Manor 4-H Shooting Sports Tournament

Saturday was the 4-H Shooting Sports Tournament in Manor, Texas. It was extremely windy, but everyone did ok. Hunter was not pleased with his archery results, though. His score ended up being pretty low compared to the high score he had at practice on Friday. He was very disappointed. We are very proud of him for working so hard amidst the tough weather situation. The wind was actually blowing at about 30 mph in from the side of the range. It was a tough meet, but also a learning experience. Hunter learned how to compensate for the wind a lot more. He says he is really looking forward to the next meet this coming weekend--it is an indoor meet. lol

Crazy Busy!

I know being busy is not necessarily a good thing, but when you are the mom, sometimes you don't have a choice--especially if you have more than 1 child. I don't know how anybody with more than 2 kids raises them and lets them do anything extra-curricular. I know of a couple of families that have 4 kids and each kid gets to play some sort of sport. Crazy busy!! The mom in those families also doesn't work. Hmmm....
Anyway, I have been lax in posting because I have been crazy busy (my new term for life these days!). I'll let you in on what is going onaround here-at least the things that I have something to do with....whether it is driving, making, watching or actually participating.
1. Seth is taking midterms this week and I am trying to make life more simple for him so he can study and write his papers, sort of.
2. Church activities....Sunday A.M. and P.M., and Wednesday evenings
3. I am the VBS Director again this year......so I am planning VBS right now.
4. Jordan plays basketball right now....practices, many games, etc.
5. Hunter is competing in archery right now....practices and a tournament this weekend and one in a couple of weeks.
6. Jordan is trying out for cheerleader. Tryouts are next week and we have had meetings this week applying to that.
7. Housework? Supper? Grocery Shopping? Paying bills? That fits in there somewhere, I'm sure.
8. OH! I joined the gym, so I workout 5 days a week. I really need to workout and I paid extra for a month of a personal trainer's expertise, so I'm going!
9. Work for me is so busy with me out in the field all day doing appraisals before the March 31 deadline. Yikes! I am fixin' to have to start working in the evenings to get done....rrrrrrr!
10. I am also trying to find time to make a Davy Crockett costume for Hunter for his class report he is doing in a couple of weeks.
11. Hunter had an eye appointment yesterday.
Does anyone feel sorry for me, yet? I am not complaining at all. Really. I just don't have a lot of me-time to get on here and update my blog. You should see my desk in my office at work. lol
Crazy busy.......that's what I call it! God Bless you all. :)

Basketball Tournaments have begun!

Jordan has played on a basketball tournament team since she was in 1st grade. This year, as a 6th grader, will be her last year to play. Next year, she will play for the school in 7th grade basketball. It has been an interesting ride to say the least, but a memorable one. She has grown so much in the sport and has become a pretty good player. I know I am biased, but she is really fun to watch! Really!
Anyway, we kicked off with the Brownwood tournament last week. The team didn't place, but did a fantastic job. Nobody got hurt--which is always a bonus--and they won 2 out of the 4 games they played. Pretty good start in my book. This week, we play the Bangs tournament. Actually, we have a tournament every week until April 4. Good times....lots of traveling. We love it. Hunter is also getting ready for 2 archery tournaments coming up in March. 'Tis the season! Pray for our sanity and that we will have the down-time that we need. Love you all!
