Caleb came home with some new jokes recently. I think they’re pretty funny. (I really wanted to get him on video, but he was feeling a little camera-shy. Sorry, you just get text today.) Q: What do boxers (the athletes, not the dogs) like to drink? A: PUNCH! Q: What did the lion say after […]

It’s baseball season, y’all! The Chargers started their spring season with a tournament this weekend. They were 1-1 in pool play. Really, they should’ve been 2-0, but, well, we had to give the other team a break. (That and, I’m no expert, but when a pitch hits in the dirt, isn’t that a ball instead […]

Well, I promised a game post about the Bulldogs’ – Caleb’s team for those of you new to the blog – basketball playoffs. I had hoped to still be posting about Bulldog basketball through the weekend, but alas, it is not to be. The Bulldogs went into the playoffs as the #3 seed, and after […]

I might have mentioned this before, but I am SO proud of Jacob’s musical ability. He’s doing so well on trombone in 7th grade. He’s the first chair trombone in the top band at his school (so, yes, he beat out some 8th graders! Woo-hoo!). On Friday (2/22/13 – the night before I ran the […]

Saturday was the league playoffs for Jacob’s basketball team. They went into the playoffs as the number 1 seed. They played two hard-fought games almost back-to-back (11 am and 1pm) and came out victorious! Keller Elite 12U basketball, League Champs! Don’t you just love how Jacob is the only one not smiling? Even his Dad […]

It’s no secret that my boys are smart. And handsome. And good-natured. And funny. And loving. And…well, you get the idea. They’re generally dreamy kids. Today, in particular, we’ll talk about Jacob’s intelligence dreaminess. Back in the fall, we were notified that Jacob’s hard work in his academic classes qualified him to take part in […]

Remember the Valentine’s Day goodies I posted about last week? I did finish the goodie bags during the week, but that Valentine box? Yeah….it didn’t get started until today. Thankfully, it also got finished today…and then partially destroyed (there is a toddler in the house, and he was helping–you do the math)…and then refinished (sort […]

Is clearly to be surrounded by devastatingly handsome young men. I got new frames for two of the 8×10 size pictures of Jacob and Caleb that are mainstays on our mantle. I reframed the pictures and as I set them back up, it struck me again of just how incredibly handsome all the boys are. […]

Clearly I’m back to my once-a-week-at-best postings. I know my 4 readers are just heartbroken to not be hearing from me more. My excuse this week, at least, was having a sick kid from Monday morning through the wee hours of Wednesday morning. As for the days/weeks prior to that? Yeah…I got nothin’ (that’s my […]

There are many reasons why I love Texas. Weather like today is one of them. Weather like today–in January–ALMOST makes me forget about our nasty-long streaks of 100+ degree days in the summer. It was upper 60s, sunny, and beautiful. Sam, Caleb, and I went over to the Duffey’s house so Sam and Lily could […]
