Reese has developed a new found love of peanut butter. She will sit with an open jar and a spoon and just munch away, it is pretty funny.

Mad props go out to Hartsock today, he delivered the message at church yesterday and was straight money.

Plans continue for Jum's trip home and the NYC trip...

Happy Monday

Major Announcement for Cincinnati Beck Fans We are extremely excited to announce that Glenn Beck will be returning to 55KRC THE Talk Station, starting today! We have heard from so many Glenn Beck fans over the last couple of years and know the passion you have for Glenn Beck in Cincinnati. So sick freaks enjoy Glenn Beck every weekday from 9 till noon on 55KRC The Talk Station!

Draft Review

The Heat did it! They landed Huggs recruit and future stud Michael
Beasley last night. That alone would have been enough to get an A
grade from me, but then they went ahead and added Mario Chalmers from
the Jayhawks National Championship team.

Chalmers and Beasley should both be in the starting line-up, which
will make watching games a ton of fun.

Have a great weekend!

Supreme Court Gun Decision

The U.S. Supreme Court Thursday, in a 5-4 ruling, for the first time in U.S. history declared the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution contains a specific right to individual gun ownership and rejected Washington, D.C., handgun restrictions, which were the strictest in the nation.

Guitar Hero

So, as part of the family time extravaganza we got to rock out to Guitar Hero and Rock Band. This was an absolute blast! I even have some sweet pics of Momma rockin' out on drums that I will post up for you later. Although, the game clearly has flaws since it did not recognize my pitch brilliance on "Wanted Dead or Alive"...

This game will def be the first thing we purchase when the Wii is in house. One of the songs we rocked out to that I actually heard on XM this morning and head-banged to was:



The NBA Draft is tonight, look for my review tomorrow. I hope the Heat select Michael Beasley, for the record...

Two Week Hiatus

After some time away, the Heat Stadium is back, and we are bringing HEAVY news and pics...

First thing first, we have had a ton of great family time over the last two weeks. I think it is safe to say I have myself a Daddy's girl...

Daddy B and Aunt Krys were in town, and we got to hang with Momma and the Slim Shady Posse.

Check out the next generation of Furniss below, from left to right, Carleigh, Addie, My Gizmo, and Legend, (even my boy Tru made the pic, behind Reese in Bon's brown top):


Here is another pic from our trip to the Newport Aquarium:


Now, on to the other HUGE news. Thanks to my man Guido, I have the distinct pleasure of taking part in the:


Thru some amazing negotiations Guido has secured two tix to the Summer Classic, so we are taking a roady to the Big Apple. This is an incredible once in a lifetime opportunity!!!

My boy N2, owner of the hated Vendettas club, is giving us a place to lay our head and shower while we are there.

Will be hard to top this post moving forward, but will keep you better updated of the daily blessings that are life in the Heat Stadium...

Guess I am not the only one...

Solid article in the LA Times about the distaste by conservative Republicans in Ohio for Juan McCain, read it HERE

Taken from Hartsock's Blog

Katie Reider is a singer/songwriter, whose brother just happens to be our worship leader at 4 Corners.

She was diagnosed with a rare tumor that spread to her sinuses and jaw. Needless to say, treatment of this is extensive, invasive and expensive...

You can read more about her story by clicking thru the photo.

So some of her friends have setup a website to help with expenses for Katie and her family. They are trying to get 500,000 visits in one year and have each person by an album by Katie for $1. An amazing offer to listen to great music and help an amazing voice sing again...thanks!

(Thank you to Hartsock for posting this on Beautiful and Grotesque and bringing it to our attention)

Mega Post

Once again, I have been negligent, and there has been a lot going on:

• Jase had the exact same muscle biopsy procedure I had, his was this past Friday. He got great news as well, he is negative for MH. Now, once Jum gets confirmation he is negative after he gets out of the Army, we will officially have removed it from the bloodline.
• Saturday night we got a chance to visit Squibb's house for a 30th Birthday cookout and had a great time
  
• Sunday we had a phenomenal experience with a 4 Corners Road Trip, where families dispersed all around the area to the homes of members who were hosting lunch. The point was to emphasize that church is so much more than a building, it is about people and relationships. We had 3 families visit us, and had an absolute blast! Read all about it and see pics HERE

This is a pic from Sunday:

• Bon had an appt with her doctor Wednesday morning. It was Dr. Amy's first chance to look at the ultrasound. It was her opinion that we have a boy on the way as well, so that is two votes...
  
• Our boy Pipes just got hired at the University of Minnesota to be the Director of Equipment for the football team. This means that we will be supporting the Gophers, and gives me another reason to root against OSU
  
• Big Bro, S-Braine, has an amazing opportunity in front of him. When it is official I will spread the word, but in the meantime trying to keep it on the down-low. He may be an AD soon
  
• I will be activated from the disabled list this week for softball
• I have been crushing on the Goo Goo Dolls lately, check out one of their tunes below

We continue to live in amazing blessings and are humbled by how amazing God has been to us. We have heard some awful stories recently of battles some folks are going thru, and feel so fortunate.

Thank you all for reading the blog and being part of our lives.
