Oh my.....I cannot believe that it is already September! We have had a lot going on around our house!!!
We sold our house in Arlington in March and moved to our final house in Mansfield, TX. We will be here until the boys graduate from high school! We LOVE it!! It is a much bigger house with tons more space and a swimming pool and hot tub =) The boys swim EVERYDAY!!
Shawn - about to have a birthday!!! I cannot believe he will be 8 yrs old! He is having a laser tag party with some baseball friends, football friends and school friends! He had an unbelievable baseball season this past Spring! Sometimes it is hard for me to believe that he is only 7 with some of the plays that child makes on a baseball field! He has a new best bud....Ethan Smith. He lives straight across the golf course from us and they are together every minute that we will allow! Ethan's dad played baseball for the Texas Rangers which still has Shawn in awe! Shawn has started school and is in 2nd grade this year. He has also started football and is now a Mansfield Tiger on the football field. We are excited to be able to watch him play and of course we LOVE football season.
Reid - is in kindergarten!!! My baby is in school everyday, all day! He lost his 1st tooth also. He has 2 new best buds....Parker Willis and Henry Smith. Parker lives right next door and Henry lives right across the golf course (he is the brother of Shawn's best bud Ethan). Reid, Parker and Henry are all in the SAME kindergarten class! Please pray for their teacher =) Reid has started fall baseball and he and Henry are on the same team. Never hurts to have a retired professional baseball player as the coach! Reid is on the Orioles!!! We are anxious to go and cheer for Reid like we have always done for Shawn! Reid's favorite thing right now is driving the golf cart! Believe it or not, he is an excellent driver!!! If he gets "green" at school everyday for the week, he gets to drive the golf cart on both courses as his reward! Hey....whatever it takes =)
John and I.....we are settling in very well! We LOVE our home! We love the golf, club, pool and our neighbors! If we had known that Alec would move back to his mom's, we might not have bought such a large home, but it has all worked out. We love it!!!! We still wish there were 3 boys in it instead of just 2 now, but things happen for a reason even though we may never understand.
I promise I will post new pics SOON!!! I am trying to figure it out again so be patient.
Until next time.......
3rd grade and 1st grade...time sure does fly!! Watch them everyday or you just might miss something :)
Can you believe your eyes..........Nana made a road trip to Texas
Pat and Nin brought her! She has never been to any of my homes.
Now she can say she has seen where I live :)
OK....I asked John to not send me roses this year because even though I love them, they are so expensive this time of year and the practical side of me kicks in :) So.....see what I got instead!! I laugh every time I come down the stairs and pass the formal living room :) It looks like a huge hot air balloon!! We had a GREAT day. We took the boys to see Spiderwick Chronicles and then went to the club and met some friends and their kids for dinner. All the kids played tennis and tag on the golf course while we got to eat and visit inside. Happy Valentine's day .......
These kindergarteners sure know how to party!! The Mansfield police came and blocked off the roads so that the classes could have a parade lead by golf carts for their big celbration!! Henry and Reid a buds!! Henry live across the fairway from us :)
