Sarah was invited to the Superintendent Scholars Awards Ceremony this week. To receive the award, you must maintain at least a 95 average in 4 core classes. Out of almost 2900 students that are enrolled in the 2 CISD High Schools, only 250 students receive this award. Sarah was one of those students! Out of the senior recipients, they choose 3 names from each school to receive a $500 scholarship. Sarah has made that her goal. She'd like to be honored with this award every year and then she wants to win the scholarship her Senior year.Audrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318230208225164011noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587293765780962399.post-6445802991567715382012-05-09T19:43:00.000-05:002012-05-09T19:45:01.672-05:00AWANA<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkvZATfJQoPr7Ys65NTOli4uzyTBLVdXWY5Zg7HA2ZCd2YsxG2PjT1HnuajBQP0a3-4kzg5gPgR2dckumG60lXiqi1hRnK2RCL6KnaZzKei36Peuy6A6lUN2RVNRLmP67DxsN8ViGqZ50/s1600/DSC08834.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkvZATfJQoPr7Ys65NTOli4uzyTBLVdXWY5Zg7HA2ZCd2YsxG2PjT1HnuajBQP0a3-4kzg5gPgR2dckumG60lXiqi1hRnK2RCL6KnaZzKei36Peuy6A6lUN2RVNRLmP67DxsN8ViGqZ50/s320/DSC08834.JPG" width="320" /></a>

We just wrapped up another GREAT year of AWANA. This year, we had about 90 kids coming every Wednesday night to learn about the Bible, play games, sing songs and work in small group Bible study! Hayden started his first year of T&T, Rachel finished her last year of T&T, and Kate and Sarah were leaders in Sparks. It was great to work alongside some great leaders this year. It is always a blessing to me to see how God works in this program and in the families of those that participate. I think this was my 12th year to be a leader. Wow! Amazing how time flies.Audrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318230208225164011noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587293765780962399.post-71972116311282462072012-05-05T23:23:00.000-05:002012-05-06T00:01:47.416-05:00First Prom!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijKz93kGIFhDCQkTstFFaDhk1DocEz-rN7hQRN0shu4i4gDLyofWdnr2XVMHdlvRZgYEEs6B8nG0_I6FErEaagYWp7uoBlngk2Oo9cgKdU0_wpX2GFOCBA1GniQYStIGxJ1lchThDEucA/s1600/DSC_0001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijKz93kGIFhDCQkTstFFaDhk1DocEz-rN7hQRN0shu4i4gDLyofWdnr2XVMHdlvRZgYEEs6B8nG0_I6FErEaagYWp7uoBlngk2Oo9cgKdU0_wpX2GFOCBA1GniQYStIGxJ1lchThDEucA/s320/DSC_0001.JPG" width="320" /></a>

It seems like just yesterday, out little blond haired, brown eyed girl would watch all the Disney Princess movies and sing along to all the songs. Today, she looks like she could be a Princess herself. Kate is off to her first Prom. She looks beautiful and is having the time of her life.

Family, friends, BBQ, parade... it doesn't get much better. We enjoyed celebrating this morning with friends. Canyon has a great small town parade. We were pleased to see the US Forest Service in the parade. They have had numerous crews in Canyon for the last few months. They have come down to help fight the wildfires in the area. Remember, only you can prevent forest fires. We appreciate those that are serving in our area and were glad to see them in the parade today.<br /><br />Fair on the Square was a huge hit. Plenty of vendors selling their wares. We saw everything from face painting to funnel cakes and everything in between. It was great to see our new courthouse as the centerpiece of a historic celebration. I look forward to many more years of celebrating the 4th of July in my very own small town.Audrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318230208225164011noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587293765780962399.post-88611957532491387392011-07-04T14:46:00.002-05:002011-07-04T15:13:05.754-05:00Clarendon High School Class of '91 --20 year Reunion<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiQr4Xc-1gFCXg-DKiX1MTxu0XztCLRpx8W9cUADxXKSoWr3YrpRB4dR_Iy0BSksh8QbBWneEWqGlvjEAtUobbChwVB42z0ia-p3h5_1oBJe1Gv_GUUVUGKwvf2EWF_GpkmFYv_F0zMmE/s1600/DSC08032.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiQr4Xc-1gFCXg-DKiX1MTxu0XztCLRpx8W9cUADxXKSoWr3YrpRB4dR_Iy0BSksh8QbBWneEWqGlvjEAtUobbChwVB42z0ia-p3h5_1oBJe1Gv_GUUVUGKwvf2EWF_GpkmFYv_F0zMmE/s400/DSC08032.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625586944097902722" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgvm3TUHjVdVxFrN2vJS1-vVBDoEjt2fBtv8iVNOpTXqM3KgDO9mZ4XmpWvqoHfp6i21zeZgbTEEehkykngeMs8JU9JDc7_FkQ2mgv_cmwFmFuJPhzEnioIrWZn0UrHKd6_y5Qk326ugI/s1600/DSC08035.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgvm3TUHjVdVxFrN2vJS1-vVBDoEjt2fBtv8iVNOpTXqM3KgDO9mZ4XmpWvqoHfp6i21zeZgbTEEehkykngeMs8JU9JDc7_FkQ2mgv_cmwFmFuJPhzEnioIrWZn0UrHKd6_y5Qk326ugI/s400/DSC08035.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625586937801647666" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCn6qavL4_U0FvPNq4CXYEZe-E0h5aRwdpFAKpGtQVKtB_0IzbzLvJFqTX6Ash8VSJMhuGla7bap45nwLxRBGjimt3nCX718VNkZe3IiJrXqvlZF16zOkgmQzmXOOj3lVcGQXayUZdtmI/s1600/DSC08019.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCn6qavL4_U0FvPNq4CXYEZe-E0h5aRwdpFAKpGtQVKtB_0IzbzLvJFqTX6Ash8VSJMhuGla7bap45nwLxRBGjimt3nCX718VNkZe3IiJrXqvlZF16zOkgmQzmXOOj3lVcGQXayUZdtmI/s400/DSC08019.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625586923330200114" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7qGB-4S3e4Bnou9jQwNXP_LF_HzSdEnJaVEADat-yXjrEd9NpB0u56meYVB630p7H3NguX9iZKh8Kjkp7yoZyMlsRvJkkBMZwAhSWGfFPX_UWJPgUXs7IheAufUSeVeioHqL8Rak0uLE/s1600/DSC08016.