Latest Happenings..

I seem to be getting worse and worse about blogging! (sorry Aunt Mel). Tons of pictures in no particular order-when I have a bunch to upload I get confused in what order to do them. So, they are very random!
After 5 wonderful weeks at home for Christmas vacation- he had to go back to U of A :(
Michael rides this scooter to get to all of his classes. Nothing but HILLS on campus.
This is where Michael lives. He lives in the fraternity house (Lambda Chi)
While Michael was home, we took a trip to Fayetteville and went to a Razorback game. We love our "hogs".
I turned 46 this month! We celebrated in Branson at Joe's Crab Shack. Delicious!
Michael got to attend several of Jacob's basketball games while he was home. Jacob was thrilled.


We had some snow while Michael was home, wasn' t much..but got a few snow pictures.
Jacob loves eating snow...

Always wanting to hit someone with a snowball...
Brothers...
Our snow day TODAY- sledding....


Jacob measured the snow...we had 3 inches...

Christmas Time..

Been awhile since I've made a post. Have been so crazy busy. School, basketball games, shopping, LIFE. Michael made it home December 19. He will be home for a month! And I am so happy! We made our annual visit to Silver Dollar City last week. We all LOVE going to SDC.
It was a gorgeous night!

My guys..
Momma and her boys...
Riding the train..I love riding the train..
Waiting for a show to begin..
Love him...
The family...
Made our gingerbread houses. So glad that my boys will still entertain me doing this..I know my days are numbered...
This is the first year they absolutely refused to sit on Santa's lap. (SAD) So I talked them into this picture...once again, what good sports they are...
My folks...spent Christmas day with them...
Roger's family...they came up the day after Christmas.
Happy New Year to all!

Already November..

WOW- can you believe it is already November? I'm super excited about November. Michael will be home for Thanksgiving and get to stay longer than a weekend! I can't wait!!
Homecoming was last Friday night. We always have a homecoming parade-
Jacob riding on the Jr boys/girls basketball "boat"- some of the kids see how hard they can throw the candy. I'm always afraid someone is going to break my lens!
The Jr. boys weren't on the schedule to play at Homecoming, but on Thursday evening they discovered they got to play. Jacob was SUPER pumped.
He had an outstanding game. Several 3 points shots. He had a total of 9 points! :)
We got up early Saturday morning and headed to Little Rock to play in the Fall Fest soccer tournament. I can't even remember how many years we have played in this tournament...Michael's team use to always play in it. How tradition continues.....we were short soccer players, didn't win any games, but the boys gave it all they had. Roger and Bill Butcher are their coaches- and might I say-are so much more mature than some of the other coaches! The boys are lucky to have them!
Can he look any more like Michael? Has the same love for soccer as he does too!
Good job this weekend Jacob - we are proud of you!
