Labor Day weekend Christian Concert

I am extremely proud to say that my husband organized a Christian Concert with chart topping artist Sidewalk Prophets and Among the Thirsty! We had the amazing opportunity to share the day with these guys and get to know them a little bit "outside" of their job. All of the gentlemen were extremely humble and a pleasure to be around. The kiddos had a great time and thought that they were top dogs for getting to hang out "with those band guys" as Harper kept calling them.

Among the Thirsty went on first after a long hot day of "Battle for Christ" with bands from all over the country. Below are a few shots of them performing and the hubs and I later that night.

Sidewalk Prophets Followed Among the Thirsty and let me say My babies have made a few new friends. Harper was super excited that someone knew her Noah's Ark songs and would get "awkward" with her! Thanks to Dave and Ben for being so awesome with the kiddos. Dave also became Marshall's new favorite person that day as well!

We would personally like to thank both Bands for coming out on such a hot and windy day to help spread God's word to the community. I know everyone who was in attendance took something more from that day than they came with.

School is Out!

Summer has begun and the kids already "bored" with nothing to do. We have created "activity jars" to pull from each week. Everyday we will pull 1 thing (note this is only the days braydon is with us <everyother 4 days>)

We have a jar full of FREE things to do around town, a jar for places to eat, and a jar of places to go that cost money. We have the pool here at home and passes to Legoland so we will be able to go do those whenever but we thought of adding in a sixflaggs/hurricane harbor combo to add into the "free things to give us more options!

Taking a few short road trips to the beach, friends in Alexandria, and as always Frankston! I hope to be able to post our outings and adventures as well as our projects we will do over the summer! Im starting with my office upstairs in which i have all of my crafting supplies and storage sitting everywhere. I will put together the storage units that Ive had since 2010 and get everything organized! 

HOpe everyone is having a great summer! Stay cool!

Its baseball season in Texas!!

There is one thing, well a few things really, that we look forward to in April and that is Opening day of the Rangers ball season. Brent and I have attended the last 2 years but unfortunately could not make it today. Next year we WILL attend! Great game to the Rangers they played hard! We are looking forward to taking the kids plus 2 of Bray's friends for his birthday to Saturday's game. Its the ALCS Ring ceremony tomorrow as well!

This past season we were extremely fortunate to be able to attend MULTIPLE games with our kiddos and just the 2 of us. I was pregnant with Marshall for most of the season BUT while in the hospital I bought 2 tickets the the game that was 2 weeks away :) Marshall attended his first major league baseball game at the ripe ol' age of 2 weeks (WIN)! Youngest baseball fan in the ballpark! We followed that game up with the ALCS playoff game (WIN) and then with an ALCS championship game (WIN). Then for the FIRST time in franchise history we were able to take all of the kids plus my father and grandfather to a World Series game (WIN). It was the most amazing things I have ever experienced. The ambiance was unbelievable. The fans were loud and proud. They guys took their only win of the series that night and we were there.

We are looking forward to another amazing season of Texas baseball. Will be posting lots of pics throughout the season of our mini baseball fans~

Love to all~
