Jacob is just a little stiff...

life is going on...

A year ago today we spent the day in OKC, Caleb had tests ran pretty much all day. Today was spent getting ready for Jacob's first date. They are just friends but it was a date none the less. This morning Jacob had rehearsal for promenade and then after I picked him up we went and got Sarah's corsage, grabbed him something for lunch and left him at the shop with Scott and Daniel so they could clean Daniel's truck up because he was the one taking them to the dance this evening. We met Jacob and Daniel, Jess and Darrin and D.J. at Sarah's for pictures then Daniel took them to Chili's for dinner before the dance. We all ( us parents) met at El Patio for dinner, then off to Hutchin's for the promenade and more pictures. I can't believe he is nearly 16 and will be really dating soon! And driving, alone! I told Scott tonight that a year ago I would have told you that I am ready for them to be grown and out on their own, not so now. Now I want to hold them close and never let them go. OH! In between those things today, I babysat for a couple of hours for Grace and Colt. I told Grace it seemed like yesterday that she was a baby! I called her a young lady and she said "I'm not a lady!" I said "no? You're a little girl? and she said yes". I got hug goodbye from Colt without having to steal it, he came over and turned his little cheek up for loves! Oh boy did my heart melt!!! In case you didn't know it, I have perfect grandchildren, they are beautiful, as are their parents and uncles! I have to go for now, have to go pick up the kid's from the dance. I will post pic's as soon as I get the chance.

this one got left out... can't tell he's nervous at all, huh?

some more of Caleb's special night...

Coaches vs cancer

Jan. 22nd was coaches vs cancer and Caleb was honored at the high school basketball game. He was honorary coach for the night and sat on the bench with the team, he got to go through the "tunnel" and stand mid court and receive a ball signed by all the varsity boys and girls. He was very nervous about doing this but by the time the night actually got here he was pretty excited and I think he did really well!
