Keyto's an All Star

Keyton has gotten to be quite the basketball player. He played with a new team here in Red Oak and they only lost one game and went on to win the Championship! Now, this team had a coach who is also new to town. He took the team that the organization gave him and this team went up against teams who have been playing together previously! We are so proud of Keyto and his teammates. His coach did a SUPER job coaching and teaching.

Keyto went on to be nominated for the All Star team and did a great job. Brent and I both believe that was the best game eVer!

Congrats sweet boy...

Oh shoot! I download those pics before I turn them. Sorry, got in a hurry. Gotta go to work

Have a super duper day!

Happy Birthday TuckerBear!

Tucker is 6 years old today! He is so excited to say he is 6!

I can't believe it! It just doesn't seem possible.

He is such a blessing and beautiful little soul.

Here are some pictures from his party on Saturday in our front yard. They had a really great time. We have made some really great friends since being here and I am so grateful for all the neighbors and friends that came by. Brent's parents got to come to either their first birthday party or second, not sure which. They moved before Brandan turned one.

I will be taking off 1/2 day today to take cupcakes to school and then Tuck chose Chickfila for dinner. Which is a good thing since BAM has a pitching lesson and practice tonight and Keyto may have basketball practice.

Enjoy the pics and leave Tuck a comment if you have time. I will read them to him tonight.

Have a beautiful day.

**Well, Tuck is home sick! He came home yesterday and slept for forever and felt warm so I gave him Motrin. Then he woke up around 3:00 am and I gave him more Mortrin. He got up this morning extremely sluggish but kept saying he felt okay and would go to school. He was really looking foward to the day with his friends and me taking off and coming up there to serve cupcakes and pick him up. When I went to brush his teeth he got kind of sick and was gagging and started shaking. He then looked up at me and said "can I stay home with you today"? So I guess that is the next best thing - a day home together. I did take the cupcakes to school and heard them tell him Happy Birthday over the announcments. I picked up his ribbon, pencil and sticker. All his classmates were so sad he wasn't there. Mrs. Prachyl is a doll though. She is going to save the cupcakes for their snack tomorrow so Tuck will be there. Hopefully my Birthday Boy will feel better in a little while.

Rain, rain, and more rain

It is raining today, well since mid-morning and is supposed to turn into sleet later this evening. I don't know that we will get snow, but maybe it will freeze and school will be delayed. I could use an extra two hours at home in the morning! Keyto was supposed to have a band meeting tonight but it has been canceled, Tuck's soccer was canceled, so now waiting to see if Keyto's basketball practice is cancelled.

Brent is cooking the Angel Chicken recipe I got from my mil. So I am looking foward to a nice evening at home with warm food and a fire!

Have a nice evening and be safe!

Snow in Red Oak

It does snow in Red Oak, it just doesn't seem to want to stick! We were so wishing for a snow day today, even though the forecasters said it was too warm to stick.

Have a great day!

A Little Basketball

I finally remembered to take my camera to Brandan's last basketball game. The lighting is really bad in the gym, but hopefully you can get an idea (click on the picture and you can see it better). The team was awesome and only had one loss and did win District. Brandan has learned so much this season from these awesome players. Mainly, how to think fast when passing and shooting.

Well that's a lot of posts for one day, but I had lots of pics to show and wanted each one to have it's own spotlight. Have a great Saturday.

Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentines Day and I hope that all of you did also! Here are some pics of the boys eating their fancy dinner (taco bell)! I did find the time to make them some cupcakes! They gave me a sweet heart necklace and red candle from the only store in town, who by the way was doing a booming business! It is funny here...they have these white tents set up sporadically in parking lots throughout the little towns that sell bunches of flowers. They had set one up in the parking lot where I work. There aren't many flower stores so they do a booming business. I thought it was so sweet watching from the store window at work, the different men, young and old, buying flowers for their sweetheart. Very touching...

100th Day of School

Week before last, Tucker celebrated the 100th day of school. They decorated a poster with 100 items and had to wear 100 somehow. Stamps certainly come in handy on days like this! Here is a pic of him making his poster and of his shirt. His teacher liked his shirt so much she wanted to borrow my acrylic stamps and now I think she is hooked!
