While we teach our children all about life....our children teach us what life is all about ~Angela Schwindt




*and yes...those are my big teenage boys sprinkled here and there IN THE KIDDIE PLAYGROUND AREA'S.....Lord I love them...




giggling...it does a soul good....

if you ever find yourself in a bad mood...spend time with children...they can show you how to live....

how to enjoy life...little moments, big moments....doesnt matter...

to laugh with total abandon...not worrying about how you look or what anyone thinks of you

to just...enjoy...and just be

to run head long into life and not be scared of what is on the other side...

*Ms AvaRae's birthday is tomorrow but her birthday party was on Sunday. Happy birthday sweetie...

I'm such a dork....HUGE highlight of the evening....teammate grabs the rebound on defense...hustles down court for the fast break...I'm sitting behind the goal and I can tell....I can tell...he's going to do it...he's going to try for a dunk....i am totally messmerized by him...so messmerized that I didnt pan the camera with him...and I did not get the dunk. BUT I ddid get his team mate cheering him on.....

A day at the court....well a day a few days ago...well...maybe a few weeks ago since we have had nothing but rain for the past 40 days and 40 nights...okay...not that bad but you get the jist...


that's Jalil on the far right with the black shirt and black shoes...Lacey, Okoye's, girlfriend is playing too....gotta love those tough tomboy girls....she jammed her finger playing and was a champ when they pulled it...better than i would have ever done...



Two of Okoye's friends playing on the Youngin' team....

That's Okoye on the left with the tank with the strips on them...Jalil is next to him...almost like he's running away....

Yes, Okoye and Jalil was on opposite teams and played against each other. Its fun to watch because they know each others moves....AND they cant trash talk on the other's mama since ..well...they have the same mama and mama would have their boooTAY"S if they so much as talked about someone else's mother...

just a child who kept jumping into my shots everytime I had my camera up....

LOVE LOVE LUV'S the sky here....

My baby....Jalil

Okoye's friend...
