Just Another Day At Our House

2009-07-14T11:00:00.000-07:00

Critters.... Ya Gotta Love Em. On Father's Day, the boys came home from doing chores with Paul. They were concerned that they had found 2 little kitties in the hay crying, with no Mom. After church the boys and I ran to check to make sure their Ma had come and taken care of them. Well, there they were in the 100 degree heat yawling their heads off. So, we adopted. Moral of the story, if you're looking for an extra project , just pick up a couple brand new kitties and feed 'em on a bottle. They just need fed every 2 hours, and cry to be held at all times, not a big deal at all. Actually it has been a lot of fun.

Stetson, Banner & Dallon had a blast attending the TSU Basketball Camp. Dallon has now been taken in as one of the brothers. It was so fun having Dallon come and stay for the week.

Stetson

2009-07-14T10:32:00.000-07:00

Stetson did so great in his age group. Stetson is an incoming 9th Grader and was playing against incoming Seniors. Also, he was out for a full year with injuries. He was one of the top players in the High School Division, made us so excited to realize it is only going to get better and better for him. Daily they have a hand eye coordination game for all 115 players. Stets has amazing hand/eye coorination and made it into the top every single time. Stetson was coached by another of our favorites Coach Adams.

Banner - 50

2009-07-14T10:31:00.000-07:00

Banner was coached by Eric (50) again this year & obviously it worked. In his age group he won the "Hot Shot" competition & got 2nd in the "Foul Shot" competion. In the middle picture he is laughing as all the players are razzing him for spanking the older boys.

Ok, I don't want to tell to much of Dallon's Story cuz I know Jaimie will enjoy doing that, but, I have to brag on him a bit. First off, he was coached by "D". On our June 15th post, it was D's Birthday we were celebrating. "D" took Dallon under his wing and really took care of him. Dallon did sooooo GREAT, he was playing against kids that were Banner's age. I had to include the middle and bottom picture so I could tell you this story. Dallon grabbed the ball from the tip off and then ran to his goal and made the opening shot of the game with older kids all over him. It was so exciting, I can assure you everyone heard us yelling.

The Guys came over for dinner & to shoot shot guns. It was so funny. We asked them if they had ever shot - shot guns before. Most of 'em said no, but, one of them said he had shot a hand gun. Paul replied "Who did you shoot at, your neighbors?" They all thought that was hilarious. Notice the bottom gun, that is Banner's brand new Shot Gun that he got when he turned "12". It is pretty good lookin'.

4th of July was so much Fun! We were able to enjoy the day and evening with Friends & Family, don't know how that gets any better. One of our dear friends ended up in the Hospital on the 4th, so, we were blessed with 3 darling little girls for the day. It was soooo fun, we just don't know how to act with little girls.

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

2009-06-29T08:41:00.000-07:00

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

2009-06-16T08:34:00.000-07:00

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

2009-06-15T08:36:00.000-07:00

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

"D's" Birthday

2009-06-15T08:31:00.000-07:00

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

2009-06-01T08:21:00.000-07:00

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.

Ok, this is way after the fact, BUT, we had so much fun going to see Jaron, Em & the boys. Notice the top picture, like Father, like Son, like Grandson!

I have no idea how to control this blog stuff, so, I'm just hitting the upload button and hoping it shows up. Here's the remodel. Maybe one of these days I will get the video of Paul chainsawing the end of the house uploaded.
