InstaFriday!

It's Friday! And it couldn't come at a better time.

I feel like I'm going in about 30 different directions at once.

Christen's game went really well.  So well in fact that the ball only got near her about 3 times.  And only one of those times did it get past her defense and she had to stop it.  So, one kick on goal and she saved it.  (She's the Goal Keeper)

This weekend is jam packed with barely any breaks.

And that being said.  I need to remind myself so I'm going to put it out there.  Don't judge someone because you NEVER know what all they are having to deal with.  I really need to let go of what others think of me.  Or really, what I THINK they think of me.  Does that make sense?  Yes? No? Anyways...

Some times I just have to remind myself and everyone else that life isn't perfect.  But because I serve a perfect Lord, there is hope and I have joy in my heart.  I may not feel that joy all the time, but it's there.

Okay, on to the instas.

I'm linking up with Jeanette from Life Rearranged and sharing the snap shots of my week via camera phone.  You can link up too!  Just make sure your pics are from your camera phone.



Web conference at work.  Christen's note there get me through many a tough day at work.  (along with prayer too)  This conference was actually informative.  Until the end, when people were asking questions that, if they were listening in the first place, they would know the answer to.  One person stumped the trainer though.  And I've yet to find out the answer.  I'm on pins and needles people.



If Brandi had her way, there would be no books and only snuggle time.  Here, I was studying my lesson for Mission Friends.  She was not impressed.



She got Beckam in on the pity party too.



I caught this on my way to work Thursday morning.  I didn't even notice the huge bird until I uploaded the pic here.



It's soccer time people!!!  Our girls scrimmaged Sherwood Academy (yes, as in the same Sherwood that produces those awesome movies like "Courageous" and "Fire Proof".  They need to put some of that movie budget $$ into getting more training for their soccer program.

Well, in all seriousness, some of their girls were younger than our girls.  So I'm sure they are good.  Our Varsity girls played first and we won 4-0 I think.  Then Sherwood's coach wanted to try another formation and we played them again for 10min and we beat them again 3-0.



Somebody's got a new nickname!!  The seniors made signs for each other.  This one is too cute.  See, there's Christen in the goal holding the ball.  :)

There were a lot of people in Christen's cheering section!  She has such an awesome support system and so many awesome people in her corner.  We have great friends and family!

Praying everyone has a great weekend!!


I'm also linking with these parties, come check them out too!

InstaFriday!!

It's Friday!!

I'm really looking forward to this weekend.  Watching my niece play basketball tonight, hopefully hitting a flea market tomorrow, dinner with friends tomorrow night and of course time for church on Sunday.

Oh yeah, congrats again to my giveaway winner Nay!  She should be getting her prize pack today!!  Yay!   You all should go check her blog out.  I love it, and I know you will too!



I’m linking up with Jeanette from Life Rearranged again to share my moments of the week via iPhone pics.  I’d love if you linked up too!  They can be from any kind of cell phone, just as long as they are cell phone pics.



The Publix is coming right along!  I can't wait for it to be complete so I can do some REAL grocery shopping.  Oh Publix...  I love you so...



This was my view on the way home for lunch last Friday.  REALLY made me want to play hookie from work.  It was REALLY hard going back to work...  REALLY hard!



Brandi has a great knack for showing disdain and general contempt for those around her.  Gotta love her...



I know you all are probably tired of me hinting around about this detox I'll be starting soon.  Well, come to find out, I'll need juices, soups, tea and water on hand at all times.  So I got two of these pack-it lunch box things.  It's suppose to keep stuff cold for 10hrs.  I hope it works!!



Oh yeah, Brandi is also the master of the pouty lip.



This is a printable I made, it's a saying I've been seeing around the "internets" lately.  But I've been knowing this saying for as long as I can remember.  My Grandma would tell me this all the time.  I say it to Christen.  I love it.



I realized I hadn't uploaded any instapics of Beckham all week.  I felt pretty bad.  You know how it is when you have more than one kid.  You can't do more for one than you do for the other. ;)  So, here ya go.  He's looking up at Christen here.  Just waiting on her to show him some love.

Make sure you come back Monday for my first installment of Music Monday!!


I'm also linking up with these great parties too!  Check them out!

I'm linking up with Jeanette from Life Rearranged again to share my moments of the week via iPhone pics.  I'd love if you linked up too!  They can be from any kind of cell phone, just as long as they are cell phone pics.

And here's a look into my week!



Brandi girl can give the funniest looks.  I can't remember what kind of commotion was going on down the hall, but it sure surprised her.

