Every Tuesday night we find ourselves at the Cottonwood Complex watching Parker play in a men's fast pitch softball league. Its great!!!


And when I say men. . .I mean MEN!!! The average age of the league being around 30, but there is Parker out there, easily the youngest at the age of 14!!!

Under Attack

It all started with these guys:



Our neighbors have bird feeders in their backyard and we have ample trees in ours. Naturally the birds eat the food there then come over to our backyard and relieve themselves. My parents were not big fans of this whole bird equation, so in order to put an end to the bird poop frenzy that was taking place on our deck they took action and bought some hawks and an owl.



A few weeks later and we find ourselves here. . .with the eagle


Just imagine yourself driving and seeing some birds flying off to your right wondering what they are, when all of the sudden one of them comes right at you, your mom in the passenger seat ducks and squeals, you, driving, press on you breaks as this giant Bird is flying straight for your windshield!!! Well that's exactly what happened to us as we were driving to Montpelier, Idaho. I had visions of this eagle breaking the windshield of my car and its beak hitting me right in the chest, life ender!!! Luckily for us it pulled up at the last minute and came within a few feet of that blessed windshield.




That brings me to this:

Go ahead and wonder, take a closer look if needed, and you will see the largest bird poo to ever have been!!!! This beauty happened yesterday on my way home, going under an over pass to get on the freeway!!! It was literally a palm size splat on the same blessed windshield that the eagle almost hit!!!

Its because of events like these that I believe my family and I are under attack. . .or it just proves that birds are crazy and poop a lot!!!!
You choose!!
