I really feel the need to share and to brag about my kiddos..
I may have mentioned before how my twin fellas have been doing cross country since their 7th grade year.

7th Grade year |

10th grade year |
I have to admit I disliked this “sport” because it was boring and it consisted of lots of early morning rides to school for practice. But, Trav and I sucked it up and as long as they were willing to give it their all, we supported them. Who would of thought that by their sophomore year in high school they would be doing so well and actually getting medals at these cross country meets.!?
Heck who would of thought that Trav and I would be THOSE crazy parents that are hard core on the side lines and mile markers screaming and yelling and cheering them on with our stop watches.. We love it! And we are so proud to say that our twins fellas made regional’s! This year they went to district and the top 10 runners qualify to go to Regionals. So Aaron and another team mate made top ten.

Aaron got 9th place with a 19.10 3 mile run |
But, because we actually have a good group of dedicated guys that make a team, they got 3rd place and get to go as a team also to the Regional Meet this Saturday in Arlington. Now, I am not going to be negative and say I am sure the road ends here for them. Because they will be competing with the best from here on out. But I will say either way, I am so super proud of these fellas for making it this far.. It is nothing but pure heart and dedication that each of them have, that has brought them to this point! Good Luck Guys! And Congratulations!!
One more picture just to say a big thank you to My Sis in law and her family for stopping by to show their support and let the boys know they are so proud of them..

Also a big shout out to my sugar bear.. Who after a rough tourney last summer.. Had lost her joy for pitching.. But this Fall ball season she had to pitch for her team as the regular pitcher was out sick. And my jazzy girl did an amazing job. She did not let her team down, and by the end of the season she found her Joy again.

And I have to brag and say that a parent from one of the teams we played wanted let me know that they love it when they play against Jasmine, because of her good attitude and because she is just so darn cute.. =0) Also a big shout out to Coach Ben, we look forward to playing with them every other year. Great coach who the girls respond to, and he knows how to build them up and make them feel they can take on the world.. His wife is pretty amazing too..
Now on to Basketball Season!!!
