Highlight NUMBER 1 from our trip

Our boys played basketball for HCYA the Houston Home school team. In case you might be thinking...a home school basketball team??? they have sports??? Oh I bet they are terrible...

To put this organization into perspective..My husband coached for a 4A private school for 6 years as head coach. His record....... 1 - 11. Sorry Honey!!!

So Casey and Brayden began their basketball career this year. The boys current 10 and under team have played together for 3 yrs so our boys and a few other young ones were put on a 12 and under. They worked hard but rarely saw the floor. Half way through the year they divided the team and made a 10 and under B team. We had 3 10 yr olds and 3 8 yr olds that had never played organized ball before. At this point David's season had ended so he was able to take the team and coach his own boys. This past week was the 20th annual National's tournament held in Missouri. So we loaded up the "truck" and headed to Springfield MO. And load we did..for 7 people for a 10 day trip....WOWZER!!!! We could barely see the boys heads by the time we were loaded up. We had so much stuff packed they were just heads sticking up over seats.
We left Friday evening and stayed with some good friends in Nacogdoches .. THANK YOU dear friends for the beds, breakfast and company late into Friday..I mean Saturday morning... LOL!

I am trying to break our trip into highlights, because i just don't have enough time to write about it all at once... so here you go. Number 1 highlight, being WAY too crowded in our car than 7 people should feel for a 13 hr trip....because I packed enough stuff for a family of 20....
but I wanted to be prepared. LOL





The boys excited about our first real family vacation!!!! HIP HIP HOOOORAH



This is called CRAZY bed head...
this was only the beginning...first nap we had to wake him from to get in the car..first of about 220 times over our trip. He took it like a Champ though. What a tough cookie #5 has to be....


Our boys playing with our friends kiddos...



Not one more thing is getting in that car...even if we tried really really hard!
