Thankful Thursday

I'm feeling a little selfish today.  When I started to think about the people facing hurricanes, loved ones at war, etc. it mad me realize I need a THANKFUL THURSDAY!!!

  • Football officially begins on Saturday!  I can't wait to watch my little boy (big boy...he keeps reminding me he's not a baby anymore) tackle some kids and take a few hits.  It always makes me tear up when I see him run out onto that field.
  • My husband- again- is so strong and always finds a way to make things work.  If I could have an ounce of his faith and positive thinking I would be a completely different person.  He says he doesn't have to worry about anything because I worry enough for the both of us! Ha
  • My friends....when I moved to Texas I never imagined the close group of great friends I would have.  They are HONEST, real, and always there to help out or just to talk.  I couldn't make it through life without them! I love watching our kids play and think about when our kids are grown and we are all still hanging out and going on trips together.  
  • Cuddle time with my Neely-Belle.  There is nothing more peaceful, nothing that can turn a bad day into a fabulous one like cuddling with her and watching a movie together.  It feels like time stands still and everything stops while I get to spend that precious time with her.  I made her promise she will always be my little girl!!
  • And don't laugh.....but I'm so thankful for THE HUNGER GAMES.  Best book series EVER!!!  I finished the third one earlier this week and now I can't wait until the movie in March.  I know- it sounds ridiculous...world devastation, hovercrafts, fighting to the death.....but once I started I couldn't stop.  The series grabs you and pulls you into their lives and emotions.  Trust me- its a fast, great read.  Loved it!!!!


Hope you have a happy, fun, and THANKFUL Thursday!!!

Neely's early birthday party, and the first day of school- again!!



This past Friday we had Neely's 7th birthday! Yes, it was a month early but she wanted to have a pool party, so why not?! She is completely obsessed with peace signs....







A little candy buffet... : )


COUSINS!!!




I think they all had a blast until the mosquitos came out around 8:30 pm!!

Then this morning was the beginning of another school year.  Where did the summer go?! Neely started 1st grade and Rob started 3rd. Praying they have a great day and an awesome year!!!


Wow-they grow up so fast!!!!

Football...Already?!

Celebrating their victory last year after the "Superbowl"
Superbowl Champions 2010!!!

I can't believe that it has already been nearly a year since that championship games!!! Tonight we are handing out equipment and beginning a new season!!! We are all so excited...hoping for another great year!!! The pictures from last years championship game still bring tears to my eyes.  I know-its only youth football right? But the way those boys became best friends, worked together, and focused all season on their goal was incredible! They were our "boys of fall" and I can't wait for this season to be in full swing!!!
