Thanksgiving

We had a busy, but very nice Thanksgiving. My brother, sister in law and niece and nephew are here from New Jersey.We have enjoyed getting to spend time with them this week. Tyler and Bailey have been so excited to spend lots of time with their cousins. We ate lunch at my mom's house with them and our friends who joined us this year. We had AWESOME food and great fellowship. We then headed over to my grandmother's house (MaMa) and spent some time there before heading over to Tim's grandmother's house.I have some pictures. Most from the last few days at my mom's and a couple from MaMa's house. I still have a hard time remembering to take pictures, but it seems that when I did remember Tim was always in the picture. We are so thankful for all our family and the opportunity to spend time with them each year. Thank goodness for holidays that force us to stop and spend time with each other.I hope everyone had a great holiday!

We are DONE!

It is official now! The Dolphins lost tonight to the Southside Steelers. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cold out there tonight. Our guys pretty much gave this game away. I don't know what it was. I guess they were too cold. Anyway... Its over. They have their banquet on Monday evening.

OR MAYBE NOT

We just received word that we are still in the playoffs. Apparently the other team played illegal players and had to forfeit their win. So..... the Dolphins play tomorrow night. I will keep you posted!

Season is over!

The dolphins played in the playoffs last night. but lost to the South Greenville Bulldogs. They were a little "bummed", but they fought hard to the end. I do not remember the score something like 37-13. These boys had a GREAT season and learned so much about football and each other. The coach told them last night, out of all the Eastside Dolphins teams only 2 made it to playoffs, and their team finished 2nd in their division,so they had a lot to be proud of. He told them to hold their heads up and they were going to walk off the field the same way they walked on to the field. He also commended them for being good students and all around good kids, not just good athletes.

For me, it was bittersweet (for lack of a better word), I would like to have seen them go further in the playoffs, but at the same time I was ready for the season to be over.

Maybe I will have more time for blogging now??? We will see??

Playoffs and ETC.

The Dolphins earned a spot in the playoffs after winning tonight against the Greer Lions 7-6. If they win the Championship, they will be invited to Virginia. Why? and what that means, I have no idea. That is just the information we received tonight. Personally traveling to VA seems a little extreme for 8 & 9 year olds to me but....? What do I know. I am not sure when the playoff games will be or where, but will keep you informed. You all were probably afraid of that weren't you. HA! Never fear football season will be over soon, and I can blog about Basketball.
Tyler and Bailey are both playing and PRAISE THE LORD!!!! they are on the same team!!
This will make life so much easier. Tyler is very excited. Bailey is still wrapped up in football. Neither one of them has spent a lot of time playing basketball so it should prove quite interesting.

Tapped out Tippy

On most Sundays after church we go to Tim's parents house for lunch. We usually take Tippy with us because they have a nice big backyard where he can run and play freely that he does not have at our apartments. Also, they love Tippy and are kind enough to keep him for us when we go out of town. Anyway.... each Sunday afternoon when we get back from Nanny and Papa's, Tippy is completely worn out. He is done for the day. I happened to catch a picture of him looking especially worn out from today.

Bailey's Birthday

This past Tuesday was Bailey's 9th Birthday. We celebrated as a family on Tuesday evening, and then had a simple,small party on Saturday with extended family and a few friends.

Dolphins

The dolphins pulled out a win tonight against My Father's House Wolverines (????). The score was 24-18. No Team in our division has been able to beat any team in their division this year, so this was a big win for our little guys. I say little because some of the guys on this team were HUGE!!! I was not there, but Tim said a couple of the boys were adult size. There is no weight limit for boys playing on the line. The weight limit for the other positions is 115 lbs. (I think, maybe a little more or less but...) Remember Bailey weighs54lbs.
They will play a makeup game Monday night against the Greer Lions. This will determine their placement in the playoffs.

Next up church basketball. Both Bailey and Tyler will be playing, and hopefully on the same team.

TFBC Fall Festival

Sunday afternoon our church held a Fall Festival for it's memebers as well as the community. The Lord blessed with beautiful weather. Here is a slide show of some random pictures when I could remember to grab my camera. It would be a sad,sad day if I had to make a living as a photographer. I always miss "the moment". Just not my gift. At least I am a tad bit better than I used to be.
