Football is over...

But Bubba made quite the impression on everyone at the last game of the season last night! The first THREE touchdowns for us were made by HIM! WOW! And then he ended up also making 5 of the 2 point conversions and running over 120 yards total for the game! =) I am a very proud Mommy right now! He has decided that he will play football next year - but he is not sure about in high school... I told him that was fine - it is HIS choice, but his coach can't believe it - Bubba is really good at football... but I will not push him. It drives me crazy when parents do that... :) And he LOVES basketball and that is just fine by me - you can watch it in a nice warm gym! It was SO cold last night! :(

Things to Think about...

My Dad sent me an email today with several things mentioned... but the two that really caught my eye were these -

Why is it that our children can't read a Bible in school, but they can in prison?
Why do I have to swear on the Bible in court when the Ten Commandments cannot be displayed outside?

You know - people want to know why our world is so much more violent than it was 50 years ago? Here is your reason! Until a lot of children end up in jail and DO read the bible they don't realize that there really is someone much MUCH higher than them that they have to answer to... it is very VERY sad that so many families have lost touch with God. And so many children that may never know God because their parents don't... makes me sad...

Good News is - No Cast...

Bad news is - no cast because of all the swelling! UH! So now I have the really pretty black boot on my foot... I go back next Monday to make sure everything is still lined up and starting to heal... man - this SUCKS!

How Nice is This...?

Yes - that is my leg and foot in a really pretty brace... I go tomorrow for a cast and I'm looking at 6-8 weeks of crutches. I fractured my ankle bone by falling down the stairs in my house. I have bruises and pulled muscles everywhere! I can't believe how sore I am besides my ankle! And now - it is time for a nap... pain pills are kicking in! :)

First Football Game

WE WON!!! YAY! And D had TWO touchdowns and one interception!! HECK YEAH! Not too bad for a 7th grader in his first ball game!!! :D The whole team really played really good! The final score was 44 - 26.
Here are some pix... he is number 33 -


And #42 is his best friend B that basically lives at our house... they are kinda funny to see together because D is SO much taller than B!

I HAVE A TEENAGER!!

How scary is that? I have a teen!!! NO WAY!!! I'm not old enough!!! LOL Anyway - at least he isn't acting any worse than he has been in the last 6 months... I keep telling him that puberty is eating his brain! I swear - he can't remember anything for more than about 5 seconds... pretty annoying!
But - I suppose I will live through it... most parents make it, right? =)

I have pictures from his birthday that I will post later...

My Great Grandma...

My Great Grandma was 102 years old as of June 30th. She passed away on Saturday, August 16th, 2008. It is sad, but at the same time I'm happy for her. She was always such an outgoing person. Very independent and always going and doing. When she was around 95 years old, she finally moved into assisted living. About 2 months before her 100th birthday she had a stroke and it completely changed her. She started confusing people and it was no longer "her" if you know what I mean. She would have hated the way she has been living for the last 2 years. I know she is happier now. It is still sad though...
