More Stuff (which is mostly basketball...)

This time of year, it's Basketball and Theatre for our kids!  Here's a look at what we've all been up to!

Karli, Cason, & Justice spent a school day buying toys for the toy drive at school!

A Friday basketball tournament with games at 12:15 and 4:00 means a trip to the park in between!  

Stud.

Dee, Caedmon, Rachel, Shushu, and Damian working EXTREMELY hard in class....

Cason serving as team captain at a basketball game!

This is the kind of picture I send my kids while they're at school...and then watch them all start blaming each other...

Cambree showing her grandpas the specs for her future "bus house!" (Don't ask...)

Cam riding with Paw around Dublin, TX!

Blu at a basketball tournament in Gorman....he couldn't resist the old school fireplace!

Cambree serving as team captain against a Senior from Richland Springs!

Cason won Best Actor at their middle school One Act Play contest!  The play got 2nd place!

He wanted this SO bad!

These two hanging out!

And these two are ALWAYS playing card games...

We were excited to attend a local high school playoff game between two state-ranked teams, but it was a blowout and we left at halftime!

I have to brag on my bff Whitney's daughter Hannah - she's headed to Denison University in Ohio to play tennis!

I think I'll go hunting today....

And shoot a gun for the first time... (I missed.)

Cason marinating chicken and steaks for supper!

Thanksgiving 2021

We celebrated Thanksgiving twice this year - first on Thanksgiving Day in Gladewater, Texas with my sister and her family!  Her in-laws, Cathy & Fred, hosted us at Lake Gladewater!

We took Mom & Dad's RV for the 4 1/2 hour trip!  Traffic was insane, but it was fun!

Card games with the cousins!

More whipped cream!

Then, on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we had the Tidwell Family Thanksgiving at Lake Brownwood State Park!  Cason won the family game of Spoons!
