John Charles' karate buddy, Nolan, has been fighting cancer for a few years. This week he was put on hospice care. We had a party for him at karate and he was presented with an honorary black belt.

Baseball

It’s almost time for the fall baseball season to begin and I haven’t even blogged about the regular season.  This year John Charles played for the Braves.

2013 68b

He chose the number 12 this year because that’s the age he wants to be.  He thinks that when he’s 12 he will be able to do all the things he wants to do – like chat online and have his own youtube channel.

2013 75b

 

Most of the season he played third base.

2013 70b

He also got to pitch a few times.

2013 106b

He only got 1 homerun during the season but he got hits and rbi’s in every game and for most of the season was the cleanup hitter.

2013 99b

The team celebrated the end of the season with a pool party.

2013 152b

After that we got a great surprise!  John Charles was chosen to play on the All Star Team!

The team was a wonderful group of boys.

You Better Redneckognize!

We met Honey Boo Boo and family this weekend!  They were selling Girl Scout Cookies and having a meet and greet at their house and we decided to go for a visit on Sunday afternoon.  Interestingly, Mama June is from the same town that we live in.  Her mother still lives here and on Saturday the oldest daughter, Anna, and her baby were here in our town visiting.

It was a very interesting day!  The family is exactly like they appear on tv. They are loud, relaxed and fun loving. Alana had been meeting fans and posing for photos since 11AM and wanted a break.  She got on her bicycle and rode around the yard with her sister Pumpkin for awhile.  They rode through mud puddles for awhile and the back of Pumpkin’s pants were covered in mud.  Mama June saw her and laughed and yelled, “Pumpkin, you done sh*t your pants!”   Then Alana started jumping in the puddles and June said, “Alana what are you doing? You know you’ve got to wear those shoes to school tomorrow!”  Alana answered, “Nuh uh! I’ve got tennis shoes I can wear!” They sold over 1300 boxes of cookies and raised almost $600 for their local animal shelter! We were happy to support their cause and to meet our own Georgia celebrities!
