Football & Cheerleading

This last weekend was a busy one with Sat. morning starting with football and cheerleading and then heading towards Hillsboro to meet up with the bikers that I mentioned in my last post. Here are a few pics of Cal and Cameryn at their first game of the season. Cal's team name is the Lobos and Cameryn's cheer squad is the Angel's. (As I am typing that I question what word to use.... should I use "is" or "are" when naming the teams? It's only one team, so that tells me "is", but there are many on the team, so that tells me "are"...an English major I am not!)

Even though it's a busy time of the year, we always enjoy watching our kids compete and learn new skills. It's a fun time of cheering for our kids!

Be blessed today!

This weekend was an adventure for our family and the ones that we spent time with. As I've mentioned in a previous post, Darrell is training for a 600 mile ride in Oct and this weekend was a "test ride" of ONLY 120 miles. Ron Holland, Darrell Crow (DC), Mike Bell and my Darrell (DP) started Sat morning around 9:00 in Covington and headed toward Mexia! The kids and I met up with them around noon at the DQ in Hubbard (30+ miles into the ride). The rest of the day was busy with big hills, flat tires, leg cramps, over heating, andl being just plain tired. It sounds like it was a rough afternoon, but actually they finished the day strong! We landed in Mexia around 5:00-5:30 and decided on the Triangle Motel (a step up from the Economy Inn)! That's another post!
Here are a few pics that I will try to put captions with, but if no captions, just make up your own story!

This is a combination of day one and two....I'll let you decide which pics go with each day! (Sorry about the dupes in the collages....technical difficulty!)

Can you find Mike Bell's biggest fan!?

These were all their spare tires!

This was my favorite view of all!

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength!

I'm so proud of these guys and especially DP! He is very determined to accomplish this goal and we are trying everything we can to support him!
