BASKETBALL BAAABY!!!

 

 

As I said before I am from Kentucky. Kentucky is known for two things, horses and UK basketball. Our fans are crazy (including me) over their Wildcats!!! It has been that way all my life. When I was a preteen my mom would take me and a few friends and family over to Wildcat Lodge on UK campus. We would stand outside and wait for the team to come out after practice hoping that we could possibly meet them and get their autograph. March madness is true madness in Kentucky. When a game is on everything else is on hold. Some preachers at the churches even know that if a Kentucky game is going on around noon then the sermon needs to be quick! We also love our Coach Cal!!

 

 

We have our own little basketball star in our house. We think so anyway. Parker plays basketball for the sixth grade middle school team. He is a lefty and plays point guard. Basketball is his favorite sport. He also plays baseball in the spring, which is mine and his dad's favorite. I show up to his games usually in high fashion with my "bling" shirt on. That is when I am not wearing scrubs because I am rushing to the game after work. Parker is actually not old enough yet to be completely

appalled by his parents. In due time. I cannot believe he is a preteen. Soon he will be dating, driving and wanting very little to do with his parents. It seems like yesterday that his little newborn head was nestled under my chin. He was a mommas boy. Time certainly does go by way to fast:(.

 

Here he is under his UK blanket. What else???

 

Parker and his sister Alli and cousin Will @ Rupp Arena. We were there for a circus not a UK game but hey it is still RUPP ARENA!

 

Our future UK basketball player. We can dream.......

 

Actually no matter what sport Parker wants to play or not play is fine with us. We are just so proud of the young man that he has turned out to be, We could not be more proud. But in the event he becomes a UK basketball player, that would be OK too. We Love You Parker Douglas, and GO BIG BLUE!!