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7qGB-4S3e4Bnou9jQwNXP_LF_HzSdEnJaVEADat-yXjrEd9NpB0u56meYVB630p7H3NguX9iZKh8Kjkp7yoZyMlsRvJkkBMZwAhSWGfFPX_UWJPgUXs7IheAufUSeVeioHqL8Rak0uLE/s400/DSC08016.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625586915183537794" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbEuTIRF7pEzzEDnwwpFlv-n9ZpPfmIlrP8gb4xVqyrILi5CT1reV334VVOwgCqy8ZuOI1FYtg-9dEklBbYAMP6Zhvs9ZKrWq2nNFKnk4dNz-EXPdO6wbkHJNKmksXpWurS1nRvy_fCW8/s1600/DSC08014.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbEuTIRF7pEzzEDnwwpFlv-n9ZpPfmIlrP8gb4xVqyrILi5CT1reV334VVOwgCqy8ZuOI1FYtg-9dEklBbYAMP6Zhvs9ZKrWq2nNFKnk4dNz-EXPdO6wbkHJNKmksXpWurS1nRvy_fCW8/s400/DSC08014.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625586952540931234" border="0" /></a><br />This weekend, I celebrated my 20 year reunion. Senior Class of 1991- wow, that seems like such a long time ago. We had about half of our graduating class show up. For some schools, that could be up to 200 people. For us, however, it was just 16. For just a moment, time stood still this weekend. Old friendships seemed to pick up right where they left off. It was great to meet the families of my classmates.

It gave us a little taste of an empty nest. We LOVED it! Don't get me wrong, we love our kids, but we really love each other and having fun together, watching movies that we want to see, eating out where they don't serve chicken nuggets, getting ice cream for fun...<br /><br />All the kids are back home and we have enjoyed hearing their songs, stories, and awesome tales of their adventures of camp.<br /><br />Here are a few of the things they shared:<br /><br />Kate came back from visiting Gran and Poppy in Lubbock with her new camera! She got to take pictures of the cousins in Lubbock and do her first photo shoot. She then took her camera to Hidden Falls to get pictures of the rodeo. She had a great time going shopping and spending time in Lubbock.<br /><br />Sarah, who went to<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Engineering-OutreachCamp-Wtamu/184851071555914"> WT's engineering camp</a>, got to weld this week. She brought home this really cool WT metal art piece that she welded together. She also got to make her own fireworks! She got to convert a golf cart to a solar powered golf cart. It sounds like she got to do a lot of fun stuff at camp. Now, the funny thing is that she talked about how several kids were falling asleep during the class time. She made it a point to count how many were asleep during each session. Her highest count was 13! They were engineers after all. (I do realize that engineers won't find that funny.) Sarah also won an award at camp this year. She was awarded the "Best Smile". She says that it is thanks to <a href="http://www.sparkmanorthodontics.com/">Dr. Sparkman</a>.<br /><br />Rachel, who went to <a href="http://www.hiddenfallsranch.com/">Hidden Falls</a>, got to spend a week with several of her friends and celebrated her third year at camp. She loves it just as much as the first year she went and has decided that she will in fact be a camp counselor when she is old enough. Her favorite counselor was Sebastian. He is from England and plays soccer for WT on scholarship. She, along with everyone else at camp, loved his accent. Rachel rode the barrels in the rodeo and did a great job. She looked like a natural on her horse.<br /><br />Hayden, who also went to Hidden Falls, got his first taste of camp. He was a little nervous when he found out that he couldn't call us, but he did great. He introduced us to every counselor at camp. His counselor in the Rockin' B cabin was from California. He learned about Hidden Falls because his mom is from Amarillo. This was his 10th year at camp. Hayden did the clown chase in the rodeo and had a great time. His favorite story was when the camp leader asked for his help. Hayden had to help unlock a bathroom. His leader had him climb through a window and into the bathroom from outside the building to unlock the door. He thought that was pretty cool.Audrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318230208225164011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587293765780962399.post-37288657473430671282011-06-12T21:58:00.004-05:002011-06-12T22:16:41.679-05:00There's A First Time for Everything...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKbBSpqe8XSMVi7ZGafBElfSDtPLIZG2j7camJ1corp1Qxs6puK7B9jiOGLX2Ati1tHIMjUyoUjVBfsIeofhM_5W_ULDImhexImnIdvzRn7OmvSFiGBIbBpYNpnYj_wN-IP-e7Q_k2afk/s1600/DSC07985.JPG"><img style="display:block;

While in Albuquerque, we decided to go back to the zoo. When we lived there, we went to the zoo all the time. The kids loved going to see all the animals. It has been about 6 years since they last went and they still love this zoo. We had a great time on our animal adventure.<br /><br />The best thing about this zoo is that you can walk through and see everything in just a few hours and still have time to make it to Old Town or the Aquarium in the afternoon. LOVE it!Audrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318230208225164011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587293765780962399.post-45579216972698355982011-04-10T22:33:00.002-05:002011-04-10T22:47:26.460-05:00Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives...

