A Go Cats Christmas gift!

For Christmas the Timmerings got us UK/UL tickets for the dream game!

We were so excited for such a fun day!

 We started at the Old Spaghetti Factory for lunch...Santa was there...see him in the back ground! Riggs put that on Instargram!

 Then ran like hell to the Yum Center...in the freezing cold and Jenna with no coat in a sleeveless sequins top!

 We headed to the Cardinal Spirit room before the game!

 Jenna bought me a drink called a Cardinal crush...I think that is why they won...

We all really enjoyed the game ...even though the cats lost this year!

 On the way out we ran into Derrick Anderson! Bonus!!!!

Marching into Spring....

I love March....it bring with it the hope of warmth and sunshine and it is full of happy things! 

Derby and Easter hats magically appear in the stores and call out...buy me...love me!

 Love, our mother Dove, returns to our deck every spring to bring new babies into the world....

This spring she will welcome 2 babies...which, in honor of the Month of March, the littles have already named...Clover & Calipari

 Every day you look outside and a new, beautiful treasure awaits in bloom!

Sandals and flip flop come out of hiding....

and are kicked off to jump on the trampoline or to run in the grass.....

and some days even call for sunglasses...and the warmth of the sun feels oh so good in spring....because you have missed it so....

 But most of all basketball fills our thoughts and our time! Brackets are filled out...taped up and highlighted and we play basketball from sun up......

 till sundown......

This night it was Riggs and Rollins versing Jeremy and me...it's amazing how much fun a slab of concrete with a goal can be...I just love how all the elements of March come together to bring us all together even more!
and as always.....Go Cats!

Go cats and taking a moment to remember the day

We headed off to Lexington for the UK vs. WKU football game tonight! It was nice to relax in the car and just be excited for the football game...a game of a team we love but where none of my kids were playing...win or loose it was just going to be fun! We got there and got out the food and the boys threw a little football! They loved their Big Blue drinks! They played and ate and had a great time and then it was time to head to the stadium!














We walked in and they were so excited to see the sea of blue and hear the crowd cheering!

It was loud and exciting but ironically it was our time to remember 9/11 on this whirlwind day. The SEC flags had been replaced with all American flags and the big American flag was at half mast. The children placed their hands over their hearts for a moment of silence as we remembered the past and what is means to all of us.

"look mama," Rollins said as the jets flew over the stadium as we payed tribute to 9/11.So precious to see the boys think about an event that happened before they were born but that still lingers in all of us everyday


With cross fingers and hopeful hearts they settled into the game and we had a ball! The Cats won and the long day was over....it was a good one!
