Runner's Club

At Slade's elementary school, they have a club called Runner's club. It is after school and the kids are preparing for a 5K. It was the first day, and it was too cold to go outside. So the PE teacher held it in the gym and we played games and did a few line dances. Brant went with me and we had a great time. Here are a few pictures of them doing the cotton eye Joe. They couldn't quite get it but it was fun.

Merry Christmas 2013

Merry Christmas 2013!!!

What a great Christmas! We won the state championship, broke a few national records, and Billy is now home for the holidays!! We have our traditions for Christmas and they start with church on Christmas Eve, followed by dinner and present opening at my parents.  We always have tamales, I made the taco soup this year.

The boys got bikes from my parents, WWE wrestlers, marker airbrush, and Spiderman stuff from the cousins. We had a special treat this year and the grand kids  read the Christmas story. Since Brant can't read, I told him what to say and he would repeat every few words.  

We came home around 10, and got ready for bed and waited for Santa to come. On our TV they had a Santa tracker and we knew he was getting close. When we went to bed he was over South Carolina. I don't know how they fell asleep, they were so excited.

Santa brought the boys Doggie Doo, and Domino rally. We got the boys Legos Nerf guns, hot wheels, bats and balls, tennis equipment, a few board games. They had a blast finding their presents and unwrapping them. About noon we got dressed and headed to my parents for lunch. After we ate, we went to Big Pop's house. Brant fell asleep in the car and we finally got him up by telling him he had a present to unwrap.  Big Pop got the boys Nerf Guns.
