Texas Tech for Teague

Teague applied to Texas Tech the moment it opened on August 1st. He wrote a great essay and had strong recommendation letters so I’m hoping he gets in! 

Teague finally heard back after a month. He’s going to be a Red Raider! 

Koby’s new career

Koby has jumped into teaching and coaching this year at Riesel. We have been able to attend a few games now and it seems like he has found such a sweet community that supports him and a great group of coaches to learn from. I think he’s learning that teaching and coaching is a lot of time, but it is also so rewarding! It’s been fun watching him grow in this next season of life. 

Last first day of school

Teague’s last first day and he chose to start the year in a Texas Tech shirt. He has a great schedule with a lot of his friends and I think he’s going to have a great year! He already taken his senior year book photos so I think it’s really becoming real to him. 

I started year 14, year 6 at Axtell, and my 3rd year in dyslexia. I still love this position and the people I work with. I’m exciting for a great year!

Meet the Longhorns

Meet the Longhorns was a great way to start the new year! It always raises the excitement and gets everyone ready for a great fall season with all the sports and activities! 

Let’s go Longhorns!

 

Troy’s move-in Year 2

This year Troy will be living in an apartment with Jace and Lukas. We went up there and got him all set to start the year. We were able to meet his roommate’s parents and go out to dinner with them and had the best time. They are great people and very much like us so that is good to know.  It seems like they are going to have a great year with good friends and a new major. Guns up for sophomores year! 

Rangers Getaway

Our last little getaway this summer is back to see the Rangers. We got our usual hotel room and enjoyed the Lexus Club tickets with Blake and his friend. one night with all the yummy food and drink. Then, we watched the game poolside the next day and the last day went back to the ballpark to cheer them on again. We found a cute restaurant inside the old ballpark that had salsa lessons going on and a fun outdoor cigar lounge overlooking the old stadium. We have so many great memories in that stadium! Our wedding being at the top! As summer winds down, this was a nice way to relax and prepare for a busy fall semester. 

Summer hike ‘26

The boys went with Daniel and Christian on their annual summer hike. This year they tackled Humphreys Peak in Arizona and also hit the Grand Canyon. So many neat pictures from them while they were away. I hope they had fun! Seeing all the pictures made me miss the Grand Canyon and remember how beautiful it is. They even got to see the mule train and a big horned sheep. I know they are exhausted after hiking 50 miles in 4 days, but I hope they enjoyed the experience.
