HANES BACA BRADY BUNCH: Volleyball

I am so behind on updates....Volleyball season was over as of last weekend.
Here are some pics of Hailey at her last volleyball tournament with McCormick Jr. High
Her team won 2nd place!

Mud Puddles and Dandelions

When I look at a patch of dandelions, I
see a bunch of weeds that are going to
take over my yard.

My kids see flowers for Mom and blowing
white fluff you can wish on.
When I look at an old drunk and he smiles
at me, I see a smelly, dirty person who
probably wants money and I look away.

My kids see someone smiling at them and
they smile back.
When I hear music I love, I know I can't
carry a tune and don't have much rhythm
so I sit self-consciously and listen.

My kids feel the beat and move to it. They
sing out the words. If they don't know
them, they make up their own.

When I feel wind on my face, I brace
myself against it. I feel it messing up my
hair and pulling me back when I walk.
My kids close their eyes, spread their arms
and fly with it, until they fall to the ground laughing.

When I pray, I say thee and thou and
grant me this, give me that.
My kids say, 'Hi God! Thanks for my
toys and my friends. Please keep the bad
dreams away tonight. Sorry, I don't want
to go to Heaven yet. I would miss my
Mommy and Daddy.'

When I see a mud puddle I step around
it. I see muddy shoes and dirty carpets. My kids sit in it. They see dams to build,
rivers to cross, and worms to play with.

I wonder if we are given kids to teach or
to learn from? No wonder God loves the
little children!

Enjoy the little things in life, for one day
you may look back and realize they were
the big things. I wish you Big Mud Puddles and
Sunny Yellow Dandelions!!!
