RIP my 1T Seagate External Hard Drive

Right now I am mourning the loss of this beautiful, sleek, silver external hard drive that has served me so well over the past three years! Each and every time i downloaded pictires off my camera, i dutifully tranaferes them to this 1Terabyte hard deive (so as not to bombard my desktop with too many rhings). thousands of our pictures from the past 17 months tucked somewhere inside its deep dark folders!! I took this precious piece of hardware to our computer repairman and $50 later he told me he could not retrieve the data and pictures off of our beloved hard drive but possibly some high tech lab in California could do it and it would cost $1000-$1500!!! (Did you catch the word "possibly" in there).

Well,

Outlaws FC '04 Silver

Mallory and Hayley's soccer team is on our Outlaw FC club's website today!

They really played hard in this game. The game was at 12:00 on August 17th and it was HOT!!! Like 99 degrees HOT! Our girls played so hard! Hayley ended up playing goalie the 2nd half because our goalie went out with heat exhaustion right before halftime. We only had 8 girls to start the game (we play 8 on 8) and so we played the whole second half with only 7 players and we lost 2-0 against a really good team (who also had 4-5 girls on their bench that they could sub in).

In our minds--that game was a win! Our girls played their hearts out!

Brittney's Drawing

I had to post this picture Brittney drew a few weeks ago.

 Brittney was complaining about doing her chores for the day so I sent to her pick an "Extra Job" from the Job Jar we have. Her job was "Draw a picture of you happily doing your chores".

This is what she came up with!

I think Brittney is a great little artist and such a cutie!

 When she was finished she said, "Mom, I drew you too with a happy face because I did my jobs." The picture has been hanging on our fridge for a few weeks and it makes me smile every time I see it!

Brittney is so fun and such a sweetheart! She will always be my little buddy--I am really missing her now that she is in school all day!
