Life

What a wonderful spring we have had so far!  Just a little bit too wet, but wonderful, nonetheless.  I have been in the road a good bit the past few days trying to make as many games as possible.  In between rains, we have also been doing never ending yardwork.  Hopefully, this hard work will pay off!  I will be back in Alex City next week for a soccer match and softball game.  There is nowhere else I would rather be!

We were all able to be with Maddie a couple of weeks ago when she made the most important decision of her life.  This is the prayer I have for all our sweet grandbabies.  We are so incredibly proud of the wonderful young lady she is.

Reed has been playing soccer for a few years now.  All of his hard work is really paying off!  He is having an awesome year.  I don't have pictures from his last game, but he actually scored the only goal of the game with a little over a minute to play lifting his team to a victory.  The first picture below is also one of him scoring!

Lillian is playing for a new team this year and is also doing fantastic.  I still miss her old teammates and friends we had made, but I definitely agree that this was the right move for her.  She loves being with her classmates!  They are off to a 3-0 start.

I'm not sure there is anything more entertaining than Tball!  John Sawyer is having a blast, and so are we watching him.  His game this morning was called off due to weather, but we can't wait to watch him again next week.

Speaking of yard work-Belle is obviously on goldfish duty!  The azaleas were gorgeous but are just about gone!  We have a few irises and lillies blooming, but lots and lots fixing to bloom. Pop bought me a battery-operated weed eater, so as soon as it dries up, I'll be trying it out! 

Maddie is loving her track season, and so are we!  Her school doesn't have a JV team, so she runs on the varsity team.  Sometimes, I forget that she is a seventh grader running against high school students from across the state.  I forget, because she is doing awesome!  The pictures below are from a meet in Gadsden, but she actually took first place in the 1600 yesterday in Lincoln's meet.  Wow!! She has also run in the 800 and 3200 meter races, plus the 4 x 800 relay and the 300 hurdles. She is getting better with every race.

Next up, a day well spent with the little ones!
