WOW - been a while...

Seems like life just keeps getting busier and busier... how is that possible?

A quick update - everyone is still doing great. Bubba is running track - sprints and hurdles to be exact. They are talking about having him practice the hurdles with the high school track team to give him more experience... that is kinda crazy... but if it starts to go to his head it will no longer happen! I'm not going to have a jerk jock for a son... NOT gonna happen!

Big Guy is growing by leaps and bounds! He started the year the shortest in his class and he is now moving up to the tallest... I guess I should have expected it, but still! Why do they have to grow up SO fast? He is even starting to read now... *sigh* my baby is no longer a baby, huh? Time for another one! :D

I am still in school. I should graduate next May - so pretty much only one more year! YEAH!!! I hope it goes by fast... I'm getting pretty sick of school! :)

I think that is it... I've got to try and start updating on here more...

Basketball Camp

Bubba is SO excited! He is going to the Bill Self Basketball Camp in Lawrence, KS in June... that would be the KU basketball camp! YAY! Danny Manning and several of the other graduated players will be there to help coach the boys... One of Bubba's friends is also going so they will be rooming together. I thin they will have a lot of fun! :)

AMAZING!!!

This video is just amazing! I had to share...

Quick Update

My Dad is finally doing really well again... I think he just likes to keep us on our toes! ??? Or something... he has got to stop scaring me like that! :)

Big Guy is becoming quite the ornery turkey butt (my "nice" nickname for him LOL). Some of the stuff he says! It just cracks me up even though I know I have to keep a straight face so he doesn't know it... funny funny kid.... ;D

Bubba is growing again... I just bought him 3 new pairs of jeans & his gparents bought him 2... I bet they don't last another month... :o I guess I will take them down to GG's (my friends local consignment store). He is now dang near taller than Travis and he is just under 6'1...

I spent the weekend painting my entry and repainting my dinning room... I just love those rooms now! MUCH better! The dining room was a light greyish blue - I hated it for that room since we painted it... funny thing is - we used the same blue in the bathroom and I love it there! strange... The entry I painted a pretty brick red - looks WONDERFUL with all that stained glass in there! I did stay in the blue family for the dining room - but I went with more of a jewel dark blue - makes the old natural woodwork just pop! I'm so happy with it! :)

I think that is it for now!

This is WONDERFUL!
Battle Hymn

Basketball...

We won our first game last Thursday... it was a pretty good game too - except that the coaches put in three 6th graders and never pulled them out so the upper classmen hardly got to play! I am SO PISSED at how the season is going so far... then - last night - the 2nd game of the season and they only play Bubba 2 quarters of the "B" game. So, of course - he thinks he is going to get to play in the "A" game... WRONG!! Not ONE SECOND!!! He came home in TEARS and now he wants to QUIT! I could understand if we were going for something like a state championship or something... I mean - I realize that those 6th graders are good... one of them IS a better player than Bubba - the other two are NOT though!... AND - this is MIDDLE SCHOOL!! This is were they learn to play - and you don't learn to play by sitting on the bench!!! Bubba is planning on talking to the head coach today at practice... and then we shall see... something had better change - or they are going to have a lot of ticked off parents!

UPDATE:
One of the coaches basicly told Bubba that he hasn't been playing because he was not making it to Saturday morning practices... Well - in KS they can not make weekend practices mandatory for middle school and there can not be any punishment... since Bubba has been going deer hunting every Saturday he has not made it to the practices... *sigh* not sure what to do with that one...

Tonight Starts Basketball Season...

Well - football went well... much better than I had thought it would... Bubba has always HATED football, but now... well... looks like we will have another sport to follow until he graduates! :) But, now it is on to basketball - his FAVORITE sport... I'm not sure what to expect... he did really well last year, but I'm not sure he has mastered coordination with this growth spurt he has been on... I guess we shall see later tonight! :)
