GO FIGHT WIN!

Audrey and Maddie enjoyed another season of cheerleading. Luckily, they got to be on the same squad again. They enjoyed painting signs, pizza parties, and the games.

The creek

We have a little creek at the end of our cul-de-sac. When the weather is nice, the kids love to go explore down there. They have found all kinds of treasures and creatures. Whitney took the camera with her, and took some pretty cool pictures...

Boys of Fall!

Football is HUGE in Texas. Like I even need to remind you. Well, Brandon didn't want to miss out, so he joined the team at school. He's had a fun time learning about the game and being part of the team. I am ready for a break from all the sports, but they sure had fun!

Xtreme, Angels, and Panthers! Oh, My!

We have three softball players in our house. So, most of our fall has been filled with practices and games. Whitney ended up on two teams this year due to some "conflicts" with one organization. Anyway, here are some cute pics of our athletes...

School Days

Audrey has been busy with piano, softball, and cheerleading this fall. She loves to spend time with her friends. Especially, her bestie Sariah! Oh how they will miss each other.



Maddie loves school. She has also been busy with softball, cheerleading, and piano this fall.



Maddie is in second grade and Audrey is in 4th grade!



Brandon is a seventh grader this year. He is also in all Honors classes and Spanish class. He plays the trumpet, and was on the football team this year.


Whitney is now in 8th grade. She is in all Honors classes and symphonic band. She just made All-Region Band. She was so excited to place first chair in the symphonic band for clarinet!

summer's end

I surprised Kevin for his BIG birthday by inviting our dear friends, Channing and Renae, up from Austin. We haven't seen them since Audrey was a baby, but time doesn't change anything it seems. We had a wonderful weekend with the Williams family!


Audrey and Julia really hit it off!


The boys got to go to a Cowboys preseason game. It's been a terrible season for the BOYS, but Kevin and Brandon still had a good time!


The kids with their cousins at the butterfly gardens in Dallas!



It was hillarious when my nephew, Bobby, took an unexpected swim in the yucky, and I mean yucky, pond. My sis is such a good mom! She jumped in and saved him while the rest of us were laughing!


We spent a hot day at the butterfly house in Dallas with my sister and her two kids. Loved this pic of Maddie trying to catch one of her own!



Brandon at scout camp!

It is always sad when summer comes to an end. We do welcome the cooler fall temperatures, football, softball, baseball (GO RANGERS)! I just wanted to finish up my summer postings and pictures. I sure have gotten behind...

Houston and Galveston

I decided to finally take the kids down to the coast for a few days. We stopped in Houston on our way down and toured NASA. They all loved it and keep asking when we can go back. We then went to Galveston. We spent the whole next day on the beach where we all got a little sunburned! We discovered all the jellyfish after Whitney asked if it was normal to have the water suddenly sting your legs. I then pointed out all the jellyfish. All of us were stung except for Maddie who was totally content playing in the sand! The next day we shopped on the Strand and did a boat ride to see the dolphins. It was finally time to go. We were sad to leave so soon, but now we know all the things we want to do when we go back. We then made our way to Battleship Park and toured the Battleship Texas. Brandon really enjoyed seeing that. It is the only ship left that was used in both World Wars. We learned so much, and feel so grateful to all those that lived and fought in horrid conditions so that we could have our liberties today! It was so amazingly hot while we were there! I am sure that the men that actually lived on that ship experienced even hotter conditions. Audrey and Whitney ended up getting sick on the way home from all the heat. If you ever want to see the Battleship, don't go in August unless you want to experience what the men may have experienced in southeast Asia!!!

Pool Time

We love swimming in our own backyard! We love having friends and family over for fun in the sun. Some of our best times are when we can just be together playing around and the pool sure helps us beat the heat

Scout Camp

Brandon enjoyed his first scout camp. They were gone for six days in the heat of July. Brandon loved shooting! In fact, he won the award for the most accurate shooting of the camp. He was thrilled! He also loved having no girls around for a few days!

Girls' camp!

Whitney had a fantastic time at Girls' camp this year! They went up to Oklahoma. It was hot, sticky, and fun! I think the best part for her was being with all her best friends!
