Cross Country 10.01.09

Another cross country meet for Hannah.



Hannah and her peeps.







She got 5th place with time of 7 min 23 seconds.



And just when I thought they didn't like each other :)

Treasures

It's been weird going thru my Mom's stuff so soon in my life. We are having a garage sale on Saturday mainly to sell a lot of my Grandma's things but also some of my Mom's things that Daddy won't use or doesn't need. We will have to have another one later because there are still closets to be cleaned out. My Mom liked buying/collecting things, LOL! I wanted to share some pictures of treasures I have now.



These knives belonged to my Grandpa Colley (my Mom's Dad). He was a butcher for most of his adult life and these are the knives he used. I want to display them but not sure how I will. I may have them framed in a shadow box.



This teapot belonged to my Grandma Colley (my Mom's Mom). I love it.



It is a McCoy. I didn't know that they were collector items until my sister Shelly told me. She also informed me it's were the phrase "the real McCoy" came from. Who knew?



This came from Brent's side of the family. We have 2 of them. We were going to hang them from our cowboy grill but they are to little. Brent set them on the tables outside and I'm going to put candles in them. He came up with that idea. I'm training him right :)

For A Friend

I made this for a friend who is walking in the 3 day walk for breast cancer in Washington D.C. next week. She will be able to get it on the road.



Go Kathy Go!!! I'm so proud of you :)

Sketchy Thursdays (sketch 9.24)

My LO for the sketch/challenge blog Sketchy Thursdays.



I took this picture of Colton on his first day of being a freshman in high school. AAARRRRGGGGG!!! Sorry.

Journal reads ~

What happened? to that sweet little boy? Colton is a freshman today. I still remember taking him to 4 year old program; like it was yesterday.

Thanks for looking!!!

Colton Pictures Finally

I told you Colton was still around. And I have proof :) They finally got to play at Sulphur yesterday.



That's him playing left field and ignoring me.



See. Ignoring. And a question for you baseball coaches: why white pants? WWWHHHHYYYYY!!!!!



And he's batting.



Get back Loretta!



Making Momma nervous!



Please don't send him.



Son you are getting mighty brave. Remember you inherited my speed. Sorry!

And that's it. No picture to end my witty post. They lost both games but they hung in there. They are young so it should be fun watching them play in the coming years.

Cross Country 9/26/09

Guess what? More pictures of Hannah running. Colton has a baseball game today so stay tuned for proof he is still around.



Let's get fired up!!!



And they're off!!!



Hannah wore her spikes for the first time. I just knew she was going to fall but she didn't.



Hannah and PaPa. I'm so glad they do this together. This was a Junior High meet so she was running against a few girls her age but mostly older girls. She placed 34th out of 86 and ran a 7 min 48 sec mile. We are really proud of her.



And just for Brent. A picture of me with Hannah and PaPa :)

It's In Writing

A couple of weeks ago, Hannah told her Dad that she wanted to get married down by the pond. He told her she needed to put that down in writing. So Tuesday night she brings this to us.





It says:

This is my handprint. I want you to keep this tell I get married. I want to get married at the pond. P.S. I want it pretty.

She fills my heart. She drives me crazy most of the time but I can't imagine my life without her.