We went to <a href="http://www.standarddiner.com/">The Standard Diner</a>; a place seen on <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/diners-drive-ins-and-dives/index.html">Diners, Drive-ins and Dives</a>. The Standard Diner features a fabulous selection of diner favorites taken to a whole new level. Country Fried Tuna? Yes, that is what John had. Sarah had the Monte Cristo, shown above. Hayden tried the Mac-n-Cheese; while Rachel went with a safe bet and tried the kid's meal hamburger. Me, I went for the 'standard' chicken fried steak. Let me just say, there was nothing standard about it. It started with a bed of garlic mashed potatoes, topped with fresh asparagus and on top of that, was the best chicken fried steak in ABQ. Top that off with a creamy garlic peppercorn gravy, and I had the best dish on the menu! The kids really enjoyed going to a place that Guy Fieri himself had gone. If you're in Albuquerque, check out the Standard Diner.Audrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318230208225164011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587293765780962399.post-88158852506924352332011-04-10T22:27:00.002-05:002011-04-10T22:31:33.714-05:00Show Fest 2011 - Albuquerque<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaEDUztm8p6FMeK5RatGJBQHGZJHrJE8L6UIRGYxKRr-SPL2ta6l4Q2esIQrzFsH7ObFSOc3YfYoC80lUJiHwA1z9sVgSYmiXi2tR5l4tVXrdfZOhCGGYD2SvUw-09VFQstAkGb70YJgg/s1600/IMAG0385.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaEDUztm8p6FMeK5RatGJBQHGZJHrJE8L6UIRGYxKRr-SPL2ta6l4Q2esIQrzFsH7ObFSOc3YfYoC80lUJiHwA1z9sVgSYmiXi2tR5l4tVXrdfZOhCGGYD2SvUw-09VFQstAkGb70YJgg/s400/IMAG0385.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594163391577169426" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbbrNiQE6tmuYY8rUt34usc2YIsZP7ek_9KTYpiJkaoeAV5Ychz7FqjrAvP6ViE_fhOX-IWeJx4qn4-8J-wHu5a2P54LnNYRQ3GXB6U9xHhXTohMROojwd19aHe86PVOVzDpRXChyuOqY/s1600/IMAG0384_edited-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 201px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbbrNiQE6tmuYY8rUt34usc2YIsZP7ek_9KTYpiJkaoeAV5Ychz7FqjrAvP6ViE_fhOX-IWeJx4qn4-8J-wHu5a2P54LnNYRQ3GXB6U9xHhXTohMROojwd19aHe86PVOVzDpRXChyuOqY/s400/IMAG0384_edited-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594163390107599218" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv64veJ0dlhajyqtAv4UGMOqxY_IcmtT5CSt8Mh3Gui_ZSIaWERF5QfE7QK_9oJhCV-tVD8HRatZBbIMDO-FWgSjBLPHfAa9mEWljsVb1aBD5lI9T5dWkbCh9m3v0F1gOWfsoleC-UC5w/s1600/IMAG0383_edited-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv64veJ0dlhajyqtAv4UGMOqxY_IcmtT5CSt8Mh3Gui_ZSIaWERF5QfE7QK_9oJhCV-tVD8HRatZBbIMDO-FWgSjBLPHfAa9mEWljsVb1aBD5lI9T5dWkbCh9m3v0F1gOWfsoleC-UC5w/s400/IMAG0383_edited-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594163382706978898" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7-jTPqj8ESy5-BcFONOnWCsO6zviQVohlZey58ayQQCvBDXbjYjUfAsM0lf-3zB1PV2Dt_3kBUwx9xz-FIRRCy6Tq0nhMTiQVPssV2SgaHva4COyfq1YYEAIu0a-qPkKk34CEOwJ689U/s1600/IMAG0371.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7-jTPqj8ESy5-BcFONOnWCsO6zviQVohlZey58ayQQCvBDXbjYjUfAsM0lf-3zB1PV2Dt_3kBUwx9xz-FIRRCy6Tq0nhMTiQVPssV2SgaHva4COyfq1YYEAIu0a-qPkKk34CEOwJ689U/s400/IMAG0371.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594163402311154754" border="0" /></a><br />A weekend in Albuquerque to watch Kate compete in the 2011 Show Fest was very entertaining.

