This is my brand new newphew
"Stratton McNeill"
Cory & Shayla's new edition.
They have had a rough go, even a code blue on Shayla. Today Stratton got to get all the IV's out of him. We are hoping Shayla will get feeling better soon. Today they are giving her a blood transfusion & then hopefully she will get feeling better.

Banner's Basketball Tournament

Why 50? ~ That came from Big Brother Eric!

Banner did so GREAT in his tournament over the weekend. His team is a young team and is just learning. Yesterday marked the last tournament for this team for the season, BUT, only the beginning for Banner. There was a Super Great team there and they invited Banner to join their team. They said they would like to take him to Nationals in Kansas as their BIG man. Banner has worked hard for this chance. For a couple years now, he has been very self motivated and has faithfully put himself through a workout... Lots of push-ups. Look at the lumps on his arms. Good job Banner.

Stetson's Birthday

Big "15" for Stetson!

Eric & Effron stopped in to give him a Birthday Present.

Stetson had the opportunity to go with the High School Varsity Team this last weekend to a tournament. Pretty big deal for an incoming 9th Grader to get invited to go with the older boys. We were feeling pretty darn proud of him. I wanted to go so bad and was sick to send him to his first big tournament without any family. Thank Goodness, Eric, came to the rescue. He went with the team for the weekend and helped coach & watched out for Stetson. At night, Stetson went into Eric's room with him to watch movies.

Lone Star Barrel Race

Paul did a GREAT job running the barrel race so I could go with Banner to his tournament.

"D's" Birthday

Banner is laughing so hard because "D" shot Donte in the head with a Roman Candle.

This was his first try with Roman Candles and he hit the target.

Eric brought some of the guys over for D's birthday. Have to tell ya, we all LOVE Eric. Without a doubt, this California boy was sent to Stephenville to become part of our Family.

We BBQ'd, takes a lot of food to fill up these big boys.

After fireworks they played knock out until 1am. Paul and I gave up and went to bed at 1am. We were worn out and they were all still going strong.

Banner - Football Camp Champ

Banner was QB for the Stephenville High School Football Camp again this year. His team ended up Camp Champs. The High School Coach invited him to start coming to work out with the Junior High & High School boys in the mornings. Pretty big deal for a 6th grader. He is so excited.
