Halloween 2017

Our girl decided to do it up this year and go less sweet and more salty!  She was a Zombie Cheerleader. She loved it, and of course, I loved that she got into it so much.

These first pictures are from her class party. Always a good time at Maize South Elementary! The bug lady brought in her creatures to show, tell and touch.

And here she is ready to hit the neighborhood for some candy! Of course, Ribbie had to join in on the fun. He was a bat, although, it's hard to see his wings!

Fall baseball

Another new team. The Outlaws. Finally playing on a team with an ORANGE and BLACK color scheme. I do think I have some shirts that will match.

The team is being coached by Beau's Dad (!!) and a friend of ours who happens to be the Dad of Beau's best friend, Keaton.

They only played one tournament this year since these are all freshman and most involved in football with practice on Saturday's.  So they assembled the team to play this summer after their high school team is finished.  Little different "summer league" for us, I guess.   Where does the time go?  Little league was yesterday.

Brian Turns 42

I always like Brian's birthday.  Just means he is finally as old as his old lady.  Happy birthday to my 42 year old hubby!

Beau & Bren

Just a couple pics of the kids.  My heart.
The first one of Bren is she submitted a painted pumpkin of one of her favorite Book characters - from the book Robots.  This was at her school library. She was the first one to get a pumpkin submitted (of course she was).  We took this picture the night of her parent teacher conference - where she also excelled. This girl. What a superstar.

And this guy also hit a big milestone on September 29th, 2017. He received his restricted driver's license! Took him two tries, but the second time was a charm. Woot Woot! So proud of this guy.  And I cannot believe he can now legally drive with his parents.  Look out world.

And finally, we will end with Bren. This was her during her annual school fundraiser. It was a walkathon and walk we did in the crazy strong wind!

OSU Football Game #1

We were not lucky for the Cowboys today, but is always fun to take in a game in Stillwater, OK!

And then we snuck into Gallagher-Iba for a quick look!

Ribbie Turns 3

We celebrate all birthday's in this family and Ribbie Trey Grant is no exception. He turned 3! We love this four legged fur baby with all our hearts!

Freshman Football

Trying to find the right words to describe Freshman Football at Maize South High School, and I'm struggling to find the positive and optimistic words.  Lots of parent meetings, lots of meals, lots of hype around the Football family. Yeah, I guess there was that, but Freshman are definitely not a part of the greater team, and it was a bit of a disappointment. Now, that is my perspective. Not my husbands, not my son's. I think Beau struggled a bit finding his new position since Center is not going to be his role anymore, therefore as his Mom I really struggled embracing this new "community" we were thrown into.  He loved the camaraderie.  And our actual high school team was pretty good, but Freshman, while you may technically be in high school......um, well, let's see you next year as JV sophomores.

In any event, always proud of Beau. For going out for the team, for being a great team member.  Here's hoping he finds his way in Fall 2018.
