Christmas 2015

 

 This Christmas was one of my least favorite Christmases it was so busy and chaotic we were out of the Christmas spirit before it even got here. My crew sighed at the thought we were going to have to leave our house and be on the go again. Now how pitiful is that? We should be thankful that we are blessed with all these loving people but we couldn't see the blessing because we were to tired of being busy. Tragic I'd say!!! So this is all I got its not much because like I said we were all over it.

 

 

 

 

 

Mamaw Lillie and her great grandkids

 

Mauri was a big help and my high point of this year's scrooge Christmas.

I love cooking and baking and when my kids are in there joining in it makes my heart extremely full.

 

Christmas Eve tradition:

Jesus's Birth Story

 

Santa came

 

I didn't do China this year I had these left over paper plates and napkins from last year.

 

Taking down the tree...

my mom got me the snowman ornament right after Rhett was born and this year Maci drew my name in our ornament exchange tradition and she made my cry after opening the one she got me.

I love my H5 crew and she chose an ornament after my own heart.



and that's all I got. See I told yal my crew was just done. But I have made a promise to myself this year we are slowing down and if the school doesn't like it I got a bless your heart for them. Sports is not my #1 priority and I cant control what other people do but I do know I refuse to live for sports while missing out on what is really important in life. Peace Out

Shooting some B-ball...

outside of school...

Sorry I just had to

 

WARNING: picture overoad

Mauri had her Pee Wee basketball game at Riverfield last weekend.

She may be the smallest one on the court but she is ready to play and came to win.

Maci has been playing for years now so that's all Mauri knows she has been going to all of her practices and games for years now and she has had 3 years of intermural basketball before this.

She had to take a picture of her shoes and said: Tip Toeing in my Jordans

She wouldn't tell a sole where she go her shoes. Everyone was asking her and she replied its a secret I don't want anyone else to get them. We all know Mauri is just like her Momma and couldn't wear some ugly shoes so she hunted and found these. 

 

Maci & Paige:

I owe a huge thank you to these 2 for taking all of the pictures and videoing the game for me

I love these 2 girls

 

We love our favorite Coach Chad

 

Rhett is to young to play but he has been at the boys practices and supporting them all the way

 

When she is nervous shooting Free Throws

Just look how little she looks

 

Getting some air in her air jordans 

The game came to an end with the score 4-4

{Bragging moment: Mauri made 3 of those points}

We had to go into overtime and no one scored so they took 5 off the team and lined them up to shoot free throws to see who had the most and whoever had the most would be the winner. It came down to Mauri being the last person and so far no one has made a single free throw so it was all on Mauri's shoulders. Talk about nervous I was so nervous and I can only imagine what she was thinking.

So here she goes:

She made it!!!!! WE won the Game

 

Her team coming out congratulating her.

This team is a great group of girls

 

Mauri & Elle

These girls have came along way from their first intermural basketball games

 



Rhett's first deer

Rhett and Nick have been hunting and while Rhett was so excited they waited and thankfully one came out. A doe came out and Rhett waited for the buck to follow but in the middle got a call about a cow in trouble his head was stuck in a gate so Nick told Rhett if he was going to shoot then he needed to shoot because they had to leave and get the cows head out of a gate. He took one shot and that doe was down and he was on cloud nine.

 

Rhett and his doe 

 

 Rhett's exact words: Momma you should of took a pictures before

 I took my jacket off because this white shirt looks ratchet

geting better

I am trying to get back into blogging and taking pictures. After all I love looking back and I cant look back if I don't take pictures and blog.

I had begin slipping away from God and my quite time because I thought I was to busy and I would get to it later well that later never came and it would be the next week and I would say the same thing until my brain and body was just over being busy. I couldn't take another day without being at home with no where to go. I realized that the reason I felt so out of control and loosing it was my I was far away from my rock. I vowed that I would not let the business of the world control me instead I would control it with God on my side and the help of a few prayer warriors. I loaded an extra bible and a devotional in my car that way I would not have any excuses.

 

When I start my day off in his word my day goes better and I feel more at peace

Maci was having headaches and I kept asking her why she was getting them so frequently and she would just say I don't know. Until I questioned all of her activity, food, how long she was on her phone or tv and she finally came clean and said I cant see but I haven't told you because I don't want to have to wear glasses. I just threw my hands up... I knew it I knew something wasn't right.

I made her an eye appointment asap

Can you see how excited she is? I tried to explain to her that they made contacts so she might not have to wear glasses. That didn't do the trick, she was just not into it. Come to find out her softball coach told her to get her eyes checked but she didn't tell me because her fear of wearing glasses.

This poor child of mine is blind...

They told her good thing she isn't getting her license because she wouldn't be able to because of her vision. Now being a year shy of getting her permit that spoke volumes and then she began to get it.

One eye was 20/50 and the other was 20/60 and her left eye has a stigmatism. 

 

The doctor showed her how to put contacts in and take them out and how to care for them. I had to pay attention because Nick and I don't wear glasses or contacts so this is new for us.

 

We ordered her a pair of glasses just incase she needs to let her eyes rest from contacts or don't feel like putting her contacts in she can just throw on her glasses. We ordered these frames and they will put her lenses in them we should get them back next week.

 



 

After the eye doctor I took my big out to lunch

 at our favorite Mexican place before I took her back to school.

 

She had a basketball game that afternoon. It was a really good game I love close games.

Maci's 3 pointers were so much better they were hitting the basket. Amazing what a trip to the eye doctor can do for you when you can finally see.

I'm so proud of my #23

talk about a close game it came down to the last few seconds

we lost by 2 points but enjoyed the exciting game

After the girls basketball game its time to change into her cheer uniform

 and get to cheering for the boys game.
