Brooke travels to Virginia

Brooke was able to go to Virginia this past week to see her husband. Since the wedding in Oct. they have seen each other three times. (You know how military life goes) Anyway he is a Marine and will soon be done in Virginia and then Brooke and him will move together wherever his next assignment takes them. I must say it's hard to let your baby girl travel the world alone to meet up with her husband. But she loves it. This mom is stressing though. I'm sure she's over annoyed when I constantly text her to let us know when her flights leave, land, etc.

Warning: Basketball picture overload....

Brady and his team have had an in creditable season this far. And tomorrow is a very important game for the Hershey Panthers.  Hershey won SPVA this year which hasn't happened in awhile and they had an undefeated season at home. (which has never happened in school history) I wanted to share some of Brady an his team in action over the past several months since basketball season.

Memories from a photo ten years ago.....

I came across this picture today when I was going through things.

(I'm starting to go through things getting ready for my sons high school graduation in May)

This picture feels like it was just yesterday. It was when my husband was in Iraq for 15 months and the kids and I where tackling life back home.

This night we were invited over to one of my friends house for dinner. We laughed ALOT!

We played a lot. One of the things Brady loved when his dad was gone is when I dropped everything and said "hey buddy, you want to go catch a football" His eyes would get big and he'd say with an excited voice "let me go get my football, mom" We'd spend hours in the yard making touchdown passes (of course cause I have a pretty good arm :) ) Brooke would join in too trying to catch and stop her brother. We'd even do the famous touchdown dance.

It's so funny how a picture takes you back to those days and what was going on in life. This was a fun time even though we were going through some stressful situations.

We are in the playoffs tomorrow for football and then we'll be headed straight into basketball season.

Brady's senior year is almost half over already.
