First game was tonight and it was a learning experience to say the least. Next game in two weeks. We're hoping we can learn from our mistakes in tonights game. Evan played great with a lot of heart! We are very proud!!!
Evan officially started football practice as a member of the Preston Middle School Pumas!! We are so excited!! This is going to be a fun season.
My little boy is growing up. I picked him up from practice last night and this sweaty young man beside me smelled rank. Note to self... no more than one middle-school boy in the car after practice at one time... and keep the windows down!! P U !!!
"... dear life. please slow down. thanks." Miss Blake
Amen, I say. Time is flying by. The kids have their schedules for the new school year. School supplies have been purchased and are stored in their lockers at school. First day of Blake's senior year and Evan's seventh grade year is next week. I say "slow down!" too! I'm not ready for my babies to grow up. xo
This has definitely been a character building project for Evan. I am so proud of him and his efforts. We lost one wheelbarrow and the yard will hopefully recover. The pile is dwindling. Now, Clay, get busy and build me a deck!! xo
Years ago, every Christmas, I would write a holiday letter to send with our Christmas card to all of our friends and family. I absolutely loved doing this. It was an opportunity for me to brag about my fabulous family. The process of writing this letter truly touched my heart ~ it was my annual gratitude journal. When I viewed a friend of mine's blog, I thought, what a great way to share with my friends and family everthing that we are doing throughout the year! And thus a daily gratitude journal. It's good for the heart! So here we go . . . Welcome to our family!
Clay and I have been married for 20 years. We have two fantastic children who fill our hearts with so much pride and joy and lots and lots of love. Our Princess, 19, has headed off to Oklahoma State University where she has earned a spot on their competative cheerleading team. She has worked hard for this opportunity. She will major in sports management. We love the beautiful young lady she has become ~ inside and out! Our Lil Buddy, 15, is our gentle giant. His heart is even larger than his stature. He is a dedicated student, a great friend, and a tough guy on the football field. He loves his family whole heartedly and is the self appointed "Keeper of the Peace". He makes us very proud!
