                                Cats tolerating each other again after a 3 month dispute!

It's another school year in the books.  Jayden will be a junior in high school (oh where has the time gone) and Casen will be in sixth grade.  Many times Clint and I are home by ourselves while the boys are with friends, sometimes we already feel like empty nesters.  I feel we are too young!!!!!  All-Stars is about to begin for Casen, tonight is actually the first team practice!  Jayden is a lifeguard at Harpers Landing Pool, and busy doing College Park Varsity baseball and basketball summer leagues in the evenings.  We are all so glad that it's officially summer!!!  HAPPY SUMMER TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEW CAR!!!

We have added a new baby to the household!  It's a 2012 Nissan Rogue!  We have handed Jayden the keys to the Pontiac G6, Clint drives the Yukon, and now I drive a Rogue.  It's absolutely perfect!  It's color is graphite, grandma you win, not candy apple red Jimmer! 

Dexters First Easter

Which side do you like better?

Basketball season is officially over. The boys lost to Naaman Forest, a Dallas school. It was a close game but we fell short at the end. Jayden got off of the bus at 2:30 hopped into the car and said lets go to the 4:00 baseball game in Magnolia. We came home gathered his baseball stuff and he changed in the car enroute to Magnolia. We made it in time for the game. He was the DH for the pitcher and batted THIRD. He was 2 for 4 with two doubles, a walk and 2 RBI's. Not bad for a kid who hasn't seen live pitching since July!!!

CAVALIERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Jayden looking to go to the hole!! TOUGH D!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yellow-heads on the bench!!!

So proud of these boys!!!
So proud to be a College Park Cavalier!!! The boys are amongst the top 32 teams in the STATE OF TEXAS, and still playing!!! Despite 3 knee blowouts and 6'3" is the tallest boy on the roster and (we see 6'6"-6'8" every game) we are a team of HUGE hearts and determination!! GO CAVALIERS!!!!!!!!!! I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN, I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN!!!

The CP student body (CAV CRAZIES) has stepped up to the plate as well, packing the stands at every home and away game. It really is something special to see!

OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!

10 years of build up in the master closet!

New and Improved!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After watching many TV shows over the holiday break we decided that we needed to go vertical with storage. We cleared everything out of the closet, 11 years of cramming stuff here. Added a shelf about 14 inches off of the floor, threw away some stuff, organized the remaining and tada look what you get!!! G'ma we promise to try and keep it like this!!!

One more peek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a quiet Christmas. It all started with church at 5, Pappadeaux for dinner, home to open up 2 gifts and play Uno Attack! Then it was off to bed to wait for St. Nick!!

Daniel Boone

I thought Neil Armstrong was cute! Daniel Boone was cute too!!!!

Casen had Wax Museum Open House!! He was Daniel Boone which was the perfect character for him to be, Casen would love to be a hunter, explorer, and pioneer like Boone was. He enjoyed reading and researching Daniel!!!!

Visitors!!!!!

Thanksgiving feast!!! Dexter chill'n on the floor!!!!

Grandma and Dexter hanging outside!

We have had company! Gma & Gpa have been visiting from Canada seeing lots of basketball games and Baby Dexter for the first time!!! Grandma and Grandpa have seen approximately 7 basketball games give or take and one baseball tourney, we have kept them very busy with their grandchildren. We just wished they lived closer so they could enjoy watching their grandchildren grow up and play sports!

First Varsity Football Game

#27 Is Jayden!!!

National Anthem

Jayden dressed for the varsity CP playoff game!!! We lost 26-20, it was a great game. He didn't get in to play but we are OK with that.... not a high percentage of getting hurt standing on the sidelines! On anther note basketball has started. He made the VARSITY team!!! They have had two scrimmages thus far and he has had 14 points in each :) and is the leading rebounder! The first "real" game is Monday at CP, he fits right in with the varsity and loves playing some basketball. Casen has a baseball tourney this weekend and I hope to remember my camera to take championship pics!!!!
