A Busy November

Its been a busy month! 

Colt and Daddy at the gun range, mom and Chase tagged along...It was SO loud!

Look at these crazies...found both of them sleeping like this.

While the moms are away...

 ...The kids will play!

 Uh oh!  Two sickies!!!!

 Strep!

Strep can't slow him down.

 A meet up with 4th cousins.

 A morning out with mom.

 A little computer time before bed!

Its beginning to look a lot like...

CHRISTMAS!

The inside and the tree was decorated a few days before Thanksgiving and Zak finished up the outside shortly after Thanksgiving.  Even SNOWMAN is back! The weather may not feel like it but bring it on Christmas!  

Oh.. and Im about 95% done with Christmas.  We even had presents under the tree before Thanksgiving day.  

Happy #38 to me...

Things may not always turn out how you expect them to but today is proof that that’s ok! Last night Chase started feeling icky. This morning he woke up with fever and sore throat. Straight to the dr we went where we found out that his Strep is back! (He just finished a 10day dose of antibiotics on Wednesday for strep:/). The boys and I spent the day relaxing and taking it really easy. I didn’t clean a thing! Colt and Zak made me a cake and my parents called and said they’d take the boys for the night so Zak and I could celebrate my birthday. We made it to dinner and then back over to mom and dads to have cake. Now we’re home doing some more relaxing.
Aside from Chase Man being sick, it’s been a great day. My boys took great care of me. Zak even braved the Walmart pharmacy so I didn’t have to pick up Chases meds! Chase was in great spirits all day and is on the mend. I’m so thankful we went in and caught it right away! 

Thnaksgiving and Car Show

Thanksgiving looked a little different this year for us.  After Harvey flooded Jerry and Glendas house, Andi invited my WHOLE family to celebrate with them in College Station.  Unfortunately some family stuff came  up and Jerry, Glenda, Kelly, BJ and the kids couldn't make it out but Mom and dad and our little family headed up to CS to celebrate with the Days and the Byrds! It was such an awesome day and we are so thankful for Andi and Byrd's hospitality! 

The day after Thanksgiving the tradition continued...Autorama for the boys!

ALZ Walk

Our team, Nanny's Ninjas, raised just over 3000$ to go towards fighting this awful disease!  We all enjoyed the walk and even Nanny made it out.  She and Glenda and Jerry both sat back while we walked through the U of H campus.  It was a beautiful morning and an awesome way to spend our Sunday morning! 

It just won't be the same...

Happy Veterans Day

ASTROOOOOOOS!

What an amazing time we've had with the Astros this Post Season! Game one in the first series

 (see my hubby there in the grey!)

 We spent hours in Matt and Ambers garage while the kids played or slept cheering the Astros on

Then, Zak got an offer of a lifetime.  Josh was flying in and his boss was sending him and Zak to game 5, which ended up being one of the best games in history!

While they cheered on at the game we cheered on at home! It was incredibly exciting to watch!!!!! 

Im happy the season is over and bummed all at the same time. 

 We had an absolute blast with these folks cheering on our team.
Definitely made memories none of us will forget.  Ever!

And, our Astros brought home the trophy!!!

WORLD SERIES CHAMPS!!!!

The parade...or I should say the BUST of a parade.  

We pulled the boys out of school at 11 am and met up with Scott and Susan and Grandad and headed downtown.  We decided on parking at  Reliant and taking the train.  We knew hundreds of thousands were expected so we knew what ever we chose to do was a crap shoot. We thought it would be packed but when we pulled right in and got a front row parking space, we though, ok this might just work!  Then, we got in a line that stretched forever.  We had exactly two hours tip the parade so we thought we'd make it.  

WE DIDN'T. :(

If we had made it it might have looked soothing like this...
