Super Bowl

Richard's football team wasn't overly successful this year but they fought hard. They had a 4-5 record but they fought to win their playoff game which landed them a spot in the super bowl. To top it off they played the super bowl at the high school stadium which got the boys hyped up!

Each team fought hard and played till the end. Richard's coach has said all year "You play till the end"...and he addressed that that statement is true in every life lesson. You never give up and that is what the Falcons have done. They WON!!! 20 - 14. What a season. It was so rewarding as a parent to see your child work hard for 3 months for something and be so proud of themselves. I love my little #11!!!!

Way to go Falcons!!!!

Football in the Fall

Today was the most perfect weather for a football game. Richard's team played at the big field today (the high school) and they have a perfect record there. They have a perfect record at the little league fields too but it's the loosing end. The weather was perfect, the score was perfect, and Richard even caught an interception!

Mimi even made it out to see the game!

Go Richard!!!!!!!!

Go Falcons!!!!!!!!

Halloween

Today was beautiful. The weather was breezy and cool and we had a blast.

Richard went out trick-or-treating with his friend so he wouldn't wait long enough for me to grab a picture. But here are the three girls all ready to go!

This is how we spend our family time on the weekends...SUMO wrestling!
Crazy, probably...

Priceless, oh yeah!

Great times, Great Friends

This past weekend, I got to celebrate my wonderful friend Christina's 30th birthday. Her husband threw a great party and we danced and ate and laughed like school girls. I even arranged for "our partner in crime" to come up from Houston and surprise Christina. The three of us worked together 2 years ago and then Angel moved to Houston. We have missed her and haven't seen her since she moved. It was a blast! Here's to my friends that make my life simplier and make me laugh through the hard days!

Love you guys!

me, Christina, and Angel!

Richard and his Euphonium (mini tuba)

So lately my house has been taken over by these low, loud sounds that might be passed off as sounds of gas but if you know much about my house, you know it is just Richard practicing his euphonium. The Euphonium is a mini tuba and he is doing really good at it. I have hopes of this being his new passion since it doesn't look like he will be able to play football after next summer.

Here is Richard and his Euphonium!

It's Fall, Y'All!

I love the Fall weather and all the activities it brings. And, if you live in Texas, you know that Texas Fall means football. So, we are celebrating another season with Richard playing football and loving sitting out in the cool sunshine on Saturdays. It is neat to see him growing up and he is finally not the tallest on his team...although he is close.

So here's the scoop on my Falcon...
