Basketball Fun!

Jakob had his first basketball games on Saturday! I love to watch my children play sports. Jakob enjoys playing any sport and is a natural athlete! The first game they lost 19-20, which was hard. The next game was not as good, I think the boys lost confidence after the first game. Jakob made a three pointer which was exciting! He had the greatest fans in the stand! Pa Diddy, Grandma Kak, Kelley, Keeler and Kallahan! I look forward to the rest of the season.

Discovery Center

Kelley, Keeler and Kallahan came down last night for Samuel's 5th! We are excited they were able to make it for his party. Jakob and Jacey got out of school today at noon so we headed to Amarillo to spend the afternoon with them. Grandma and I took the kids to the discovery center to play while Kallahan took his nap. All the kids loved it and didn't want to leave. We stayed until they closed. Kallahan joined the fun after his nap. It is always fun when our favorite cousins come to visit!

Happy Birthday Samuel!

I cannot believe my baby is 5 years old today. It seems like just yesterday we were at the hospital finding out we had another little boy. He has added so much joy and excitement to our lives. He is so full of energy and always happy.
We had his party on Saturday. He had a dinosaur party, complete with a dinosaur pinata, pin the tail on the dinosaur and pop the balloon! It was a wonderful party and he got way too many gifts!

Hoop 10

Jakob and Jacey finally decided they would go to the Hoop 10 basketball camp. They both had a great time and learned some good basketball fundamentals. It was fun to stay and watch them so I am glad we live out in the country and I had to stay. If we still lived in town I would not have stayed and watched them. I know they get their athletic development from their dad!

Back to School

The kids went back to school today. Jakob cried last night and Jacey was very upset this morning. We had a great trip but I think it made their vacation time go by quickly. I hated to make them go back! We have had a wonderful Christmas break, but before we know it it will be Spring Break.!

Cotton Bowl

We went to the Cotton Bowl yesterday. Texas A&M defeated Oklahoma, 41-13! We had great seats in the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. It was amazing to see and be inside the huge stadium. The kids all loved rooting on the Aggies. Johnny Manziel is a wonderful quarterback and it was neat to watch him play. Samuel loved giving high fives to all the people sitting around us after each touchdown. It was an amazing experience and I am glad my kids were able to go to such a fun game!

Dallas trip

We are on one of our longest family vacations. We will be staying at 5 different locations for a total of 6 nights away from home. We just finished up day 5 and I am exhausted. I put Samuel and Jacey to bed and now Jarret and Jakob have gone to Midnight Yell, aggie tradition! We spend the last two days with Matt, Kristen, Drew, Jack, and Anna at the Great Wolf Lodge . We were celebrating Samuel and Jack's birthdays.
