Winter Post

Life is busy. Basketball season is in full swing which means 2 games a week, typically 1 at home and one in the Valley. We were blessed to have Mike & Carol stop by for one of Morgan's games. Mike has a chemo infusion in town on Friday's so it worked out that we were able to visit with them.

Crebbin Men and Woman!

Morgan's first Formal. He had a great time and so did his date.

Falls Sports and New Additions

I find it hard to believe that summer is over and school has started. It went by too fast. Usually this time of year, everyone is ready for school to begin. Not this year. The boys are growing up and we enjoy spending time with them. We know it won't be too long and they will have better things to do than hang out with Mom & Dad.

Lucas is running Cross Country this year and it looks as if KU will have a great team. He looks good out there running for the Pels!

It is hard to believe he is a freshman. When the heck did that happen?

Morgan(#12) decided early that he was joining the football team this year. He plays WR and works special teams. He had a couple of great hits and a recovery. KU beat North Valley.
Running in the plays.

After many months of searching, waiting and indecision we finally decided to add to our family. I have no idea which one of these will come home with us, but how am I supposed to just pick ONE?!?!?

2 weeks old.

Everything is Bigger on the John Day River...

We love going here. The country is beautiful. The company is amazing. No phones, no internet, no computers. We really can't call it fishing, because there are so many fish. We call it 'catching'. We saw a herd of mountain ewes with their lambs, 12 rams, hundreds of fish, 2 FA-18 jets, and not many people. Pat and I watch our boys have a great time, in and out of the water, playing horseshoes and just being plain goofey! The memories we make during these 5 days are recounted in the 8 hour car ride home and over the next 12 month's, until the next John Day River trip.

Did I mention that we love this trip?

Been a long time.

Life is crazy busy right now.  I think it will slow down, just a tad bit with summer.  Lucas had his 8th grade graduation dance tonight.  He looks too young to be finishing 8th grade.

Lucas and his date.

I have a suspicion that this is who he will really be hanging with!

Nice looking young man.

Morgan also finished a great track season.  Earning his Varsity letter and going to the state finals as an alternate.

(I never noticed this until now, but if you look really close, in the background of this picture, I was able to get another family member, without even knowing it!)

We have a busy summer.  Morgan is having surgery in a couple of weeks to fix a deviated septum that he has suffered with since he was 5.  Summer basketball league has started.  We have a float trip planned down the John Day river.  Pat is hiking with his brother in the Eagle Cap Wilderness area.  The boys and I are renting a cabin on Wallowa Lake for the week and just having some 'down-time' before August gets here:  which means football and cross-country!

How can it be?

I already have our summer planned out until August? It is only April! Between basketball summer camp, our John Day float trip, Pat backpacking the Wallowa's and Morgan getting his nose fixed....We. Are. Booked! School will start earlier that usual at the end of August. Football practice will be thrown in sometime before then and we will have to be home for that and I think Lucas may be doing Cross Country. Whew. We haven't even finished track yet.

Lucas has been running great times in the 1500M and the 800M and actually had a great throw in his first discus competition.

Morgan is pretty proud that he has made Varsity track running the 200M and the 4X400M relay. So instead of the luxury of home meets on Friday's, we get to travel on Saturday's. Fortunately for us though the District meet will be hosted this year at OIT!
