Thursday was the annual "Field Day" at Dawson. All of the elementary students have a track meet where the compete in various events and win ribbons. Sagen won first place in the hulla hooping contest and first place in the long jump. She also won third in the 100m run. I must say...she gets her athletic ability from her momma lol.

A Wonderful Surprise

This Thursday we had a wonderful surprise! My Aunt and Uncle from Georgia flew down and surprised all of us by coming to Sagen's T-Ball game. Originally I wasn't going to go to the T-Ball game because of the FFA banquet but when I found out they were flying down to see us and to see Sagen play T-ball I knew I had to miss the banquet and visit with my family. The only people that knew they were coming was a family friend, and when my mom saw them walk up at the ball park she was beyone shocked! Sagen was very surprised when her uncle Tony walked up to third base and asked her if he could help her catch the ball. She ran off the base to give him a big hug! After the game we went back to my house and ordered pizzas and visited. My sister and her family came down (I had to tell her the surprise to convince her to come to Lamesa) and the kids had a blast playing. They had to go back this morning, which made me sad, but we will see them again in 14 days when we go to Georgia. Uncle Tony has a tradition of giving all the kids Chutes and Ladders when they turn 5. He writes them a sweet note about lifes "ups and downs" and how if they are ever down they can depend on their Uncle Tony! Enjoy the pics!
