Basketball Season

I haven't mentioned one big part of our lives right now...basketball!!! David coaches the 8th grade boys at his school. Win or lose, David has been there for those boys with encouragement and support. He never neglects to tell them how proud he is of them, and the admiration they feel for him is apparent too. The team has shown tons of improvement since the first game; they are really playing like a team now. Brooke and I try to make it to every game. Our little girl is quite the basketball fanatic. She cheers and claps for Daddy's team. 

Go Eagles!

Strategizing...

High School Football

Something very exciting is happening. Plano Senior High is in the Texas 5A Division 1 Semi-finals! David is their #1 scout, so he has been to Houston, Abilene, Round Rock, & San Antonio the past few weekends checking out possible opponents. It's an exciting time. Well this past weekend, he was sent to scout at the Alamodome. Brooke and I decided to tag along so we could spend the weekend with my parents in NB. Just the girls spent Saturday shopping till we dropped.

When David finished scouting in San Antonio that night, we headed straight to San Marcos to see my high school football team, the New Braunfels Unicorns, play in the 4A Semi-finals! It was really fun to be a part of the Unicorn crowd again. The game went into triple overtime--very exciting! I realized that David and I watch very few games together, so it was nice to have him next to me in the stands instead of him on the sidelines and us in the crowd. 

Sunday we went to church and celebrated Dad's birthday (which is actually tomorrow) with a breakfast at Ryan's. I didn't even know Ryan's had breakfast--very yummy. Happy Birthday Dad! I love you soooo much! 

On our way home we stopped to check out Waxahachie's Candlelight Home Tour. This was actually our second weekend in a row to attend. The homes were beautiful and I got some new decorating ideas. 

If (or should I say when) Plano makes the Finals, they will play at the Alamodome. This will give us another excuse to see my family. 

Go Wildcats!

Here are some really cute photos from this weekend w/ the fam.

Gotta Have a Big Red Bow

teBoth of David's teams won last night in very exciting games! Perhaps thanks in part to some extra support. We invited our small group to watch the game. The Eagles' #1 Fan

The weather was really weird. I would describe it as foggy & clammy... and muddy of course.

Our fabulous group!

Canton & Cowboy Fever Weekend

12 hours: My new longest record for being away from my Brookie Baby. What an eventful 12 hours though! I went with a few friends to Canton and we shopped til we dropped. I only went $12 over my limit! I got 2 Circle E candles (made in Fredericksburg--close to home), one other candle, a beyond cute diaper bag with a bright pink "B" embroidered on it, and a sign for Brooke's room. It was great for me to get out of the house. I really enjoyed getting closer with the girls on the trip.



Well football season is starting to get a little exciting... Cowboys are 4-0 so far this season. I have to say I'm a fair-weather fan, while David is and will always be a true blue Cowboy fan. Daddy & Baby watched the game together today. Brooke sported her Cowboys onesie from Aunt Diana.



Speaking of football, David coached his first game of the season last week. They won and are excited to play again this Tuesday. Brooke did really well at both "Red" (A team) and "Blue" (B team) games. I went to a resale shop and found a couple long sleeved onesies and ironed on some lettering so we can cheer Daddy on at the games. I realized holding a baby at the games may require me getting one of those stadium seat dealies with a back on it, so I'm shopping around for one.
The white one says "eagles" in rhinestones (of course).


With the start of school I am thankful again that David teaches and coaches middle school. I'm reminded of our first year of marriage when we hardly ever saw each other in the daytime because he was a high school coach. This schedule is so much better for a family, plus he really loves his job. God is good!





We're looking forward to another busy week!
