Ready for Spring

The flowerbeds are clean and ready! Some our flowers are already blooming from last year. Tuck and I planted some Bluebonnet seeds last weekend. He loves 'em like his Momma. Hopefully ours will bloom this year. With the lack of rain, I doubt the crop around here will be very good. Although, any is better than none. I am so looking foward to green grass and trees with leaves.

It is windy and cold this weekend. We are enjoying a Sunday in the house and staying warm. Brent and Keyto went North to visit some friends from home that are here playing baseball. After the freezing weather last night at Brando's championship game, Brando, Tuck and I are staying in. The team got 2nd place after a well fought game. I felt so bad for both teams. They were freezing out in the wind. Luckily we were protected from the wind with the stands.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Heaven on Earth

Some of the boys waiting for the ceremonies to begin for the opening of our new fields which are right next door to the new High School being built (shown in previous post).

Heaven on earth for a 14 year old boy!

The Varsity Head Coach, Heath Autrey. Making a few comments about the new field and thanking the citizens of Red Oak for passing the Bond to make it all possible.

The ribbon cutting ceremony

New scoreboards!!

The new fields are AWESOME! We enjoyed the ceremony and can't wait to go watch a full game. Brandan stayed and watched the Varsity defeat The Colony 2-1. All games were won on baseball and softball fields tonight! A great way to open the season.

Another AWESOME way to open the season was Brandan throwing a no hitter last night against Ennis in their first official game. He had an amazing defense backing him up that played a HUGE part in the no hitter. We have a great group of boys with some amazing talent. I know this team will do great things. We have our first tournament starting Thursday in Ennis.

Whoo Hoo! It's baseball time again!

Construction

on our new High School is going on just North and East of our new fields. The new school and fields are less than a mile from our house. The school won't be open until 2010 so Brando will attend it his last two years! Hard to imagine it's not that far away. When the new H.S. opens a new (rebuilt) Elementary will also open and that will change our districting lines for the elementaries and which schools are which for Intermediate and Jr. High. We will then have two Intermediates and Tuck will go to a different Intermediate than Keyto is going to. So much going on in the town! It is really growing fast.

Sick Day

Tuck isn't feeling well today (lucky for Dudley-he loves Tuck's blanket), for the 2nd day. A little stomach bug I guess. Brent was home with him yesterday and I got to stay home with him today. We have played UNO, read books, watched a movie and I made MY BOYS a Chocolate Cake!! Home is my element (bliss)!

I think he is feeling better. He won't be going to practice tonight, but we are going to run up to the new Sports complex for the Grand Opening of the High School's new Baseball and Softball fields and Tennis Courts to take some pictures. The fields are really nice and very badly needed. Then Keyto has basketball practice. Key and Tuck both start their basketball tournaments on Sat. Only 3 more weekends of basketball.

Will post pics of fields later hopefully, if not tomorrow.

Have a nice evening.

FABULOUS FRIDAY

Aren't those adorable?? I found them at Target! My craft room colors are red, pink and lime green. I love the damask and the owl! I am going to use the cup and bowl for supplies. The mug brings a smile to my face each morning at 5 am! It helps to start the day with a smile don't 'cha know?!

Have a fabulous friday!

Snack-a-holic

aka. TuckaBear loves snacks! I take a snack bag to every game because it never fails, five minutes into the game T looks at me and says "do we have anything to eat?". Keep in mind that chances are if we are going out of RO for a game, we have already stopped for a drink and a meal at Sonic!

Whew! Some hyper kids running around behind me. I'm not sure what the time on this post will say since the pictures were uploaded this morning, but I am typing it at 8:25 at night and these kids are wound up!

Better go get TuckaBear in bed!

FANS

These pictures are from Sunday watching Keyto's soccer game. It was cool and breezy but way NOT as cold as Saturday! That's Mr. Happy there in the middle...no really he is very good about going and supporting Keyto, he just doesn't like me taking pictures of him (unless his muscles are showing)!

Hugs,
