Our Basketball Star

Peyton is playing basketball for a league here which is very well known UPWARD.. It is a christian league who teaches scripture and they do devotions every week.. Every player gets a award at the end of the game and it is a colored star like red is best defense, green best offense, white CHRISTlike and so on it is so cool!! It teaches good sportsmanship- which sometimes is not always seen like today. One of the players on the other team was just really a good example of what NOT to be.. It was unfortunate but, also good for the other players to see so they don't act like that~~~But anyway, Peyton has always been a good basketball player but today his true colors really came out... He scored 22 points in the game woo hooo.... He had lay ups, he had jump shots, he had block shots, he had 3 seconds remaining and just threw it and made it... He did so good and needless to say we are so PROUD of him.. We all had so much fun cheering for his team but the people that were watching definitely knew who Peyt's family was:)Baseball season has started as well so he is practicing 4 days a week for that and 1 for basketball and then 1 game a week for basketball.. Baseball season starts in March and Basketball is over the day it starts so we all have bittersweet feelings about that! Peyton has met some great kids and made some awesome friends on his basketball team but hopefully after basketball they will all stay in touch!! You just never know about Peyton you may just see him on the NBA one day.. He amazes us when it comes to sports, it just seems like whatever sport you ask him to do he is just a all around natural.. I wish I could say that for myself!!:) Anyway just needed to brag on our Peyt for a minute and of course we are very proud of our Phillip too~~ Stay tuned for the next brag session on Raising The Ray Boys:) xoxoxo to my boys!!!

Phillip's First Date xoxoxoxoxoxo

 

Ok Can I just tell you how old I feel tonight!! Phillip had his first date tonight and I just feel so old!! Wow! All the memories that came rushing back to my first date.. All week long I have been saying now do this and do that and don't forget to say this and say that and DO NOT DO this and he has just been like ok mom enough! and then Chuck I am sure has had his memories as well and since he is a guy he totally has different do this and do that...Phillip has been so excited since he asked her out and has text and talked everyday and so tonight was the night! He asked me after school if we could go and buy her flowers for the date and for Valentines Day so I said yeah sure, that is a sweet idea.. so off we go and I am going to tell you I was very impressed with him he knew that her dress was pink and brown so he found a bouquet of spring flowers and the name of it was pink and chocolate and he said he wanted that one:) yeah!! that was a proud momma moment! so we took them over and delivered them while she was not home because he wanted her to be surprised..lol love this moment as we are driving away here she comes with her Mom..:) Phillip was like awwww crap:) love it! as Peyt is saying busted busted!gotta love little brothers.So they were going to the Valentines dance at their school so her parents brought her over here so we could take pics and you should have seen his face when he saw her it was priceless.. he was like youuuuuuu loooookkkkk pretttttyyyy:) with a bright red face!(sweet baby) so we took 100000000 pics with my camera and her momma took that and much more, needless to say they both were like ok thats enough!We just couldn't help it, they were both so cute and just looked so cute together!SO they took off to the dance and had a great time and danced and hung out with their friends.. When I picked them up they were both smiling and laughing and told me story after story it was so cool just to see them having so much fun together.. They both were starving so I took them to Chick fil a and then now they are here at our house hanging out playing video games and watching t.v... They have the best time together and are such good friends which is such a blessing.. I can honestly say and Chuck and I talked about this we could not have picked a sweeter, cuter girl for Phillip.. She is one that knows what she wants and knows what is right and wrong and loves her Lord and is not afraid to tell you! She is precious and we just love her!!We are so thankful that God brought her into Phillip's life and into ours too.. Peyton has already said that if Phillip decides he just wants to be friends he wants her to be his girlfriend, he just loves her too!! We hope that she is around our house for a very long time!

Longest Stretch

I think this has to be the longest stretch that I have gone since I started blogging... So sorry, I am still around just seem to be crazy busy lately... I had decided before the New Year that I need to lose weight and get in shape... I am not going to be in my 40's and be fat and out of shape so I enrolled in a Boot Camp at the Gym, it is a 4 week , 5 days, 3hours long strenuous workout... honestly it is like the Biggest Loser.. We have to do things I never ever dreamed... Oh my goodness!! What am I thinking? I guess if I die theood thing is People will say " She was working out" "She was at the gym"lol.... that's good right? We have a few trainers, nutritionist, nurse(lol) that are all in our class. I am in a private class with 6 other people that I just love!!so it is nice that we all have each other to talk to and encourage one another and of course we Thank God for the nurse:)lol!!I love everyone who is in our group even our head trainer "OTIS" he is such a nice guy who wants the best for us and really makes us work for what we came in asking for!! I can tell you now, I confessed that I had a piece of king cake and one doughnut a few weeks ago and I promise you I will never want another one of those in a long long time... He told me it was ok to have those things in moderation but, my goal was to lose some weight and get in shape so we walked and then we jogged and we jogged some more and jogged some more until I thought I was going to throw up and die.. a total of 3 miles...uggggg I am not a runner.. but like I said I will never look at King Cake or a doughnut the same... After I caught my breath I said it wasn't even a jelly doughnut, I thought Otis would die laughing..lol ! So that is what I have been up to. On top of that I am leading a bible study and helping lead another one and then there is my boys.. Baseball has started and we are gone 4 days out of 7 and then we have basketball 2 days out of 7 ... So that is where I have been and I promise to be better at blogging on this blog! I started a new blog for my Bible study it is www.Defrazzle.blogspot.com. Check it out, it is going to be a great blog!! Hope that you have a great weekend!! keep me in your prayers as I have 2 more weeks with my friend Otis!:)