Our friend has a twin that lives in Lubbock. My mother-in-law posted about it on<a href="http://footnotes2stories.blogspot.com/2011/02/care-and-feeding-of-nikki-heat.html"> her blog</a>. Nikki Heat is the name she has given to her sourdough starter. This sourdough stater was given to her by a friend. It has been in their family for 25 years! When she suggested that she might share it, I felt a little unsure if I wanted to accept her gift. The tending, feeding, stirring...it sounded worse than having a new puppy to me. Um,... no thanks! I'll just get my stale old bread at my little grocery store.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I love to cook, but cooking is way different than baking. When I was a kid and my dad would work late, I would go to the pantry and throw a can of this, a can of that, a pound of this and a little of that together, and voila, my brother and sister thought I was the best chef ever. I loved being creative in the kitchen and still do. Baking is a whole different ball game and I don't know the rules. If you get too creative with your baking, things could go terribly "a-rye".<br /><br />After going to Lubbock and spending the weekend learning all about the care and keeping of Nikki Heat, I soon began to like her. I felt like maybe I too could make luscious cinnamon rolls and tasty breads. What once seemed to elude me felt attainable. I could bake and it could be good and my family would eat it. Okay, give me some! I'll do it.<br /><br />And so, I return home with my little bucket of Nikki Heat. (She travels well if packaged properly.) Eager to see if I too could make some delicious baked goods, I set out to feed her and then mix together a batch of....cinnamon rolls. There, I said it, "I am going to make cinnamon rolls". That is something I had never done before, ever. Sunday afternoon, I carefully followed the recipe. I measured everything just like my MIL taught me. I covered the dough and prayed that it would rise. Just before bed Sunday night, I took a peek under the towel covered bowl. Much to my surprise, it was a fluffy ball of risen dough! Step one, check! Next, I had to roll it out, turn it into a cinnamon roll and say another little prayer for it to rise a second time. This time in cute little stone pans ready for the baking. I got up early Monday morning to check on my precious dough. Yes! It did it again, and I didn't even have to do anything. Like magic, the cinnamon rolls were double their size, slightly touching each other as if not to crowd, ready to go for a little baking. Step two, check! Fifteen minutes seemed like an eternity that Monday morning. I waited, and waited... Oh, I almost forgot step three, the frosting. I hurried to make the frosting while they finished baking and by the time I was done, my first ever batch of homemade cinnamon rolls came out of the oven. While they were still warm, I frosted them. They glistened like a new pair of sparkly Toms! By this time, my children were eagerly awaiting their yummy breakfast treats. With oohs and ahhhs, they delighted themselves by eating fresh hot cinnamon rolls for breakfast that day.<br /><br />Well, my friend, if baking has eluded you, fear not. You too can make delicious baked goods right in your own home. All you need is a little Nikki Heat and some coaxing and instruction from your mother in law and you too can achieve baking success.Audrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318230208225164011noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587293765780962399.post-32247548057186259782011-03-05T15:29:00.003-06:002011-03-05T15:43:46.178-06:00CBA Champions<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJoJWL5ZHi9O4eFN0IKuwYKLvBIFLn3l9LSgNZL__DEJsF03uLvCzpNY4pCFL6dVSLzASc_fc7eOGHxdZ9fTRf3hvTPvdsQY-PFMhkcP79azaXsm6Mh_AfTyXO3kfTPeXvu_hkmWC35Ug/s1600/DSC07785.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJoJWL5ZHi9O4eFN0IKuwYKLvBIFLn3l9LSgNZL__DEJsF03uLvCzpNY4pCFL6dVSLzASc_fc7eOGHxdZ9fTRf3hvTPvdsQY-PFMhkcP79azaXsm6Mh_AfTyXO3kfTPeXvu_hkmWC35Ug/s400/DSC07785.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580711964204289026" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPm2dbxf0D7U_bvXSfnQO43x3wU_YeUbruqFQyysmxz_9hClWoWjg_jqo9vr9vH9PH79_pJnCUFGiq6eYjQPkvwHWY1NmUiMkPk_ekOGpKcgZHsfc7L1BcPF3d5jxgXZToJuCQ00a1IaY/s1600/DSC07776.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPm2dbxf0D7U_bvXSfnQO43x3wU_YeUbruqFQyysmxz_9hClWoWjg_jqo9vr9vH9PH79_pJnCUFGiq6eYjQPkvwHWY1NmUiMkPk_ekOGpKcgZHsfc7L1BcPF3d5jxgXZToJuCQ00a1IaY/s400/DSC07776.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580711957825079090" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxwQCOjpceQfff6pq6bFW63E8WBhsL866hzuDgnnb0jIQEsltafSiG7XJ9B1dg6FLnQ5CCwdSghMTuzAeJTimz0_cs95U-1qOxbTFXAr3Df5s9Hyw0GBRM_GxnjahIPCSdQ9-kJt6VsA4/s1600/DSC07783.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxwQCOjpceQfff6pq6bFW63E8WBhsL866hzuDgnnb0jIQEsltafSiG7XJ9B1dg6FLnQ5CCwdSghMTuzAeJTimz0_cs95U-1qOxbTFXAr3Df5s9Hyw0GBRM_GxnjahIPCSdQ9-kJt6VsA4/s400/DSC07783.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580711949305825298" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgmbQ9SaQCokarD4Dixu-KEo-pkq3UqnZrjWXni4WDL8mbcGIY_VsqKQyX6EMxEtjjKLTBuqRKjKimMvgNPmXYhNOb5sN0UblihZ7xM4tjwY9TaMqX42BBGECWpUqv7YQ54ufuZlyJpKc/s1600/DSC07779.