Basketball

It is that time of year and has been for awhile, but with Bailey playing basketball on Saturdays and having practice twice a week, it really is in full gear. The girls won Area last night by 44 points. GO COWGIRLS!! The cowboys had a practice game today. Bailey played at 12...Rylee at 1 and Craig at 3. We had fun watching cousins play. The Cowboys will play Monday for Bi-District...the Cowgirls on Tuesday for Regional quarterfinals I think. We hope the girls and boys both win...Bailey will play at 4:00 next Saturday afternoon.

I am in TAKS stress mode. March 3rd. Things are fine but will be pleased when that burden will be lifted.

This is the season of Lent. My mind is trying to clear. It was interesting when the other day I found another blog on m'lynn's blog. There is a young girl in Uganda named Katie that really has touched my life this week.

I listened to a sermon she recommended last week. Please remember we are all here for God's purpose and plan. I just want to be the person God wants me to be. Sit a Spell blog discussed adopting a child from Haiti. I feel that is soooooooo noble and what God considers cost not comfort which is what Katie discussed. The sermon talked about being Radical for Jesus. I hope to get to listen to it soon. Here is the website:

Ok, I have rambled. Bow's family adventure--you write well, M & J--proud of your writing on the blog, my nephew does a great job on his blog as well. I am the English teacher and I ramble, but anyway. Time is not really on my side in the creative endeavor of this, but I am trying to stay connected. I believe we really need to see sun on my blog...sun to come, but for now the scene is beautiful.

Bailey is doing consumer decision making for 4-H once a week, dance, cheerleader prep class, art and basketball, too. Am I crazy? Why would I allow her to do sooo much? I don't know. I am trying to make the best choices.

I love my family and enjoying it.

Bailey had shots this week, fell pretty good in PE, went to the ortho and fell on her tailbone today. Last Sunday, we were eye to eye and her eyes were taller than mine!!

Teagen is reading and doing math. Things are pretty calm for him which I believe isn't at all that bad. He will be busy soon. I just want to make sure he is getting what we need. He is thinking all the time. Kyton is going to preschool two days a week. They seem to hang in there through all the games. He laughs often which is a great trait.

I hope we all focus on the things God has planned for us. I am thankful for it all. I wish my house was cleaner than it is...Throwing away things would be theraputic.

Goals: walk, no diet drinks, spend less money so we can pay off the Sequoia.
