Bruce & Brandon

I feel like the worst blogger compared to Missy & Elissa....But I am what I am. So Lil Bruce just finished his basketball season and did really well...He actually is good at basketball. Who would have known???? He must get his height and skills from his dad...LOL!!! Anyways now Bruce & Brandon are playing baseball....Bruce made the Freshman team as the starting catcher and is one of the few freshman to play three sports...We are so proud of him! If he could just get that Spanish Grade up! Anyhow Brandon is playing little league and travel ball with the Bay Valley Bombers. He is having a great season and is playing some serious baseball kids are throwing sometimesi 70 miles per hour! Can you even imagine??? Well hopefully next time I'll have some pics to post of the boys.....I was going to talk about my Valentine's day but what would I put???? Spent the whole day delivering my son's girlfriends gifts, my godchildren's gifts, and at the baseball field until 11:30pm! But I did get to go to church with my honey in the morning and had breakfast.....Now that I am thinking about it...It was a perfect day!!!

What's up with the Russell's?

Sorry it has been so long but I have been busy and with the holidays I am just getting around to blogging....Well Brandon developed appendicitis after Thanksgiving and had to have his appendix removed. This should be a simple procedure but it wasn't. Long story short he developed several infections and after 2 procedures to remove the abcess and puss from his stomach he had to be hospitalized for 12 days. This was horrible for all of us! But he is doing much better! He lost 12lbs and is working on gaining the weight and his strength back....Why can't that happen to me???? He got out of the hospital in time for Christmas and our family enjoyed a great Christmas. We went camping for a week after in Westport near Fort Bragg. It was beautiful rainy but beautiful.....It was so relaxing no phone service or internet so we spent some quality family time which was needed! Bruce made the freshman basketball team and is doing awesome! His team isn't very good but he is enjoying himself and keeping busy which is what is important! Well hope this catches everyone up....

Girls Treat 2009

So Bruce went to Girls Treat!!! He had a lot of fun here are some pictures of the night! The kids look so good! Makes me miss my high school days! The pic where they are eating is the day after...They didn't want it to end!

What's new? Same Old Thing!

My mom says I am a horrible blogger! She is right! But I really don't have anything new going on.....Let's see Brandon is playing football. His team is going to the superbowl for the 6th year! I don't think Brandon knows what an accomplishment this is....Bruce is playing football and doing very good for being on the JV team as a freshman. Bruce will be going to Girl's Treat this weekend. This is a formal where the girl asks the boy and pays for everything! I love this! LOL! Anyways we still have to get the tux and shoes and flowers....But the kids have a great time and I can't wait to see my son in his tux! Well that's it for know I will post pics this weekend of Girl's Treat!

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!
