March Mania and taxes.

You know it is March in KY when your husband buys a new computer and sets it up in the living room just so he can finish the taxes while watching basketball!
We had the worse thing happen to my computer crazy family, our main computer crashed! While to most people that would be okay for us it was a nightmare, we were down to 4 people and one lap top. not good! so we went to sam's and bought a new computer. David hooked it all up in the living room so Kenny could finish the taxes. It has the new vista stuff on itand is all wireles, David has had to reteach us all how to use it. The good thing is we can now all get to our brackets. The taxes, well, we will get those at halftime!
Kenny also found the part to fix the other computer so soon we will all three up and running. Welcome to geek heaven, other wise known as the Basham House.
Go Big blue and oh yeh, Happy Easter!

Snow

If the First Alert Armageddon Doppler Stormtracker Vipir Doomsday Radar is to be believed — and has it ever lied to you? — we’re going to get blasted by a major winter storm that could dump anywhere from an inch to 12 feet of snow on us this weekend. - Mike Feilds, Lexington Herald Leader,3-7-08.

That pretty much sums up how my weekend is going to go. Of course as of 3:30 on friday we have only gotten a light covering of snow. According to Bill Meck, Wlex-tv forcaster and Snow Maniac, the worse is yet to come.

here is a picture of my Neice and Nephew in thier snowstorm earlier this week, they got 8 inches and it was gone the next day.

for March this weather is Crazy!

I know I have only written about my daughter, so now to to my son.
David is a junior at PLD high school. He is a great kid and I am so blessed to be his mom.
He is also a student at eastside tech, which is good and bad, good because he is taking computer classes and can fix our computer. bad becasue he keeps messing with the computer!
We have started the college search with him. Scary as I don't feel old enough to have a son looking at colleges!

PLD Band #1

Okay, I know I haven't written in a long time, It was a crazy year.


The Band won the 5A KY state championship







This is Kenny, Kristina and I on papa John's Field right after they got their medals. all the parents rushed onto the field and the kids were yelling, dancing, crying and screaming! It was awesome!







and then went on to win the Murfreesboro Contest of Champions the next week.












The Percussion was fantastic and crazy!

This Marching season was unforgetable. I couldn't have been more proud to be assosiated to a group of such fantastic kids.

memories

I spent yesterday and last night watching my daughter in her first band contest. I was sitting in the stands and listening to the drum cadence as the band took the feild. It sent a shiver up my spine and my mind raced back to all the times I marched on the feild in high school....I swear the butterflies started and I dont think I took a breath until the music started. I was sitting next to my Mom and Dad and now I know how they felt when they watched me and my sister. It is a mix of pride and sick to your stomach until it is over and then you are so happy you just can't even describe the feeling. I looked over at Mom/Gran and she had tears running down her checks, I guess memories don't have an age limit.

later that night PLD won Grand Champion, best music, best percussion, best visual. ( I remember that feeling as well!)

On another note my son has now moved to the dark side! he has gotten a job as an umpire. He has his first game on Tuesday. He is trying on all the equipement right now and looks so grown up. I can't believe in teo years he will be in college.

I will put some pictures up of the sone.

GO DAWGS!


Dunbar Band takes the feild! The 2007-2008 Dunbar Band had it's first performance at the PLD/Scott county game on Sept. 7. when they marched on the field it took me back to when i marched for Tates creek many years ago. I am so glad my daughter is geeting to be part of the band at Dunbar high school. I pray she has as great an experience as I had.

She is playing cymbals and Synth in the Pit.
there are 6 "Pit Princesses!"

I will try to get better pictures of them. this is at thier Pit Sit" after the game ( there are also 4 guys but who wants them in a picture!)
