his first golf tournament




HC played in the Starburst tornament for the first time.  Oh his face just says it all!










I'm so happy Gary was able to take 3 mornings off work to be Hayden's caddie.  They are so  handsome and both just love the game.






They even took a few selfies for even though I was there every step of the tournament.





We all walked well over 10,000 steps each day of the three day event.  Actuallyyyyy Layla and I got a cart the last day, but walked a million miles the two days before.  It was fun to walk, but also fun to ride on the last day of the tournament.  




Here we go on the last day.


I love being a golf mom!  I have to thank Layla too for getting up early to support her brother!  She was up early walking with me and sweating like crazy to watch him play.







I'm thinking the golfer is getting onto the caddie a bit in this picture.  It was pretty hot the last day and tensions were high!













Two of the three days Hayden played with these two guys.  It's so fun to meet new friends on the course.




They had a fun time and I'm so glad that even though Hayden didn't get the scored he'd hoped for it was an amazing experience.  He knows he must work on his putting game before the next tournament.  He was on the green on almost every hole with two shots.  His putting game slowed him down.  He shot 57/58/57.  It don't think that is bad for his first tournament at age 9.  He's consistent!




This is the last selfie the guys took.  They were laughing so hard because like myself, sometimes when we take selfies we press the wrong button on the phone and turn the phone off.  Gary had done this several times and it was just so funny.

This Saturday is for clovers and food trucks


We had a fun time at the Food Truck Showdown here in downtown Waco.

We got dressed up in our green and hit the streets before the rain and storms blew in!



My favorite thing was the cheesecake egg roll.  It was amazing!!!!!


Of course we toasted with green beers and March Madness.




The storms rolled in and we stayed inside and listened to the rain pound the roof and windows.  We turned on our Amazon Echo and set it to 80's music and guessed at who sang each song.  It was a blast and we laughed and danced and enjoyed our kiddos and friends!

student of the month!


We are so thrilled that this guy is student of the month!


Gary and I tried to sneak into the gym so he wouldn't be suspicious, but he saw us and then I felt like he knew he was chosen. 





It was also pajama day!  He was so comfy!




We are two proud parents!!

Date night and a new place


I love being able to sneak away for a few hours with Gary to have dinner.


We have been wanting to try this new place in Waco, and Friday nights are perfect for date nights.
 


We sat at the bar for a drink and then headed to a table for dinner.  The bar was the best part in my opinion.  The drinks and chips were the highlight of my night.


I got some sort of beef fajita tacos drizzled with queso and it was only OK.  I was not impressed.  I usually love Mexican food, but this wasn't my favorite.  I think this is a good spot for drinks and then head to another venue for dinner time!



Gary said his food was pretty tasty.  He ordered one of their signature dishes and I think he's on to something.  They spend special time and attention on some things and I think that makes them better!

I've heard so many good things about Hecho and then to be disappointed bums me out.  I think my expectations were high from all the hype.  I will go back, but I just wanted to be blown away!  Haha!

Happy 9th birthday little man


This silly man turned 9 today, but he turned his birthday breakfast cake candle upside down.  He is such a silly prankster! 


Hayden decided he wanted Georges for his birthday dinner, so tonight we celebrate him at a fun eating spot of his choice.


Hayden chose yellow cake with chocolate icing for his birthday cake this year, but he saw a pecan cake mix in the pantry and we went with that.  It was mighty tasty!


I'm praying in this guys 9th year he will clear up from the eczema he's been fighting for so long.  I know moving to a nice new home will help him so much!  We love you HC!

Moving and Unpacking .... again!







I finished work mid-June and we packed and purged and packed and went to the water park.  That is about all we did.  I was ready to get us moved, but still want to make the beginning of summer fun for the munchkins.  

We didn't really unpack all that much in our rental house when we first moved back to Waco.  There were tons of boxes and totes we needed to move, but we also aquired  a little junk that we needed to go through. When you move a million times in 5 years you pretty much have the system down. ha!  I'm excited to get settled and unpacked in our new house.  The timing is perfect since I'm off work during the summer.  I feel like we have waited for this moment since we sold our house in Haslet.  It's time to unpack and settle in for the next chapter!

Last day of school!!!


I can't believe it is the last day of school for these two!

I'm thrilled for them.  They have worked so hard this year.  They have been super busy with soccer and volley ball.  We had activities every night for weeks and weeks and they did great!





 Hayden has one more year in elementary school.  He will finish out 4th grade next year.  I'm so excited for him!


 Layla is moving up to middle school.  She's our 7th grader!
 



 Goodness I just love my cuties!




 I survived my first year as a working mom.  I managed to find a way to keep us all fed and alive.  We all had clean laundry and a somewhat clean house!  It was a wonderful year for me and I wouldn't trade it for anything.  I'm thrilled I decided to go back to work!  




  

We are so ready to dive into summer!!

Ho Ho Ho!!



Today was the last day of school and Christmas break is in full swing!  The weather was wonderful outside and so these two silly heads were outside being goofy.  Guess who had her camera handy to snap a few pics?  Their mother of course!!!!

Who needs to mail out Christmas cards when your momma takes pics and posts them EVERY.SINGLE.DAY?




My guy needs a haircut and so that is on the list for tomorrow, but goodness I love these two!


Layla is so flexible...Am I right?


 We can't believe our first Christmas living back in Texas is finally here!!

We got baths today!!!



Lily and Daisy went to the groomer this afternoon and they got fresh baths, a haircut for Daisy and new collars.  They are feeling all fiesty and clean and ready for Christmas.  

We recently found out that Hayden is allergic to dogs. He isn't so much allergic to Daisy, her breed is hypoallergenic, but Lily sheds enough in a day to create a small mouse.  We know she is the allergen in our family, but we love her anyway.  She's our big black bear and we will clean like mad people to help ease his ezcema! 

Merry Merry from our Christmas puppies!

Oh Christmas tree


Sooooo....

Honestly I wasn't excited about putting up the Christmas tree in this rental home.  I had a day or two of being a sour puss having to decorate in a house I don't love.  

You know what happened?  

We decorated and now I'm in love.  

I love this little house all festive and bright for Christmas.  I love driving up to the house and seeing the big tree lit through the huge front windows.  I know we all have good days and bad days and good thoughts and bad thoughts.  I don't like being negative and I make it my mission to try to always see the bright side.  This time the bright side smacked me in the face and I deserved it!

I wasn't excited about getting a real tree this year because Hayden's eczema is out of control and I didn't want to add more allergy to his life.  We ended up getting a pre-lit fake tree and it's kinda fun.  I think it is a great idea and we can use it in our playroom in the years to come and get a real tree for the main living area again. 

Anyway, I'm excited about this year now and I know God will have us in our new home next year.  That will give me time to get a new tree skirt. ;-)  Goodness we need a larger one!

Friday Night Lights!


Last night we took the kids to their first Baylor football game!  McLane stadium was so awesome!  We all had a wonderful time even though we were tired from a week of school activities.  


The band was fun to watch before the game started.


We loved watching the Baylor Line run in too!


Baylor won and we all had a blast!  Sic'em Bears!!
