"My House is a Wreck!"

Hi! I am Elizabeth. Things have been happening pretty fast in my life! I
just married Mr. Right, became a stepmother to two fabulous kiddos, and had a
new baby- all in the last year and a half! Add a couple of moves and my 36th
birthday in there and you will understand why I am feeling the need to record
this crazy stage of our lives! At least now I can come back and read about it
someday- I know I won't remember! Oh, and keep in mind that I while I am posting
the good memories and high points of our daily life- my house really is a wreck!

The Methodists vs. The Baptists

No, this post is not about weighing the doctrines of the Baptist Church against those of the Methodist Church!  Sorry to disappoint, but this is WAY more fun!  Church League Basketball!!  Both Pax and Syd have been playing on the Methodist teams this winter, and this past weekend was the HIGHLY COMPETITIVE tournament! This event brings out droves of people- even if they don't have children competing! 

Sydney was the only girl on her team this year, and she was so good!  Sadly, Sydney's team lost on Friday night.  But, they had improved so much from the first few games.  Sydney is highly competitive, and she did tune up and cry over the defeat.  What do you say?  I told her it was supposed to be fun and that she had done her best.  That is when she began to cry harder and said that "we NEVER won a game all year!"  OK, so maybe she has a point.  I let her chose where we would have dinner and we managed to move on.
Telling the Ref and the Coach all about it!!

MeMe didn't miss a game!  She was so proud to see Sydney's trophy, and she EVEN cheered for the Methodist's if they were playing against her own Baptist Church team! 
John Stephen was a trooper on Saturday night!  Paxton's team won after SIX OVERTIMES!  It was so exciting!  Everyone was cheering- you would have thought we were in Barnhill Arena cheering on the Hogs! 
So here they are- the CHAMPIONS!
Last year we lost the tournament to the Baptist's so this year the boys were going in to win!  What a fun way for the churches to come together. 

Now it is time for the REALLY competitive stuff!  Baseball.  Paxton LOVES baseball!  And it is gearing up right now!  There was a tournament this past weekend that got rained out, but the weather looks like it is going to cooperate for the coming weekend.  And we will be ready!  Paxton has been going to regular practices, as well as taking a few private lessons from a pitching coach.  This family takes their sports SERIOUSLY!  It has surprised me how much I love these sporting events- especially the baseball games! Who would've thunk it? 

I'll be back soon with signs of spring around here!! Hope you feel like a Champion today!!
