Food Service Workers -
I bought the boys some wagons several months ago that came with a net bag full of random things. I thought they would like the things inside the bag the best but to my surprise, their favorite part of the gift is the bag (I am sure all you mothers out there are not surprised). They love wearing them on their heads. They bring them up to us and beg (without words:)) for us to put them on them. Then, they stand in front of us with these huge cheesy grins as if they are waiting for us to order something. I personally think they look like food service workers :)! What do you think?
Soccer-
My neice, Lauren, has started her second season of soccer. She has gotten very good and is very much a star in her little cousins eyes. Jack and James love spending time with their Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin and they for sure love going to see Lauren play. So much so that Jack ran on the field during play about 4 times!
Yep! She holds her own with all the boys. I think it is partially because they all have a crush on her!
Jack has just spotted Lauren. He held this pose for a good minute or two.
Here are some other pictures from the outing:
Fraud-
A lot of you already know by now but I thought I would warn you all about a scam that is going on. About a week ago, I realized that my DEBIT card number had been stolen. We are still not sure how it happened since Jesse and I are still in possession of both of our Debit cards. Whoever got the number got away with about $1000 from our checking account. The papers and the news stations have all been running stories about this type of thing happening. I wish I had a suggestion of how to help protect yourself but I haven't heard of one yet (besides only using cash and getting rid of all your cards). All I can say is check your accounts often. You might see strange charges from Austin, Roundrock, or Florida. We are still up in the air about what will happen but my sister assures me that we will get our money back.
On a side note, I have widgets on my school MAC that gives me a daily Bible verse. In the midst of dealing with all this banking stuff and some other random school things, my widget came up with this verse:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)
This verse is definitely applicable to fraud :), but I think it is also helpfull in situations like this:
I know these boys are going to be co-valedictorians. They are so smart and can come up with a way to do anything they want to do. They definitely help keep the counters clean and clear!

By any chance to you bank with Bank of America??? My friend in C.S. had the exact same fraud issue last week - both her card number and her husbands were stolen and used in FLORIDA and WA state! Luckily, the bank called them to authorize the charges first because they were so random. I don't know how much money they lost, but it wasn't as much as you. If you do bank with BOA, your incident is NOT isolated and you should call them to see if they are doing some sort of internal investigation because someone there is likely the culprit. Just wanted to share.
So sorry about the fraud situation - I'll be watching my card balanced more closely. I have the cutest grandsons ever!!!! No doubt about it! And Lauren is a natural soccer star!!
The boys are so precious. It seems like yesterday that we had the nursery in our room since they couldn't even walk yet! And I am glad they have big ambitions like food service workers and counter cleaners! It would be great if they could work at Sonic. They would be my heros:):)
