Yeah, Yeah, so it's been a while!!!

Well, we are off and running with another school year, and I haven't blogged in FOREVER!!! Over the summer, Jada and Jennika played with a select softball team, Grip and Rip, and they won all but one tournament (they got 2nd). My baby boy turned four on June 2 (the last day of school)! I simply cannot believe that my baby is not a baby anymore...next year he will be in kindergarten!!! Jordan is an awesome kid, just like his sisters. He is playing football (flag) this year for the Cowboys, and he is going to be the running back. He already knows how to find the hole and explode through it!!! I know I'm his mom, but he is REALLY GOOD!!! Jordan is smart, silly, and loveable. He still likes to cuddle with his momma, and I hope that never goes away! He loves his sisters, sports, and super heroes! He is my baby boy...love him so much!!! Jennika had a birthday on June 9, turning 7. We celebrated both of my June baby's birthdays at A.T. and Maw Maw's lake house swimming. It was a fun day! Jennika Ann is growing up to be a lovely little lady. She is beautiful, athletic, and smart. She just started the second grade, and was so excited to get back into the swing of things! Jennika loves soccer, softball, and basketball, and will spend a lot of her time juggling them. She did awesome playing with all the older girls on Grip and Rip, and will play without her sister for the first time on her very own U8 team this fall. She makes her momma proud! Jada is in the fourth grade (one of my favorite years)!!! She did awesome this summer playing softball, and we are searching for a voice coach for her this year. She wants to be a singer, and I know she'll make a good one!

February and March

I apologize for not posting any recent pictures...I have lost the cord that connects to the computer, so when I find it, you can expect an explosion of photos! February brought the end of basketball season for the Willis family! All three of the kiddos had successful seasons, and Jada (who is the only one in a competitive league) and the Fever ended the season in first place!!! February also brought on the beginning of track season for both me and Randy! I am coaching 7th/8th boys and girls long jump, while Randy continues to coach long and triple jump for McMurry. March brings on the beginning of softball season!!! We LOVE softball season! The girls are on a very young U8 team (Jada is the oldest), and they are definitely the leaders of the squad! Randy is the pitcher again this year, and we are excited to get things going! So far the Blitz are 2-0!!! March also brought with it JADA'S 9TH BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! My oldest is in her final year in single digits! A party at the Skatin' Place and a birthday supper at Red Lobster (her choice) set off the celebration! Jada is growing up so fast! She still does well in school, although the introduction of some new concepts in the 3rd grade have broken her straight A record...but she still makes me proud! She still LOVES to sing and tell imaginative stories. I see an attitude coming out that needs to be tamed before the teenage years approach, but she is still easy to talk to and is very wise for her years. I love her dearly and cannot believe the years are passing so quickly! What a beautiful, smart, talented young lady I have been blessed with!

The holidays have come and gone...

...and I've forgotten to blog about them!!! Well, I didn't actually forget, but we have been SUPER busy (as usual), so the blog has taken a backseat. The holidays were wonderful to us all, and we were all thankful for a break from work and school! I will do a picture post soon with some of the highlights! Basketball season is in full swing around here! All three brown-eyed beauties are playing this year, so our Saturdays are taken up! I am also coaching the 7th grade
B & C teams, and Randy is already coaching indoor track. Jordan's team is the Nuggets (YMCA), and he is the best shooter on the team. I have to remind myself that he is only 3 and that he is not SUPPOSED to know how to play the game! He is very fun to watch! Jennika is playing for the Lady Coogs (Upward) and is proving herself as a skilled dribbler and shooter! She is also a heck of a defensive player who does not allow her girl to catch the ball! Jada is playing for The Fever (AYBA), and they have only lost one game! She is on the starting 5 and is one of the team's strongest rebounders and best defensive players! SO, as soon as I can sit down to breath and upload some pictures, I will give you all a glimpse of what we have been up to!
