Go Lando!

Landon is playing in the Texas State Home School basketball tournament this weekend.  They are in the 10 and under category which means that they are playing some 11 year olds that were 10 before a certain date.  Almost their entire team is 8 or 9 so they are much younger and smaller than the other teams but they never quit.  These little guys have huge hearts.  Landon has learned so much this year playing with this team.  He even scored a basket tonight and has been playing great.  This team is great and has such a great attitude.  Their coach is very positive and encouraging and a great coach as well.  Landon has been really stepping it up. We are so proud of you buddy!

Good bye dear friends.

This week we said good bye to some of our dearest friends.  I met Alison when I was 8 months pregnant with our first born a little over 9 years ago.  We were both due the same week.  Landon and Jenna have been friends ever since and so have our 2 families.  Alison and I have enjoyed playing soccer together, (she's an awesome forward.  We have been home schooling together for the past 7 years along with our other crazy home school buds.  I have enjoyed getting to grow together through reading the entire Bible with her and discussing it every week for a year.  She is always ready to do something spontaneous and will always be the last to leave any party (which I love about her).  She is totally unpredictable and that really makes me laugh.  She is very transparent and real and is so much fun to be around.  Her husband Ethan has spurred on great conversation and thought for the men in our fellowship and has truly been a Godly influence to challenge the way his friends lead and raise their families.  They have 5 adorable kids which we will all miss.  Instead of saying goodbye, I have decided to say see you later.  I know that they are lifetime friends and it will be fun to keep in touch with them and visit them on their farm.  We love you guys and know God has great plans for your future.  Here are some pics from our week. 

Kelly with the basket!
