Way to go Hawks!





Dad and his longtime friend, Danny.

Uncle Mike and my cousin Makenzie celebrating in overtime!

Cheering on the Hawks!

We asked my cousin Colton if he thought the Memphis Tigers were going to beat us. He didn't like that thought.

More pics from the incredible run we've had.

Champions!!!

Ok, so I haven't been able to post anything for awhile b/c my Jayhawks have been in the run for the National Championship and I've been too busy watching the games. My mom was a little nervous about posting anything until we won it all. Now, we have won, we are #1 in the nation. It's such a great time to be a Jayhawk!!! Enjoy the pics.

Dad and I were doing our pre-game warmup before Saturday's matchup with North Carolina.

Pre-game fun is necessary.



Get your game face on!

Mom, dad...look what I found!

Some of the most exciting times for me is discovering the world around me. It doesn't matter how many toys I get for my birthday/holidays, I'll always find objects such as rocks more intriguing. For the many people that have asked: Yes, I do have other clothes than Jayhawk gear, but I don't really prefer to wear those other threads very often!

Congratulations Hawks!

Ok, so here I am with my buddy, Bill Self,the head coach of the KU men's basketball team. He has lead my beloved Jayhawks to the Final 4! On Saturday they match up against the North Carolina tarheels. It should be a great game. I can't wait and I wish my friend, Bill, the best of luck. Every year my parents take me to Hawk talk for a little one on one time with Bill so we can sit down and talk Xs and Os. Below is the most recent picture of me and Bill. Rock Chalk Jayhawk! Yes, those are my first words!

14 months and counting...

I'm growing so fast.

I love my dog, Duce!

Our lil' daredevil. He loves climbing on things and swinging from them.

Helping my dad finish siding the house.

I love dumping out all of my toys and climbing into my toybox.

Happy Easter from the Manning Bunny!



We hope that everyone had a wonderful and happy holiday! We went to my Aunt Julie's house for Easter dinner and the Easter bunny brought me a new pair of Lebron James Nike shoes. I sport them really well.

Go Hawks!


I'm cheering very loudly today for my favorite team, the Jayhawks, to beat the Texas Longhorns in the Big VII tournament today. I daddy is really excited because he is going to the game today and mommy and I will be watching at home to see if we can see dad on tv. Go Hawks, beat those Longhorns and get that #1 seed!

Good 'ol Chady girl



My dad had a dog named Chase that he raised and as soon as she got old enough to know better she packed her bags and moved outta the house and into Grandma Linda's house. Sadly, she had to be put to sleep last weekend and everyone misses her. She was the smartest dog there ever was. She had a lot of love to give and one of her most favorite pastimes was playing ball at any time, anywhere with anyone. She will be missed. She had a good 11 years with us and was able to come spend some time at my house right after I was born, so I'm so glad I had that opportunity. We love you Chady girl!
My dog, Duce, already misses his buddy.

March is here...let's talk College GameDay



ESPN's College GameDay came to the Lawrence campus this weekend in anticipation of the big rivalry game between KU and those purple people. So my friend Preston and I went with our daddies up to Allen Fieldhouse to see what was going on. My mom also went and documented everything with the below pictures. Preston's mom, Kathy, was unable to come because she had to work, but we missed her presence. It was a blast!! I'll let the pictures tell more of the story.
