Go Big Red!!

Nebraska opens the season tonight with a game against Western Michigan!

Go BO!
And our hometown boy....#23 Lance Thorell at Cornerback!

Amen, Sister!

Addie is getting more frustrated with Luke all the time because when she's playing he's right there ready to mess it all up. She asked me why we ever had to have Luke. Then at lunch she prayed "Please don't bring us any more babies. Luke is enough!"

Luke, a very full fish, and Singing Babies

Luke fed the fish for me on Saturday......

It looks like a snow globe after you shake it.....

The girls made some money at a lemonade stand on Saturday so we went to Dollar General yesterday to find some treasures. They wanted to get something for Luke so they picked out a DVD called "Singing Babies". It was on $0.20 (Big sale over at DG!!) and it is worth every penny. It's hilarious!!

1st Day of 1st Grade!

Emma went back to school today! She gets to ride the bus to Funk which is about 15 miles away. She is still a Loomis Wolf though! The Loomis High School was torn down in May so a new one could be built. All the 7-12 students are now in the elementary school and the K-6 students are bussed to Funk each day for class. The school should be complete by Christmas. She is most excited about the bus ride!

She picked out her own outfit and the headband is her favorite - a gift from Aunt Anna.

I'm 37!...or maybe 22?!?

UPDATE!!

How many of you tried this? And did you do it more than once? The first time I got a 37, but then tried it a few more times. I think a low score is better than a high score. When I did my best I got a 22. Keep Trying....

Try this!!
This test will tell you if your brain is as old as your body.

The site doesn't know your age, but it will tell you the age of your brain power.

The website is at the bottom. Once you get there you won't be able to read the Japanese instructions, so follow these instructions:

1. Touch 'start'

2. The numbers 3 then 2 then 1 will pop up on the screen.

Immediately following the number 1, several numbers will flash on the screen for barely one second.

3. Memorize the numbers' position on the screen, then click the circles from the SMALLEST NUMBER TO THE BIGGEST NUMBER.

4. At the end of game, the computer will tell you in years, how old your brain is.Sounds complicated but it's really easy.

Think fast.

Let me know how you do!
