Veteran's Day & November Fun

We celebrated those who serve our country with a patriotic program at HES. Maisy was so excited to sing- she practiced at home all week. Notice Maisy is wearing her official ’Veterans Day’ skirt?? It's the same skirt she has worn every year for Veterans Day since Kindergarten- she is in 4th grade now! Hoping to continue the tradition next year!!

Halloween 2019

Halloween was 'divide and conquer' this year. Afton had a volleyball tournament in Coppell so Jeff went with her, while I go to trick-or-treat with Maisy. She was a super scary vampire - with real fangs!

Jeff's 43rd Birthday

For Jeff's birthday, we did a little 'stay-cation' at the Gaylord. After we dropped the girls off at school on Friday, we went shopping, had lunch out, and then got massages. We had dinner while watching the World Series and then popped in at the Glass Cactus for a bit. It was a nice little break!

Swan Lake & the Butterfly Flutterby

Several of the moms from Maisy's ballet school organized an evening at Swan Lake in Richardson. We had dinner prior to the show and then watched the Russian Ballet Theater perform Swan Lake. It was beautiful and the girls had so much fun! 

NCL, Pumpkin Patch, & Walking for Papa

Afton invited me to be a 'guest crafter' for her NCL meeting. (I know! I was honored she suggested me. lol. Teenagers!) So I worked with another mom to come up with a craft that would be meaningful and fun for 8th grade girls. We decided on bullet journals. I enjoyed spending time with her and these girls.

Maisy turns 10

For Maisy's birthday, Jeff continued his tradition of being a "Watch Dog" for her class. He spent the day in 4th grade with his favorite 10 year old. They had a good day together.

8th Grade VB, Homecoming Parades, and a Cabbage

Fall in middle school means a lot of volleyball. Afton was happy to be with her friends, but she really missed Coach Weeks this year. 

September 2019 Adventures

September is always fun and busy.

Cowboys Stadium & MP Cheer 2019

MP Cheer made our annual trip to Cowboys Stadium. This never gets old for Maisy- she loves it. She loves the cheerleader's locker room, she loves performing on the field, she loves it all!

Labor Day Weekend 2019

Who doesn't love the lake? We rented a 'transient' slip for the Labor Day weekend. We spent Friday on the lake (after a big rainstorm it turned into a beautiful night!), had dinner at Big Daddy's, and watched the Fireworks.

Jeff out-running a crazy storm!
