Cowboys, Athletes and Fishermen





So much has been happening these past couple of weeks I figured it was time for a little catch up. The kids had their Western Day at MDO a couple of weeks ago. They dressed up in cowboy boots and hats. At school they had different activities for the kids like a petting zoo, face painting, Texas flag making, cowboy sing-a-longs. I think their favorite part was the petting zoo. They have been playing cowboys since then. They also had their first soccer game. They did a great job! I was especially impressed by Maya. I wasn't sure how she would do, but she did awesome! She was a bit slower than most of the other kids (she is also one of the youngest), but she wasn't afraid to get right in there. She hustled after the ball and got into the mix. Isaac did a great job playing goalie and made a couple of saves. The Gonzales family was there to cheer both of them on. I know they will enjoy this soccer season and love it when anyone comes to watch them. Go Bluebirds!

This past weekend we went camping with Josh's family. We went to Cleburne State Park. We had so much fun! It was really cold at night but we made it through. The kids loved being outside and getting all dirty. Saturday we went to Dinosaur State Park. We went hiking around the park and the kids got to play in the water. We packed a lunch and ate it out there. When we got back to the campsite Josh took Isaac and Maya fishing. They loved it. Maya was insistent on holding her own pole and was determined not to need any help. On the way to go fishing our nephew Mattie had a bad fall. He landed straight on his head and Emily and Matt had to take him to the hospital. After 4 hours in the ER they finally saw a doctor and determined that he didn't need stitches. Poor little guy was a trooper and was back to his old self by Sunday. We hope to go camping with everyone again soon!
