Plano Balloon Festival 08
What a night. This was our second year to attend Plano Balloon Festival and we had a great night. Josiah Jumped on a trampoline with bungee cords attached, we ate carnival food, watched Hot Air Balloons, Sky Divers, and Fireworks, all while hanging out as a family with some good friends. I think Everyone had fun!

Go Hawks!
The boys were at it early today with pre-game team pictures and then the game. Josiah was so excited all week! His highlight real included stealing the ball, running all the way down field to have one of his team mates steal it at the last minute to kick it in the goal!
Josiah is such a team player that he still gave two thumbs up after it happened! I am so proud of him. He is really getting pretty good.

It’s Finished . . .
The boxes from Ikea are empty and the stuff is put together!!! It only took me until 4:00am to get it all done.
No I haven’t lost my mind. Jackson was throwing up last night (6 times in less than an hour) thanks to Long John Silvers and we were watching his fever to make sure he was ok. Therefore, today I am paying for it!
Here are the pics.

Crazy Good
This week has been crazy busy, but as I write this I can’t help but think how good the week was. Here is a brief shakedown of my week:
Monday – All day leadership training at Grace click here to read more!
Tuesday – Student Staff Meeting, Interview and audition/practice with perspective Student Worship Candidate.
Wednesday – Jackson had a doctor appointment in the AM, this always make for an exciting PM and it did. At about 6:00 pm as we were getting ready to leave for a ball game with students, Jackson starts crying and throwing his head back as if he is in pain. He would calm down for a little while, like a minute, and then start again. Each time he would wear himself out causing him to have to try to catch his breath because he was crying so hard. After about thirty minutes I got him to calm down by talking loudly to him saying, “Daddy’s here, you are going to be ok, Jackson Daddy’s here, you are going to be ok!” It amazes me how a comforting voice can can change how others feel. He started to calm down after that. However, it was really scary.
From this, we went to the ball park. It may sound bad but our thought was if we were going to have to take him to the hospital, the ball park is closer to the hospital than our house is.
The Rough Riders Stadium is nice. For 15.00 dollars, we saw a game, ate all you could eat hot dogs, burgers, chicken sandwiches, and BBQ pork, chips, and drink, AND got a Rough Riders hat. Pretty sweet deal. the home team won, the weather was perfect, and everyone had a good time!
Thursday – Plowed through small group curriculum for the year for each age group. Made training books for Small Group Leader/Coaches and our B2S Retreat curriculum and held band practice with potential Student Worship Coordinator.
Friday – NOTHING – Blogging and then hanging out with the family! Well my wife just asked if we could go shopping for the Cafe’, so . . . I guess its not nothing!
Here are some pic of our Fusion Family Night at the Rough Riders Game!

Saturdaze!!
This weekend Stephanie’s sister Rachel has been in town. So Saturday, we ventured out to the new Buffalo Wild Wings in McKinney. I am the only one that had been before, so the rest of the family was skeptical. The boys had fun, they got balloons and crowns, what kid doesn’t like those things. I loved the wings. However, the girls were less impressed and our service was good but slow. So what should have taken about 45 minutes to eat took an hour and a half.
After we were full, we spent the rest of the day, or so it seemed at Target. My wife could live here seriously. I like to shop, but for some reason Target drives me crazy. Maybe it’s because I am so used to WalMart?
Saturday Night we broke the law. We went to our pool after hours. We are rebels. Joe wanted to swim and it happened to be 8:45pm. Our pool closes at 9:00pm. So needless to say, we were the only ones there. Tons of fun and we were able to take some awesome pictures!!! Enjoy.

BroomBall @ The Ice – Stonbrier Mall
Last Night, Fusion went to play broom-ball at The Ice at Stonebrier Mall. Until last night I had never played but heard great things about it. We had a great time. We laughed when others fell and got caught up in the heat of competition. For me, the highlight was not only playing with the students, but the fact that my 4 year old played right next to me the whole game. He did awesome!!! Here are some pics from last night!

Why Did I Get Married?
Last Night Stephanie and I watched a movie that we have had for almost a month, the advantage of blockbusters movie pass, called Why did I get Married? At first, I was less than enthusiastic to watch it. But I have to admit, it was really good. Steph and I have a good marriage, but we saw ourselves in one particular couples situation. I know for me, my ribs hurt from her elbowing me every time a point was made. But this movie took real life situations and drew you into them. Each couple had their own challenge. It made me think about how much I do appreciate my wife and how I can show that in more tangible ways.
Men, I know it sounds like a chick flick, but its not. In fact, you can watch it and still keep your man card!!!!!

I lost to a 4 year old!!!!
This morning Josiah and I played “A Day with Thomas” board game. He was winning when we quit. After we picked up all the pieces I was giving him a hug and told him he did a good job because he won. he paused for a minute and then said, “Dad, that makes you a looser!”
