In the Paper

Our favorite "pep-bander" has made it into the Prescott Journal three times lately...we are so proud...these are all clips from the newspaper so please pardon the poor quality...


Here he is for student of the week...

Here he is with three other members of the band who helped to compose their own song that was played during the large group contest at UWRF...way to go guys!

Last but not least, here is the amazing Prescott High School Band at the large group contest at The University of Wisconsin River Falls...btw, this is where Jacob has chosen and been accepted to college this fall. Can you find Jacob? Yea, me neither...

How to Spend a Saturday Night

This is how to spend a Saturday night:


  • a best friend to sleep over

  • pizza for dinner

  • lots of X-Box live

  • cozy place to rest (hmmm) does anyone see the available sofa behind Sam, or is it just me? Gotta love imagination and creativeness!



Brother From Another Mother



This is Trevor Clinton Mercord...Jacob's brother from another mother. Trevor is the sixth member of our family, our fourth son. How do we know that Trevor belongs at our home? Let me share the ways he is sooo much like the other three...
  1. he leaves his bed unmade

  2. he drinks my Dr.Pepper w/o asking

  3. he leaves the empty Dr.Pepper can on the coffee table

  4. he's sassy

  5. I find his dirty socks lying around

Trevor and Jacob have been friends for about 12 years now and we hope for many years to come...we love you Trevor Clinton!

Pep Fest


If two words in the whole world could describe my son Jacob it would be "Pep Band". He lives and breathes pep band. Last year he was voted "Greatest Pep Bander Ever"! Last Friday night was his last pep band performance of his senior year and at Prescott High School...bittersweet for all of us.

We love to watch Jacob play during pep band and garage band performances. He is always so full of enthusiasm and excitement...he is normally not this way. If only I knew how to upload an actual video of him playing...hmmm...maybe next time.

The Stomach Flu

Last night Andrew woke up with the stomach flu. The one illness that we dread to see surface at any time of the year. His little body spent the night hugging the toilet bowl. At least he can make it to the toilet bowl...(the one in our family who cannot make it to the toilet bowl will remain nameless but just turned 18!!)
Today he has lounged around the house watching movies, taking bubble baths and playing XBox...what a life...but would have to pause said time passers to run to the bathroom. He's such a trooper and never complained; not once!
