Happy Birthday to me!

Today I am 35 years young....WHAT??? Did I say 35....I swear I am still in my twenties. Maybe it's because I am around high school kids but I really don't feel like I am in my mid-30s! I had to share how my day started....with the best birthday wishes a girl could ask for!

Case being Case

I realized I haven't posted a ton about Case lately so I took this video yesterday & it was too funny not to share!

Red & Green Homecoming Parade

Every year during homecoming week we have the Red & Green Parade. Volleyball has a tradition to uphold as we have won the grand prize the last four years in a row!!


This year did not disappoint with our "Olypmics" theme. Make it 5 years in a row!!

The seniors were Greek goddesses



Mallory is all about getting in every pic these days! In the back you can see our horses, chariots, tunics & togas!


Here is Case's main squeeze. Abby with all of the Highsteppers


Following the parade is a huge pep rally in the gym. We ran into the Chic Fil A cow & Case fell in love! He must have hugged it about 10 times & called it "moo"


Case & Kylie chillin before the parade

Morgan turns 6!!

Morgan turned 6 on Friday, November 9th. For her class she wanted to bring Oreo balls, yummy.


I had a game that night so she got to go eat at Chili's with Mamaw & Papaw.




On Saturday we met Mammy & papa Marc for breakfast and then she got to go spend the morning with them and do a little shopping.



Sunday night we finally had cake & got to sing to the birthday girl.



After much deliberation Morgan decided she wanted her ears pierced so Monday after school we went to Claire's.



She was sooo brave & didn't even cry!



Love my pumpkin! Happy Birthday Morgan Boo!

Old Macdonald had a farm....

On Thursday of last week Morgan had her kindergarten field trip.  Since her birthday was the next day and I had a volleyball game I promised I would go with her.  We went to Old Macdonald's farm and had a great time.

Morgan enjoyed riding the pony.  I thought she looked huge on it!

Here was Morgan's group that I was in charge of

Silly poses

All in all it was a great trip and we had lots of fun running around and seeing all of the animals!  Morgan totally passed out on the bus on the way home so I would say it was a success.

A Scooby, a skeleton and nothing to cheer about....

I love, love, love Halloween and this year was no different.  Here are the girls before school....

Morgan actually had a dentist appt on Halloween with luckily no cavities to report! 

When we got home the kids were so anxious to get ready but we had to wait for daddy to get home.  Case really wanted to be a princess but I convinced him if he wanted to get candy he had to be Scooby Doo.

 So we had Scooby Doo, A punk pink skeleton and a cheerless cheerleader

Posing in the front yard 

The pictures of the girls giving attitude seriously cracks me up. 

And Case is the cutest Scooby I have ever seen :)

Can we say I might see this look in the teenage years??? 

Case was absolutely adorable while trick or treating.  He went up to every house with the girls, even the scary ones.  At the end he kept saying "my candy is heavy" 

Papaw made a visit in his annual scary costume 

Mallory decided to put it on to go scare Mammy, Mamaw and Papa Marc

I was worried how our new neighborhood would be since our last one was pretty awesome on Halloween but there was no need to worry.  There were kids everywhere, hay rides, golf carts cruising....soooo much fun!   

A Shout Out

I want to give a shout out to my 2012 volleyball team.  We start playoffs tonight and so far we have had a great season.  We are currently 33-2 and went undefeated in district play, 12-0.  The team is made up of 3 seniors, 7 juniors and 2 sophomores.  They have been a great group and I hope they have a great playoff run as they deserve it.

We have a theme practice once a week.  Above was colors by grade

Throwback theme!  They wore stuff they had from when they first started playing volleyball

 Twins Day....these are just a few of the themes, will need to upload more to show their funny personalities



"The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender" Vince Lombardi

That is our theme this year but we always live by, Life is short, HAVE FUN!!!!

All of our playoff matches will be broadcast online so if you want to follow us just go to our website at http://www.twhvolleyball.com and you can get to the link from there

Story Book Parade

Mallory and Morgan's school has an annual story book parade where the students choose a character from a book to dress up as(I think their way of letting the kids dress up for Halloween).  I had this really cute idea that Mallory could use Lonnie's football stuff to dress up like the little boy in a book we have called "Born to be an Aggie"

Morgan used a historical book on mummies and dressed as Cleopatra

Some of the girl's other friends dressed up

And of course when we were planning the outfits at home, Case had to get in on the action.  More times than not he would choose a pink dress over any of his own clothes......boys with sisters!!



Halloween Fun Pics

The kids got some Halloween jammies so we had an impromptu photo shoot!

 Case was saying "ooohhh scary!"

Scary face



 I can't believe my "baby" is getting so big

Case had just gotten his hair cut.  He LOVES getting it cut at Sports Clips where daddy goes.  He is so good and always gets a lollipop(pink of course)

I had to include this pic because it was too cute.  Poor Brynn had a rough week last week and ended up having to get two stitches.  We decided to make her feel better by getting her a new comfy bed....someone else thought it was comfy too ;)
