Little Moments

This is a former student of mine Jonathan after Bowie won the district championship game. He invited me to come and watch him play and so Luke and I went to the last game. It was such a good game and Jonathan made an awesome catch that involved 25 yards and jumping over people:) He is Luke's new hero! Such a smart kid and he was so good to Luke. Took him down on the field after the game for the school song and pics. I can only hope Luke turns out to be as good a kid as Jonathan. He reminds me a lot of him, except when he leaves class to eat candy out of his backpack and tells people I'm the devil:)


Another former student Greg Pickney, he was also a favorite kid! I felt REALLY old at this game!
Luke on the field singing the Bowie song, we won't tell PCA!


Here is Luke's class on their field trip to Old City Park in Dallas. This picture cracks me up, half of them are looking away, making a funny face or covering up their face, that's first grade for you.

This is the old school building. They had a "teacher" who told the kids all about school in the good ol' days. Luke was being bitten all over by ants he had rolled in right before we came in this building. I kept shhhing him everytime he raised his hand to get my attention. I was busy snapping pics! I felt REALLY bad when I found out why he needed me and how many bites he had:(


Luke and Heather at Alley Cats during Farrell's PTA party. Can you tell Heather is in fourth grade, she may catch up to Luke one day... A girl can hope!



Luke's school did a musical called King of the Jungle. Grades 1-3 participated.

Here is Luke and best bud Parker. I guess that Parker is a vegetarian tiger or he just doesn't care for giraffe meat.



Luke received his orange belt in karate last week. He loves doing karate and seems to do really well. I mean I can still kick his butt but he tries a little harder to resist the force that is strong within me:)



You don't want to run into these three in a dark alley! Seth, Nick and Luke are all in class together and play football together. I'm sure they pay attention in class though, Mr. Stallard doesn't play!!






Very impressive isn't it............



Well football is finally over and we had the end of season party today at River Legacy Park. It was fun, Matt grilled the hot dogs and the moms played the boys in a powder puff game. Well of course we won and rub their little faces in it!


Parker's mom Jamie and I are discussing our game plan... well okay we are talking about the other moms and how we are going to have to pick up the slack! Jamie came through with a touch down and I pulled some kid's flag after he tripped over my foot and fell down in front of me:)



Here is our favorite time of day......... night! Good night to all may you sleep as well as a tired 6yr old!

The Three C's (camping, candy and Carrie Underwood)

Carrie is the last thing I'll blog about but she is so cute I thought I'd put her pic up for you to enjoy first!


Uncle Buddy joined us for a night when we went on the annual camping trip! We went to Fairfield Lake State Park this year and it was a BEAUTIFUL weekend.

Uncle Don is feeling better after his back surgery. He was back to his playful self on the trip.



I think Luke and Cameron go camping just to play in the fire!

The boys are going on their "walk", where I'm sure Granpa lets them do all the things that Sally and I say no to~


This is last year's walk, my how they grow~


I'm pretty sure this is the last year Luke will pose as a scarecrow, Matt hasn't seen this yet:)


Luke was a Storm Trooper this year, this is his cool pose. We went to trunk or treat at church and then went to a friends neighborhood to trick or treat.

Luke always looks for Miss Lynn, she gives him extra candy.

Bhealor and Ella joined us at church, everyone raked in the candy.


Here is my team on Storybook Character Day, we were Snowmen at Night!

Well my mom flew me home last weekend and took me, Sally, Cameron and a few of her friends to see the Carrie Underwood concert. Now I have to tell you she is a little obsessed with Carrie and is a fanclub member, which led to us having really great seats:) Little Big Town opened for her and they were so good! This was Cameron's first concert and he got to touch Carrie's hand three times. He'll be disappointed at every concert he attends after this!


We had a great time and I had the best weekend of sleep in recent memory:)

Party in the Pool!

We have spent a lot of time in the pool this summer. We have gone to quite a few swim parties and to some friend's houses during this long, hot summer!








Sam had some friends over to partake in her new pool a few weeks ago. Tracie giving luke bunny ears, or are those devil horns:) Allie, Sam and Kristen are in the background.







Becca and Ella were chillin' with Ella's little float. She is the best baby. She reminds me of a girl Luke, well even Luke wasn't as calm and happy as much as Ella!





Andrew or "Drew" as he is called, is so cute! He was so content to float in his little boat and throw his hat into the water and chomp on it! He is a little Cody mini me! Those Hogan kids are lookers!







Tracie had a ball playing with Darby, she kept Trac on her toes!




This is Darby's little brother Shepard and his mom Angela. He was so funny, he did not want to get into a float or be put down. That's Leslie in the background thinking,"Thank God I have dogs!":)



Kristen got her excercise motoring Andrew around the pool!





We aren't sure if Luke will be the next speed swimmer in the Olympics or on the water ballet team!