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgmbQ9SaQCokarD4Dixu-KEo-pkq3UqnZrjWXni4WDL8mbcGIY_VsqKQyX6EMxEtjjKLTBuqRKjKimMvgNPmXYhNOb5sN0UblihZ7xM4tjwY9TaMqX42BBGECWpUqv7YQ54ufuZlyJpKc/s400/DSC07779.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580711946483734370" border="0" /></a>Well, since the day Hayden turned two, he has been prepared for this moment. For Hayden's second birthday, we bought him a little basketball goal. We handed him the ball and he took his first shot and made it! He has been ready to play basketball ever since. When we moved to Canyon three years ago, he saw the sign for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">CBA</span> and was ready to play. The bad thing is that you had to be in second grade. So, this year, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">CBA</span> sign ups came around and Hayden was ready to play. The time had come for some real basketball. John was asked to coach and he led the spurs to a Championship victory. What a season! The spurs went undefeated in the tournament. Way to go Hayden. We can't wait to watch you play for the Canyon Eagles someday!Audrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318230208225164011noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587293765780962399.post-86915601044494275192011-01-01T10:32:00.004-06:002011-01-02T17:28:55.818-06:00Comfort and Joy!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg2Hfn8T6g5lcb1n2lBjPczrnbwnQpcXOrhxfpZC-b2U9-wnoKacU_21KEtY_GNLGvj09OyXZTbrkttZ9eUoR2wSYmFY25uUGd13N0qgH0N5s-TCaI76iIQMBHoZxAc7JuM-SGM35FhlQ/s1600/DSC_8938.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg2Hfn8T6g5lcb1n2lBjPczrnbwnQpcXOrhxfpZC-b2U9-wnoKacU_21KEtY_GNLGvj09OyXZTbrkttZ9eUoR2wSYmFY25uUGd13N0qgH0N5s-TCaI76iIQMBHoZxAc7JuM-SGM35FhlQ/s400/DSC_8938.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557256520842663922" border="0" /></a>What a wonderful time we've had spending Christmas with family. It brings me great Comfort and Joy to know and love this family of mine. We spent several hours playing games, lounging in our pajamas, watching movies, building lego stuff, creating art and craft items, cooking, eating, playing Kinect... Okay, I've done a little cleaning and organizing too. I have enjoyed my time off and have really loved spending it with family!Audrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318230208225164011noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587293765780962399.post-17121097053840782972010-12-12T21:20:00.003-06:002010-12-12T21:43:38.593-06:00Hoggard Family Christmas<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuq-PeFqWHGXSOATIVPvV87ufCtn4d8iYbFa-AM46ZD8q2p41WQjtxy5_NtUq7e2Twv_KsmaH6yRwIy6bGh_VUA3EQAu2vc4WVTw9VTS5kV3JVJM5GSClQhkU6XEsFFQrLly8-2fRzoo8/s1600/IMAG0134.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuq-PeFqWHGXSOATIVPvV87ufCtn4d8iYbFa-AM46ZD8q2p41WQjtxy5_NtUq7e2Twv_KsmaH6yRwIy6bGh_VUA3EQAu2vc4WVTw9VTS5kV3JVJM5GSClQhkU6XEsFFQrLly8-2fRzoo8/s400/IMAG0134.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550002581861375346" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKa47jfNGn4iMtxUAaYkKzW8LKBfGn-rmpj38Xkxr3KZg8WYpMticGao4I50HZ0uVjR41RBQSCbJ26O-ZloRTBB7cJ6Jc5Y5FvfgsDcexUVRJoDK_b5EI6Zg-oFZx9oO7lr9BtOdFn420/s1600/IMAG0133.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKa47jfNGn4iMtxUAaYkKzW8LKBfGn-rmpj38Xkxr3KZg8WYpMticGao4I50HZ0uVjR41RBQSCbJ26O-ZloRTBB7cJ6Jc5Y5FvfgsDcexUVRJoDK_b5EI6Zg-oFZx9oO7lr9BtOdFn420/s400/IMAG0133.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550002560965291906" border="0" /></a><br />'<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqVXmVgMIj-uFgtpKuOUOrgZ27FljwhDzsM9okxFrF_PuNF0Zc3HMnzLQNXLRZMxoOXAV2SVRuLr-ecwyC9ZIDToCJaY4hXF_K2P2i7VJzB68VxSbwKB3k2bK03Agr_AH9MY0gOT736Ig/s1600/IMAG0135.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqVXmVgMIj-uFgtpKuOUOrgZ27FljwhDzsM9okxFrF_PuNF0Zc3HMnzLQNXLRZMxoOXAV2SVRuLr-ecwyC9ZIDToCJaY4hXF_K2P2i7VJzB68VxSbwKB3k2bK03Agr_AH9MY0gOT736Ig/s400/IMAG0135.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550002549585118114" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMw-eY8DOzHMh5MJ495ULE2gsunjXu7Qo83uOQJEheDj0lQHaGdZCJ4mhXvXNfkVxwRBpSRVH2ime_JZfCnoLurzilKpHnZN08qL6unSkr_TzToe8CSxdvfknVCF9Oz7ThQxqnAn7Axrw/s1600/IMAG0136.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMw-eY8DOzHMh5MJ495ULE2gsunjXu7Qo83uOQJEheDj0lQHaGdZCJ4mhXvXNfkVxwRBpSRVH2ime_JZfCnoLurzilKpHnZN08qL6unSkr_TzToe8CSxdvfknVCF9Oz7ThQxqnAn7Axrw/s400/IMAG0136.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550002536649104834" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOBZoitNGcsdPKV2bTtxnt97495ejc-IB50Cc76smqFWhtftLh1JWpoyP2YsOFCJycLWJkRbbuw7FZv3MSqjTYFPTfUjfLQ-q-rGZaIe_Lym5J7smGPLIDqy8umBXCP2ro-kIR7jmPAJ0/s1600/IMAG0143.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOBZoitNGcsdPKV2bTtxnt97495ejc-IB50Cc76smqFWhtftLh1JWpoyP2YsOFCJycLWJkRbbuw7FZv3MSqjTYFPTfUjfLQ-q-rGZaIe_Lym5J7smGPLIDqy8umBXCP2ro-kIR7jmPAJ0/s400/IMAG0143.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550002523479566594" border="0" /></a><br />Today, the Hoggard side of our family got together to celebrate Christmas. Our 'traditional' Christmas dinner includes chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy and more trimmings than you could possibly imagine.