Meet MG

Meet, MG, my lunch buddy and now, offically my lil brother in the Big Brother, Big Sister program.

Look at that smile! MG and I've been having lunch at his school together the last 3 years. It's been so fun watching him grow. MG and my 2 kiddos have big fun together over lunches so it just seemed right he could join us for fun beyond the cafeteria. MG's grandma wanted me to be his Big Sis and I could not be more honored.

Happy Easter and night night!

P.S. Last call to play bracket pool for DR orphans at http://www.hopethruhoops.blogspot.com Brackets at due tomorrow at 11 a.m. Donate anytime! Over half enough to sponsor an orphan for a year.

Almost perfect weekend...

I hear the Committee on considering the "full body of the season" blah blah blah....I'm proud of our DAWGs this weekend and we made some special memories with Reagan (our nephew) and Willie. March truly is maddening....I'm almost ready for baseball but I have high hopes for www.hopethruhoops.blogspot.com . Please join and help make a big difference!

March Madness

I'm not going to analyze brackets....all I really know is our beloved Bisons got upset in the A-Sun Tourney along with every other top seed---that's a testament to the competition of that league.

Beloved Bulldogs are on the Bubble.

Our Music City Magic first graders won the First Grade Chamionship last weekend! 5 games in 48 hours.

And, my latest tournament venture....Managing a Bracket Pool! I've fully cleared myself with our NCAA compliance officer at LU and it's all for a God cause. Please help me give them Hope through Hoops over the next few weeks. Play my bracket pool and change lives!

God's Money

A couple of weeks ago our church gave members $25,000 in increments in 5, 10 and 20. The idea is it's God's money and we're to pray about how to use it. Willie received $10 and is thinking on investing his proceeds in a lemonade stand supplies. Proceeds from his stand will go to Safe Haven Family Shelter. If anyone has some ideas on high traffic event upcoming on where he can have his stand, let me know. (I'm still wrestling with my $5. Stay tuned on that....but you know I've got some ideas swirling.)

Here's a couple of awesome ideas from some of my closest friends:


We're helping with just $20 to help build another well in Africa. See my post on the last well at http://thejaywaltons.blogspot.com/2008/11/faithbuilders.html My dear friend Amanda and her husband are taking $5 to $5000 to build a well through First Hope International. Check out http://www.fivetofivethousand.wordpress.com/ for all the details. Please let me know if you can play with me.

And another dear friend Betsy is raising $ to sponsor a child in Uganda by raffling off her handmade necklaces and flip flops. She easily met her goal of sponsoring first child $300 and now she's working on 2nd child.
