Pictures

Hello!  Hope I still have readers out there.. I know I haven't been very good with this.. I just don't know where the time goes at night!  I get home, do homework, cook and then it seems it is time to go to bed.  Well they past few months have also been very busy!  We have moved to Magnolia which we LOVE!  Zach started a new school.  Brenden started his 3rd year of SHSU (can you believe!).  Football season started.. oh and Tim and I have have been busy at work.  But we are all doing well.  I thought I would share a few pictures of what we have been doing.

Zach turned 9!  He had a Duck Dynasty party.. we had only been in the house 2 weeks..

Goodie Bags.. I made the stickers in Photoshop and bought the ribbon off of Etsy.

 I've learned how to make cake toppers in photoshop.. these were some of my first ones.. I'm so much better at them now!

I had set up a Photo Booth and did some props.

We got to watch our house be built.. here are a few pictures..

Sam Houston Football put on Lil Kats day again where the kids can learn from the coaches and football players.  Zach loves it.

 Zach with his favorite player Timothy Flanders.

When we went to Zach's open house before school started they had a table to sign up for the Pup Club.  Zach said he wanted to see what was, so we took him over and found out that it is for elementary and middle school kids.  They can run out on the field before the football game under the bulldog.  They got jerseys and they get in the game for free for just $25 which we thought was great.  Zach was so excited!  He loves getting to run out before the football boys.

 Last week when we went to the game Zach wanted a program.. he was excited to find his self in it... do you see him running.. middle left picture.

We've been going to the Sam games.. 

These were taken from our back yard.. we have deer every day in our backyard.. 

I have started making wreaths also.. 

So it has been a busy few months.. I will try to do better about keeping this up to date.

Jan 5 - Before the FCS Championship - SHSU vs NDSU

Saturday morning of the game I woke up with no voice.. well I had just a little but basically nothing.. really game day!  I couldn't believe it.. We got up early and went to Ihop to eat and then it was on to the stadium.  They had lots of things going on before the game.  We got there and got all bundled up because it was COLD!  Then it was on to the events.  Just like last year they had games set up and drills set up which Zach loved.  He went through all of them a couple of times.  We also got to welcome the players into the stadium and afterwards there was a pep rally.. then it was on to the stadium!

 

 

 

 

Christmas

Here are a few pictures from our visit with the Richmonds.. always good to see them!!

 

Our next Christmas was with Grandmaw, DziaDzia, Aunt Deb, Uncle Jon & Avery.  We all met at church and then came to our house for so Rudy's BBQ and presents!!

 

 

 

After they left it was time to put out the cookies and get ready for SANTA!!!!  We woke up early to see what he brought us.  Zach was pretty excited about his new bike and all the other things he got.  Brenden I think was excited to get money.. what more would a college kid want.. right.. Macy was excited to play with the wrapping paper.  We all also got new Sam Houston "Sammy" Tervis cups. 

 

 

 

Brenden left after we opened presents and Zach & I went to my aunt's house to celebrate with my dad's family.  We had a great time getting to see all of them.

Christmas Card 2012

Here is our newest Christmas Card.. I think it is cute.. made it in PhotoShop myself with a picture I got off of the app Pocketbooth - it takes photos like a photo booth.. I love it.. these pictures were done before a Sam Houston Game while we were tailgating.

 

 

SHSU vs SFA - Battle of the Piney Woods

Last weekend was the annual Battle of the Piney Woods at Reliant Stadium.  For the past three years that is where SHSU and SFA meet to do battle.  We decided we wanted to tailgate so we got there early and had a great time eating fajitas.  Ended up we had a couple park next to us that went to school at the same time I went and in fact the guy was in my major and the wife was in advertising which also was in my building.  We didn't know each other but we recognized each other.  Zach enjoyed getting to play with their son who was a year older than him. 

 

It was then time to go in and get the game started.  When we are at Reliant the band doesn't come in playing like they do at home but if we are the home team they will get to do their opening school song etc march.  Because they consider Reliant a neutral location we switch off being the home team.  This year was our year to be home team. 

 

 

 

 

The game was really good.. with SFA you never know how they are going to play and with us beating them pretty bad last year they could come and get revenge...

 

 

 

 

 

Oh a sign caught my eye... so proud of those Texans!!

 

 

We had a great time at the game and it was a great game that we won!!  Always good to beat SFA!!

 

 

 

 

Eat'em Up Kats!!

The first game of the year was last week against Incarnate Word which is out of San Antonio.  It was great to start football again!  This year we decided to tailgate before the game and that turned out to be a great idea.  We did Kobasas for the first time out, they were great.  We called Brenden and told him to come get some food and he did and brought his friend with him which Zach enjoyed because he played with him while they were there.  

 

 

 

Our SWEET new signs!

 

Brenden left so he could get ready for the game early so he could get ready for the game.  An hour before the game starts the band marchs our for the mini pep-rally with the cheerleaders.

 

Notice Brenden's orange glasses.. those would be his brother's.. he put them on when he was with us and forgot he had them on his head when he left so we had to trade them out before he walked in the stadium.

 

When they come in the stadium they march around playing the fight song.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Halftime!

 

 

 

 

 

 

And in the end we won!!!  It was a great first game back!!

 

My babies!