[ It reminds me of when my brother and I were in high school and on Friday mornings, before the big game, my dad would make steak for breakfast. The coaches got a kick out of asking my brother what he had for breakfast. I think they were hoping to one day be invited.] This was definitely a Texas style Christmas dinner. My dad cooks the steak outside and we prepare the feast inside. I think we could actually feed the entire neighborhood if we wanted. There were 23 of us and we had 48 steaks!<br /><br />After our stuffing, we exchanged gifts white elephant style. I don't know if any other family does this, but it certainly makes for interesting gift giving. We have come to find many women in our family would prefer knives and tools to all the sparkly foo foo stuff most women want. Also, we are not afraid of stealing other peoples gifts. The best gifts are frequently stolen and end up with a third owner for their final destination. If you don't put your gift away quickly, it might just get hidden in order to go home with one of its previous owners. Some of the gifts this year included a set of knives, a jig saw, an electric griddle, a warm fuzzy blanket, jewelry and a set of bowls.<br /><br />Hosting our lively bunch is always a treat. We love that they are all willing to come back each year.Audrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318230208225164011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587293765780962399.post-12124285073002845042010-10-12T22:07:00.003-05:002010-10-12T22:22:36.274-05:00Hoggard Family Reunion<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ6PCgNfQ6EL1pzM-gM9A00Wh3ya-hf6adTLwvFSYFB6oualTKqL7C4vvRHzK5nUBtknR0QVifdJ-SLvk6D5zSQKE3r24iJT04JWNjrHO9pPsdFD8vmTRUV7Nlw95bJS1JTty8sRBG6v4/s1600/IMAG0078.jpg"><img style="display: block;

The day started with a trip to the Bar-H Dude Ranch near Clarendon, to watch a cowboy action shoot. John's dad is a part of the group that was there for the day. It was great to see him shoot. We got to meet some cousins that came all the way from Tennessee. What fun to meet these great kids that had never been to Texas before. What a welcome! After watching some serious shooting, we traveled to Hedley for the Hedley Cotton Festival. The big town of just over 200 celebrates the fall cotton season with a parade, BBQ, Bingo and craft and game booths. This year, there were about 10 booths participating. That is about double the booths of last year. The weather was much colder and rainier last year. After celebrating the cotton festival, we went back to the Bar-H Dude Ranch for dinner. Talk about the BEST BURGER in the Texas Panhandle, this is hard to beat! Dessert was my dad's famous peach cobbler and homemade ice cream. It was a great day and beautiful weather!Audrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318230208225164011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587293765780962399.post-35784533097122977012010-09-25T21:37:00.002-05:002010-09-25T21:46:44.277-05:00Buff-a-Rama<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwr7Rmkn9eyUFBkSQqfuCx0oMIq1unzF11I7E1CcZF_fgFjt6CYwT26YVgT7iQwQvi-C4vJA8YCvVrMwD6XPEarbGHcfvCVYgU9J3FEyUiREu9SkvUoKlCz0YqJ-Um6Vq2Ti2821_gmwI/s1600/DSC07487.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwr7Rmkn9eyUFBkSQqfuCx0oMIq1unzF11I7E1CcZF_fgFjt6CYwT26YVgT7iQwQvi-C4vJA8YCvVrMwD6XPEarbGHcfvCVYgU9J3FEyUiREu9SkvUoKlCz0YqJ-Um6Vq2Ti2821_gmwI/s400/DSC07487.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521047076072488946" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGRynknB_yO7hETGHnoluW5EhY_bFdpDaIEvTOT_pJHl_N_8FeGPMHrZlgzFcVdSO7EGbXM8TLNiL3ns8_Mtl82LAUJqUDvw7EDkaTQrMIkxGs2VonwbgT2vb5gL3RvQQhkOL6ezxWIbI/s1600/DSC07485.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGRynknB_yO7hETGHnoluW5EhY_bFdpDaIEvTOT_pJHl_N_8FeGPMHrZlgzFcVdSO7EGbXM8TLNiL3ns8_Mtl82LAUJqUDvw7EDkaTQrMIkxGs2VonwbgT2vb5gL3RvQQhkOL6ezxWIbI/s400/DSC07485.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521047068212489314" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitOsxIxwtv1B93-MV94EK1Mjw2Ubf2DnpkKU7gEOlzIZiOmNtnisOh-QT6F8fZhNW8Puex2z29JvEByuC9Rq27PvjiKHOi48qOs5tQAj5M4baAc8YK_7RfKP6FpJ1BVCwqrrP0rfA1OwU/s1600/DSC07483.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitOsxIxwtv1B93-MV94EK1Mjw2Ubf2DnpkKU7gEOlzIZiOmNtnisOh-QT6F8fZhNW8Puex2z29JvEByuC9Rq27PvjiKHOi48qOs5tQAj5M4baAc8YK_7RfKP6FpJ1BVCwqrrP0rfA1OwU/s400/DSC07483.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521047057828106834" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd9GLJ64pAzDmVUvFklnjkJMm6xyzdRpt7VSBV0x7u8heOVM9aapQDgIEr__rr686a2jvrfHUm1B2hLHjzd-r8fza7QIgoqlBXL_QFTzNnOcyd3DFjwGocwQypJihAMjaX1RTGPa8BqwA/s1600/DSC07481.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd9GLJ64pAzDmVUvFklnjkJMm6xyzdRpt7VSBV0x7u8heOVM9aapQDgIEr__rr686a2jvrfHUm1B2hLHjzd-r8fza7QIgoqlBXL_QFTzNnOcyd3DFjwGocwQypJihAMjaX1RTGPa8BqwA/s400/DSC07481.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521047049639622130" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixetEOkSZETBK3nujbb9D4ny0Pp9j2r__JVmrYVgzqczLspi4vbrKG75d0yDUKL2puOhicDNcg-mTT1KeKvjFvM9grCU_MwTDMAR2ltH0bNpFAsRsvFKGu7d0QSUC5iNGf3jW-GCcV8Js/s1600/DSC07480.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixetEOkSZETBK3nujbb9D4ny0Pp9j2r__JVmrYVgzqczLspi4vbrKG75d0yDUKL2puOhicDNcg-mTT1KeKvjFvM9grCU_MwTDMAR2ltH0bNpFAsRsvFKGu7d0QSUC5iNGf3jW-GCcV8Js/s400/DSC07480.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521047046399302706" border="0" /></a>West Texas A&M held its annual Buff-a-Rama today.

