Merry Christmas

How Blessed We Are...
We hope that each of you are doing well and enjoying life. Rather that mailing cards this year, I opted to send this newsletter for many reasons: time, lots of photos, and just so much good news to share! We are settling in our new lives here in College Station and have affirmations each and every day that we made the right decision to move here. How Blessed We Are!
COUGAR PRIDE...
Although it was tough leaving so many behind, we are thankful to have our new family of basketball players! There is not enough room to tell you how awesome these kids have been. They are hard workers, disciplined, and love the game. We are thankful we have so many good role models for our boys. Some games it is just hard to believe they are only freshmen and sophomores! Below is the picture we took for our card, however, the silly picture following is my favorite. Thank you, Cougars for a great start to the season.
Road Trips...
The Cougars were able to make two big road trips so far. One was to Sam Houston State University where the Regional Tournament for our classification will be held. We played Coldspring that night and the head coach there was JD's player 18 years ago. Wow, we are old. JD was thrilled to play there since he is a Bearkat!
New Scenery...
Let's just say this road trip to the Toyota Center in Houston was nothing like the roadtrips we have been used to in Texoma! Our team there did play at the American Airlines Center one time before a Mavericks game, but this one was so close to home!
400th Victory for Coach Sullivan...
This was after the win over Hempstead. The Cougars earned Coach Sullivan his 400th career victory! Thanks, Cougars..........and Congratulations, Babe!
The Sweetest Boys Ever...
JD and I are blessed most of all to have these two fellas in our lives! Jackson's dry sense of humor (hmmm, wonder where he gets it) and Jace's constant entertainment (I really don't know where he gets that) keep us laughing. Jace turned 5 in August and Jackson turned 9 in September. Jace goes to preschool at First Baptist and Jackon is in thrid grade at Greens Prairie Elementary.
Busy Fall...
Both boys played fall baseball all the way through November. They are signed up to play basketball after Christmas. Jackson made us proud by representing his class in the school spelling bee. He was so brave getting up in front of the entire school! He also made the UIL spelling team that will compete in January. Both boys have made lots of friends and have settled in nicely.
IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE A COUGAR!!!!
WHOOP!
BIRTHDAYS!!!
Jace turned 5 in August and Jackson turned 9 in September. Jace goes to preschool at First Baptist and Jackon is in thrid grade at Greens Prairie Elementary. Both schools are amazing and they are learning so much! We are lucky to have both places for our boys to learn and grow.
SUMMER...
This is my favorite picture of Jace from this summer.
MOVING>>>>>>>>>it's for the birds!!!
I absolutely love everything about our move, but the actual process! It was worth all of the time and hard work, but getting the kitchen unpacked took about 3 days.
........stress???.............what's that???
Jace didn't seem phased by the move. It was like a vacation, but we get to stay! We got spoiled going to our neighborhood pool each day. We just loaded up the wagon and two blocks later we got to soak up the sun!
BEACH...
My wonderful mom and aunt took us all to Galveston for a long weekend at Pointe West rather than our annual trip to Colorado because of our move. It was much needed relaxation and no boxes to unpack for a few days!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
