A crazy 4 days...

T had his last tutoring session with Lindsey and she brought gifts... and Addelyn.  Oh how he loves her!!


and she gave me and T a card that means SO much to us.





we headed off to a baseball Thursday night...

and this cutie got his first home run!


he was pretty bummed he didn't get the game ball but he got an icee instead.

We learned a great lesson about sports and friends.  Another boy (bottom of the order) that struggles also got a home run that won us the game 14-13.  I explained to T that while he played the best and deserved it... Ben NEEDED that for confidence.

Tristan understood and I think was then happy for Ben.

Then we had to miss Lauren's graduation weekend.  I told Connie about my new drama and that we needed time together when she gets back.  (Will blog about shortly).  She sent this...


(I love you in sign language) and we sent this back...

horrible attempt but we tried :)


then T had another baseball game Friday night and 2 out of my six girls from community came.

Heather and Leslie are so amazing.  I love my group and they knew I needed them to just be more.

More than I knew I guess.


and I LOVE them for it.


they are my village.  And you toss in sweet Micah and it made my night

Three more games today so off to get ready.

He ended his football season with the TCA Cowboys - UNDEFEATED



He played excellent and we were tied... until T-Bone got an interception.. and ran it back about "80 yards" for a touchdown. COWBOYS WIN.  My boy is jumped by the rest of the team - they were screaming and so were all of the parents!! KILLED IT

G was out with a concussion (ugh, that was hard) and 3 other boys were missing - BUT we pulled it off!!


(and he even texted - "we'll see what we can do for the fall" so who knows... G & T may play again!!)


Tomorrow is Mother's Day at Fossil Rim and then - I suppose, I'll let myself breathe... and cry... for what's to come.
I don't know what way to turn, I don't know what God is doing BUT I have to get back to my faith.  For today, it's shattered.

You wanted this SO badly Tristan.  You are SO good at math... but it's been a very stressful time for our family.  You've handled it well but I just wasn't sure.  Then you wanted THIS one thing so badly. You had to earn it.  All alone.  And you did. I never tutor him in math. THE ONE THING I CAN... he doesn't need.  So - we go back to 4th-grade science, social studies, etc. together! LOL THIS YOU DID ALL ON YOUR OWN!!! 5th place in your whole school!! ON TO MATH OLYMPICS!!!! rabbit face! PURE PRIDE!! and then killing it across the board! Proud Mom alert!  Proud Mom alert!!! We're pooped!  Gotta rest that big brain for tomorrow!!!

She turned one and the day was fun!!

Can't believe she's ONE already - Happy Birthday Baylor!!! she's injured so we couldn't take her to the dog park or running or anything she would have loved... praying her leg heals - can't really afford a $4k surgery!!! Then, Braeden came over and we headed to the company picnic! Awkward "family" photo... hahahahaha they spent most of their time in the bounce house... but there was some ping pong action as well... And when T got in line for the pinata... I warned them... that no other would most likely go after him... three swings and he sheered the head right off that thing! Lots of loot for all. The kiddos were pretty jazzed! Then, before the day was over we went out to watch my bosses all get hit in the face with pie.  $5 each throw and it all went to charity. I donated $20 (but I knew I couldn't hit them) and promptly gave those tickets away. Krueger... hilarious! Such...

And just like that... he's TEN!

Oh man, these posts are such a celebration but also SO hard. I mean, a year.  A YEAR has gone by. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?  And let's not dive too deep into that because that means I'm almost 48!!! But I love this kid.... BIG TIME He had 3 basketball games this weekend.  He killed it.  I love watching him play... he's just a natural.  But he's also kind.  If someone gets hurt, he's concerned.  He usually takes a knee but sometimes he's so worried the team has to jar him to do it.  That's something I love about him. He LOVES his friends. I mean LOVES and it is just the sweetest.  He's a stinker sometimes (who isn't) but he's a great friend that will stand by you, stand up for you and he will love you.  That's something I love about him. He loves animals.  He sees them, talks about them, recites the 9,000 facts he knows about them.  He loves Baylor, still talks about Aslan and Simba.  Another thing I lo...