WOW! The food did not disappoint. The Bourbon Ancho Chile Pork Tenderloin was incredible. We kept saying, "mmm, mmm" the entire meal. It was so good. To end our evening, we watched the fountain show at the Bellagio Casino.<br />Saturday, we tried the <a href="http://www.csitheexperience.org/">CSI Experience</a>. There are three crimes to choose to solve. We chose the Waitress found by the dumpster crime. We solved the crime and got a diploma to prove it. (not to mention a FREE shirt.) We strolled the strip and went to <a href="http://www.parislasvegas.com/casinos/paris-las-vegas/restaurants-dining/plv-le-burger-brasserie-detail.html">Le Burger Brasserie</a> inside the Paris Casino for dinner. We split a burger and fries so we could enjoy a little dessert. The burger was delicious. It was perfectly cooked and served on a fresh grilled onion bun. We decided on the dessert sliders for dessert.Audrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318230208225164011noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587293765780962399.post-74968588694636370322010-08-31T21:40:00.005-05:002010-08-31T21:56:29.067-05:00Wonderland Park<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ0d8EcQqgAWwm2b1pFyZ-ua7arsV-BIohqs5RuD_c-J4BDbiGeTh3XaP9-cBlHdcl5U4z6UfPw-D3JHpRdfji6dYz30YPGfDyYoBECdlwf3gdrpU0q63hgZ9LddsmboIPVvzM2JX9kTA/s1600/DSC07390.JPG"><img style="display: block;

Going to Wonderland Park for FREE! The kids had a great time! Okay, the kids under 12 had a great time. Kate was more concerned with getting to Target and finding her size in low top black converse tennis shoes on sale. What does it mean when you take your kids to Wonderland without your husband? It means you get to ride the rides with your 8 year old son. Bumper cars, the Pirate ship, Cyclone... only a few bumps and bruises for the day.Audrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318230208225164011noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587293765780962399.post-91310082167131141102010-08-29T22:21:00.004-05:002010-08-29T22:30:48.377-05:00Future Eagles!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQAW8iDRGjGxT3pXI1Ok93ttvOVsjbm8MBBBd-3bNlm_-iWy9wQcsgWgU3iW8XgaGctJvoDOIevyBaRPKJgj8zjoQCBhHgx5UGYO-gK44bd4CDga0ZAyt1inMZueWCFn0hOiqtutxAREw/s1600/DSC07377.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQAW8iDRGjGxT3pXI1Ok93ttvOVsjbm8MBBBd-3bNlm_-iWy9wQcsgWgU3iW8XgaGctJvoDOIevyBaRPKJgj8zjoQCBhHgx5UGYO-gK44bd4CDga0ZAyt1inMZueWCFn0hOiqtutxAREw/s400/DSC07377.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511038344516469474" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi55PDp3sl6RdHDcO_zMk3IwuABTiD5jo7Um5znvvNzjaCnsd7QxzXbMFYfxkJ6ToDaf7cxx5YHGIs6vb6SAg0Mo2qXnu2PNtB-31bxG8A0xRfJhaSbSqR7QVkjCyRTdJyR1YFjnMzCOj8/s1600/DSC07379.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi55PDp3sl6RdHDcO_zMk3IwuABTiD5jo7Um5znvvNzjaCnsd7QxzXbMFYfxkJ6ToDaf7cxx5YHGIs6vb6SAg0Mo2qXnu2PNtB-31bxG8A0xRfJhaSbSqR7QVkjCyRTdJyR1YFjnMzCOj8/s400/DSC07379.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511038346314110242" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2A2GAMkYt_ee_L2erKcoIch-IC3fnlIOvDyR-b_Jq09QkX5UrrSFYUX_Gvy0w3IU_esE1v1bYvz5-Y9XhS8sAiIKOMzmW1XGKYh6XaST6KGggDpK9IJFFV1SU1OGzVY9B_Ip0mvtqm0/s1600/DSC07381.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2A2GAMkYt_ee_L2erKcoIch-IC3fnlIOvDyR-b_Jq09QkX5UrrSFYUX_Gvy0w3IU_esE1v1bYvz5-Y9XhS8sAiIKOMzmW1XGKYh6XaST6KGggDpK9IJFFV1SU1OGzVY9B_Ip0mvtqm0/s400/DSC07381.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511038355999779378" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0CQYTLhYvMJjplSRmsdoE4t-7buTLWu07rVCs34hZTgEX8hcIlB4yLk6-5q9YK7SenxTAo6w_AukCp9aRMBDegIhlSK3jmseYc4dlvPjW9vyhF8sK1ghad5jUpYYG7diQ2e4ScCkggSI/s1600/DSC07384.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0CQYTLhYvMJjplSRmsdoE4t-7buTLWu07rVCs34hZTgEX8hcIlB4yLk6-5q9YK7SenxTAo6w_AukCp9aRMBDegIhlSK3jmseYc4dlvPjW9vyhF8sK1ghad5jUpYYG7diQ2e4ScCkggSI/s400/DSC07384.