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!

We drove up to Frisco, Texas to see our bearkats go up against the bison of North Dakota.  Friday was the alumni party.  This year was better than last they had it at a different hotel and it was in doors which was much better since it was pretty cold outside.  We didn't stay long so we could get back to the hotel and get some rest.  But it was fun getting pumped up for the game even though I was starting to loose my voice!

I don't have a picture of Brenden.. that is a long story.. and that is ok..

Today Zach went to see the bearkats leave for Frisco, Texas to play in the NCAA FCS Division I Championship against the same team we played against last year.

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!!

 

 

 

 

SHSU vs Baylor ... yes you read that right..

Well this year we will be facing two big school's.. Texas A&M and Baylor.. last week was the first of these and it was Baylor.  We decided to go up really early and do some tailgating... well we were there so early that we were the first bearkat fans!  They weren't even sure where to put us.. but we found a great place and later we had many bearkat fans around us.

 

Halftime.. look at that score!

 

 no Brenden.. They didn't bring the band with them..

 

 

 

In the end we fell apart in the last quarter.. it was sad to watch because we played so good the whole game. But as Tim said when you have held down the big boys for a long time it is hard to keep holding them down.  I hated for them to lose and Zach really took it hard but I know we have the rest of the season still.  I'm still very proud of how they played!!
