HeavenWord Handlers

As this year's HeavenWord Handlers basketball performance team season winds down the HeavenWord Handlers had the opportunity to performed tonight during halftime at both the Waseca boys B squad and varsity games against St Peter here at home.

They did great!!

There were some changes in the team members since last year.

Grant, Alan, Cyrus, and Joyce have gotten a little old to be on the team.

Joyce still performed at a few performances earlier this season.

Grant did the pole at a few of the performances earlier in the season,as well.

It did make me a little sad that they are growing up so fast.

On the other hand Nolan, Josh, Odell, Ekie, Naomi, and Anya still make up a portion of the team.

Along with my kids, there is a whole new group of very talented kids who are wonderful!!!

Joel, Grace, and one of the Dufault girls were in the performance for the first time tonight.

They all did SO good!!!!!

The HeavenWord Handler's last performance is Friday night in Waterville.

This was the only performance I made it to this year so I made sure I took a bunch of pictures!!

Number 33

The Waseca Blue Jays won over the Blue Earth Buccaneers 30 to 18 last night for their homecoming game!

I got a few pictures of Josiah #33 in action. I am sorry for the blurriness.

I do not know much about football as I mentioned in another post but I do enjoy seeing my boys in action!

Waseca Homecoming Parade!

This is a big day!!

The homecoming parade was this afternoon!

I was excited to see Josiah on the boys varsity football float!!

Here was my small crew. A peppy looking bunch don't you think?

Grace was not feeling well, but I did not know that until the parade was over but now looking at the picture I can see it. She told me she felt like she was going to throw up and you know what this loving, nurturing mom said sternly in reply, " Don't you do that Grace. Not here. You need to wait until you get home. No, do not do that (as she is gagging)." What mom would say something like that. Not my finest mom moment. I hope no one else heard.

I had her sit down and breath and then gave her a sucker to suck on to sooth her tummy on the walk home.

Well, it worked. She did not throw up even when she got home but I had her rest in her bed for the afternoon.

I think I traumatized her for life, though.

I traumatized myself for life.

Would it have been that bad if she threw up in the middle of all the public school kids, teachers, parade goers? She would have gotten over the embarrassment but I do not think I would have.

Wow, what a mom I am.

~sigh~

What I have been waiting the whole parade for!

Hey, where is Josiah!?

He is not easy to see hiding in the middle like that.

The big game against Blue Earth is tonight.

Number 83

I have not been able to make it to very many of the kids sporting events over the years but this year I am determined to make it to a few.

Those other sports moms can be pretty intimidating. They know their stuff. I made the mistake of referring to a football quarter as an inning today. Good thing only Jeff heard an corrected me.

Today I walked over to the school fields to watch Waseca's 8th grade football team play against Fairmont. I got some fun action pictures of Nolan #83.

I am not versed in action pictures so they are a bit blurry but Nolan looks awesome!

The varsity football players were practicing on the field next to Nolan's game field so as the varsity players were finishing up their practice I go a quick photo of Josiah. He is the boy in the front.

Here is a question: how many Oreos does one have to mindlessly eat while watching 4400 on Netflix to finally notice too many were eaten?

Hit...two rows are left.

Sigh.

Why do I do things like that?

Slipped My Mind!!

I forgot all about yesterday's Waseca Homecoming!

The 13 older kids were off to find the best candy throwing spots for the homecoming parade so Joel, Lily, and I found our own good spot along the parade route to gather candy.

It is unsettling that the kids are growing so fast and not feeling the need to be by mom as much.

All too quickly those once little birds are wanting to test their wings...

Would it be unfair of me to keep Joel and Lily little for a while longer?

Maybe give their wings a teeny tiny little clip?

No?

I know.

You are right.

~sigh~

I need to let them grow up...

I realize my homecoming parade pictures are lacking somewhat...

I did not make it to the football game last night either!

I do have lots of BlueJay pride.

Honest.

Just a wimp when it comes to cold weather.
