I am back

The kids are back in school so I decided I would try to get some things on my blog again.  I have changed it some, but can not seem to get it the way I want.  I will keep trying new things so for a little while it may look different every time you look at it.

Football has started and Southside is 1-1.  We go to West Memphis for a game this coming Friday night.  Not looking forward to the trip.  I will start putting up pictures soon.

We had a very busy summer.  Austin played baseball and practiced football.  We bought a boat so we spent some time at the lake with friends.
We also enjoyed making some new friends and spending time getting to know them.

We got Alex ready to go to college.  I worried a lot more about what was going in his room than he did.  He did not feel that it was necessary to get to worked up over all that room stuff.

I will try to be better at blogging during the school year.

Blog design

I need a new blog design any suggestions on who can help or where is a good place to look.

Baseball is our life

           Austin and some of his team mates  Leonard, Dave, Austin, and Daniel, waiting on a pitcher                        change.  I love seeing them smile during the game and know they are having fun.

                  Austin plays second base on the Varsity team.  This is at a game in Tulsa this past weekend.

               We played in a tournament at Jenks and Broken Arrow and won3 out of 4 games.

                   Alex has had a pulled hamstring and has not been able to play in the last couple of we                          He did bat a couple of times, but really could not run well. 

 I think he is about ready for again soon.

                          Alex was invited to attend a football banquet and awards ceremony this weekend in Little Rock.                             

                           The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Inc. puts it together.  I am so proud of

                            him.  This is to honor scholar athletes at the high school level.  I know it is getting closer to the end of his high school years and I am getting a little more nervous everyday.

Birthday dinner with my niece

Happy Birthday Amy

Keith, Allison, Amy,and Lucas at Amy's birthday dinner

We had such a good time last night with part of our family at Amy's birthday 

dinner.  I can not believe she has grown up so fast.  She is a beautiful lady

and so much fun to be with.  We hope she enjoys all her birthday festivities.  

Love you Amy 

Jackson and his snowman

Jackson came over and we made a snowman.  We could not get the snow 

to stick together so we made a smaller one.

Bennett and I went hiking with friends and had a great time.  

New Year

Well 2010 is hear and I can not believe it.  January is full of birthday's and anniversary's.  Happy Birthday to my Aunt Tennie.  She is such a sweet Aunt and I love her very much.  My brother and sister in law, Dean and Monica, both have birthday's this week and they are celebrating an anniversary.  They are doing all this celebrating on a cruise.  Today would have been my sister in law Susie's birthday.  I sure do miss her.  She and I shared many special times.

Happy Birthday  to all.

Alex and Austin are playing boys club basketball and having a great time.  They have started baseball practice each day after school.  Baseball starts for them on March 1st.  I LOVE BASEBALL.  The only thing with high school baseball is that it is usually very cold in the beginning.

The Cardinals will be starting spring training the first of March also.  I would love to make a trip back to Jupiter to watch.

Not long before all the stuff for graduation kicks in.  Friday May 28th is Southside graduation.
