Jordan is 15

I can't believe it's been 15 yrs. since we brought that precious baby home and named Jordan. Time slips away so fast and before you know it they are ready to move out. I do admit some days are quite long when the boys are fighting but that's normal....at least it's normal at my house.

One more year and he will have his driver's license and then a whole new set of worries begin. We had his birthday party a week late since Kota was in a basketball tournament. Family came over on Sat. night and we had food, cake, ice cream and fellowship with one another.

Jordan, I love you with all my heart and it's a privilege to be your mom!

One Proud Mama

I have been so lax in posting lately. The basketball season is coming to a close and baseball is getting started. Jordan isn't playing baseball this spring/summer but Kota is making up for it. He's on a travel team AND the city league. He will play every weekend on the travel team plus play Streator Little League during the week. I am so glad I only have two children......I wouldn't be able to handle any more than that!!!!

Kota made the game winning shot this weekend on his travel basketball team. With 1.9 seconds left on the clock and down by two points the play the coach called for was to inbound the ball to Kota and him to bomb it down to our basket. He made the half court shot and banked it in and we won by 1 pt since that was a 3 point shot! The gym erupted into cheers and it was amazing! Needless to say, Joel and I were very proud. Kota was flying high the rest of the day. He's such a great kid and I can't imagine my life without him. God has blessed me beyond measure when He gave me my two boys.
