More Bama Football 2012

I thought I would add a few more pics of our Bama season 2012.  We always have a great time as a family and as you can see we usually have a crowd with us.

Will Turns 9 Years Old

Will turned 9 on 12/4/2012.  I can't believe my baby boy is 9.  He had a great weekend.

On Friday afternoon we took Will and 5 of his best buds to T-town for ice skating, dinner and the mall.  When we finished they all came back to our house to spend the night.  Oh boy!  2 am before they went to sleep.  I am much too old for that time of the morning.

We always enjoy having the boys at our house.  Will has wonderful friends and I hope they will spend many more birthdays at my house.

I love you son!  May God continue to direct you and protect you.

Fayette County High School - 3A State Playoffs

Fayette County made the 3a state football playoffs.  Will and Donna went with Heather, Harrison and Tucker Whitley to Auburn on Wednesday night before the big game.  On Thursday they made their way over to Jordan-Hare to watch FCHS play.
Although FCHS came up a little short you can tell that Will had a great time.  I did not get to go and apparently I was the only one left in Fayette that day, because almost everyone in town made the trip.
We enjoy being a part of this community.  As I tell my folks, Will is from Fayette.  This is where he was born and being raised, so he loves the FCHS Tigers.

Nashville - December 2012

Donna, Will, me and Daniel Doran went to Nashville to check out the Shrek Ice exihibit along with the Rockets Christmas program.  We had a wonderful.
The boys really enjoyed the Ice exhibit.  It was 14 degrees and everything was made of ice.  Really awesome how they did it.  As you can see the boys bundled up, as did Donna and I as we made our way through.

Will's Church Christmas Program 2012

Will's Christmas program was awesome!  He had a small solo in the program and did wonderful.  PawPaw, Nina, Pop and Grams all came up to see him.  After the program everyone came back to our house for dinner.

Bama vs. Western Carolina - Jackson's first game

I took Will and his buddies, Daniel and Jackson Doran to the Bama game with me vs Western Carolina.  Donna was sweet enough to give up her seat and let Jackson go.  Big D (Daniel) goes to alot of the games with us, but this was JD's first Bama game.  He really enjoyed it and we were glad he went with us.

The game was a blowout, so me and the boys met up with friends out front of the stadium and hung out for a while.  The pic taken of the "gang" was out front near the Stallings statue.

Roll Tide!

Fall Baseball 2012

Will just finished up his fall baseball season.  We didn't suffer a loss and I don't think Will got out all season.

Great job Will!  I am proud of you.

U of A Basketball Camp

Will attended Coach Grant's basketball camp at the U of A.  He had a great week and his team WON the 5 on 5 tournament for the 5-9 group.  Will scored in the game and had a great time.  Coach Grant's son was even on the opposing team.

Way to go Will!

Baseball 2012............Go Braves!

Will's team for 7-8 year old machine pitch was the Braves.  We had a great year and actually finished 2nd in the league behind the Cardinals from Berry.  We finished in front of the other 3 Fayette teams.  My team worked hard and we have a great time.

Will played awesome!  He was a leading hitter for us and played well in the field.  I am so proud of the way he continues to develop.  Most of all, he has a great attitude and displays wonderful sportsmanship.

I am proud to be his dad and coach.

Black Eye................Thanks Will!

Yep, that is me with a black eye compliments of a wild swing of the golf club from Will.  The putter hit me on the right eye.  OUCH!!!!

I am loading these pics on Sunday (1 week later) and the eye is still purple.  I am not as swollen, but there is no doubt something has happened.  Oh well, it could have been much worse.

Hey, we have a great story.

Spring Break 2012

Donna, Will and I took a Spring Break trip to Disney World and then to Tampa, Florida, to watch the Yankees play in spring training. We had Jason, Christi, Sidney and Mac Nelson with us. We had a great time. They are a great Christian family and I hope they enjoyed the time like we did.

The photos above are of Disney World and the Yankees.