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511038362495073266" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYtQIbJlIccf8tNdy0goKq93eYkiLHHbD6HJVO8mk1TrzQwYOrq8yPF_O_kB6MAGXxCetkP72n3pOKDvb_MOVl-K41zrD8LOnnzD2VU7adWH76YekUEHyVlZy_3obWg7kD-44S_sRLQGY/s1600/DSC07385.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYtQIbJlIccf8tNdy0goKq93eYkiLHHbD6HJVO8mk1TrzQwYOrq8yPF_O_kB6MAGXxCetkP72n3pOKDvb_MOVl-K41zrD8LOnnzD2VU7adWH76YekUEHyVlZy_3obWg7kD-44S_sRLQGY/s400/DSC07385.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511038372699540978" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Hayden participated in the Eagle Football Camp this summer and as a result, got to run onto the field at the first home game against Lubbock this week. He talked about this event all summer. He was ready! The whole family went to the school night game on Thursday. Hayden was ready. Not only did he have on his camp shirt, he had on his newly acquired Eagle jersey that a friend of mine gave him. They should have had a sign for them to run through that said "Future Eagles". Those boys were so excited to be in Kimbrough stadium for opening night of the 2010-2011 kick off to high school football in the Texas panhandle. To tell the truth, so were we! We love high school football. And we love being back in Texas! Bring it on!

Attempted is the key word. A horrible storm came in and we got rained out. We got our tickets back and thought we might be able to see it again another night. This summer they came to visit again and we had a great time. It was a little warm, but not a storm cloud in sight. So glad we got to see it this year. It was fabulous!Audrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318230208225164011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587293765780962399.post-92221254729794567702010-08-19T22:44:00.002-05:002010-08-19T22:49:09.684-05:00Driver's Ed, Here We Come...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxLZ4Fi3T8qelc2BSTUDqT56hCRMZn1doiPjNyvxPax-8tRYb0e2yF9fyHK7qEFXGFelvCycVU9KlxVzHymzCG9jySRTFPvqCeRQbq7cYqD-6MHk6AlDLBWe9JElW287vdPglKISjwhzc/s1600/DSC07282_edited-1.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxLZ4Fi3T8qelc2BSTUDqT56hCRMZn1doiPjNyvxPax-8tRYb0e2yF9fyHK7qEFXGFelvCycVU9KlxVzHymzCG9jySRTFPvqCeRQbq7cYqD-6MHk6AlDLBWe9JElW287vdPglKISjwhzc/s400/DSC07282_edited-1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507333629328162978" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRWnbyVnfuVFzf9yu2iMnbXLCgEsoEi3NekvVSKl_sQKodajiE85Rl9ymQqw9B1Nl1bulFNEsZzV_SuFHGQB5sUR3_27PlhRWa98wy6n-yiZxkPhZH88W5NpMyLAfB1o60YBsFFVjhsgU/s1600/DSC07279_edited-1.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRWnbyVnfuVFzf9yu2iMnbXLCgEsoEi3NekvVSKl_sQKodajiE85Rl9ymQqw9B1Nl1bulFNEsZzV_SuFHGQB5sUR3_27PlhRWa98wy6n-yiZxkPhZH88W5NpMyLAfB1o60YBsFFVjhsgU/s400/DSC07279_edited-1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507333623240771970" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6GJXhhQmx1wywN5yp0UAFn_7pzgFQ9PWkSsldQTx9NAQ7P4wJvVhBaXJq6vjQq3PSOcrh7aSq-VKfF56Ae44pRmqo2VMyDhPrd2xFKN5W98vk3EqiVbfayD7nXdxUf5JX8-39gmtwNLc/s1600/DSC07278.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6GJXhhQmx1wywN5yp0UAFn_7pzgFQ9PWkSsldQTx9NAQ7P4wJvVhBaXJq6vjQq3PSOcrh7aSq-VKfF56Ae44pRmqo2VMyDhPrd2xFKN5W98vk3EqiVbfayD7nXdxUf5JX8-39gmtwNLc/s400/DSC07278.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507333619290484066" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjwdmXilD4a_snwN1IIfWg5a7ITwGc3tBhImmNR5lynhYjbs0yIfy-pZLUbaTbu8qZzFi537JS98paya1GKh5KadO4QuA9rrV_FYm9QTU_8PDNiWl_miwLAJiukQXXUQLHcdPKgRQd4as/s1600/DSC07274.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjwdmXilD4a_snwN1IIfWg5a7ITwGc3tBhImmNR5lynhYjbs0yIfy-pZLUbaTbu8qZzFi537JS98paya1GKh5KadO4QuA9rrV_FYm9QTU_8PDNiWl_miwLAJiukQXXUQLHcdPKgRQd4as/s400/DSC07274.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507333611722734898" border="0" /></a><br />Well, our little girl is growing up. She just turned 15. What does a 15 year old want for their birthday? To be 16, so they can drive. So, parent taught driver's ed is in our near future.
