Refugees Welcome!













So we have had a crazy week. My sister Dori, her husband Jesse, and their 3 and a half mon. old baby Hazel came to stay with us. They had one night of no A/C due to Hurricane Ike and said "see ya" to The Woodlands. So we were the host family of some refugees! I just wanted to do my part to help! HA HA!! We had lot's of fun just hanging out. Kort and Jesse took full advantage of the break and played golf 3 times, went to the gun range and then to the Aggie game ( we wont talk about that!) They just had a grand old time!! Dori and I went to lunch and went shopping ya know girl stuff. Averi had her very first soccer game. Her team name is The Cheetahs and they are orange, go figure! The games was exciting but let's just say Averi is going to need some extra lessons from Daddy. She was more interested in talking and cheering on her team to get the ball that she forgot to do it herself. Maybe next game will be better! Then Sat. night we took the kids to the Plano Balloon Festival on Sat. The kids LOVED it they got so excited to see all the cool balloons. Kade's favorite was a huge panda and Averi's was a giant daisy.

It was so much fun getting to spend time with The Hills! I am sure gonna miss that sweet baby girl! Averi thought she was her own personal baby doll! Kade is missing them so much, every time he hears a car he gets an excited look on his face and says "Aunt Jesse" ( He is a bit confused on the whole aunt uncle thing!) He also does not want me to take down Hazel's bed.

So now it is back to normal...or is it??? Averi is home sick today with fever and a hurt tummy. Kort starts his new job today also. So maybe tomorrow will be back to normal.

I hope all of you in Houston and around there are getting back to normal. I am glad that you are all ok, maybe just sick of eating anything left in the pantry!

XOXOXOXO! Enjoy your week!

I'm Back!!

Ok, so I have been away from the blog for too long. This summer was just crazy and really I was just LAZY! Now that school has started I can get back to normal....well my normal!
So Averi started first grade and she really loves it. She has a great teacher and I think we are going to have a great year. She has her first soccer game on Sat. and starts dance (hip-hop) on Wed. along with Awana. She will be busy, or I will???
Kade is growing like a weed and so darn sweet. He loves any kind of ball and has a new love for Spider man! He "throws" his web everywhere and jumps off everything! I have really entered into the world of BOYS! I love it and a learning a lot.
Kort is starting a new job in 2 weeks! He is really excited and looking forward to what it will bring to our life and his career. He is also helping coach Averi's soccer team!
As for me....well just same old thing! Taking care of kids, house, husband ya know the usual!

We had a lot of fun this summer at the lake house. I think we were there every other weekend. The kids had a ball and so did we. I am ready for a fun fall and looking forward to the cool weather!! I am going to be better about the blog I promise!! So keep checking back I plan on updating it about once a week!

XOXOXO, Mandi
