February/March


I'm going to combine February and March happenings that I want to remember....... those months are already becoming a little blurry so I better hurry up and get them documented!  

So, in no particular order.....


Except this first one...we celebrated my birthday on Feb. 1st.  I laid on the couch all day not feeling well.  So, we actually didn't do too much celebrating....we ordered subs out, I had a slice of cheesecake and I was with my two favorite guys so all is good. ;)



Brady got his brace off and got back to the tennis court.



We had a couple of snow days.




We went to watch many high school basketball games...
which meant lots of trips to McDonald's and lots of driving 
friends home after the games.



Our neighbor had a Chinese New Year party....lots of great food, a photo booth and fireworks.  We really had a fun evening.  Her party happened to be on Super Bowl evening...and I must say that my husband is such a trooper.  He dvr'd the game and watched it later that night...not once complaining.  One of the many reason I am lucky to be married to him. :)




We've been in our home almost eleven years...and we finally
have curtains in the dining room for the first time!  I think they need to be a little longer...but whatever.  We're not too picky over here.  It really does make the room feel more put together.





Hanging the curtains motivated me to put a few other things 
on the wall.  I don't make decisions very quickly or easily when it comes to decorating...but when I saw the cow print at Home Goods, I wanted it right away.  We tease Brady that we bought the picture to remind him not to "chew like a cow."




We kind of like chicken wings around here!  And I'm sad to say we ate almost all of those!




We celebrated Eric's birthday.  I made his favorite (like I do every year on his birthday) biscuits and gravy.




We had an unseasonably warm Saturday and went on a big
hike.  We found a place we had never been to before...and other than my brief panic attack over a very small snake...it was a much enjoyed afternoon.  It's amazing what some fresh air and exercise can do for ones cooped up (over the winter) spirit.




Eric began his tenth season as the high school tennis coach.
(five years with the boys and five with the girls)
He had a record high 17 guys on the team this year and so 
Brady was his assistant and helped with every practice.
Eric says that Brady does a great job and the guys all jump at the chance to work with him.  I have a feeling Brady is going to be an awesome coach one day.




Brady made me this beautiful cutting board in wood shop.
I love it so much and want to figure out how to display it in my kitchen.  Brady doesn't understand why I don't want to "use" it.  It's kind of been an ongoing disagreement...I tell him I want to keep it forever and don't want to ruin it...and he tells me he made it for me to use and that's what it's for.  




We celebrated Brady's 13th birthday.  I talked about it here.
He always looks forward to his kit kat cake!




Brady played in and won his first tournament back after being out for awhile.  He had some tough matches to get through...but he's a fighter out there.  Interestingly, when Brady played his first ever tournament five and a half years ago, this was the boy he played against and lost.  The boy was older and bigger and better...and Brady didn't win a single game.  But, Brady came off the court with a big smile on his face and wondered when he could do it all again.
This time....on this day...the outcome was a little different.




Eric and I attended Brady's conference at the middle school.
(It appears that we were the only ones there!)
It was a great conference....the teachers all said similar things- Brady's a leader and helpful to others, he learns easily and he always participates.  And then four out of the five teachers said he is a bit "social."  (And, we all know what that means!)
But, the most important thing I heard was that Brady is respectful and he comes to class everyday with a smile on his face.  That is good enough for me :)



And last but not least...we celebrated Easter.



Congrats if you made it all the way through this long post!

I need to learn to do shorter posts more often...that is the key.
I'm a work in progress!

What a nice, long post! I loved it! Your Eric is a lot like my Greg. I get a kick out of that! I wonder, should I ask for Brady's autograph now, or wait til he gets to Wimbledon? Did I spell that right? He truly is a special young man. But you already know that!
I love the curtains! And the cow.
Hugs,
Kris

I'm so excited to share my testimonies about the Good Work of  Dr.Anuge who got me cured from herpes simplex virus (HSV1&2) with his herbs, I never thought that I would live on earth before the year runs out. I have been suffering from herpes, I had spent a lot of money going from one Hospital to another looking for a way to get rid of this disease, the hospital has been my home everyday residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this fateful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how @Dr_anuge7 helped someone in curing his herpes disease using his healing Herbs, quickly I copied his email just to give him a test I spoke to him, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, after I received his herbs and I took it as instructed. I was cured permanently from herpes. My herpes disease was gone. so I decided to share my testimony, that nothing is impossible with God, God used a man to heal me. No matter what you are passing through, no matter how deadly the sickness is and no matter what the situation is God that did mine is still going to do yours, people suffering from herpes, brain tumor, kidney disease, pcos, AIDS, ALS,copd, asthma, arthritis,herpes, Cancer,Hpv, any kind of disease, you can reach him now via Gmail address: dranuge@gmail.com or whatsapp  +2348164866838
