It's kick off time so get up, everybody up!!

Jessi shows me her new dance routine when she gets home from pep squad practice. She is just too cute!! They have their cheering gig at a football jamboree at East Coweta on Friday. Go Eagles!!

I volunteer to help Fiske after a sort of prank I was in on with Rhonda... this was my peace offering. I got up super early and helped him do a student count at bus duty. Kim also helped. He called us his angels, Charlie's angels......

Here we are...... Charlie's angels. Here on an assignment to count students coming off the big cheeses. That's right, it was a dangerous and daunting task, but we were fierce and each student was numbered and recorded.... yes, that's right, we saved the school from overcrowded buses...

Amber also saved a life this week. Becca had her own sign to help her find her way to her mommy's "new" classroom. And Rhonda provided a beaming "shiny thing" to help Pooh Bear notice it.....

It worked like a charm and Becca found my room without a hitch!! Maybe she will stop going to my old room to only discover I have moved down the hall...

Welcome, Lauren to the 9th grade building!! She is now helping us with Math I and Math I support and she is doing awesome!! We were so glad to have her on board but I hope we don't warp her too much- ha!

Yeah, Becca! You made it to my room!! How was your day, Pooh Bear? She then proceeds to tell me her day and make plans for Friday night.... Adam and I might actually get to go out by ourselves on a Friday night, woo hoo!

Here is our fearless leader.... two cell phones in one morning... yep, don't mess with the Harrison...

or else...... Be afraid, be very afraid!!

Here is Peggy and her man.... I came over on a Saturday and this cardboard man scared the crap out of me! I bout peed in my pants!!

Here is Amber trying on some of my ornaments off my teacher tree...HA!! Crazy chick - God love her!! Inside joke.....

Here is Becca and Houston... after school buddies.... give Houston some love.....

Becca has gone out with Bryce and now Jessi was invited for a weekend at the lake with friends (and they got some serious rain, bless their hearts) - but they had fun - Elizabeth, Becca, and Jessi... aren't they cute :)

"Hey boys, look ... yeah... shoulder..." This has been the running inside joke all week. Jessi protested about the dress code at Madras this week..."I don't see what the big deal is with sleeveless tops - not tank tops, but sleeveless..." she proceeded to tell me that her and a few girlfriends were at lunch in the cafeteria and would say...."Hey boys....shoulder" and then proceed to pull up their shirt sleeves just far enough to show 'the shoulder' .... I thought it was the funniest thing ever... so I told my girlfriends and we would go around giving each other "the shoulder" - I love my girls ..... great material ... and never have to go long without a good laugh.... they are my prime entertainment.

"Hey Adam, no girls tonight....let's go out to eat and maybe to a movie..."

Becca had her preseason tournament this weekend way up in Marietta. The rain stayed away all day and it we had a pretty good day. We even squeezed in a few hours at the mall in between games. Becca got a pair of jeans at Abercrombie and Fitch - she finally grew into the big girl sizes and can't shop at baby abercrombie... this made her happy but not me... they cost more at the "real store"...at least the pair she bought were on sale :)

Here she is at game number two.. .. it was cool and overcast.. but nice for a soccer game.. we got back in town in time to rack up on more jeans at Old Navy... only $12.00 a pair... we bought 3 pairs each ....woo hoo!! I won't need jeans for a while and the girls both needed a few more pairs.... I have banned Becca from the holey pair she wore on Friday....

Another week of fun around the Westbrook Hut.... my grandmother may come next week, so I can't wait ... I will certainly be putting up some of those pictures!! Have a great week!! Rhonda, thinking of you on Monday :)

Apparently...

Apparently, soccer chics clean up quite nicely... Becca and some of the girls from her soccer team go out for dinner and then to see... Sisterhood of the traveling pants 2

Apparently, Adam does not appreciate me leaving my shoes all over the house during the week and has sent me this 'unspoken message' in the middle of our bedroom floor... he calls them "boobie traps" - ouch....

Apparently, about $100 at a Christmas Warehouse Sale goes a long, long way!! Amber and I took off to see what the Children's Healthcare's Festival Of Trees warehouse had to offer. They are no longer going to have the event and lucky us, one of their storage areas was here in Newnan.

We had a little bit of a time getting it all to fit, but we did it, apparently....

Can't wait to find a place for this one... Apparently, I will need to buy a bigger tree this year...don't you know Adam was just thrilled to see my "finds" - I also bought two pieces of shelving to put some of my Christmas doo dahs on and some smaller Christmas trees, and some smaller angel ornaments... it was fun, apparently...

Apparently, teenagers will work for time together at the movies... and mommy got a washed and vacuumed car out of the deal.... Becca drove herself for the first time on Saturday to the movies to meet Bryce... it was a bittersweet moment for me and Adam....

While Becca was at the movies, Adrian and Rhonda came over for dinner and to watch the Falcons, but apparently, guitar playin' was more entertaining than the football game... doesn't 'Coach A' look very masculine playing Jessi's pink electric?

