Nick Saban Football Camp 2010

As I said earlier, Steven was gifted Nick Saban football camp for Christmas. Well, I entered a portal to Hell the day we went to observe for the parents program. Steven loved camp, shook Coach Saban’s hand and everything. Saban gave the boys one of the best speeches I have ever heard. Of course, I didn’t remember I had my video camera until about 3 minutes into the speech.

Steven did get to take his picture with Coach and shake his hand. He said that he is shorter than he expected. He has a presence and you can tell that.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you how hot it was! I cannot do heat anymore. It was beyond hot and miserable. I took Bryce thinking it would be a great experience for him and it was just too stinking hot to enjoy anything. Plus, there was no water or anything for the parents so we sat in the open stadium, with a select few breezes, melting in the sun. However, I could see a difference in Steven's playing so it was totally worth it!

Brycee’s first video game

Don’t go and get your panties in a wad.  We had found a few educational games online.  We are working on our letters, since we decided to go backwards and learn numbers, colors, and shapes first.  So, here he is on the computer…

You have to love that gorgeous bedhead!!

Vacation Countdown!!

We planned so great this year and paid up front so we may have a chance at a vacation this year.  It looks so inviting and welcoming!  Until you remember that there is oil out there just waiting to dirty up those pretty beaches.  We still have a few weeks before we head out of town but I am praying that the oil holds out!

Hot Hot Hot

Boy, it is hot! The temp is like 98 feels like 100!! And the humidity is horrible. We went swimming today and it was almost too hot to enjoy that too. We are now just winding down a great weekend. Steven is all signed in at Saban camp and I am waiting to hear how it is going. I will check back in later.

Merry Christmas Steven!

Steven's aunt, Anna and her husband David, bought Steven the treat of the year...Three days at Nick Saban Football Camp. We are Alabama fans and they DID just win the National Championship this year sooooo, to say the least, we ARE EXCITED!!!!! I think that I am just as excited as he is. What an opportunity!! Thank you guys for such a sweet thing for him! I pray Steven drinks some water down there because we are experiencing 103+ heat indexes and smothering humidity. It was hard to breathe outside today. Good luck my son, see you soon!!!

Daddy's Birthday!

We celebrated Daddy's birthday. With a somewhat surprise party.

Bryce is not a good secret keeper.

But Daddy loved his surprise just the same. This is his favorite, Turtle Pie!

Point Mallard!

Sunday, before the virus hit, we headed to the waterpark here in town. I guess I just remember everything but here again it has many memories. It is an old stomping ground for some of us here in the d-Rock. Back when it was safe to leave kids places, I would get dropped off first thing in the morning and hang out there all day. I can't imagine doing that with Steven now. Well, the mallard had some specials for passes this year and Steven scooped one up. Then Point Mallard held some contests on their facebook page and moi won one! I was super excited, to say the least. It took me about two weeks to go and pick up my prize and the marketing director gave me a pass and Blake some day passes too! Excited some more! Plus, Brycee still gets in for free. They have two kiddie pools, an olympic size pool, three speed slides, a toilet bowl slide, and it is also home to America's first wave pool. I haven't been in a couple of years and was pleasantly surprised to find most of it resurfaced. It took some time to get your feet used to the blistering hot pavement they had many moons ago. If you are ever in the north Alabama region, look up Point Mallard. It is worth the time!
