"Jumpin"

Things have been over the top busy for the Brock household. Normally I check my email twice a day, but since my last post, I think I have only checked it 3 times, hence the 168 emails in my inbox. Well friday started swim team for all my boys. It is Mon, Wed, and Fri 9-11am, the coaches didn't waste any time getting the kids ready to swim, they just told them to jump in (9ft of water) and see what they could do. I honestly feel so sorry for them, the water is freezing and the coaches "work them to death" according to Austin. Luke and Austin have done really well and have taken to it right away. Evan on the other hand is a bit nervous and hasn't gotten the hang of it yet. This is so like him though, he doesn't enjoy things that he doesn't have control over, thus his aversion to theme park rides and swimming in water that you can't touch the bottom. I am very proud of all of them though, because we are forcing them to take this 8 week course, and so far they are getting used to it, and saying that each day was better than the last. I will post pics soon because they look so cute in their goggles.

Tonya and her brood were in town for the weekend, so we went out to nannies for lunch on Sat, and the boys swam in her freezing pool for about 20-30 mins, then we headed to Bluegrass. Bluegrass encompasses bluegrass music by some local good ole boys, that what they lack in talent they make up for with enthusiasm. Bluegrass also entails, hot dogs with the works, plus anything else that people have laying around their fridges, plus all the soft drinks and marshmallows a body would ever need. All they ask in return is for some applause and a donation for the food. Bluegrass is held in a sleepy, quaint little town 20 mins north of here. Nate and I love it up there we would love to become full time residents. The mayor is a friend from our days at Toccoa Falls College, so we are always meeting nice folks up there. Sunday was church and then back to Nannies for lunch and some gun shootin before the Kissacks had to leave. No family get together is complete without golf in the front yard, driving the balls into the pasture, and some target shootin with one or more of the guns that Nate keeps in his arsenal. The van or truck is always loaded with golf clubs, and the gun paraphernalia, and now there will be even more to haul, with the addition of a set of golf clubs for me, that we picked up at Dicks friday night while we were there getting goggles for the boys.

The other thing that has happened is that Nate and I are doing a colon cleanse. I was over at my neighbors house a few weeks ago, when I saw them drinking this green sludge. It smelled awful and I told them I would never be able to stomach it twice a day, but when they told me what kind of stuff they were finding in the toilet, I went home and told Nate. He said that if they weren't joking about the friends they found, then to hurry and get some for us. All it is, is some kind of herbal fiber powder. You take a heaping tablespoon in the morning mixed with juice, and then again in the evening before dinner. You eat raw foods for the first 2 days, then on the third morning you give yourself a coffee enima (yes coffee enima) after that you can eat regularly, then on the 6th day another coffe enima. You should only have to do this for 7-10 days to see results. If nothing strange occurs then your colon and instestines are clean. I gagged and had to work to keep the bitter sludge down this morning, but tonight it was just a little gagging. Nate didn't mind it that much at all, however he is used to gross drinks, because he drinks all those kinds of protein shakes for weight trainning, and he also likes slimfast, which makes me puke. I will keep you posted on my progress. Not graphically posted, unless I find any large friends like my neighbor did.
