten pieces for ready .... $65.00 not just shirts or shorts like rompers than usually are $65 a piece at Dillards. I felt like I was stealing when I walked out of the fairgrounds. I hope I can find some great stuff again, Cannon Ty is in need of clothes he is 17months and wears a 2T in pants and 2T/3T in pants. Wish me luck tomorrow...

Also, I will be posting all about my "sweet thang," tomorrow... it's his birthday!!!! I will also tell why I tend to call him sweet thang most of the time... very funny story.

Our sweet angel Quinn

Thank you all for prayers and thoughts during the past few days, words can't explain our appreciation.

I just wanted to send an update on Quinn.
Quinn went to be with his heavenly Father last night.
everyone already misses you sweet boy-we love you

Please continue to pray for the Troy and Greta and our entire family this will be a very difficult time for everyone and please continue to pray in the weeks to come- this will be even more difficult as the family adjusts.

Prayer...Please

Today, has been a very difficult day for our family. (the Hendersons,Jacobs, Gaddys, Wallace, Powell and I am sure I have missed a last name connected to our family-sorry it has been a day)



We need prayer and I am never ashamed to ask for it...



Our sweet little angel Quinn (a cousin) is 6 years old and was in a car accident.
He is at Alabama's Children Hospital in Mobile.
He is currently in a drug induced coma and has no brain activity.
This afternoon his amazing and loving parents were given the news that they would have to make the decision of when to end life support.
His parents have amazing faith and have a strong relationship with God. They need our prayers.



Today, I have cried at times been mad at times -have thought about my Caleb at times it has been a very hard today. We can not question the Lord and I know this and I will not do this. This is a decision no one especially a parent never wants to have to make. We know Quinn needs his heavenly father and he will be embracing his shortly.



Please pray for Greta (his mommy) and Troy( daddy) and lift them up to our Lord and Savior.

9-11

The first thing I need to say is if you get offended easily you may not want to read further....

Today, is a very important day to our nation. I can still remember exactly where I was standing in my dorm room at college when I saw the first plane hit the first tower and how Elliot's voice sounded when he told me in front of the library that his uncle was on one of the planes that crashed that day. He was a hero on the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania, he was one of the heroic men that attempted to regain control of the plane. So, we always have this tie to this day and I usually do cry every time someone speaks of this day. I did not know his uncle due to a divorce in the family I actually had not met him, but the our land was completely rocked that day and other humans jerked the rug from under our feet.

Most of you may know that Elliot and I our major republicans I mean as conservative as you can get. The political world has really caused us stress in the past year and we continue to pray that everyone will value "in God we trust." But, I often do not even comment on our President-I try to remain respectful even at times very hard-this morning while Cannon Ty and I were home I turned on the tv and saw the picture above. I began weeping so hard that I had to cover my face-this picture brought pain and aspect that I have yet to see from this man above. This picture captured some meaning for me and some new found respect. I have to admit I have not too much respect for this person but I will continue to pray everyday that he leads our country with "our" (Americans) best interest at heart.

I am so thankful to be an American and I thank daily the men and women who serve our country and who begin serving our country in the future. Each time I think of the selflessness it takes to join the armed services it brings tears to my eyes-I am so thankful.

So, as this 9-11 passes I feel that I let go of some bitterness towards Obama and I will look forward and be more positive. (Now, I didn't say I liked him or anything like that... sorry I had to add my humor.)

Thank you and we will always remember...

ROOOOLLLLLL TIDE!!! GO BAMA!!!!

Well, even though we play night GO HORNETS!!!!!! Last night we had a great win against Searcy in JV action! The offense looked great ( good job honey) the defense I am sure will be getting a good little talk today while watching film- sorry boys!

Silver Dollar City Baby!!!!

This week is a super busy week at the Jacobs' house.....

• First, I have to complain about the post service... yes the government ran United States Postal Service..... I sent a precious little Texan-Charly her football shirt and bow this weekend. When I arrived home on Tuesday I found a box on my front steps, in this box contained the package I mailed to Channa (Life as a Coach's Wife-fav blog) for Charly. The post office some how who knows basically shredded the package-they tore off a bow from the shoulder and shredded her hair bow. I was so upset-I called Channa told her what happened she was super sweet-fixed it last night and remailed it today after work. Please say a prayer for the package today!
• Tomorrow night is our first JV game of the season! Go HORNETS!!!! So, what does that mean for me? Well, since I am sure you are dying to know.... school night on tests on Friday for Caleb. We will be studying spelling words and reading at the stadium. Yes, I am embarrassing to my child! Thanks! Also, I have 5 bows to finish by 5:00 tomorrow-delivered by kick off for 8th grade dance team! Our game is at 7:30
• SALT BOWL-its kinda a big deal around here! Friday night we are headed to the big game at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock-such a great opportunity for the boys to play where the Razorbacks play. We are very excited-11 straight wins for Bryant in the Salt Bowl-lets make it 12 boys!
• Friday night after the Salt Bowl we are headed to -(sorry about the awful header only thing I could find) BRANSON!!!! Whoooo hooooo! We are so pumped and we really need this weekend vacation and I mean we NEED it! We are headed there until early morning Monday-we have to head back for football meetings and practice. We are so thankful they are getting the weekend off.
• Saturday we are headed to where other than: SILVER DOLLAR CITY!!!! Caleb and I are so ready to ride some roller coasters. We are staying a new resort where if you bought one day you got the 2nd free at Silver Dollar City plus the resort/hotel has an indoor water park-can't wait. I know some of you are thinking she is a little too excited about Branson but I love the beach we go every year and last year we started going to Branson in the fall and it was my first time last year and we loved it! There is a LOT of retirees but its great!!! We love the food too! I already know what I am eating at Silver Dollar City~ its planned out!

I am sleeping in on Sunday till at least 8:30 am and I want to lay in bed for a bit and just watch TV. We also want to rest on this trip before our week starts back over.

Lastly, I really need to share two things:

1. We found out yesterday that our babysitter may be moving, we will know on Saturday. I am very sad about this because I love her so much and trust her with everything. This move would be great for their family and I completely understand because we tend to move every few years for Elliot to better himself with his job. Please pray that if they do move we are able to find someone again as great as Carla.

2. Today, I found out that an amazing friend of mine (who is a mother and wife) has cancer and things are not looking good at all. They have small children and I can't stop thinking and praying for them. I have limited information but it has moved fast over her body and we are just praying for the days she will have with her children and husband. I love yall!

I hope everyone has a great football weekend and I hope things go yall's way (WIN)!!!
