Weekend Fun!

Dan was out of town this weekend, so the niece and nephew came over for a sleep over to keep me company. They were so excited to come over!! We went out to eat last night and then came home and watched a movie. This morning we got up and I made the kiddos some pancakes and sausage. They ate all of it! Before we went to church they colored, played with the dogs(they really need one), and we even had time to go to the park. We had a great time and they even made it through church!!! WOOHOO!!! We met the well rested parents at a BBQ place and had lunch. Uncle Dan even made it back into town for lunch! Aaron looked around the table and said.....WOW its a family day! He is so cute! Well tomorrow starts another week! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

You sat where?

Dan and I were very lucky to sit right behind home plate at the Astros game on Wednesday!!!! I was so excited to hear that Dan's friend was not going to be able to make it to the game, and he offered us the 300 dollar tickets!(for free!) We had a blast! We even had a parking permit that allowed us to park right by the doors. We had dinner at the game with all of the high dollar people. It was very nice and great food. Everything was FREE!!!!! Best Astros game I have ever been to! Well I take that back even though Dan and I were in the nosebleed section we got to see Biggio hit his 3000. Speaking of Biggio, since we were on the second roll I had a nice view of him! Even though Dan and I were super tired we stayed for the whole game. Astros WON! Thanks Beau for the amazing tickets!

Toilet Paper Queen

Well she did it! I knew this day would come. At 8 months old Molly discovered the toilet paper!!

Well hunting season has started! Dan is so excited! He has been hunting for the past two days, and he will be going again tomorrow. Tomorrow he is taking Molly on her first hunt! Let's see how she does. Spec will be staying home.She is now retired.=(
Dan is happy with the lease he got on this year. Thank goodness! Seems like it is going to be a good one! He is off to Louisiana this weekend for a bachelor party. Hope he doesn't spend all my money! I am sure he is going to have a blast! He needs the vacation! Oh and I can't forget....He is so thrilled that the hummingbirds are back. He has the feeders all ready, and he saw one this evening. He looked like a little boy on Christmas! He is so cute! I love this man! Well this is the update on Dan the Man!

Choir Practice!

I am so lucky to work with such a wonderful group of people. Below you will see me with two other fourth grade teachers at our very first "choir practice". These girls are amazing and are doing wonderful as first year teachers. They survived there first week of teaching with no problems! WOOHOO! They have become two of my closet friends, and I can only image how much fun we are going to have this year!

Dogs everywhere!

For the past week we having been watching Gracie, Jill and Jacob's dog. Molly and her have been having a blast! Spec has enjoyed her time off! Molly and Gracie have not stopped playing all week long. Poor Molly wears out the fastest. She is use to playing with Spec! By the second day Spec was really tired of the two bumping into her, so she has made a spot for herself in mine and Dan's room. She comes out when she notices the two are napping. Here are some photos of the three beast! Enjoy!

Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of three dogs at the same time?!?!
