Saturday, we head out for our last youth mission trip.  We're going to Chicago and then heading for Cornerstone.  I am beyond excited about this trip.  It's kind of bitter sweet because we are no longer youth directors when we get home.  It's either because we are resigning or they get in so much trouble that we get fired.  I love watching the kids grow on these trips and I'm ecstatic.
When we're in Chicago we get to stay with these guys.

Flatfoot 56....it's a long story.

Last Saturday, our youth group gave us a going away bar-b-que.  It was glorious.  There was a great potluck and they had a 'roast.'  They had great center-pieces on all the tables with pictures of goats, 'melon + E', and little rubber snakes  (for J). 
It was great to see some of our former graduates, and the youth parents did a great job of thanking us.  We still have a mission trip to pull off next week and I can't even put into words how excited I am about it.  We're going out with a bang, baby!

On that note, one of my former youth got a new tattoo.

It's called......the Titty Twister.

And it Star Wars news... August 15th- the Clone Wars.  In theaters everywhere.  I saw a preview and it actually doesn't look that terrible.

Every night when we lay J down for bed we say his prayers with him.  This is how it went the other night...
Me: Thank you God, for Mommy
J: Thank you God for Mommy
Me: for Daddy and J
J: for Daddy and J
Me: for Reese (our dog)
J: for Reese
Me: Who else?
J: R and N (the Green girls)
Me: R and N...who else?
J: and Jenny
Me: and Jenny.  Who else?  Naiti?
J: No, no Naiti.
Me: No Naiti?
J: Naiti.
Me: Naiti! (shooh, he might get to heaven after all)
J: No Naiti

Sorry dude.  I tried.  But my son has apparently decided you're unfit to be prayed for.

My birthday celebration went off without a hitch.  We continued the new tradition of taking J to the zoo on my birthday.  We had some peeps over and Rock Band'ed your face off.


This is J with a bird eating off the seed stick.


J petting the goat.


We also continued the tradition of putting him in the safari car with the big scary animals, "No Daddy! Don't want the animals!"


Last years meltdown.


Old dudes playing Rock Band.
Please notice the handsome Viking/Captain America rocking the guitar.


I'm at a loss for words.


What's a birthday party without the spontaneous sword fight.


And lost but definitely not least, we found the Freebird's moving to Arlington in August!

My mom is a puritan.
This isn't meant to be name calling she's just, how do I say this, rather modest in how she conducts herself.  We were never allowed to say 'bull.'  My brother is about to turn 21 and she still won't let him watch the Simpsons when he's at home.  She tends to be extremely conservative in her social views.
So it came as quite a shocking surprise the other night when I got a message on our answering machine that said she had just scored a 95% on Guitar Hero.  My brother took his PS2 home for the summer and it appears he's given her a tutorial on how to rock.
I sent her an email and asked her what song she dominated.
Her response....."Speak dirty to me."  She meant "Talk Dirty to Me" by Poison.  Which creeps me out on every imaginable level.  When I responded to her email and corrected her, she replied. "Oh, well when I play I change the words to "Jesus, Speak Your Word to Me."
This makes baby Brett Michaels cry.


I turned 33 on Friday.  That's the age that Jesus died and it's kind of depressing.  I mean, look at everything he accomplished by the time he died.  I don't even have any disciples yet.  Then I realized that they didn't choose him, he chose them.  So I'm in the market for a few disciples.  No experience required.
Naiti offered to crucify me.  So I've always got that going for me.

I decided to get a tattoo for my birthday.  But when the big day rolled around we couldn't find a babysitter.  We considered taking our 2 year old to a tattoo parlor, but then common sense got the best of us.  I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time someone took their kid with them to get a tattoo.  Just the first time someone did it sober.
Maybe next weekend.



If you've ever played Grand Theft Auto you'll think that's funny.  If you haven't...why are you reading my blog?
