It's Official... RED RAIDER

It's official... Jonah made his decision and decided on TEXAS TECH!  Mom and dad might be a little excited that he chose Tech.  He will be third generation and entering the 100th class in the Fall.  

 

Noah Flag Football

We went to watch Noah play in his flag football game. 

 

Cheer Tryouts

The day we have been waiting for is FINALLY HERE!!!  7th grade cheer tryouts.  Sophia has had one week to learn a chant, cheer and a dance. To say this was easy would be a huge lie!  This has been THE MOST STRESSFUL WEEK EVER.  Sophia has been preparing for this for months at TSI.  There were 12 girls trying out for 15 spots.  After tryouts we had to wait until 10:00 PM for the list to be posted of who made the squad.  This was THE LONGEST day EVER.  

All the practice paid off... we have a HUNT CHEERLEADER!  When Jonah played football at Hunt in 7th and 8th grade she would always watch the cheerleaders and say she was going to be one!  Looking forward to this next chapter.  Go Hunt Huskies.

 

Memaw and Pops

Headed over to Memaw and Pops for burgers and dogs.  Luke's friend Remi and Jonah's friend Ava came with them.  

 

Seth's Cheering Section

Seth's cheering section at his game today.  Ronbo, Causby, Kate and Hayden were in town.  Meemaw, Mimi, Papa, Ben and Matthew and even Jonah came out to watch.  We had Cameron take our pic and apparently he took a selfie.

 

It Just Got Real

It just got real!  Jonah just brought home is cap and gown...

Basket Ball End Of Year At The Legends Game

The Legends had their end of season party at the Legends game!  Seth's smile says it all!

 

Spring Break Clean Up and Soccer

Justin's truck was beyond filthy.  He got the power washer out and chunks of ice were still falling off!  Got the truck somewhat clean and headed to Seth's soccer game!  

Spring Break: Day 7 Heading Home

This morning we got up early to hit the road back to TX!  We are driving straight through so needed to get on the road early.  To say it was C O L D is an understatement... it was FREEZING.  It was NEGATIVE 16 and felt like negative 31!  The roads were not too bad and the sky was blue and the sun was out.  When we made it back to the Interstate we saw a ton of semi's and cars that had gone off the road.  We had a PUKE FREE trip so that was amazing.  Jonah and Seth rode home with us again and Sophia and Luke were with Mimi and Papa.  I think the final time was 16 hours.  We were so glad to be home!

 

Spring Break: Day Six

Last night was a rough night.  Justin and I were up all night with Remington.  About midnight he started flapping his ears every 3-4 seconds until morning.  He could not get comfortable and was pacing in our room.  We got a cotton round and cleaned it as best we could...  It was our last day to ski so Justin got up and went and took him to the vet that we saw while in town.  They kept him there a couple of hours before they could see him because they were in the middle of a surgery.  They called and he had an ear infection, of course we did not bring his ear drops so we had to buy theirs and some meds.  He immediately felt better after the first round.   

This morning we woke up to SNOW!!!  I must say that this has been the coldest Spring Break Ski trip on record.  I have never had to wear gloves or have my coat zipped or wear my goggles.  My hands were frozen, I kept my coat zipped and wore my goggles and gator up to my nose the entire time.  It was not terrible, I never felt cold except for the last two runs of the trip.  The winds picked up and it was snowing and it got C O L D!  

We took Brooke up the lift today and although she had a meltdown while getting on the lift, even dropping a ski she then was SO EXCITED and wanted to do it again.  Nic had her on the ski helper and his legs were jello, you have to snow plow and not let tension get on the straps or go past her.  I took over so Nic's legs could rest and yowza!  I would do it all again to see that smile though.  

After our last run we went to turn out skis in and Justin went to get the truck and our after ski boots.  We had a great trip and I loved Crested Butte and would love to go back but stay a little closer to the mountain.  It made for a long day driving 30 min. in.  Although the house was perfect and we got to see the deer and sheep everyday.  

The kids were having a blast and did not want it to be the last run.  Once we would get to the top they would take off and meet us at the bottom at the lift.  Sophia did blues again and we even got Seth to do blues!  We were so proud of him for trying and doing great on them!
