Mommy's Little Helpers

Last night after dinner, I decided we needed to burn some steam so the girls and I went outside to play. I got out their tent and they played while I watered and picked a few weeds. They decided it would be more fun to help me instead.

After we watered, we took a walk up the street to Matt & Missy's house. Karsyn walked the whole way up there, but her little legs were too tired to walk home. About halfway home, she laid down on the sidewalk, so I carried her the rest of the way. I wish I had a picture of that. :)

The first week of school has gone well for both Lamar and I. We're adjusting to our early, early mornings and Lamar's late evenings. I hope that his hardwork pays off with a winning season.

Scrimmage

Last night was Lamar's first official scrimmage. Before the game, the girls and I met the other coaches' wives and had dinner at Rosa's. It was so great to meet new people who had so much in common. It will definitely help make the season go by easier.

Landrie loved meeting the new kids and hanging out. Karsyn climbed to the top of the stadium and then had the fit of a lifetime when I carried her back down. In her defense, she was exhausted. It was way past her bedtime. Hopefully, she'll adjust well because we have a LOT of football games in our future.

I'll make sure to get pictures next week at the first game! Go Buffalos!!

Summer's Over

This week marks the official end of summer. I've been back at work since the 6th, but kids will be here on Monday. We've missed Daddy a lot lately...football is keeping him very busy, but we're all excited about his new job. Go Buffalos!

On Sunday, Gigi, Grandpa and Grandmommy came to visit from Salado. We went to lunch and somehow I didn't manage to get a picture of the girls with them. :( But, we did take a few cute ones at La Hacienda. Yummy!

Karsyn is Hot Stuff in Gigi's Glasses!

Landrie & Karsyn on the train. Who knows what they were looking at? Obviously not the same thing!

Karsyn pitching a fit after the train was over. She even through herself on the floor. Not cute!

Change...is a good thing!

I'm going to tag Lolly because she's the only other person that reads this and also has a blog.

Update?

Wow! I've been a BAD blogger lately! The girls are keeping me on my toes constantly, but there hasn't been anything exciting to report. We've spent a lot of time at home just having fun and hanging out together.

Lamar and I went back to work officially last Monday. Lamar's worked hard all summer with football, but now it's in full swing. The girls are back at Lolly's and I know they were excited for a change of scenery. Lolly has travelled a LOT this summer and we've missed her!

I've read several good books lately that I would highly recommend:

• Back on Blossom Street - Debbie Macomber. Anything she writes is good!
• The "Seasons" Series by Beverly LaHaye and Terri Blackstock. Great Christian fiction! There are 4 books and I read them all in less than a week.

Gigi - I promise to post pictures this week! And, we can't wait to see you next Sunday!

Tonight we celebrated Papa's 80th Birthday! I can't even put into words how special my family is to me...especially Papa. Lolly put it best here!
