A Few More Random Pictures

Here are a few more recent pics that I pulled from Nick's phone and that Deb sent to me from Florida.  I guess Gracie got ahold of her phone and kind of went picture happy.

Another picture of us on our way down.


 The past weekend was beautiful and after Nick got done with his marathon work week that ended late Saturday night, he was able to enjoy it with Gracie.  They played with horses for most of the day on Sunday.  Our landlord let them take Indee over to her place to work with her.  Unfortunately, Owen hasn't been feeling well and didn't get to enjoy Sunday or yesterday outside.  He hasn't wanted to eat anything and has had no interest in going outside to play.  Poor guy.  I hope he's feeling better today.  He has taken over our bed for the past two nights when he isn't laying on the couch.

The Blue and Gold Gala is this week!
All of the Tiger Den Scouts will advance to Wolves.  I made a cake to take to the Gala to celebrate!


I also made a big cookie for their den meeting tonight, but I'm afraid it might not happen because Owen is sick and the meeting is supposed to be at our house.  We'll see.  He's also supposed to go back to school today and have basketball practice.  Not sure if any of that is going to happen.

Here is a picture of Owen's Superman pinewood derby car.

This might be sufficient for awhile.  I think things will quiet down a little after this week.  Wrestling is pretty much done and Owen only has two more basketball games.  Gracie has a couple more after that and she is still going to softball once a week.  Gracie even got to go outside for softball on Saturday morning!  The winter sports are starting to wrap up at Mizzou and there are only a few more games/meets before tournament time.  I'm looking forward to baseball and softball starting, both for the kids and to go watch at Mizzou.  The weather here has been so warm, but I'm afraid it won't last.  It's easy to forget that it's February when there have been several 70 degree days in a row. It finally rained yesterday and this morning, which is why I'm up and not running right now.  I got up and ready to go, but it was still raining outside.  Guess I'll have to try later; or tomorrow.

Dreams and Goals Realized

  I have to start with this.  I have been hoping and waiting to post this for so long, and it is finally a reality for Gracie!  I'm sure that November 12 will be a day remembered for a very, very long time.  This fall has been such a roller coaster of emotions for all of us, revolving around Gracie's recruiting opportunities opening with D1 schools.  September 1 began the time of uncertainty, and navigating the past couple months has been challenging to say the least.  She has always known where she wants to be, but not sure if that goal would be her reality.  She has done everything she can to put herself in that place, and she finally got the call from Coach Anderson asking if she wanted to "officially be a tiger." I have never felt more impatient than the past 2 months, and we were told to enjoy the recruiting process...ugh. NO.  I know God has a plan, but sometimes it's so hard to be patient and wait for it to unfold.  Anticipation vs Anx...

Fall Fun

Homecoming 2024! Owen is looking pretty good all dressed up And Gracie is beautiful again. Look!  We match! Chase came over to "officially" ask her to homecoming the week before the dance. She was surprised and it was a success. Homecoming parade Owen looks a little bored. But Gracie is definitely having fun The whole weekend was beautiful, sunny, and warm.   Much better than last year during the parade. Chase picked Gracie up to go to Hartsburg for pics Owen wasn't quite ready yet. I love this pic of Gracie and Kate. This is a good one, too. Kind of crazy, 3rd homecoming together. With softball friends Chase, Gracie, Kate, and Pryce Lainie and Gracie More pics with Nova The junior class met down at the Katy Trail in Hartsburg again this year for pictures.  There were a lot of kids down there.  I thought that I got a pic of Brook in there, but I can't find it.  Then Chase and Gracie went out to eat at Chick Fil-A, of all places.  Then to the dance....

Gym Season!!!

Image
It is officially the season of sitting in gyms.  Basketball and wrestling are in full force, and we have 2 high school schedules going on.  Both kids have had their team pics taken and have each competed a handful of times.  Owen has had 2 tournaments and 2 duals and is wrestling varsity at 165 pounds.  It's not the weight that he expected to be at, but so far, he is doing ok.  He weighs in at just over 160 on a good day, so we are not having to worry about cutting/maintining weight at all.  At least not yet.  So, this is great!  The downside of this is that he is a freshman in a higher weight class, which means that he will most likely see a lot of juniors and seniors in his brackets. So far he is holding his own and getting better every day. Versailles tournament Last Saturday was spent in Versailles.  This was the most recent competition.  Owen did pretty well and placed 5th going 4-1 on the day.  I think there were 19 or 20 kids...
