Turkey day has started

This weekend was a very relaxed weekend. Leven got home from Austin Saturday afternoon and that night we went to Buffalo Wildwings to watch TECH vs OU with another couple. We had a great evening with them! TECH sucks!!

Today at work we had our company picture taken and we are having a Thanksgiving dinner later for lunch. Everyone brought all types of good things. I made mashed potatoes and I'm going to get Jucy's beans here in a little bit!! Oh so good!! I will defintely make it to spin class tonight after eating all this today!!

Dancing with the stars tonight! I don't really know who I want to win. I really like Lacey and Lance....

Little Dribbler

Trever had his first basketball game last night. He did so good!! He's on the A-team and plays pointguard. Leven wasn't there so I had to chase Taydem around the whole gym. That girl is so busy these days. She thinks she is way older than she is...this weekend we are hanging around the house...of course, watching some football!!

Spin what?

Since joining this new gym here in Longview, I've decided to attend some of the classes they have offerd. So last night I thought I would check out the spin class. OH MY GOODNESS! After being in there for 5 minutes I thought I was going to die. There was no way I was going to make it 45 minutes. So I told myself, leave after 20 minutes. The next thing I knew it was over! I loved it. My goal is to have a firm butt and tone legs by next summer. This class ought to do it! They say you burn 500+ calories doing the spin class. I recommend it to anyone...

Mexia update

So we went to Mexia this past weekend for a visit. We stayed with Leven's mom on Friday night and his dad on Saturday. We got to his mom's a little after 8 and they had some ribs waiting on us. We had a good time with them, but we had to leave early on Saturday for a busy day ahead of us. I had a baby shower to attend at 10 for Kimberly. She got sooooooo many cute outfits! Mallory will be set for some time. Her baby room is adorable! Leven visited the Brizendine's while I was there. That afternoon we went to his dad's and had chicken spaghetti that evening before heading out to The Falcon! The Brizendine's kept Trever and Taydem occupied for us. There's nothing like The Falcon. If you are ever driving through Mexia stop by and have yourself a drink. Yesterday we had breakfast and lunch with his dad and then headed on back to L-view. Let's just say we all gained a few pounds while being there...good food! So tonight it's off to spin class....I'm loving the new gym I joined. They also have a daycare where I can keep Taydem while I'm sweatin' it up!! So fun!!

A new little baby

So 1 out of 6 of my friends have had their baby. Lacey gave birth to Addyson Elizabeth last night around 10:30. She weighed in a 7 lb. 9 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long...heathly little girl. I am going to visit them at lunch. I can't wait!

We are heading to Mexia this weekend for a visit and for ANOTHER baby shower! I can't wait to see everyone...

Our house process is moving right along. We have a loan for the building process so far!! Yea..this will be a new experience for both Leven and I.

Chelsea I really do like the new do!!

Trever's big day

Trever had a birthday last Saturday (8th) and turned the big whopping 14! He went to visit his mom over the weekend so last night we went bowling with the family. Darin and his family were there, mom, dad, and danin. We really had a good time. We all hadn't been bowling in like 10 years. Trever got racked up on some new clothes and shoes....good times. It's hard to believe it's been almost 4 years since the first time I met him. He's really starting to get taller now and develop...haha! It's only starting...

Happy Birthday shout outs to Kimberly Meyer, Kendle Brizendine, and Danin Anthony! They all have birthdays this week....

Here are some pictures of Taydem at the Tatum football game last Friday. The little boy is Lance Pharis' son, Tyvan.

Coach of the Year?

So last night Danin, Brandi, and I made the trip to Mesquite to support Leven and his team. What a game! I never wouldv'e thought they would take Waco Midway to 5 games, but we did!! We won the 1st and 3d, but lost in the end. They really worked hard together, but Waco had a little more pull. I'm so proud of my baby for all the accomplishments he made with this team. Leven is a great coach and this season really shows it. I think he deserved "Coach of the Year" not someone else.... I'm sure all the players and parents think so as well...so now it's time to keep rooting for the Mexia LadyCats...

Here's a few pics from last nights game...the guy in the picture is Bradley. He has been following Leven's team for about 10 years now. He was a huge LadyCat fan (and still is), but since Leven moved he now has some Lady Pirate in him...He's great!!

Finally home

I've been in Austin since Monday for a convention for my job. The Railroad Commission was having a training session. I'm so glad that I got to go. I needed some more training on all this stuff that I'm doing. There were 4 of us that went and we had a really good time together. We got into lots of good food and tons of shopping. Monday night we went to this new mall is Austin called The Domain. Let's just say for me it was a lot of "looking." Too many fancy stores for my budget. I did go into Macy's and they were having a huge sale. So I bought Taydem a couple of things, Trever a couple of shirts and did a little christmas shopping. We then went and ate at the Hula Hut on the lake! Tuesday were a lot of classes and then that night we ate at The Melting Pot. That place was an experience for all of us. It took about 2 hours to eat our course. I had never eaten fondue before and after that I can say it was pretty good. The cheese and dessert was by far the best part. After we ate we walked down 6th street for a little while, and ventured off into Pete's Piano Bar. Now being a Tuesday night there wasn't that many folks in there but we still enjoyed the music. It took forever to get home yesterday. We ended up stopping at the outlet mall in Round Rock for some more shopping. I finished buying for Trever's birthday and bought a few more christmas presents. I drove the whole way home (I was flying) and got us home in less than 5 hours. I missed my Taydem! It was good to be in my own bed with my hubby....

Leven plays his 2nd playoff game tonight in Mesquite against Waco Midway. He won Tuesday against Kilgore. So good luck Lady Pirates!
