Thanks Kate!

To Aggieland and Back :)

This year for the boys' birthdays/Christmas gifts (that would be my husband and brother), we decided to go as a family to see an A&M Game. We went in September to the A&M vs Oklahoma State Game (we lost :( but it was a good game and we had fun. Here are some pictures from our adventures.

Midnight Yell!!! Oh how I miss going to those on a regular basis :)

So "M" traveled to the game on my dad's (her papa's) shoulders. There is an Aggie tradition where you say "Howdy" to those you pass when walking... "M" was YELLING it to everyone she saw, which was only about a gagillion people! It was hilarious...



The Popcorn. It lasted us the whole game. and "M" kept eating it and eating it and eating it as we walked out of the stadium and across the campus.... she spilled probably half of it in the process, but she never put her bucket down!


The fam. It was a great trip and we had a lot of fun shopping to buy new clothes and Aggie paraphernalia. Plus getting to eat at Wings N More, Sweet Eugenes, Blue Baker.... yum!

An UPDATE:
So I am all set to get my right knee injected on Friday morning with Synvisc 1. I will be missing work and being a couch potato for 48 hours per doctors order. I have a ton of recorded shows and movies to watch so it should be interesting. Pray that this helps!!

Here I am Fall!

I have a ton of pictures to upload from personal and family adventures that have happened this fall... but Blogger won't let me! boo. Oh well, I'll get them uploaded sometime. Sorry I've been missing again lately, just part of the everyday busy-ness I live in! But to catch you up here it goes:
-We went as a family to College Station to see the Aggies take on OSU (we lost). I love going back to CS and eating at all the good and yummy places there and shopping for more clothes and things :)
-The next weekend Robert and I went with my dad and brother to see the Aggies play against texas tech in Lubbock. It was a good game and we enjoyed ourselves although the fans were not the nicest.
-Then I turned 27. Wow already! haha turning 27 felt no different than 26, but it is oftly close to 30.....
-I went to a new doctor for my knee. As you may recall in April of this year I had arthroscopic knee surgery for a torn meniscus. My knee felt great for awhile... and then I tried to start working out more... and now it hurts all the time. An x-ray would reveal that I have mild arthritis in both knees (bummer) so I'm doing some intense physical therapy to see what can be done.
-Then I took my mom to Albuquerque to see her sister and my cousins. It was a good trip and it was good to see some family although driving through New Mexico is very painfully dull... but thats why mom and I watched Scream and other old scary movies to pass the time :)
-So now we are awaiting next Friday when I have to get some injections in my knee to increase the cushion around the joint and decrease my pain. I can't move for 48 hours after the injection... so doctors orders to be a couch potato :) OK!

Thats whats happened in word form, maybe I'll get to post the pictures soon.

Fall is so here!

Umm so this morning I definitely got ready a little bit more quickly, rushed out the door, and made myself a date at starbucks to get my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season! I. Love. These!!!!

I was very happy today... I attribute it to the Pumpkin Spice.

Thank you PSL :)

These were the pictures from our Labor day weekend which was awesome and I hope you enjoy watching these little ones growing up as much as I do :)

A Well Jammed Packed Labor Day Weekend

Well hello everyone, thank you for those who responded about my mom. She was able to go home last Monday with a confirmed lung infection and some blockage in her lungs (not too sure the specifics). She is doing better, but still has some of her symptoms so I just hope her doctors can figure out everything :)

Anyways, We had a super busy weekend! Friday we left at noon for our traditional trip to Six Flags with the teens for Naz Nite. We go to Six Flags over Texas every labor day weekend with the teens... we give up relaxation for riding rollercoasters, sweating profusely, walking 200 miles around a theme park, eating fried fast food, and sleeping on the floor of a church without showers... but we do it because we love our teens :) And this year we didn't have very many kids go with us, but we still had a great time. And Robert even got pulled over in the church van on the way home... but only because the cop couldn't see the license plate from 50 feet away.... well get closer is what we were thinking! And he was shining that stupid flashlight in my face the whole time... I mean do I look like I'm harboring drugs or something!

We got home Saturday night really late and had a great time at The Gathering on Sunday morning. I love my church :) We spent the rest of the day Sunday with my family watching the Fightin Texas Aggies BTHO SMU! It was a good game and I'm glad we won... before the game my mom, sister in law and I played a game to reveal a secret to the boys... We are going to the Aggie game on September 24th!! Whoop! I'm so excited!

Monday we spent the day with Robert's family eating and playing lots of games. I went for a run with Sadie that morning which I've been doing little by little, but this time I way over did it! My knee has been killing me ever since, boo.

Overall it was a great Labor day weekend and I'll be sure to post pictures soon from the teens trip!

Living in the Crayon Box

Well this weekend was full of anxiety. My mom was taken to the emergency room on Thursday due to loss of breath, difficulty breathing, and increased swelling in her legs. She was wheezing and looking very tired the week before and when my dad took her to the doctor on Thursday they immediately sent them to the ER. She was there for the majority of the day (I got off work at lunch and rushed over there) in a room the size of a crayon box... like the 12 piece box kind not the 24 box. She was given a ton of meds, lost about 10 lbs of fluid from her body, and continued to show low oxygen. She was admitted to the hospital that evening (late) and stayed until Monday night in a room the size of the 24 piece crayon box. It was tiny! I stayed with her Friday and Saturday night which means very little sleep... how they expect people to rest and get better in there when they wake you up every 3 hours or so to take vitals is beyond me!

Currently, she has significantly improved and is on the up and up for now. Her heart has early signs of CHF (congestive heart failure) and her lungs have some problems also. It was sad to see her trapped up there for the whole weekend, but I do commend the staff at Midland Memorial Hospital who took care of her because they did a great job! and they were pretty humorous which is just what our family needed. I'm very thankful for all of you who prayed for us during this time and continue to pray that she stays strong.

Hope everyone has a good week...Keep Christ first on your to do list and all other things should fall into place!
