Here some pics of Bruce at Tracy High.....He looks so big.....At our house we all take turns posting pics.....Bruce on his Facebook, Brucey on his My Space, and me on my Blog....Guess were all proud!

Man's Best Friend

This is Bruce trying to relax and even the dogs are fighting over him!

So this weekend Brandon played his cousin Timmy in football. It was a nail biter. But in the end Brandon's team won. What really touched me was the way Brandon cared more about his cousin & Uncle Tim (coach of the other team) more than the game. His cousin & him actually were captains and he gave him a quick hug before the game. That almost made me cry! All in all last week was a great football week in the Russell house. Bruce & Brandon won both of their games!

Today I can tell you has not been one of the best. But God has blessed me with the 2 greatest people. That is my Mom & my Husband. When life doesn't always go as planned I can always count on them. They keep me grounded and sane. They make any situation seem better after talking to them. They are positive and strong people and they are both mine. So no matter what happens I know I always have them and their love. Unconditional love is more comforting than anything on this earth. I hope that I can always show that to my children, my husband, my family, and my friends.

Ok so I am officially a horrible blogger!!! But I am going to start up again at least posting once a week. I love reading my sister's and cousin's blog and I hope other people will enjoy reading mine. So let's see my oldest son Bruce started high school and got moved up to the JV football team. His Dad is so proud. I am just so happy that he is getting really good grades! My youngest son Brandon is doing great in football and just made a traveling baseball team ranked 4th in the nation. He is not too excited about baseball right now but I know as soon as football is over he will be in baseball mode. We will be traveling to New York next summer so he can play baseball in Cooperstown New York. Other than that life is pretty normal. I can't believe how big my boys are getting....In a couple of months they will be 12 & 15......The green & yellow team is Bruce's high school team & the red & black team is Brandon's football team

Me & My Honey

So today I am celebrating 15 years with my honey....Where did the time go? But I can truly say despite everything I am truly happy....I have a great husband and 2 beautiful boys....Over the years we have been through good times and bad times but I am glad he was one I shared it with...I can really say he is my best friend....he knows everything about me and loves me anyway......So on our anniversay he will be at baseball practice with Brandon and I will go to Wal-Mart to get some stuff I need.....But thats real life my life and I love it!!!!!

Gracie & Wes

I have known my girlfriend Jill for about 14 years since she was 16 years old!!! And she has turned into a great Mom, wife, and school teacher....I am not surprised at all.....But anyways I had the pleasure of watching her two beautiful kids on Friday (I am a little partial since Grace is our god daughter)......There is nothing more sweet in this world than little kids laughing, playing, and smiling......I have posted some videos of these amazing, beautiful, and very smart kids!!!!! They had me laughing all morning!!!!! Wes definately wants to be just like his Daddy...The second video he is on Bruce's excavtor which he calls his Digger...Hilarious! I sure miss these days with my kids when life was so simple! P.S. this Mom has her kiddies trained anytime I had my phone or camera they were say CHEEESSSSEEEE!!!
