Updated pics!

I can finally upload pictures now...yeah! Here are some recent ones taken at Leven's volleyball game, Trever's football game, and moving out of our home in Mexia...

Taydem thinks it's so funny when she walks...she thinks she's so big now! The little boy in the picture with Danin is Samuel Willie. He had a huge crush on Danin when his daddy came over to help us move.

Weekend update

This past weekend was a very nice one. The weather was so awesome and you could just sit outside all day long. Leven won Friday night against Sulpher Springs. So that makes him 5-0 in district play. He is off tomorrow night but is going to watch Longview and Hallsville play.

My birthday is Oct. 9th and Leven has already given my birthday present to me. He gets so excited about giving gifts that he can't hide them until the right time. He did very good this year. I wanted some new perfume and he brought home a Coach purse AND some perfume...I was so suprised! I wasn't expecting a new purse at all. And he picked out a really cute one. We went to a wedding Saturday night. It was such a perfect day for a wedding...We could not keep Taydem off that dance floor. She loves to dance...it's so funny. She just started bouncing to the music that night. The dance floor was kind of dark and she kept walking right in the middle of everyone. She almost got stepped on so many times. She wore us out. But it was cute!

Pray that our house sells...we are hopeing it will this month!

What a week!

We have had bad news after bad news this week. The biggest news is our house didn't sell. The closing date on it was yesterday. We get a call on Wednesday saying the people wanted to back out. What the %$&*?? We were sick to our stomachs. Long story and lots of excuses why they backed out. Crazy stuff...but we will get the earnest money from them. So now it's back to the drawing board on that one.

Yesterday one of Leven's top players tore up her knee. He was sick again!! They say it's her MCL (i don't understand all that ACL, MCL stuff) and she could be back in 2 weeks, maybe! Thank goodness they are playing a weaker team tonight and they are off on Tuesday.

Taydem is still fighting off an ear infection that she's had for almost 2 weeks. I'm so freakin happy they decided to put tubes in. Trever's girlfriend broke up with him last night...um hello..we didn't even know he had a girlfriend. He said they just liked each other. He probably didn't know she was his girlfriend. I told him to stay away from girls at this age...they are CRAZY! She texted him saying she was crying her heart out...isn't that funny?? Young love...we've all been there...

So now I just pray that our weekend is much better than this week! Until next time...

Good news!

Last night Leven's girls beat their rival Hallsville. They were both 3-0 going into district, but the Lady Pirates pulled off the "W"! It was such an exciting game to watch. My whole family was there watching and cheering them on....my dad gets so into these games!

Taydem is walking around everywhere! It is the cutest thing ever...she's learning so much. I just want to eat her up!! Trever is a little "mac" these days. He's got a woman (we think)! Danin and I bug him about it all the time. He just smiles real big and acts like it's nothing. We saw them sitting together last night at the game. She's really pretty! Of course, taller than him...but hopefully not for long.

Bye bye...

Well we are officially moved out from our house in Mexia. Mom and I headed down Thursday after work and we got almost the whole house packed. We ran out of tape and newspaper so we finished the rest on Friday. I went and watched the girls play volleyball that afternoon. It was soo good seeing everyone again. Then that night Leven and I went to the football game. We made it right after half. He drove in after his game against Texas High (he won, 3-0 in district now). Then Saturday morning we got the U-Haul and began loading. Thanks for all the help it only took 2 hours!! I still can't believe we fit our whole house in there...plus three other cars were packed to the max! It was sad leaving Mexia...that was our first home together as a family.

Yesterday my brothers, Mom, Dad,sister, and sister-in-law met us at the storage unit and helped us unload. So blessed for family...

It's about time...

Well finally got our power turned back on yesterday. Thank goodness! I love my parents and all but I was so sick of packing a bag every single night. This afternoon we head to Mexia for a fun filled weekend of loading up our house. If anyone wants to help us move...just come over to Huisach St. Saturday morning!!

Power please?

Well we are still out of power at the lake house...so we are shacking up with the 'rents. And that is getting really old. There was so much damage done by Ike in East Texas. I couldn't believe just how much. The winds here got up to 57 mph...isn't that crazy?? So tons of trees came tumbling down all around us. The lake got hit really bad...that's one reason why we don't have power yet. Tree after tree fell on power lines. I hate that this has happened to everyone...things like this always makes us closer.

This weekend we are heading to Mexia to pack up our house. Mom, Tay, and I are going down Thursday after work and the rest of the crew will drive down Friday after Leven's game. We have a lot to do ahead of us...

Leven plays his 2nd district game tonight against Marshall. And on Friday he plays Texas High!