This one of the tshirts I made to wear at Christen's soccer games this season.  I made one for me, Jon and my Mom.  I'm going to make one for my grandmother too, and my MIL, but I need more tshirts.  Of course, I used my silhouette cameo to make the heat transfer!  LOVE IT!!

We got the email Thursday that her official "signing" papers have been mailed out for her to sign for college.  Ugh.  I'm so happy for her, but I can't lie, I teared up and I'm tearing up now thinking of it.



My Beckham boy is SO proper!!  Crossing his paws while he drools on my shoes.  Classic.



They are NOT allowed in the kitchen...

when Jon is around.



On our way to church, my niece Jessica pointed out the sunset and stated: "Aunt Jodi, I know you want to take a picture! You take a picture of EVERYTHING!"

the kid has a great eye!  When we turned up the road, it looked as if we were headed straight into a fire.



"Hello, my name is Brandi and I'm very needy.  Put down your book and love me.  You can't resist the cuteness."

I'm ALMOST DONE with my 21lbs in 21 days book!!  I got my juicer the other day and my friend who introduced me to the detox is getting up a list of sources where I can purchase my supplements.  I'm excited and scare to do this, but I'm praying this will help me feel better! :)



The detox tells you to drink lots of green tea.  I.hate.tea.  (I know, I hate tea, seafood, and getting dirty.  my southern card will be revoked I'm afraid)

But I figured I better get started and try some different flavors.

I was hoping putting my tea in a Christmasy mug would help me.  I can't believe it, but I actually liked the tea.  As in, when I was done, I wanted more.  SCORE!  I like green tea.  Yay me!

This one really doesn't need much comment other than: mmmmmm....baaaconnnn

Jon got his day blades for his light saber.  The doggies approve.  Do you see the blur that is Beckham??

Brandi is the queen of sneaking onto your lap and then using your lap as her pillow.

How cute are these two!?!?  I'm gonna miss that face there on the right this coming up fall.

Alrighty!  I really hope you go and enter my giveaway if you haven't already.

And check out the linky parties too!  Have a great weekend!!

All my photos were taken on my iPhone and all but one was filtered through Instagram (I'm underthegeorgiasun, come find me!).

Enjoy!



Beckham is such a cuddle-bug.  He really is happiest when he literally right on top of you.



Jon finally got his cards!  He's famous now ya know.  B/c you have to be famous to be on a bubble gum card.  ;)

As most of you know, Jon LOVES Star Wars.  He's part of a group called "The Dark Empire".  Their mission statement is below.

And even though it's not my cup of tea, it makes Jon happy, so that's cool.

Jon even makes pretty much all of his costume.  He commissioned the leather work, but it was still done locally and by hand.  And you see his light saber?  He made that.  Not the light part, but the handle part.  And he's making another one too.



If you click above on the picture, it will take you to their website.



Christen is in love with crab rolls.  So much so, she'll go and purchase them.  I can't stand sea food and Jon really doesn't need to eat all that rice, so she's pretty much been on her own when she wants some.  Until now.  Jessica ate sushi for the first time eva!  And....



She liked it...  she really liked it.

So now Christen has someone to go on sushi runs with.



GA basketball started this past Friday night.  So now we finally got Jessica's basketball hoop up for her to practice when she comes over.  It only took us 3yrs!



ONE of Jon's crock pots full of chili!  He was given some bison and elk meat and decided to make chili.  He added some italian sausage too.  I hear it was good.  I don't eat chili, so I have to take their word for it.



I just love how his ears look here.  He also looks tiny and not like his monsta' self.



This was my view when I pulled onto my street after work one day this week.  It was like I was being welcomed home.  Love it



She makes the funniest faces.



I do believe you can still download this song for free on KLove.  I LOVE this song!!  I wrote about it yesterday.



I made home made spaghetti this week.  I have to have LOTS of garlic.  And believe it or not, this really wasn't enough.  My phone still smells like garlic.  and I love it!



Yes, I mix raw spinach in with my spaghetti...  it's really good, you should try it.



I love it when my cousin Cam comes over.  And so does Beckham.  Cam let Beckham chew on his blanket, I tried to stop it each time but finally gave up and just took a picture.



Oh my gosh dude!  Knuckle deep!  Haha.  How could you not love that face!!!



I love this picture.  Brandi and Christen just turned to look at Beckham at the same and he gave this look like: "What did I do??"



Church Youth basketball started Thursday night.  They always make me nervous.  The games can get pretty intense believe it or not.  But this game was really good. Not many fouls were called and Christen got 6 out of the 19pts they scored.  Oh, and our girls won!  Good day for sure.



Christen on the right her BFF Becca on the left during half time.  Love these girls.
