Burleson...

I just realized I never blogged about our trip to Burleson, and even though it is out of order, I still want to include it! In the middle of September we went to Burleson for one of my former players wedding. I agree... not sure how I am old enough to have a former player get married:-) I actually started personally training this group of girls as 6th graders and then coached them in middle school. So great to see them, and aren't they beautiful young ladies?
This is a picture I took of them in 7th grade...
 
Our weekend was packed and unfortunately we didn't get to see everyone. I took some newborn pictures on Friday morning for the Wiedenfelds in Hurst, and then we drove over to Mandy's house. Our time together is never long enough. So great to see her, and I loved seeing the new beautiful house they built.

Our favorite 6,5,4,3,2,1,0 picture...
 They had a dirt pile in their driveway as they were building a play set...needless to say the kids loved it!

 I just love this picture. Micah climbed in bed with Meredith. I went in to check on them and Micah was watching Dora and Mere was asleep. We had such a great time staying with the Hembrees. Meredith was home for the wedding, and we stayed up late talking every night. Miss her!
 Oh Micah and Mason!  I thought they were taking a nap and went on to check on them. When I opened the door, they were gone. They were in the bathroom and Mason was putting makeup on Micah making her look beautiful. The picture doesn't do justice. Mason said he even painted her nails... with mascara! Not to mention, my cream pants were laid out in the bathroom under the area they decided to beautify Micah. Thankful for Tide To Go and Meredith who got all the mascara off Micah while I worked on my pants.
 One of my all time favorite people! Sarah and I coached and taught for 5 years together, and I just love her! We had the best night catching up with each other and our old players!
 The Pickens were so kind to watch all three kids while we went to the wedding. Mason just LOVES Drew, and says that he is his older brother. I picked up the girls after the wedding but Mason spent the night. They had a blast!
 After I picked up Mason, we headed to Arlington to meet the Caltriders for lunch. It was so fun to see them, and spend a little time with them. I am sure lunch with three tired kids might remind them they might want to wait a little bit to have kids:-) however, they love our kids well!



MOMCon...

At the beginning of October, I had the privilege to go to Louisville for the annual MOPS Convention. GiGi came to help with the kids so I could go. Every time I talked to Craig he just said how thankful he was for my mom, and that she was such a blessing! Yes she is! Couldn't have done it without her. 

Every year the entire Boerne MOPS steering team goes to the conference.  It was so much fun, and could not have gone any better! This time brought our team even closer together.  What an amazing group of ladies I get to serve with! 
Chrystaland I, MOPS Co-coordinators... Can you tell we only got about 10 hours of sleep the whole trip? I can't do that like I used to!








 Thank you GiGi! Reagan was just sad she was leaving!

Fall Fun...

My idea of the perfect Saturday...family, football, and pajamas...
Reagan loves to ask her daddy to read to her...
 This girl took the cheetos out of the HEB bag, off the counter, and tried to open them with her teeth...
 No more high chair...makes this mommy really sad!


 Our completed summer fun list...we didn't get everything quite done but we had an ambitious list. We definitely had fun!
 Such a special treat as Steph was in Austin and came over for the afternoon and dinner. Loved having her here, and the chance to catch up!

 T-ball entertainment!


One thing I love about Mason's school is the breaks. He had early fall break at the beginning of October. The girls had preschool so we had a special mommy date to Thin Air. Such a sweet time with my big boy!



Reagan calls every book Bible. She actually made one at church and was "reading" it in the backseat...
 The silver sparkle boots are back! {for like a day before it was back to 88 degrees}
 Tball fun...







 Love this shot...
 Not sure what I was thinking...

 My supermom outfit for MOPS...
 AWANA missionary night...all these kids memorizing scripture! Amazing!
 We had such a fun day at the zoo...Mason's favorite, the kamoto dragon...

 Reagan loves babies...
