TWIN DAY FOR FIRST FNL

THAT WAS A LOOOONNNNNGGGG SIX WEEKS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.....44 FEELS GOOD

What a fun day being celebrated! I loved my snapchat filter....I'm new to Snapchat and had I known that you get a cool filter on your birthday, I would have gotten it a long time ago. 

The family all went to Pappasitos for dinner. Christina and Cam were there but Hudson was sick so Scott stayed home with him. And of course Grammy and Grandpa were there.

I love my Cowboy Cam!

44 doesn't feel so bad. I'm in the best shape of my life, am in a great place in my career, the kids are fabulous and I have a sweet guy who loves me and has provided me a great life. God had a fantastic path for me and I can't wait to see the rest of it.

FOOTBALL IS BACK!

We kicked off the first weekend of football with a cheer party at our house. Apparently the girls are having some trouble being nice to one another (so sad to me) so they needed some team bonding. We played a couple of games, ate some pizza, snaps some pics in the photo booth and tried to plan out the 3 pep rally (that was a total fail).

After the party, most of the girls went to the Willis scrimmage. My favorite Senior player Isaiah and my girl.

But the BEST part of the football weekend was being back at Kyle Field for the first home game. Luckily we won and after the previous week with UCLA I think all the Aggies in the country were apprehensive going into the game. And it should have been a blow out and we barely won. REGARDLESS, Aggieland is one of my favorite places to be.

Colson even posed for the picture with me....and smiled!

LABOR DAY FUN

Calli was able to celebrate her BFF Lyndsay before heading off to the Ranch for the weekend. The whole family.....including Tucker....and Isaiah.....all were present at the Ranch. Which made big daddy SUPER HAPPY! 

Tucker stayed in his carseat for MAYBE 90 seconds. It wasn't his thing. He prefers my lap.

We shot a few doves, explored the creeks and hills and rode 4 wheelers. The kids and I played games at night too which was a favorite for Calli and I. We made some memories just being together. It probably won't happen again this year because of Calli's cheer schedule.

GO AWAY HARVEY

..So this is what A LOT of rain looks like at our house. And when I say A LOT, I mean 49" of rain. Hurricane Harvey hit the Corpus Christi, Rockport area on Friday and by Saturday the rain had made its way to the Houston area and it kept raining....and kept raining....and kept raining. Homes flooded. Streets flooded. Schools flooded. Cars flooded. There were boat rescues ALL OVER Houston and I've never seen anything like it. 

Grammy and Grandpa came to live with us for about 4 days while we prayed like crazy that their house wasn't flooding. When we got to take them home on Wednesday, when we finally saw the sun, the DEVASTATION in River Plantation (their neighborhood) was heartbreaking! Hundreds of homes were destroyed. Thankfully Grammy and Grandpa's house was exactly as we had left it with NO water in it. PTL.

Unfortunately our friends, the Yorks weren't as lucky. The kids and I spent Tuesday helping organize donations in the local shelter and Wednesday helping to gut the York's home. We know BJ and Shannon York and love their 2 kids too who are the same age as Calli and Colson. They got 3 feet of water in their house and a small army showed up to help them get everything out, cut sheetrock, rip up floors and get it ready for a remodel.

School was closed for a week and a day for Willis. Other areas of Houston were closed for 3 weeks or more. And some schools had 8 feet of water and had to share schools. Kingwood HS flooded and had to share with Spring Creek HS. So Spring Creek goes from 7 to 11 and Kingwood goes from 11-3. Harvey wreaked havoc on our area.....he'll be remembered for many years to come, unfortunately!
