Will you be joining the next family movie night? Game Time: Tackling the Past

Walmart & P&G are teaming up again to bring us another great movie to watch with your family!
Did you watch the last movie: Who's Simon Miller?

The next movie will be this Saturday September 3rd at 8pm/7C on NBC. The movie's called Game Time: Tackling the Past. If you like football then this one's definitely for you.

Pro football star Jake Walker is living the dream… or so he thinks. The veteran tight end is a fan favorite and on pace to set the all-time receiving yards record that will guarantee him a spot in the Hall of Fame. While working out at training camp, Jake receives an unexpected call from his brother Dean – their father Frank has suffered a major heart attack. Jake immediately leaves practice and returns to Riverton, North Carolina, the small hometown he’s avoided for nearly 15 years. Memories of glory and regret flood his mind as he returns to the family and friends he abandoned in pursuit of his career. Jake dutifully visits with Frank and Dean, but hurt and misunderstanding from the past begins to resurface, leaving him counting the days until he can return to his team.

A second unexpected call, this time from his agent, delivers Jake another crushing blow. His contract is not being renewed amid concerns about his surgically repaired knee. Suddenly, the life Jake knows is over. To avoid the media circus around this news, Jake reluctantly decides to extend his stay in Riverton. Attempting to make the best of the situation, he begins reconnecting with the community that once revered him. Jake is reintroduced to Sarah, his high school sweetheart, and helps Dean take over their father’s high school coaching job.

Surprisingly impacted by the people around him, the real Jake begins to emerge from behind his armor to see that life is much more than the accumulation of personal stats. But when Jake’s offered a lucrative new contract to play for another team, he is forced to decide whether to go back to the career he thought he loved, or stay in Riverton and embrace the people who always believed in him.

what a nightmare

I got a message from a friend today asking why my blog was no longer there????
I checked and it was deleted due to suspicious activity. Not sure what that means but I wa panicking alright.
I had to take my 4-year old for her check-up, she's now 41" and 38 pounds! No wonder she's been having growing pains, she's just shooting up.
After I got back from the doctor's office my blog was back. So thankful it wasn't gone forever.

back from camping

We're back from an awesome camping trip to Timothy Lake, Oregon. We went with 4 families, lots of kids and we all had a blast.

It was 80's during the day and we played a lot in the lake but at night it was in the 40's and I think I've never been that cold!

Here's a picture of my feet on the first night, this will give you an idea how dusty it was there!

Well, there's no good camping without the lake and some Cheetos as you can see in below picture of Abby:

Of course at the camp fire, there were lots of ghost stories to be told:

Well, back to the normal schedule! I will pick the Family Night winner later today as I need to take my youngest to a meet and greet in her school in about an hour.

Talk to you later.

In 2 weeks this beautiful girl will be ours!!!

She's 2 years old and just incredible. The kids have been working hard and cleaning hard to get the house ready for her. She is going to be so loved!!!!

She's had a litter and the puppies will be away from her on the 12th. Does anybody know how long you have to wait to spay her? We will ask the vet when we take her for a check-up, but maybe some of you will know.

The breeder just sent me this picture with her gorgeous eyes open!
