Brenley

Bren is off to a great start to the school year.  She is scary smart, but the school seems to be finding ways to challenge her and she is in an accelerated reading group and math group. She quoted to us the other night...."I'm the smartest girl in math because I am the only girl in my math group and we are going over stuff the other kids aren't even able to do."   

Her behavior is also been tremendous and because of that she has gotten a few special awards. One of which is she gets to eat lunch in the classroom and pick a friend to eat with her.  This was her second time doing this, and she chose her friend Brody from another classroom. She has known Brody from Northridge days. Brody's Mom is currently battling cancer so she thought her friend needed something special done for him.  She has a heart of gold.

Now, don't get me wrong......she will turn on you and the evil with spew as her stubborness and independence rear their head. BUT......her good and great far outweigh her outbursts.  She will be a challenge, no doubt.  My main concern is that we instill in her the confidence that she needs to speak to others even with her stutter.  That she knows it's okay to be smarter than other girls and boys.  That it's okay to like to build things and create things with your hands....and not play dress up with dolls.  She is an amazing mind.  Can't wait to keep cultivating her interests and see where she goes.

Oklahoma State Game

It's been a long time since we were able to go back to a game, and this was a great one to see!  Not only was the ending of the game VERY EXCITING, but we were able to watch it from a suite room, and go down to the field before game time. It was a very neat experience that we were grateful to have and experience with Beau. I love the Cowboys!



Getting basketball players autographs!


Keaton Page!

That football toss was too easy.

Suite Life


We were down on the end where the Wildcats were warming up. Big boys that close up!


The man. The myth. The legend.

State Fair 2015


Mommy wasn't able to go with the family this year, but that didn't stop Dad and kids from having a great time. To enjoying the yummy food, riding the rides, playing games, winning prizes, and face painting......it was a GREAT DAY!




Brian said she LOVED the art gallery.

Ribbie is ONE!

Just like any baby's birthday, we celebrated, because our puppy baby turned ONE!

We love this dog to pieces, and while we haven't even had him a year,  we definitely celebrated his 1 year birthday with cake and a party!  It's what any special puppy deserves!

He brings us so much joy and laughter and love. Happy Birthday, Ribbie Trey!




And here is Mom trying to make Beau eat a doggie cake!

And here sister is ready to give him a bath before his official party.

Just our sweet sleeper.



He loves to ride.  Loves to ride with the wind in his face.

Letter

Brenley wrote this letter to her 1st grade teacher at her old school. She didn't want Ms. Vernon to worry about her when she didn't see her this school year. I'm mailing it for her this week. 

She wrote this letter ALL by herself. If she knew where I kept the stamps, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have even know she wrote or mailed it. 

This girl.....

First Middle School Football Game in the Books

And the Maize South Mavericks Won!
The starting center  - #56 - did his job well.
He even was one of the Captains for the evening.
So very proud of our guy.
