A special letter

Brant had the mail man come to his school and talk all about the post office.  He learned all about mailing a letter.  Then, he got to make us a Christmas card and actually mail it.  He was very very excited about mailing us this letter.  He even told Mere that he had a surprise for his mommy and daddy and took her in the other room to tell her what it was.  When we went to get the mail the next day, he about had a heart attack.  He was so happy of his letter he mailed us.

Where is baby Jesus?

Brant had a Preschool Christmas Musical at school.  He had a line in the play, and he said, "Here is another shepherd." Brant is not one to be in the lime light, so he was on the back row for the performance.  He stood there with his arms crossed the entire time.  It was funny.  He just did not want to dance in front of everyone.  I love him so much, he just makes me smile.

John Tyler

Billy's team was picked to lose to John Tyler.  However, our Bearcats came out fighting and ended up just smashing the Lions.  It was such a great game.  We took Slade's best friend Cayden to the game with us, and they had a great time. They love to get on the field at the end of the game and play catch.  After our big win, we went and ate at Rio Mambo. The boys got a little silly. It was such a great day!

All I want for Christmas

Slade and Brant created a Christmas wish list for us so that we could use it when we went shopping. Brant of course could not write so we wrote it for him. We love how Slade wrote wrestling. 

Look a likes

We were sending Nana a letter for Christmas and the boys put their school pictures inside it. Then we got Billy's school pictures and we noticed that Brant and Billy had on the same color shirts and they had the exact same smile. It was too funny. It looked like a little miniature Billy. And Slade school picture looks like he has red hair like his daddy.

State 2014

Aledo won state again! We beat Temple 49-45!!! 

We had just such a great day. We left at 9 o'clock in the morning and got to the stadium at 10. I need to tell myself to calm down because I just could've got out of the car and looked at the stadium to see where the entrance was. But I was so nervous that I walked the entire distance around the stadium carrying Brant. When we got to the entrance we had to wait about 20 minutes In the cold and drizzle. The other team Temple, had lots of fans outside the stadium and they were all loud and shouting that they were going to beat us. When they finally opened the doors I had my mom walk with the boys and I hightailed it in to the stadium. I went to the Aledo side and found seats on the 40 yard line. Last year I remembered that you could take a picture and then tweet it with the hash tag #uilsate, and you had a chance that they would post your picture on the Jumbotron. Well this year the boys got their picture on the Jumbotron. I sent out a crazy picture with them making funny faces and it made the big spot on the Jumbotron. They were so excited. At the end of the game we tried to get down on the field because we had passes but the fourth quarter was so nerve-racking that we did not make it down on the field in time. The workers were not nice and kept on telling me we waited too late. We finally found an elevator that went down to the field and made it late but at least we got to take a picture with Billy. He was so mad that they weren't letting us on the field that he threw a fit to some of the workers. Go Aledo!!!
