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 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 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!
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!
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.
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.
We were all able to gather to celebrate and remember GG’s life. Richard performed the ceremony and mom and Sonja had it set up so pretty. There were pictures on all the tables and we also got to watch a slideshow of her life. Troy and Teague were in Arizona and couldn’t make it, but there were plenty of pictures of them with her. Her life was well lived for the Lord and I know she is enjoying Heaven so much!
This year’s cousins vacay was to Mexico. It started a bit rough with being delayed in the Mexican airport because the guys exceeded the tobacco limit but once we got to the resort we were able to relax a bit. We enjoyed the beach and the pools and the food. Sadly they didn’t allow the guys to smoke their cigars so they had to hide it the few times they did. Richard and I got the plunge pool room this year. It was nice to have a pool right on our balcony that we could just be in whenever we wanted.
One day we took the ferry over to Isla Mujeres because everyone talks about it so we wanted to see what it was all about. Krystal sent us a list of the best spots so we hit a few. The food at Mango Cafe was amazing and driving around the town on a golf cart was a lot of fun, but there were so many people on the roads and in the shops and on the beach. We were ready to get back to our resort and relax again. Overall, Mexico was beautiful but I don’t think we will be returning there anytime soon.
