Shockingly Overlooked

For those of you who don't know, my brother Forrest plays football at Mizzou. He's worked his way up over the years and this year he's got a pretty key job - place holder. What's that you ask? Well, you know the guy that holds the ball for the kicker when he kicks PATs or field goals? The one you never notice, yet if he wasn't there, extra points would never been the same again? Yep, that's him! Should something go wrong (heaven forbid!) it's the holder that will have to react instantly and clean up the mess. And since that's the case, Mizzou has picked the right guy, because Forrest is quick in mind and step.

Anyway, if you catch them on TV, he's #88, but if all else fails, just watch for him after every touchdown. Do I sound like a proud sister? Good!

Check out those muscles!

Puffins

Tonight I made puffins, courtesy of Bakerella. YUM! Sadly, I do not have any mini-muffin pans (Gasp!) so mine were not as cute as hers but hey, they tasted good. Easy, tasty, and no slaving over the stove flipping pancakes while everyone else eats! A must try!
