WHO TAUGHT ME HOW TO FISH?

So I went on a work event where we spent a day bay fishing. Guess who caught the biggest fish of the entire group….about 20 people?? 

THIS GIRL!!! 25 3/4" 

This one was oversized and I didn't have an oversized tag so I had to throw him back . 

But there were others I caught that were keepers! I think I might be invited back.

I HAVE A 5TH GRADER AND A 9TH GRADER

I can't believe the summer flew by and I now have a 5th grader….last year in Elementary School and a 9th grader…..HIGH SCHOOL! I just know it's going to be a great year! 

Colson's teacher is beautiful and fun and I think we are going to be good friends!

Calli barely let me snap this picture at the donut shop before school.

She did her first cheer event at Meet the Kats on the first day of school at night. A fun little pep rally style event! 

BECAUSE EVERYONE LOVES TO HEAR HIGH PITCH SQUEELS

The Friday before school started, I tortured myself by taking Calli to the 1Direction concert. I was suckered into buying the tickets for Christmas because her friend invited her and later after I told her yes she could go with her friend, that I had to buy the ticket. And not only that but I had to buy myself a ticket somewhere else because I wasn't just going to drop Calli and her friend off at Reliant and pick her up later.

So Lisa (the other mom) and I sat in the nosebleed while the girls sat on the floor.

I think Lisa was really excited about going….I didn't even pretend that I was. They put on a descent show I guess. However they are British so they talk in a really cool accent. But when they are in a HUGE arena filled with screaming 11 to 17 year olds, it was really hard to understand what they were saying. The crowd would SCREAM when they said Houston and any kind of pause. I don't think anyone knew what they were saying most of the time.

Not only were there screams, there were tears and full body shakes by some of the girls around us. It was quite comical. Several times one of them in the band would say "You look beautiful" and there were a couple of girls in front of us that I seriously think they thought the band was talking specifically to THEM!

I survived!
