May 28th Given's Graduation Party

Summer 2011 Part 1

Friends At The Beach

We live near the beach!!!

One last event May 31

Little League Closing Ceremonies  The last evening in May was the close to this year's spring ball.  The "New Two"  had a great season and they were both coached by Dad.
So, to say that May was a bit busy is surely an understatement and while it was filled with ups and downs it will be a May to remember.

Day After...May 29th...We are off to the beach

Hanging out as we gather to go to the National Seashore

May 28th The Graduation Party

They all made it home for celebrating the last of the "Original Five's" graduation.  Five down two to go!

Later that same day...May 21

Later that same day Given had one last time on the football field when he played in the South Texas Allstar Football game, West vs. East.

Two of the best Coaches!

Young Coach Hilliard, Given, and Young Coach Hilliard . They were patient, kind and great role models.

State Pole Vault Austin, Texas 2011

The hard work paid off and it was enough to get Giv first place at Regionals and qualify him to compete at the  Texas State Track meet in Austin.  He placed 6th! A big accomplishment in this big state of TEXAS!

Track meets galore!

We spent a lot of time watching Given run the hurdles, pole vault, mile relay and 4 by 1.   Track meets all around South Texas and then when he won first in the district for hurdles and pole vault we went to San Antonia for Regionals. Yes it was cold!

Mother's Day

Next was Mother's Day when I was showered with homemade Mother's Day gifts...the best kind! Thank you "new two."

His First Communion

As I mentioned previously May was  very busy month, but now it is just history.

It started off with J's first communion.  He was very excited about it and the two years of preparation  were worth it.  A special time in his young life, we love him so much and we are proud of him.  May 1, St. Peter's Catholic Church, Corpus Christi, Texas.                                      

Random thoughts....

There is a way that seemeth right, but in the end it leadeth to destruction.  From the Bible, but I am too lazy to look it up right now.


Bryden's thought is......Feelings are boring, kissing is awesome.  Also seen on a tshirt around these parts.