Apparently, two guitar pickers are better than one so Jessi gets our her twelve string. She plays Adrian a tune she made up called "The song with no name" that she played at last year's strings concert. He then played with her and together they sounded awesome!! They played and played and ended the night with "Margaritaville" - too cute!! Fun Night!!

Apparently, not everyone appreciates Becca's parking skills and there was a dirty note left on her truck last night at the movies.... poor, Pooh Bear... "I promise, mom, I checked. I was in the lines" The note said, " If you can't Drive How someone Else do it for U!! Learn How To Park Dumb A$$" Becca said, "at least I can spell the word, Have" ....Bless Her Heart! No tellin' what her parkin' job looked like, but I hate she got a hate note on her first time out - that's the brakes, apparently....

Look out, Becca is driving!!!!!

Yes, that's right, Becca passed her driver's test today and will soon be zipping all through town....
Becca, say cheese and hold up your license. She was not happy with her picture, but I think it is really cute. I think she was waiting for the lady to tell her to smile or something, but we are talking driver's picture here and they had her pic. snapped before she was ready, of course.. :)

Dad gives her something to take to Papa......"Becca, you need to go out at least to Grandma's by yourself..here take this to Papa. He needs it really bad and tonight....",says dad. She asks Jessi to go with her. But dad insists that Jessi needs to stay home and do homework and she will have to go out by herself....

Here, drive the Tuareg....

I can't believe my baby is driving.... I don't feel old enough to have a child driving... jeez....

Jessi says that it seems like yesterday that Becca was singing her chilly willy songs and now she is driving.... "I can't believe she is driving, mom"

"Yes, I know, me either...."

"Wave, momma....!!" says dad....

I snap one more shot.... there she goes....

The whole family comes out to watch....

"she really wanted me to go, didn't she mom..."

"yep, but she needed to go solo..." "she will be fine..."

I love you, pooh bear!!!! You make me proud!!

Warning: Do not adjust your picture. These photos are all unfortunately blurry. They will be better the next time I blog...I am on the lookout for a new camera.

A curse has evidently been put on our family... Adam's cell phone died, then lightning struck right by the house and took out our house phones our tivo and the internet, then my cell phone died, then this camera started making blurry pics, and then today Becca's phone died.. so this is the best I could do.... all this happened within 3 weeks...

Our family was finally all home on the same evening this past weekend and so Jessi and I gave Adam and Rebecca their LA souvenirs....

The nominees for 'best sister' are: Brittney Spears, Tia Campbell, Marsha Brady, and Rebecca Westbrook..... And the Oscar goes to .....Rebecca Westbrook!!!!

Speech!!!! "I would like thank the little people"

And the nominees for "best husband" are: George Bush, Adam Westbrook, Kid Rock, and Homer Simpson. And the Oscar goes to Adam Westbrook!! Speech!!!! "I would like to thank my wife and my girls and my dogs."

Community Christian started their groups again this school year. I was very excited to get into a group that meets right down the road from me... yeah!! It is one mile from my house, if that... super!!

Here is the younger couple of the group who are engaged....aw how sweet....Bryan and Kerri...






Here is LaWanda who is married to Steve(the one holding the remote control in the next picture) the other gentleman in this picture, I can't remember his name to save my life... but I will tell you that he is going to bring so much to our group....he is super smart and knows so much about the Bible!! I can't wait to get to know him better.

I have never seen a remote like this one.... very impressive and hard to lose..this might be something that I need to look into...

I really hate that these pictures all came out blurry!!! This one was actually the best one out of the many I tried to take.... we have a picture of our girls every year holding up what grade they are going into... another school year begins... Jessi in 8th and Becca in 11th...








This was taken outside of Taco Mac. We had met the Anderson crew for dinner and to watch some of the opening ceremonies of the Olympics... Adrian is blocking this sign from Rebecca to help her out (and to make good fun of Pooh Bear) because she had an incident at school on Friday where she ran right square into a pole on her way to the cafeteria. She has a huge bruise on the side of her face to prove it....as we say here in the south...."BLESS HER HEART!" Good thing Adrian was there to keep her from hurting herself on the way to the car!!

On Saturday, I return from taking Jessi to guitar lessons and I see the other half of my family getting Becca's future car all cleaned up... CRACK ME UP!! Becca can't just come out and wash the car...No.... she has to put on her leopard rubber boots and sport her redneck cap... all jobs for her require a certain costume... she also does her homework at home in her room with "thinking caps" on (which are usually some really crazy hat) and "glasses" which are really just accessory glasses with just clear plastic lenses- the child doesn't need glasses, but she wears the fake Kate Spade pretend ones while studying by herself. I asked her why and she said, "It just makes me all smart." That is my pooh bear. She always makes me scratch my head and then smile...

Please pray for our family. Becca goes for her driver's test on Thursday. Hopefully a clean car will parallel park better - that was their theory, I guess.....
