I’m relieved to say that the Steele Knights beat the Smithson Valley Rangers last night on Ranger turf, 31-20. While I am super proud of the players and coaches for coming back from a 20 point deficit in the first quarter, I am also proud that *I* survived the game, not only myself, but also Landri… Continue reading Knights Win & 5K in Memory of My Dad!
Today, on Scott’s 34th birthday, he and the Steele Knights are featured on the front page of the NEW YORK TIMES! Super exciting and extra special that it’s on his birthday! You can read the article here. I think it’s hilarious that I’m mentioned as being the wife who watches The Bachelorette, because if you know me… Continue reading The New York Times: Front Page News!
So I’m on a roll lately getting Landri to actually eat her healthy dinners! The key has been to involve her in the process of making them – it’s totally created “buy-in” for her and she loves being a part of it! Who knows if this will stick or work for your toddlers, but so… Continue reading Trick Your Toddler
What a game, what a game, what a game! As I was leaving the new Baylor McLane football stadium tonight (last night, LOL!) I heard someone say, “Now THAT was a Texas high school football game.” And it truly was. Words cannot describe what just went down in Waco, TX. The tenacity and pure heart that the… Continue reading What a Game!
It’s been a while since I posted something under my “Crafty Crafts” category! Recently I’ve been working on some homemade yoga mat straps and even a “bag!” They have turned out pretty well, although I’m still tweaking the patterns slightly to get them exactly where I want them to be. For example, the strap pattern… Continue reading Yoga Crafts!
Half a year! Geeeeez… Okay, first we will cover the biggest firsts. Rex got his first tooth on Sep 4th just shy of 6 months, which Sandrine, a member of our HBO film crew, discovered when he attacked her hand with his mouth in the car one day! Rex also had his first ride in… Continue reading Rex’s Half Birthday: Man Dumps, Teeth & More
OMG what a game! From what felt like almost freezing temperatures when soaked to the bone from POURING rain for a good 30-45 minutes if not longer (it was actually 68 degrees on my drive home), to a fierce battle on the field, that was a game we will all probably remember for a while. Ultimately Steele came… Continue reading Nitro Update, Football Blood & Rain
Our eldest is a whopping two years old today. I still can’t believe that we’ve been parents for that long! Here was last year’s post for her one year birthday just for fun! So what is our little Toddzilla up to these days? Well, I have to say that in the last month, I’m very happy… Continue reading Landri Turns 2!
Today we buried Landri’s and Rex’s great grandfather and it was an emotional day. Scott, his cousin Nathan, his uncle Gary and family friend Charlie Brown, all spoke some amazing heartfelt words about Pa Butch. There were some tears and a lot of laughs too. It was so awesome to see how he touched their lives… Continue reading ❤
Well, it’s been a very wild week. We’ve had swim lessons, the opening of dove season, Landri’s and Rex’s Mother’s Day Out started this week, Rex got his first tooth, and HBO has been here following us (see explanation here), and wrapped up filming this evening at our first home game of the season. It… Continue reading Highs and Lows
