Sept./Oct. 08

September brought Football! Bo made the Freshman A team. He played defensive corner back and played on special teams. He had a great season but hopefully we can get a little more meat on his bones for next year. Mom was very happy their were no injuries this year. He wore #11. At the beginning of the season all the players went out for a parents night and they introduced the varsity players and other teams as a whole. Football is big down here in Texas so it pretty much kept us busy most of Sept and Oct. Bo's team ended up 2-7. The 2 they won we're against rival Keller teams so that was good. Bo played Thursday nights but we'd pretty much go out and watch the Varsity play under the Friday Night Lights. They would put up signs to cheer on the boys for games. Bo's team is Fossil Ridge High School ...home of the Panthers. Jill volunteered alot selling merchandise for the booster club too.

Jeff got a cake for his 45th B-day. A woolley's custard cake. Their soooo good!

The Thunderbirds came out to the Alliance Airport right near our house for a Airshow. We went over to watch the practice show on friday and then got to watch them from our house with out all the crowds over the weekend. Never get tired of watching them.

The new plane came in at Perigrine Point...where Jeff works now. We went over to watch it land and got to go in and ck it out. It's a really nice plane. It's a brand new 737 Boeing business jet. It can be used for passengers or cargo transportation.

Bo dressed up as a Auburn fan for Halloween this year...go war eagle!

In August we had to say good-bye to Butch. Jeff and Butch drove to Las Vegas to get him settled into an apartment and get ready for Dental School. He has an old High School friend as a roommate and is doing well. Mom made him a T-shirt quilt from some of his old shirts. We all really enjoyed having him around this past year but now it's time for a new chapter in his life.

Jeff and Jill celebrated 25 years of marraige on August 27th. Yeah, we can't believe how fast the time has gone by either. As long as we can stay healthy...we're looking forward to another 25 years! Here's Bo on his 1st day of school...a freshman in high school!

July Happenings

July has been another busy month for us.

Started out with Bo's 14th B-day. He celebrated with some friends. The usual...pizza, video games and sleep over.

Jeff's sister Holly came for a visit. It was great having her here. We went to Medeival Times in Dallas which is a fun place to go for dinner and the jousting tournament.The horses that perform are just beautiful. Holly got to celebrate Gram's 83rd B-day too. Gram got a red hat for the red hat club she's in at her assisted living home.

There's also a few picture's of Daniele (Butch's girlfriend) and Butch.

On the 24th of July Butch got commissioned into the Air Force Reserve Dental Corp by his Dad. He received a full 4 year scholarship for Dental School from the Air Force. In 4 years when he's done with school he'll go into the Air Force as a Captain and serve for 4 years in the military as a dentist. We are all so proud of him.

Bo got his braces on! He'll have them for about a 1 1/2 years. Needless to say he's been in some pain.

June 08 cont.

In the middle of June...Jeff had a business trip to Las Vegas so Jill went along too. We had a fun trip...stayed on the strip at Harrahs casino. We took in the sights and even a few shows...

Myste're and Wayne Brady the comedian. Jill met up with her cousin Mari who was also visiting Vegas at the time.

We also got to catch up with some friends Kimber and Doug and their litter of puppies...they were so cute. We had a nice vacation.

Mari stopped in for a visit with us in Ft. Worth too. We went down to the Stockyards and watched the cow run and also cked out the horse stables. June was a busy month for us.
