March Madness Ain't So Mad After All

March Madness is pretty maddening when basketball comes to an end. What a season! Emmie started for the Lady Cubs this year and played her heart out. Our team ended as District Champs and Regional Champs and made it to the Substate game at home with a huge crowd. We thought it was goin to go our way and we would have advanced to the State Tournament at MTSU where I also got to go my junior year. Unfortunately we lost and our season ended. I am so sad but thankful for a great season for them all. Also,  I am extra happy for her & don’t know why but it made me cry watching this little highlight video that was online. Emmie made 5 three's in a game and had 19 points. So proud of her & know she has to be over the moon to have had a great shooting night. This is mine & Nathan’s old high school gym… where I played 4 years as a Lady Cub. Pretty sure I never made a “3” but boy did I run up & down that court!
I also love hearing the SAME announcer that announced when I played say her name over & over when she scored! Love seeing our girl play basketball! #ladycubs #fullcircle She did get chosen as All District and got a trophy. So cool to be honored with this achievement. 

We certainly appreciated all the support from our family that last game and all the games!

Now that it is over... we have had some travel ball for Jensie, an old truck purchase by Noah, beautiful buttercups and supper at the table with my favorite husband and kids. 

March ain't so mad after all. It's Spring! Get ready for the flowers!

 

 

Loving Things In February

  Every month could be a "Loving" month because the pictures are of all the things and happening and people in this life that I love so dearly! These pictures posted in reverse for some reason... but they still tell the story of February. I love seeing my sis and getting to shop and lunch! It brings the color back in my face from the gray skies of January.  I always post something Valentines and this year was to no surprise.. Sweet Hubby telling me I was going to have the first bloomed buttercups around. He went and dug some up from the woods & dolled them up in a nice rusty bucket & brought them inside. I loved when they started to bloom and the perfect spot for them in our home because it gets the perfect sunlight in the afternoon. We did spend our Valentine's night getting hay for animals and making sure they all had water and food as it was coming a cold the next few days. So no pic of wining and dining. Just a headlamp and the moon and a trip to the hay barn for some hay. Loving every bit of it! Also,  Loving these times of our boys playing guitar together. This won't be the last pic I post of that because it's so hard not to take a pic every time they are singing and playing. I also posting some fun shots the girls playing basketball. They don't love these and their facial expressions... but I love it! Needle please....Jensie & her sweet friend did a little sewing on some sweatshirts. Jensie has a new love of Dutch Bros. & was a happy girl getting treated with that. And, Lastly the boys went skiing for the 2nd annual trip to NC and had a blast! It makes my heart so happy they do this!  They always come home with stories and laughs that I know they will talk about for years to come.
