Mama Bragging . . .


A Great Week!!

Paxton participated in his first fishing tournament - he caught a really big catfish! I can't help it - I am so proud of him! Here is the picture of the big catch!!!



Parker has had a good week too! He is on the school's literary team for spelling and won the region and will participate in state on March 17. He also hit his first home run EVER today! I hope it's the first of many :) Update - SGA Literary Team won first in State, Parker got second in state for spelling!

Ok - I'm through bragging on my boys.

Marching On . . . .

Can you believe it is already March? The time changes this weekend (yay!) and our days will be longer and filled with more activities. Our belief is that as long as there is daylight . . .

Basketball season finished with Round 1 in the State Tournament, and Parker was named to the All-Region Team. We are proud of his recognition! Baseball has now started and the Warriors are off to a good start. Parker is playing left-field this year and Paxton will be playing on a rec-department team, 13-14 year olds. This is OUR time of year!!

Parker also participated on the school literary team - spelling. Much to his surprise he WON at the region level and will compete at State next week! The entire Literary Team did well - we have some really talented and special students at SGA!

Paxton will compete in his first fishing tournament tomorrow! He is FIRED UP about that. An organization called Fishermen for the Hungry is having a special tournament. Teams can be boaters or non-boaters. Fish can be caught anywhere, brought in dead or alive, but must be at weigh-in by 3:00. He is so excited he might not even be able to sleep!! Randy will be fishing with him, and they have been planning for three weeks - buying lures, rigging their reels, and got the crickets and worms today! Good Luck Paxton! I will post pictures of his catches!

In my last blog entry, I mentioned we would be adding a new baby girl to our family - well, she is here. Demi Sophia Alsobrook was born on February 12 and she looks a lot like her big sister, Daley. I can't wait to meet her!! Congratulations to Zach and Lindsey Alsobrook! I had also mentioned a new cousin-in-law. Pearson (Zach's brother) is marrying a very special Lauren this summer! I am feeling really old - I used to keep Zach and Pearson when they were little!!

Life in our small town is good ! Til' next time!!
