Water

This past Labor day weekend, our time was spent most, in water! :)

Friday evening, as you’ve read.. Matt and I attended the Longview/JT game. On Saturday, Matt and I loaded up and headed over to Tyler, for a quick lunch at one of our faves, Julian’s! After lunch, we met up with Cody and Mel and the kids, and headed to my mom’s boyfriend, Bubba’s, house on lake Palestine. H&W (where my mom works) was hosting their annual “Poker Run” on the lake. The event benefits MDA, and all the proceeds go to help Jerry’s Kids! The idea, is you start out at a check point on the lake, head to five different spots on the lake, and get a card. At the end, everyone meets back up to show their cards (which are hidden in envelopes) and whoever has the best hand, wins! This was our first year to attend, and I have to say we all enjoyed it!

At Bubba’s, we joined my mom and bubba, as well as bubba’s son Taylor, his wife Coral, and their boy’s Hunter, Caleb, & Eli.

Heading out..

The weather was PERFECT, temperature phenomenal, so we decided to stop and take a dip..

waiting to see how our hands faired.. they didn’t! ;)

here’s the best pic I could snag of bubba..

After we lost, we all headed back to bubba’s house for dinner and visiting. Sunday, sticking with our water theme.. Matt and I awoke, got ready, and headed to the big city of Diana, to witness my brother, Cody, get baptized!! Oh how proud I am, of the man and father he’s become! Love you Cody! After church, Matt and I headed back over to Tyler, this time to his parents, on Lake Tyler. We met up with MeeMaw & PawPaw, Jerry & GiGi, The Funder5, and Mikki’s best friend from high school, Kirsten and her son Hayden, for some good ole’ holiday fun. Yummy burgers, PawPaw’s FAMOUS homemade ice cream, and fun in the sun! Late that evening, PawPaw hooked up the tube, and Clara and Hayden enjoyed their first ever tube ride!!

Mikki & Kirsten decided to take a spin around the lake, and they had SO much fun!! It looked like a blast, and I was quite envious! Matt’s back had been hurting that day, and it was getting dark, so I didn’t speak up, but man, I can’t wait for my turn!

Monday I spent much of the day just hanging out, enjoying my day off from work. I cleaned while Matt played golf, and hey..caught up on my bloggin! :) I’m really going to try to do better! :)

Until Next Time!

Boys of Fall!!

Fortunately, Fall finally feels like it’s here, and I can’t even put in to words how happy this makes me! Fall=FOOTBALL, and there’s nothing better than, The Boys of Fall!!! :) September has brought down temperatures, pre-season football, and the beginning of Brennan’s flag football days!! Yep, that’s right, Brennan is on his first ever flag football team! Last weekend, was his first game, and I couldn’t wait to attend!!

Have you seen anything cuter, than that sweet skinny thing??!!

BRENNAN’S FIRST TOUCHDOWN EVER!!!!!

Sweet Sister cheering him on..

Demi’s first cheerleading Gig!! Oh..can’t you just see this for the next 12 years!

Talan & Addi..just waiting their turns..

..and even better, here’s a video of ONE of Brennan’s FOUR touchdowns of the game! :)

Can we say Superstar??!! Oh how fun the next 11 years are going to be!!

Concluding with more football, Matt and I attended our first Longview home game of the season this past weekend. Let’s just say the Bo’s have a looonng way to go, if were making it to State this season! Longview lost to John Tyler 28-14, and it was just poor pitiful sad.

This week also marks the FIRST week of the official 2010-11 NFL Season, and Matt and I’s, 4th year of fantasy football! Wish Brennan luck, wish the Lobos luck, ME luck, and wish these guys’ luck!!

Until Next Time! :)
