On Saturday Bob and I literally went from one game to the next when Austin and Jack were playing in two different athletic centers and had games scheduled side by side. Saturday was Austin's last game and since Jack's team won on Saturday they will be part of a tournament next week. Both boys did so well this year and both exhibited a lot of improvement. We really enjoyed their games. Rob assisted in coaching Austin's team and the picture below shows them together at half time. John usually assists in coaching Jack's baseball. I love to see the boys being able to spend that time with their Dads. They will all forever remember those times together and I am sure will benefit from the special attention and love.

Joy, a friend of mine turned 60 over the past weekend. I wanted to share this picture because she looked beautiful and the cake that was made for her by one of her friends was so cute and very original. She ended up having two surprise parties given to her by friends.

Happy 60th!

Today we wish our lovely grand-daughter a Happy Birthday. She is sweet 15. Peyton is a very good student and athlete. She just finished basketball and is now starting soccer. She is such a sweet girl with a beautiful smile and she brings many smiles to all of us who love her. Happy Birthday Peyton!

Happy Birthday Peyton!

We have lived in Texas since 1989. I think we may have seen a live armadillo maybe once. They are usually seen on the side of the road, dead with their feet in the air. Tonight an armadillo walked in front of our car. Bob took the camera and chased him in a field and took a picture. Once the flash went off the armadillo ran away with unbelievable speed.

The next post series is especially for my good friend Gill who lives in Australia. Two of her daughters live here in the US. Tamara lives near me and Taryn lives in Colorado. Taryn had business here this week so she brought the baby and left her two sons with her husband. Tamara babysitted for Taryn while she was working. The two baby girl cousins are two weeks apart in age.

The timing was perfect for me to not only check in on Sydney and Liam but to get to see Emerson. You have to take advantage of those moments because time goes very quickly and before you know it they are grown.

My friend Helen and I had lunch yesterday then went to Tamara's house to visit and hold babies.

We played with Sydney and Emerson for a while then they fell asleep.

What a fun afternoon! They are so precious.
