Telling on myself

Sunday we get home from church and our back door is open! I forgot to shut it when we left 3 hours before...OMG!

Yes, I play. You can't win...unless you play!

 Let's go 96 million.............

We have these moments usually once a week.

Taydem got a good picture of me napping!

Friday was another "W" in the books for the Lady Pirates. They swept Nacogdoches with a huge beaten! Tomorrow will be a big game. They are playing at Whitehouse. Whitehouse is the only other competition in our district besides Hallsville and we are going to their gym. Wish us luck!

Shout out to my brother-in-law for doing well at his fishing tournament this past weekend at Lake Fort! Eric and his partner (fishing partner, ha) ended up 5th place and won around $15,000 in prizes! So, I'm expecting a pretty good birthday present this year. Eric, it's October 9th!!

Shout out to my Momma! She is serious about eating right. In all my 30 years I have never EVER seen her turn away from sweets. And she is doing it now. Go Mom! She got a bad report on her Cholesterol levels and she says it's time to get it under control. And she's lost weight in the process....Proud of her!

This week is super-crazy-hectic busy for me! Let me break it down:
After work today I have a volleyball lesson at 6:00
Tomorrow we will drive to Tyler to watch the Lady Pirates after I get off from work
Wednesday-May have another volleyball lesson after work or going to Austin for my job
Thursday-MIRANDA LAMBERT CONCERT!!
Friday-If I don't go to Austin on Wednesday we will go on Friday, then if we get back in time we have a home game against Kilgore. I doubt I will make it!
Saturday: Spray tan at 8:15, work a luncheon at my church from 11:45-1:00. Then get dressed up for the Extravaganza! It's an event to help raise money for the Tatum Education Foundation. Dinner, drinks, dancing, silent/live auction! And it's a night to get all dressed up.
Sunday- Work the nursery at church, then Ally Austyn's 2nd birthday party!

A few pictures of Miss Sassy this weekend!

TGIF

My new favorite songs out right now:

All Your Life by The Band Perry

"Well, I don't want the whole world
The sun and moon and all their light
I just want to be the only girl,
You love all your life
You love all your life"

Boys From the South- Pistol Annies

"Yea, the first time I felt it I was only 16,
And he kissed me underneath the chinaberry tree.
Said "Goodnight darlin'," with a sweet southern drawl.
Man, I think I might just have to love them all –
My boys from the South."

Takin' Pills-Pistol Annies

"Ya we owe 400 dollars to the boys in the band
Gas lights blinking on our broke down van
We're living on truck stop burgers and fries
Crossing our fingers for a vacancy sign
Now who in the hell is gonna pay these bills
When one's drinking, ones smoking, ones taking pills"

I hope you all have a blessed weekend. Fall is approaching upon us...slowly, but it's getting here.

 I think this weekend I will get out all my Fall decor!

Thank goodness it's a Friday. Let's dance!

 

TV Fall shows are here. We watched The X Factor last night. I love reality and any kind of competition show . So far it's a lot like Idol. I'm sure I will continue watching it. I also started watching Revenge on ABC. I watched half of it then had to get Taydem in the bath and in bed. So I will watch the rest of it sometime this weekend. So far so good! Grey's starts tonight! The Biggest Loser and Dancing with the Stars early in the week! It's so terrible that I get excited about all these shows. All it really does is stress me out bc I feel like I can't miss any episodes. Thank goodness for DVR!

I am still giving volleyball lessons (thank goodness for extra cash!) and I love every minute of it. I'm working with three girls right now. We have Tay's gymnastics tonight at 6, then volleyball lessons right after. Tomorrow the volleyball team travels to Nac. I won't be making that drive to see a boring butt kicking game. We played Jacksonville on Tuesday and it was so slow and boring. So Friday night Tay and I will stay home and catch up on TV shows and laundry. Tuesday we will play Whitehouse at their place in Tyler. Now this should be another good game.

Trever is now playing on a fall baseball team called East Texas Prospects. It's a showcase team that will play on Saturday and Sunday's at different Junior Colleges in Texas. Lots of traveling headed our way. I think he's finished in November sometime.

We are having a "girls night out" next Thursday! I can not wait. Mom bought us all tickets to see Miranda Lambert in concert in Shreveport. We have the best seats: down on the floor, third row back! I love this lady and her new band Pistol Annies, who better be there as well singing! And yes, you better believe I will be rocking out to every song. Thanks to my Momma!

Here are a few random pictures. Happy Thursday!

My handsome nephews! Ashby, Aidan, Truitt and Tucker

Ally Austyn and Taytay

Um...Taydem's work of art

Another one bites the dust

And down goes Jacksonville

And this is Taydem at every home game. If the other gym has music then she is still probably doing the same thing. She doesn't have a shy bone in her little body and loves to dance. Usually the crowd is pointing their fingers and smiling at her instead of watching the warm-up. Of course, she loves the attention. I have to keep her off those poles though..... I'm sure they ask, "Where did she learn all those moves from?" So stay off those poles Taydem!

Get the Brooms out....

We "swept" Hallsville in 3 games! That's riiiight, 3 games! It's always even better when you kill them in their own gym! Leven was on a high all weekend long. Our girls played the best they have ever played. We all agreed if they had played like they did against Hallsville on those 3 losses we have, we would be undefeated right now. Every girl showed up to play that night. I hope they continue like this up until playoffs.

Here's the short newspaper article...dang Longview News Journal...we just killed those girls and this is all we get??

Leven fired up at the ref!

Nuff Said....

Big, BIG game today against Hallsville. Leaving work early to get a good seat! I will let you know the outcome Monday morning. Have a wonderful weekend.
