Oh my goodness. We had a great weekend. The Texans won the game on Saturday 19-0. The boys did such a great job and played with their heads and their hearts. WARNING< SHAMELESS BRAGGING ABOUT TO HAPPEN! Jeff had 2, count'em 2, touchdowns. I posted a pic of him running toward the end zone but I was so excited jumping and screaming I totally missed the shot of him actually making the touchdown. Oh well there is always next weekend. I also posted a pic of our team bus. I thought my California peoples would get a kick out of it. We take our football serious here....we want our boys traveling in style to the games!
I wanted to let everyone know Hannah made it home safely from her retreat. She had a great time canoeing, hiking, and making friends. We are truly blessed that she was able to attend Bracken for high school. I do not want to even imagine what it would have been like at the public school for her. I along with my husband came up through public school and exited fairly unscathed but I am so thankful Hannah has a choice.
Until next time, have a great week.

Very cool!

Hannah left for a mandatory freshman retreat yesterday morning for 2 nights and 3 days. It is at a christian camp about an hour or so outside of San Antonio. It is through her new school and I think it is such a cool thing. Her freshman class is about 50 and they go on this retreat at the beginning of the year to get to know each other. They swim, hike, canoe, have bible studies and fellowship with one another. The school understands that not all will be fast, close friends but they want to foster a sense of belonging and compassion within the freshman class. Hannah is loving her new school and was very excited to go on this retreat. If you know Hannah she doesn't get excited about much! :) I just thought this retreat was a very cool thing and you would never get this in a public school.

Weekend Update

Well, we survived Ike. Not only did we not get any rain but we had a record breaking hot day! 101 degrees! I went to home depot on Friday to get paint and I had to dodge the people who were stocking up on flashlights and tarps for the rain that never came! I found out Thursday night that school was letting out 1/2 day on Friday due to the possibility inclement weather......this is Texas fools......we always have the possibility of inclement weather. Okay, I am done on that subject.
On to the football game......WE WON!!! WOOHOO!!! It was a great game. We won 7-0 in overtime. Very exciting stuff. Our boys played hard and smart. Last week the boys had over 100 yards in penalties but this week only about 15 and 10 of those were coach caused!! Enjoy the pics and stayed tuned for more.

Yes, he does exist!

First of all I need to start this blog off apologizing to my very dear friend Lori. I have given her a hard time about not commenting on my blog and she has now done so. Not only that but actuallt sent me a real email!You know I love you Lori!
Okay, so now to the meat of my blog. Several people have commented to me that they do not believe I am actually married as they have never actually seen my husband. Jason works very long hours to keep his family in their accustomed lifestyles, yes we are spoiled. He may not be at practices or lessons but he attends every game and show that his kids are in and he is there whenever I need him to be. I posted a picture if y'all still don't believe me!!
Now for a football update. We lost our 1st game this past Saturday. The score was 12-7 and it was a heartbreaker as we should have had them. It was 97 degrees in the stands and 105 on the astro turf field, perfect South Texas football weather. Jeff had some good tackles and some great blocks and as always we are very proud of him. The one thing about Jeff is he plays every down with heart and fire. Better luck next Saturday Texans.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Aaahhh....back to school. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Mom gets to go to work and not worry about the carnage she may find when she gets home. Kitchen carnage, living room carnage, gameroom carnage, or bodily carnage. If you know my kids you know all of that is very possible. Not only is there less bickering between Hannah and Jeffrey but there is less between them and me. The house stays much cleaner when they are gone for 8 hours a day! Jeffrey is at Specht for his last year there. He started the 5th grade! Holy Cow! As the upper classman he is king of the school and loving it. Amazingly he likes his teacher and is excited to do good this year. He is quite busy with the homework and hours of football practice each week. Hannah has started private school this year. She is in 9th grade....a high schooler....I have a high schooler! WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN!! She loves her new school and has made some friends but does not like the uniforms. She'll get used to it soon enough I'm sure. I love them. No more arguing over what she is going to wear.
Enjoy the pic of them from the first day of school.
P.S. Lori-I'm still waiting for a comment! :)
