UNA Basketball Camp

You finished your first year at UNA Basketball camp.  You had a blast.  Everyday you went to camp this week and learning about ball handeling and skills.  Then most of the afternoons you also had All-Star Baseball practice.  It was fun watching you play with the other kids your age. 

Goodbye Highland Park

Today you finished the second grade.  You were so excited you "graduated" from Highland Park Elementary School.  Next year you will be at McBride and will be able to walk over to daddy's classroom after school. I don't know who is more excited.  Probably me:)

Highland Park is a Great Place to Learn

Texas Rangers End their Season

The Texas Rangers has had an awesome season.  You came in second in your division.  Tonight y'all celebrated in your victories.

State Competition

Today we traveled to Mt. Vernon Free Will Baptist Church for competition.  It was your first big competition and you did so well.  You won and get to go to Tampa!  You were so proud of your medal.  I am proud of you because you stood up and said your verses without hesitation.

Sam's 2

We had to celebrate Sam's birthday early this year because on the 18th we will be in Destin for Micah and Devin's wedding. Happy Birthday Sam!

Easter 3/31

Today we observed Easter. The day set aside for the celebration of the fact Christ was raised from the tomb. We had lunch at Granny Carolyn's and later I installed your new basketball goal.

We started the day with a breakfast at Church.  It was the first time we had done a breakfast before a service.  We all had a good time.

Mt. Leconte

So we set off hiking the trail "Rainbow Falls" in weather that was probably not suitable to hike.  I honestly thought that we would start and that we would go for about an hour and then one of us would give up.  We were in a Winter Storm Warning after all.  However, we are both stubborn and we made it.  I took roughly 6 hours to make it and I honestly thought at one point, around 6.2 miles, that I was not going too.  Our water had frozen in our packs and I was dehydrated.  When we made it to the cabin we were greeted with hot chocolate or coffee, even you said it was the best thing on earth.  We had a great supper and time of fellowship with the campers.  That night the cabin we stayed it had snow blowing through the windows, the floor stayed frozen, the bottom bunk was frigid and we sweat on the top bunk.  We awoke to about 18 inches of snow!  Breakfast was delicious. We put you in the lead and you led us down the mountain in about 3 hours.  You were such a trooper.  This is one trip I hope you never forget.
