Fall 2015

I can't believe its November 1st already.  These last 2 months have been pretty hectic but fun.   Halloween was yesterday and the kids had a blast as usual.  They celebrated their cousin Mackenzie's birthday party at the bowling alley and then they went trick or treating in the neighborhood.

On Wednesday, they went to the church carnival and had a blast.   

Daniel wasn't afraid to ride the pirate ship

     

Last weekend was Grambling's Homecoming.  We decided to go to the game to support my high school classmate, Coach Fobbs. This was the kids first college football game.  We had a blast despite the rain.

The first weekend in October was my high school homecoming.  I had not planned on attending this year, but I happened to be in town for my Mom's knee surgery. Special thanks to my sweet cousin Gwen for staying with Mom for a few hours while I hung out with some of my old friends.  My high school friends are the BEST.  I am so blessed to be a part of the Carroll High School/ Booker T Community Family.






























Last but definitely not least............. In September we celebrated Alyssa's 10th birthday.  Her birthday weekend was the same weekend as the balloon festival. She hung out with her cousins,  God sister and BFF.  Of course she had a blast because we made the weekend and her special day ALL ABOUT HER!!!!!  Daniel, on the other hand wasn't happy with us.  He thought we spent way too much money on Alyssa and he told us not to even think about doing the same thing for him. 

Yes, she went shopping at the American Girl doll store, and yes her brother was mad at her for spending so much money on a suitcase for her dolls.

Back2School 2015/ Labor Day

I can't believe that the we just completed the third week of the 2015-2016 school year.  The kids seem to be doing well.  We were blessed to have 2 teachers that we already know.  Daniel has Alyssa's teacher from last year and Alyssa has Daniel's old Kindergarten teacher ( she now teaches 4th). Below are a few pictures from the neighborhood Back to School Parade, Meet the Teacher Night and the first day of school.

I would like to publicly thank Elijah for holding the fort down  during the first week of school.  My work schedule was crazy and I was useless around the house and a little grumpy (just a little :-).

 Labor Day Weekend

 The kids had a road trip with their cousins this past weekend.  We loaded up the car and drove to Austin for the Lego Kids Fest.  They had a blast. We drove in on Friday evening and went to the Lego Festival on Saturday morning and then walked to the Capitol that afternoon. We went hiking Sunday in Dripping Springs (Hamilton Pool) and we headed back home on Monday. 

And Yes, I made them matching shirts for the Lego Festival.  I think they turned out pretty cute myself.
