Puppies,Blind Side,Grayson and Basketball

Well Lizzie had her puppies! Last firday the 28th we went to Chili's with Mady and a few of her friends. I left to get Brad from Tressa's mom and Mady called me and said she had her puppies. Lizzie was on couch and a puppy was in one of my slippers. They put her in her pool and she had 4 more. Her litter was only 5 puppies. 3 girls and 2 boys. We are gonna keep one of the blonde girls. the kids have named her Daisy. Three of them are blonde. They look pretty cool. The kids have been great help and they are really excited. We took them to the vet and she said everything was fine. We will not breed Lizzie again. The vet said it would be a risk. So later this year we will have her spade and she can relax for the rest of her life. The puppies are very cute the only bad part is that Tres seems to think that the one we are keeping is the one that whines the most.Brad has been playing basketball and he is doing pretty good. His team is not that good but he seems like he is doing good and enjoying the games. He is so competitive and hates to lose so he gets down we the team is not successful. The first game was the toughest. We lost in overtime and he really took it hard. I am coaching hime just like I did Mady so i can get them as ready as I can for 7th grade tryouts. I would feel guilty if they tried out for basketball and I didn't help them get prepared.I went to the TCEA conference in Austin for a week. I stopped at Grayson's and spent the night. We talked about football and and where his son Gavin is going to college and then the next morning we drove around a fed cow's and he showed me his new tractor. It has a sun roof in it and he says he likes it cause now he doesn's have to bend his head to see the high bails. He can just look the the roof. Had a good time driving around like the old days. When I got to Austin I hear Leighanne Touhy speak. She is the mother from the movie "The Blind Side" about Michael Oher. She did a super job and I bought her book and had her sign it. The conference was ok, I saw alot of cool tecnology stuff but not alot of people to hang out with.Baseball is about to start. that is probably Brad's least favorite sport. I need to do a better job of backing off and not getting onto him so much about baseball and his skill. He has been pitching for about 2 months now with Donnie Elliot. To me he seems to be doing pretty good. We will see if he continues to want to put in the effort to become a good pitcher. I don't think it is for everyone. They also want to make him a catcher. He really liked playing catcher last summer for the Rockhounds.Mady has been really enjoying basketball and is playing on the A team. She has a good shot but is pretty slow so it is tough for her to stay on the court when they go man to man or play a fast team. She has a good little crossover move and can go with her left hand. She was the FJH representative at the high school game for the free throw contest. She made 2 out of 5 but didn't win. She recently hurt her wrist and had to sit out a game. It was funny because when it first happened she had her hand in a sling and her wrist killed her and she could barely move it. When she had to sit on the bench the whole game she hated it. After the game she said she was ready to practice and get back on the court. She is in the middle of club volleyball. It is very busy and I hope she doesnt get too burned out on it. I am hoping she will hit a growth spurt and grow. She has the skills but she is small for her grade. She is having fun though in both sports and really enjoying 7th grade. I am very proud of both of them and look forward to watching alot more of their activities.We`have started watching the bachelor every monday night. I know it is a chick flick but I am addicted to it. I have also been watching hawaii 5-0. Work is going ok and the job and Wolter's has opened. I did not apply and I went and talked to Mr. Adair about where I fit in the district. It was a good visit and I jave a better idea of what he is looking for. I like south campus and hope I stay there though.Well that is enough for now, I am going to play cards in a Texas Hold em tournament tonight. Wish me luck.Ya'll be safe out there!![youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6DWHnd8BLw&feature=youtu.be]
