Case and Point.

Warning: Rocky wrote this, read at your own risk.

Gather 'round everybody and let me tell you a little story about a boy named Jericho Scott. Jericho is your typical 9 year old boy, loves to play with his friends, and play sports, especially baseball. Now when you're 9, you're coordination and motor skills are not necessarily at their peak, making sports sometimes awkward, but fun nonetheless. Jericho however is special. He has a great arm and a great pitching ability. He can throw a perfect strike at 40 mph! For a 9 year old, that is incredible. Now you can imagine that this kind of pitching ability can make hitting tough for the teams that face this young Nolan Ryan. Tough, not impossible! However, the league feels differently. Due to his extreme talent, the league administration has told Jericho and his coach that HE IS NO LONGER ALLOWED TO PITCH BECAUSE HE IS TOO GOOD!! Yeah, you read correctly, he is so good at pitching that they won't let him pitch. This is a PERFECT example of the WUSSIFICATION of AMERICA. We don't want the other kids to feel bad, so we punish the good kid. This is outright embarassing and disgraceful. This is exactly the mentality that has this country going down the road we're headed, and nobody is trying to stop it. Why not let him pitch and bring the other kids UP to his level, rather than punish him for being damn good. Can you imagine the confidence boost a kid would get once they did get a hit off of Jericho? America used to dominate all aspects of athletics, but once again, the "coddle the fat kid" mentality has crept its way back in to plain sight and nobody cares. Absolutely disgusting.

Guilty.......

So I feel guilty, let me tell you why. Yesterday I was cooking dinner (yes I was actually cooking, I only do it once a week) and I was watching my poor husband working out in the yard and I thought “I really do have it good!” The reason why I thought this was because I was in a nice air conditioned house watching TV while my husband was out working in the desert (or our backyard) getting stung by bees and ran down by black widows. I then decided that my husband still treats me like a princess and I am very lucky!
For an update on our family we finally are home from all our vacations and ready to start school. Brylie starts school on Sept. 2nd and she is soooo excited. We went school shopping for her and she was so fun. She picked out a Princess backpack and her favorite outfit is her Hannah Montana shirt and pants. She asks me every day if she gets to go to school tomorrow and gets mad when I tell her not yet. I start school on Monday….again….. but I am almost done so I am excited. Rocky is also starting school, working on the yard as mentioned earlier, and being a new father. He gets really tired but is doing a great job. I think that is all that is going on at the Watt house!

Heights!!!!!

Brylie reminds me of myself more and more every day. She started to get freckles like her mama, she loves it outside especially at Bearlake and she HATES heights. We went to Raspberry days at Bearlake and all of the little girls we were with wanted to do the little ride were you jump on the tramp attached to bungee cords. I knew Brylie wouldn’t like it but she had to do it so I let her. She was doing ok just jumping on the tramp but as soon as the cords went up and she got higher so started freaking out and saying “Let me down, let me down!” She was terrified. So we got her down and she told me she did not like going that high. We went to the fair the next day and she did not even ask to do that ride.

I am sooo sooo sorry!!!

I just want to tell everyone I am so sorry about our blog. I (Brittany) have been out of town and have had no internet access so Rocky took over and i am so sorry. But I will admit, I have been laughing reading what my dear sweet loving husband has been writing. The reason why our blog sucks and has no pics is because I am the one with the camera. Pictures should be available in one week (I am going to Bear lake for that week). Because I will be gone and Rocky will be home I have no control of what he will be writing so agian, I am sorry for anything he says! Enjoy!
