SUPER FUN SATURDAY

Our Saturday started off with Nolan and Haley's basketball game. Sorry, no pics--I forgot my camera.Yes, I know this is SHOCKING!!! We went from there to Tyler's game, which happened to be in Keystone :)Chase was coaching them up!!!

Tyler with Cole Mattox. They play at Chase's football and baseball games together. They have become pretty good buddies.

DECKED OUT IN BLUE AND YELLOW....

My football boys

My Ty may be a panther but he is an INDIAN at heart. He HAD to wear his Keystone shirt under his Palatka jersey!! I love that kid!

After the games, we had fun at the Julius'. At half time of the games, there was lots of outside playing going on.

Look at this BEAUTIFUL GIRLS--- we have our hands full!!

We had the gator fans in Celena's room and we had the FSU game on in the living room--since we had Grandpa Sam!! :) It was a good time.

We all went to dinner at Corky Bell's. I got to eat dinner with people that I love. Edgar and Denise were there, along with Sam, Ryan, Celena and the kids.

Edgar and Denise can't stay still when there is music on. What a precious couple!!

I'm not sure what to say about the people that are so loving and caring in my life--which I have many. Life and people sometimes bog me down with negativity. But with that being said, it helps me refocus on the ones who are at the top of my list, so to speak. I am thankful that Chase has wonderful men role models in his life---many of which were at the table--not all but many-----EDGAR, SAM, RYAN and JOHN---Thank you for being strong, loving and compassionate. I am SO thankful Sam loves me and Chase. I'm so thankful for my extended family that I can continue to love everyday of my life and that my life is not the same without them--life is too busy and I don't have the time that I want to spend with them==I'm working on that! That might not have ended the way I wanted it too, but I love my family!!!

I cherish this shot. How I love these guys. Nolan is growing so fast into a young man. I'm not sure that I am so ready for that. All I know, is that we need more Gpa Sam and more often. He makes me smile and feel loved. What a good man! I love you!!!!

Friday Night in Union County

This was Chase's amazing touchdown catch. It was a perfect throw from his BFF, Evan! The picture above was taken by a friend of mine. Christy was down on the field and captured the moment. Check out her site, www.outoftheelementphotography.com , She does great work! I love looking at her photographs. The picture below is mine :) Going crazy from the stands. It is hard to get good pictures of Chase because through the lens, I get excited :) Even though the boys lost, it was closer than they thought and they played hard. It was fun to watch. Chase, YOU ROCK!!

Cailtin loves the INDIANS and "the man with the hands" AKA Chasey :)

Another wonderful catch....

There is no telling what was going on here....

Grandpa Sam was down from Wisconsin for a visit and I am so glad he was here for a Friday night. Chase was very happy to have him here for that short time.

I love this one!!!

Our Newest Athlete!!!

As you know, Cait is our cheerleader/dancer. She has decided to try the sport circuit. She made the volleyball team and is doing well. We enjoy watching her play and have fun!! Caitlin, we are so proud of you for stepping out and trying something new.

GOOOOOOOOOOOO SIS!!!

Ready to play!!!

Trying to learn the winning cheer...

Cait is not happy about that play----a little sassy :)

Go Eagles!!!

Night of Joy

For those who do not know what Night of Joy is------It is when Disney shuts down the park to church groups. They play Christian music throughout the park and have awesome concerts. We got to see Third Day and Mercy Me!! It was lots of fun!! Chase and his girl--KP!!! I am thankful for the great girl that she is!!

Me and my Hannah!!

The GANG!!! These kids are so awesome! I love being with them.

Disney---where dreams come true. I have my dream!! HE IS AMAZING!!

The castle at night.....

Waiting for the rain to stop.....

This little nook is where John and I kept dry. It was an overhang from the restaurant we ate at.

Evan and Chase OR Mickey and Minnie??????

EVERYONE WAS ON TIME GETTING BACK-----A perfect ending to a wonderful night.

Tyler's Football

Tyler is doing so well in football this year! He as really improved. It is fun watching him grow as a player. He is becoming a wonderful leader on the field. We go from wearing blue and red on Fridays and blue and yellow on Satuday!

Phrases to Live By~

Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you~~Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense ~~Never let your prayin' knees get lazy and love like crazy!!!

I'm not a huge country music fan--However, this is good stuff. Take a moment and think about each of these!!

My Birthday/Chase's game

My birthday was Friday. John and I normally take off on our birthdays and spend it together. However, this year was different. Night of Joy was Saturday night, John could not take off both days...so we chose for him to go down to Disney with our church group. My day started off with balloons that filled the truck. I then proceeded to get flowers from John and the kids as well as my parents. My classroom smelt so good. I felt special!

We had a football game that night. We tailgated before and had a great time with our friends. This game was soooooooo CRAZY. This game lasted THREE HOURS AND FIFTEEN MINUTES!!!! It started at 7:30 and it ended at 10:45!!We were exhausted just watching. The boys were beat!!!THE OTHER THING WAS THAT THE SCORE WAS 64-49!!!!!! We lost but seriously---who scores a total of 113 points--that is like a basketball score. Anyway, they boys tired very hard to give me my birthday touchdown---it was close a few times but the attempts counts!! I love you Chase and Evan for thinking of me in this stressful time! Chase protecting Evan...

Chase got hit pretty hard in the first quarter.

'Would you let me talk", NO let me talk!!! :) I liked this one with both of their mouths open.

The cool guys.....

An end to a long night, but I got the best present ever...a night filled with family, friends and football and a picture with my baby!!!
