Little Dribblers

Reagyn played Little Dribblers basketball with her friends at school.  She had so much fun!  She loves the game and is quite good at it. 

Lynn County Stock Show 2014

Karson showed Red and got 3rd in his class.

 

 Reagyn showed Shadow and got 4th in her class.  He gave her a hard time as she tried to walk him around the ring.

 Then she showed a goat for the very last time...thank goodness!  He got 4th in his class.

Both kids got to go through the sale.  What a blessing!

Tumbling

Reagyn got to tumble at half time of a basketball game.  It was fun to watch.  And she landed EVERY turn she made!  She's got those powerful legs that makes her handsprings look easy. 

Reagyn's 9th Birthday

We had a little get together with the family for Boo's bday.  Pizza and cake...is there anything better?  got some pics but I missed several people.  Not all got to stay the whole time but they still came to celebrate with us!

 I put trick candles on her cake...she had to blow several times to get them out. :)

Can't believe she's 9!  She is such a beautiful girl on the inside and out.  I love you Boo!

Those who have gone before us...

2013 was a difficult year.  We lost 4 dear family members. 

Billie Lane...the orange lovin, pie makin, sewin, craftin Memaw...had a special place in our hearts.   The  kiddos, especially Karson, spent a lot of time with her.  They loved going to her house.  Her specialty was crunchy sugar cookies and allowing them to drink as many cokes as they wanted!  I am thankful I was given a few Santa's and other pieces of her handiwork.  She was a very talented lady.  I am so glad she was a part of our lives.

Ruth Spradling...my family lovin great grandmother...will be missed too!  Mimmie lived a long good life.  She was a strong independent woman, even after she lost her eyesight.  I will always remember her wanting the family to sing Amazing Grace when we got together every 4th of July.  And her yummy strawberry cake!!

Dale Zant...church lovin, family lovin, sports lovin grand and great grandfather...was a big part of our lives.  He was at every basketball, baseball, softball, football game he was aware of.  He could be counted on to be at church 3 times a week and bringing Lanny and Leo a coke every afternoon.  Sometimes he'd just come to the barn to check on the steers. I will always remember how he gave everyone the benefit of the doubt and was an all around positive and laid back person. 

Gonna miss my Daddy most of all.  His illness was awful and took him from us too early.  However I do have to be thankful for it as well.  His having to be home allowed us to become great friends and allowed him to become a great Papoo! My kiddos got to spend lots of time with him before he was too sick.  I am thankful they will have those memories of him.  If he had been working we would not have been able to enjoy this kind of relationship with him.

 

Looking forward to seeing them all again one day!
