Landons 1st Football Game! Go Ravens!

Landon started football a couple weeks ago and LOVES it!

Yesterday was their first game!!

Go Ravens..Russell #25

Bryan, Faith, Crystal, Myles and Skylah waiting for the game to start..it was sooooooo HOT.  2:00 games are going to be tough and we have like 4 more!!

Listening to coach pump them up for the game!

Jordyn, Justin and Skylah trying to stay cool!  ha

Ravens cheerleaders!!

Most of our clan...we had so many of our wonderful friends and family come out and watch him!

Thanks Nana, Corky, Skylah, Faith, Myles, Ajax, Nat, Jeff, Kate, Lissa, Mike, Jordyn, Quintin, Austin and Justin!!  We love you all so much!

Look at that face!

Playing tight end!

Our awesome shirts!!

When we got home and took off his pants, he thought it was so cool how dirty his legs were!  lol  You could see where his pants and socks ended!  lol

Oh he is such a boy ;)

We played the Broncos and won 7-6!  They all played so good!

We learned alot though...bring WAY more water, need a tent, and more sunscreen!  3 1/2 hours out in the sun at 2:00 in the afternoon is a scorcher in Katy!  lol

1st Day of school!!!

My baby is officially in the first grade!!

Isnt he so handsome?!?!

I love these shoes and was surprised he like them too! Enough to even wear on the first day! ;)
Me and my little man!
Skylah..Miss 3rd Grader!!
Just like last year, he went right in to his class and sat down! (the window is right by his desk and it was super sunny!)
His desk ;)

(and yes, I am that mother that takes a picture of it!)
All in all, he said it was a good day! I couldn't be more pleased with his teacher! She was a kindergarten teacher last year, so Landon and I both already know her! (and we think she is super!) She was actually the teacher that stuck out at kinder orientation last year (but we couldn't have been happier with Ms Jones!!) Now we got them both!

It seems like just a few months ago I wrote this post :(

Its bittersweet, because a much as I want him to stay little, it makes me so proud to see the little man he is becoming!

Hope all the kiddos and teachers had a great day at school today!

Happy 68th Wedding Anniversary!!

A few weekends ago we went to Lufkin for Crystals great grandparents 68th Wedding Anniversary!

Landon and Ajax on the ride up there!

Crystal with her great grandparents! They are such amazing people and it was so nice to spend this special day with them!

Skylah and MawMaw (her great GREAT grandmother!)Me and and my munchkin (you will notice this is the before picture!)

5 generations!! (and Landon! lol)

Crystal spent weeks making a slideshow of old pics and songs. It was so neat, but so sad. Everybody really enjoyed watching it :)

Landon has had a loose tooth for weeks now (his first one!) MawMaw decided to try and pull it out... Skylah had a loose tooth too, so I started trying to pull hers out...
and within 60 seconds I pulled Skylahs out and then turned and pulled Landons out!!
Corky brought them straight to the bathroom to rinse ;)

Silly Skylah not smiling! lol

This was #6 for her! (which 5 of them I have pulled out!)
My baby lost his first tooth! (hence the "before" pic earlier in the post!)

Lots more to update, but I thought I would start with this weekend!!

<>We had another weekend in Lafayette, started football, won a few giveaways, and have had lots of fun the last part of summer! More pics to come soon!!

Blogger has been acting funky on my laptop and not letting me rearrange my pictures. Hopefully that doesnt happen again and I can get caught up soon!

I've loved reading up on all your blogs though!!

Congrats to Stephanie on Baby #2...

Congrats to Kim and Travis on their recent engagement..

and April on the birth of Baby Hunter!!

Our over due 4th of July weekend pics!!

For weeks we had been planning a 4th of July camping trip with some of our friends. (nevermind the fact that it has been 100 degrees PLUS here everyday) Natalie talked me into joining them for just one night! I figured I was depriving my child by not going and I could survive one night!

After packing on Friday and getting all ready, we got a call from Jeff and Nat that there had been an emergency and they were leaving the campsite. I called them right back and unfortunately a child was missing in the lake. They had search and rescue there and divers were looking for the child :( I felt so awful that I had joked all week about trying to get out of this trip, but never imagined something like this happening. We have been searching onlin andcant find anything on the story. I'm hoping in my hert of hearts that it means the child was found and is ok.

So needless to say, I had a very sad little boy...but the Grauls invited us all over for the 4th to swim, drink, grill and spend the night!

He loves hanging with West and Sean and swimming now! Brooks throwing Landon (and Landon will tell you that he went in the deep end and swam by himself to the side..he is very proud!!)
Nicole and Landon

Oh yeah..dont be jealous..this is my best friend rocking the glowsticks!!!

Hanging out watching the fireworks!

Nicole, Gena, Natalie and Steph with the flash... and without the flash! (oh boy..we are such nerds!)

I think I could get used to "residential camping" Air conditioning, bathrooms, no bugs...my kind of camping! lol

We ended up having a wonderful time and met new friends! Landon forgot all about camping by the end of the day, hopefully he will last until fall weather before he asks again! lol

The next day we headed to the pool (again) with Bryan, Corky, Gavin and Bryan!

He is determined to give me a heartattack!!

Monday night, Natalie and I took Landon and West to the Astros game.

He made this sign at camp to bring with us!

Landon and West! (Landon looks up to him so much!)

We got there early to try and get autographs...we had great seats but snuck up a few rows to get a better chance!

Hall of Famer, Jose Cruz!! (they both got his autograph on their baseball!)

Happy boys!

Yummy ;)

The other autograph they got was Matsui's!!

My little Astros fan (I caught the Astros ball in his glove!!)

The 4 of us!

There you have it...I am just about caught up now! lol (by the time I get around to posting our trip to Lufkin last weekend and our trip to Lafayette this weekend I will be nice and behind again!)

Loving every minute of our summer...hope you all are too!!
