basketball season ...

Brady starts basketball tonight. They have been practicing for weeks now. He's only a freshman but hopefully will get some playing time. I love basketball and it was my sport when growing up. Spent many, many years training to get in shape, morning practice, after school practice and I was so in love with the game. Boys are use to playing football so basketball is a fit. But for girls who play basketball I love this.... "Unless you're willing to play some football, don't go our for basketball." Amen.

coffee....it's good black

Something I thought I'd never ever try just black. But did and hey it's good. It still does the trick of waking me up. I use to put loads of sugar in it with all the flavored cream and realized how much junk that was daily going into my body just from 1cup! Yuck! I was raised to not take care of myself and now finding out it's a must! A must if you want to feel good. Look good. Have energy (and not the 5 hour energy they sell to you in a bottle) Why do we keep creating an unhealthy way of living. Chemicals and sugar in everything these days and then we wonder why we can't remain focused....I've been introducing new healthy foods that my body just is not use too and after awhile you start craving them. Almost like you crave that hot fudge sundae. Lately I'm craving pumpkin seeds and my coffee black. If the saying "you are what you eat" is right then I must be a pile of sugar:) I need to rid myself of all that. It's unhealthy and it's a sin and it's God's temple that I should be willing/able to take care of. The weather here is -4 degrees. Brrrrr..... Drink that coffee and keep warm. Another positive note is you'll be saving a chunk of change if you rid yourself of the daily drive up to Starbucks. Man are they expensive for a little cup full of sugar.

Fifteen~

Well Today my baby is 15! It's hard to believe that the first time I laid my eyes on him was that long ago. We want our kids to grow and get excited when they are the age that they can finally walk, talk, play sports but then a part of us wants them to stay young forever!

Brady with his big sis. He loved his shades even if he put them on upside down. :)

 

Brady at preschool swinging. He loved growing into a big guy and being able to go to school.

Brady now with his big sis, now a 6' 1" freshmen. Loves ALL sports and plays them all.

 

So happy God gave me Brady as my son. He has the best sense of humor and attitude towards everything. He's calm when I am not:) He is complete joy to our family. Not sure he still feels the same about school as he once did as a preschooler.....now he looks forward to days off from school. Happy 15th Birthday Charles "Brady" Roberts!!!!!! So proud of you.
