Where has January gone.........

Goodness, this month had flown by. Next thing you know Christmas will be right around the corner!!
I hope everyone has had a great 2009 so far. We certainly have!!
The boys are currently in the middle of their basketball season. Both are doing well. Troy has gotten a lot more aggressive than last year(he was actually growling at the other team last game - weird, I know). He did make his 1st basket a few games ago. Zachary is still the same 'ol Zachary. Mellow and laid back......he has gotten some shots off but hasn't made any baskets as of yet. Although he did draw a foul last game. Watch out for him, he's a beast :) You know they say it's always the quiet one's........
The boys just had their 100th day of school. They are both doing well. Zachary got 5 A's and 1 B on his report card. Much better than the 5 B's and 1 A he got the last time. Troy did well on his report card also. Zachary will be going on a field trip to the Desoto Caverns next month - sounds like it should be fun. Who wouldn't think riding on a bus for 2 hours with a bunch of 5th graders fun......I can't wait :)
Well, since Zachary is in the 5th grade this year they have a lot of special activities. This year they are having a 5th grade dance. All year long Zachary and his friends have been making plans on who they were going to ask to the dance. Zachary told us Sunday that he was going to ask Brianna. I know most all of his friends but not her. She just moved here this year from Mobile. Anyway, he came home last night and he said he did ask her...........to be his girlfriend!!and she said yes...... I thought he was just going to ask her to the dance. Guess he had other plans!! Anyway, I guess I'll meet her on the field trip, if they're still "dating" then. You know how those 5th grade romances are.
Baseball registration starts this weekend.......think I'll wait until the very last minute. It's not like I just have $235 laying around........the boys better be working hard for the money this year!! I expect to see some home runs!! HA HA!!
I hope everyone has a blessed week!!
I'll post again soon.........I hope.......

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gosh, It's been almost a month since I've posted anything!! I have been so busy. Glad the holiday's are over so everything can get back to normal!!

Well, we all had agreat Christmas. I hope you enjoyed your's as well. The Sunday before Christmas Ronnie's brother, sister-in-law and niece and nephew came down and we had Christmas with them. We did Christmas at our house Christmas morning or course then it was off to my mom's for Christmas with the family. The morning after Christmas we went to Tallahassee to have Christmas with my dad, stepmom and sister and came back that Sunday. Just in time to go back to work!! Yuck!! I was off yesterday as well but had to work today.........thik it would have killed the to let us close today too? I don't think so!!

Last time I blogged I told you that Ronnie has his last chemo treatment. On Christmas Eve he got the results from his Pet Scan!! Wonderful news.........he has NO active lymphoma!! Yeah!! He will go back in 6 weeks for a check up and at that time they will schedule another Pet Scan. We could not have asked for a more wonderful Christmas present!! I thank God that he has come thru this all so well. And he has been in such a good mood since then. Glad to have the old Ronnie back. I love him so much!!

The kids go back to school on Wednesday - I'm sure they are looking forward to that!! :) Zachary wants a new cell phone so I made a deal with him that if he made all A's on his next report card that I would buy him a new one. His last progress report he had 1 B and the rest A's so I know he can do it.
The boys are in full basketball swing now. Troy's team is 2-0 and Zach's team is 1-1. They were off last week and were supossed to start back this Saturday but with so many people being out of town for the holidays and the Sugar Bowl they have cancelled this weekend's game and rescheduled them for next week. Troy's make up game will be Tuesday night at 6:30 and Zach's make up game will be Friday night at 7:30. Good luck boys!!

Well, I hope everyone's new year had started off great!! Have a great rest of the week. I'll try to be back next week with some more exciting news about the Patterson Family!! he he....
