Stuff

Cooper started Junior High Soccer. He is having loads of fun.

His specialty, getting as close as he can to the goalie!

Ignore the messssssy house! BUT this game is called Headbanz, it is so much fun! It would make a great Christmas gift :)

This is Bobbi's district run. They had to qualify for state.

and they did!!!!……The girls were super excited.

The state meet - we have to leave really early and I seem to get this sunrise pic every year.

The girls did amazing. The meet is held at a horse ranch that is to die for! I would be a care taker of the ranch in a heartbeat, well, maybe…..

and these three…..

More "stuff" to come. Life is not slow here, no, no….BUT we do a pretty good job of keeping the family in tact. We said, we don't mind being busy but we don't want to separate our family for the business. We are busy (games, etc.) but we do it together. If that is a secret I can share, I will share it. Stay together, take the kids to each others games, make them wake up early to see the other person, etc. It makes us feel more connected. We experience things together and makes for good conversation at the end of the day. It's all good :) ………………..

IF by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two impostors just the same; If you bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, and lose, and start again at your beginnings, and never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the Will which says to them; "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, If either foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the earth and everything that's in it, and which is more, you'll be a man, my son!

My Dad

our last christmas, little did we know!! we miss you-you are always in our thoughts. We sold his house, it was as if we had to say goodbye again. Nothing but fond memories. Movie night, hide and go seek, fishing, the beach, pool table, weight room, ice cream, bagels, peach diet iced tea, laughing...simply you. Miss you more than you will ever know. It feels as if it was just yesterday, thank God you are "free". "With your final heartbeat, kiss the world goodbye, go in peace and laugh on Glory's side. And fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus and LIVE....." .
