BTS Carnival

The biggest fundraiser for Maverick Football was their Back To School Carnival. Beau had to work it. Brian and I had to work it. Sis got to have fun.  It was a fun evening all around. :)

This was a different day, but the Wiener Mobile was at our grocery store! So fun.

And this is a fur baby sunning himself while his momma ate her lunch outside. The weather has been amazing lately. Such a mild August in comparison.

First Day of School 17/18

Summer is finally over.  Always glad to get back to a schedule. I think I must be one of those weird Mom's that like routine!  Don't get me wrong........it's nice to take breaks from homework and packing lunches..........but it's also nice to get everyone out of the house.........especially when you work from home!

Both kids are so easy to get up. They get going on their own, make their own lunch, get dressed and are ready.  With the occasional reminder to brush their teeth, they make things pretty easy for us.  Really very blessed with them when it comes to this.

Their first day of 4th grade and first day of high school was a success.  Bren likes her teacher, Miss Green. Miss Green is a first year teacher with a lot of energy, which is great!  Beau thinks high school will be better than middle school. He starts his day in Weighlighting  "class" and ends the day with Football practice.

Here's to a great year, my lovelies!  Make good choices - every day.

Here's some throwback first day of school pics that pop up on Facebook.  These bring such a smile to my face.

Beau is 14!

Doesn't seem possible that our first born should be 14 years old and entering high school. The memory of him being born and Brian and I feeling so lost and unprepared is still very fresh. It's a similar feeling to today trying to figure out how to raise a teenager.

But nonetheless..........we blinked and 14 years have already gone by. Only four more years will he live under our roof. Goodness!

He celebrated his birthday week going to lots of NBC baseball games. Getting balls and autographs from the Stars All Star team.

He also got to eat his favorite meals out and spent time with his buddies. Jumping at Urban Air, dinner at Emerson Biggens and then over to spend the night.  I think he had a good birthday. At least I hope he did. Our love to you on your birthday and always, Beau Charles. XOXO
