Football Playoffs

The boys both made it into the "playoffs" in flag football. Connor was playing for 3rd or 4th and won so their team came in 3rd......Go Raptors!! Connor was part time Quarterback but also played other various positions. He played hard and had fun. Also played well. Good Job Connor! I love watching you do something that you love!

Alex was playing for 1st place! and...........won!! Go Hurricanes! They were playing a team that they had lost to twice before so it was exciting for all of us to watch. Alex had a coach who was a little rough around the edges but kept the boys on their toes. Alex played quarterback most of the time because the coach said he had a great arm and was very accurate (coaches words not mine..)

Welcome Lila Renae...

Mark and I have a brand new little neice. Tamara went in early this morning for a c-section. She had a baby girl. Lila Renae came into the world on her Daddy's 30th birthday!! Happy Birthday Mike and Lila! I spoke to Tamara this evening and she sounded good. Lila weighed 6lbs 2 ozs. We can't wait to meet little Lila. We are planning a trip to Houston in October when the kids go off track. Congratulations Tamara and Mike!

Congratulations Tamara and Mike!!!!

We found out a few days ago that Mark's sister (and mine) and her husband Mike are having a baby girl in September. We are so happy for them and can't wait to have a new baby in the family... We know they will be the best Mom and Dad a Little girl could ask for. Hang on Mike and Tam you are in for the ride of your life. With all of it's ups and downs, having kids has been the best thing Mark and I have ever done. We are so excited for both of you!


“What Is A Little Girl!”

She's a bundle of sweetness,
brightness & fun

The beauty of springtime,
the warmth of the sun

She's Innocence covered with mud,
sand, & soot

She's Motherhood dragging
a doll by the foot...


She's a composite picture of
giggles & tears

Of tantrums, excitement,
amusement & fears

A bundle of mischief
and often a tease

A creature of moods
not easy to please...


Who'll capture your heart
with her pixie-like grin

Or chatter and beg till your
patience wears thin

But obedient, naughty,
mischievous or coy

She's Mom's little Darling &
Dad's Pride & Joy.

TGIF!

Well it's Friday. This week seemed to fly by. Last night the boys had a Basketball awards ceremony. They received a full size basketball. They play at a church in Parker. The program is called Upwards. This was Connor's 5th season and Alex's 3rd. They had a man there that travels all over the world doing a basketball show. He was pretty entertaining.

Connor has had difficulty sleeping at night since the time change. He was so tired this morning when I tried to wake him up he said " Call the school, tell them I died and let me rest in peace. I thought it was pretty funny. Alex has his first flag football practice tonight. There is a chance of snow so it might not happen afterall. It really doesn't look like snow though. We are looking forward to the weekend. Hopefully we can all catch up on our sleep. Connor needs to do some reading on his Steven Spielberg book. His book report is due 3/25 and he is on chapter 2. There are only 6 chapters but they are kind of long. Wish us luck!
