Snow Day, January 17th

Sawyer and Spencer's Confirmation Day!

Sawyer and Spencer were confirmed on Sunday, March 25, 2007 at White's Chapel Methodist Church in Southlake, TX. We, as a family, joined the church. There were about 50 confirmed at this service. We celebrated by going with another family, the Torrey's, to Shogun Habachi. The boys, the Torrey's have three boys too, ordered Shirley Temple drinks, Ebo, water because he doesn't like cherry anything, and were entertained by the Habachi chef. Great show, great food, great company. The boys received new Bibles and are very proud that they are confirmed.

Way Too Long!!!

Goodness~time has been flying by! I haven't been good about keeping this updated. So, where to begin......last post was of Eric's wedding. What a blast!!! Holidays came and went. Boys were sad that we didn't roadtrip up to ND. I don't think Bear and I would could have handled another 17 hour trip a month apart. There are so many movies you can watch in one trip.

As you can see in the picture, we have serious hunters in the family. Sawyer and Spencer got their first bucks!!! Ethan fired off a few shots but like he said, "I am only 8."

January was definitely freezing for us. We even had a few dustings of snow and of course, a snow day, on my BIRTHDAY!!! The boys schemed with the neighor and surprised me with streamers, balloons, an ice cream cake and laughs!!! What memories!!!

Basketball just wrapped up and Sawyer and Spencer's team came in 2nd place in the end of season tourney. It was a very difficult week. We received word that the boys' head coach son, also their assistant coach, was killed in a car accident. It really hit home for the boys that someone so close is gone. I had the hardest time at the funeral. When you are a mom, boy, you just feel for them. We all do. And on top of that, Spencer's bike, that he saved for, was stolen from a friend's house that he was at. We filed a report with the police and even made the Keller Citizen in police reports. Received a call Saturday from his friend that he had found the bike!!!! Spencer was right over the next morning to get it. It was dirty, had a flat front tire, and some scratches. But he was so happy to get it back.

Baseball now has geared up. S&S had tournament last weekend. We didn't fair well. But with a new team, just need to get the mojo going. Ethan had his first baseball practice last night.

Spring Break is next week. So happens that I also have Spring Break, too!!! The boys keep asking what are we going to do? Catch up is what I have in mind, especially with time change this weekend.
