Fishy Face
We met some friends out at Blue Springs Lake Marina to feed the fish last week. There is a HUGE school of carp there that wait around the marina dock for handouts. We bought bags of "fish food" for a quarter and let the girls go at it. They loved it!
The girls kept throwing in the whole baggie of food at one time to watch the fish go crazy.
It was kind of chilly, and here's Asher looking a little unsure about the whole thing.
Yuck...their open mouths kind of gross me out! : ) The girls kept saying..."They're still hungry!" I'm pretty sure they're always "still hungry". ( PS...there is no fishing off the dock for pretty obvious reasons) : )

ME vs. Bambi
So...the deer won.
I was driving home with Aubrey down a back road by a wooded area Saturday night and hit a deer! I've never hit an animal in my life. I saw something in the road ahead ( there are no streetlights on this road btw) and it looked like a large dog. When I got closer I saw it was a deer and I slowed down to let it cross the road and while I was watching it go across a second deer slammed into the front passenger side of the car!
It was really jarring, to say the least, although I'm sure much more so for the deer and after a quick check to make sure Aubrey was ok we went ahead and drove home. The car was drivable but the passenger door wouldn't open and it mangled the front pretty good.
(Pics Steve took for the insurance company)
I was pretty shook up by the whole thing and poor Aubrey couldn't stop asking about what happened to the deer. She said she would go back and get it and help it into the forest. Then she said she could let it come in her room and she would give it a bandaid...sweet. Anyway, we finally got a hold of someone at animal control and just got the car towed in yesterday because of the holiday weekend.
We're currently cruising around in our '09 Dodge Grand Caravan rental for about a week while the body work is getting done. Aubrey's favorite feature are the "magic" sliding side doors that close automatically. Of course we have to say "bibbity-boppity-boo" everytime to make the magic work though. She loves it! : ) and I feel like a total soccer mom...but love all the space! Definitely will need one of those once the next kiddo joins our family. ( Speaking of...my sister just found out she's having another boy! ) We're so excited for them. Anyway, so moral of the story is, eyes peeled on back roads at twilight....you never know!! : )

Give One Million
I just wanted to let everyone know about this amazing project called "Give One Million" that our good friends the Feldman's have created to raise money for St. Jude's Children Hospital. I'll let their video speak for itself....
Help make a difference!!

FHE-isms
(Aubrey at temple square)We had some friends over yesterday afternoon after church for some ice-cream cake and Aubrey was putting on a show as usual. She told them we went bowling on Sunday ( a fib, I promise!) and then she said, "Jesus lives at the temple...the house of the board!" Close enough, right? Guess that FHE lesson from a few weeks back did make an impact.
We've redoubled our efforts in making sure FHE happens every Monday night for us and it has been going well. We're trying to make it a good habit so it won't be so easy to forget or drop off the schedule.
At tonight's family home evening Aubrey said, "Heavenly Father helps me get bigger and stronger and build a house upon a rock!" : ) Gotta love it...
