Rising Freshman Night

Elizabeth has been preparing her course selection guide for high school.  Tonight we took a tour of the high school during Rising Freshman Night.  She got to meet all the teachers, principals (her dad!), counselors and learn about all the clubs and organizations.  She is excited!  Can't believe our baby girl will be in high school soon!

Shadow Sunday

This is Sarah and her prayer partner, Lauren, who taught her Bible study class last year.  Yesterday was Shadow Sunday for Confirmation.  Sarah was so excited to spend the morning shadowing Lauren as she is also Catherine's Sunday School teacher.  They love Miss Lauren!  

Softball Banquet

 

Tuesday evening we enjoyed Elizabeth's softball banquet with her new team.  Above picture of all six teams in the organization.  She is front row in the center.  Elizabeth is ready to start the Spring season!  Go Twist!

Happy Birthday

 Yesterday was my 29ish birthday!  It started bright and early as Sarah had to be on the court by 7:30am for a basketball game.  Her team won so it was worth it!  Afterward I came home to lots of wonderful birthday presents!

 Elizabeth is a great teenage sibling wanting to get up early to watch their games!

 Eric gave me a gift card to the spa!  He's the best!

 After gifts we headed back to the court to watch William.  His game was exciting but he lost by 2 points.  :-(  I love watching them play even when they lose.

 We had a nice family dinner at Mellow Mushroom.  It is a new place on the square.  So good!  Sarah reversed the camera on her iPod to get a family picture.  If you look closely you can see our waiter is photobombing us!!

 Now we know why our waiter was so willing to take our picture!

 Then it was time for my Dairy Queen Butterfinger Blizzard birthday cake.  Best. Cake. Ever!

 Annual Silly Picture

Thank you to everyone for making it a fun and special day!

Happy New Year

 My Mean Green Eagles played Eric's Aggies in basketball on New Years Eve so we decided to take a family trip to Aggieland.  It's not often our schools play each other.  Since it was New Years we got a nice suite and made some special family memories.  Above picture of the kids at one of our many favorite restaurants in College Station.

 We went down early to watch the women's basketball game too.  William was chosen to be the Tip Off Boy!  He was so cute.  They announced his name and gave him free Taco Bell.  He also got an Aggie shirt and was on the Jumbo Tron.  Unfortunately, I did not take my camera on this trip.

New Years Eve day we attended the UNT vs A&M men's basketball game.  North Texas gave the Aggies a lesson in Basketball 101.  It was a fun game.  Eric was ready to go home but thankfully his football team somehow beat Duke that night and we had a happy ending to our trip!
