Life From My IPhone Pictures

We have been so busy around here.  School is running me ragged.  My personal blog has taken a backseat to my school blog.  If you want to know what we are learning in 4th grade (which I'm sure is why you clicked over here ;) ) come on over and visit. www.mrsamthors4thgrade.blogspot.com  This is a new teaching requirement and it's wearing me out.

It has rained a few times and everything is so green at the moment.  The boys love when it rains because there are puddles to play in.

Dove season has started up and we have gotten to go a few times.

Heath caught a big horned toad at church and wanted me to take his picture.

Football is big around our house (and town for that matter).  The boys got to meet Tahoe at the pep rally.

We had special jerseys made for our favorite players (Owen, Zeke, and Zane are all #12.  On their respective teams of course)

We had a get away with our besties at the Oasis.  It was so much fun to hang out with our friends.  While the weather wasn't great for swimming, it was perfect for sitting on the porch and drinking coffee.

I'll try to be better about keeping up with both blogs and life.  

Until next time...

1st Day of Kindergarten

I may have gone into picture overload this year. No, we didn't have a mid-morning wardrobe change, these pictures were taken over several days. I couldn't choose a favorite.

It was Momma's first day back to work, too.

Tough Kindergarteners!

The ride home that afternoon. Kindergarten is exhausting!

The Jimmy Watts 4-H Center

Last night we attended the dedication ceremony of the new 4-H center. The county decided to name it after a man who has worked for over 30 years with the 4-H program and the man who worked for many, many years to have this building built, my daddy.

I couldn't have been prouder.

Last Get-Away of the Summer

We didn't go far, but we we did get away. We headed off to San Marcos and hit the outlet malls. Then we followed that up with the Glass Bottom Boat tour.

We went to the Natural Bridges wildlife ranch. The boys loved feeding all of the animals. The ostrich got a little too close for comfort though.

After a few days of that, we met up with Lolly and Pops and played and floated in the river. 

It was just what we needed before gearing up for the start of a new school year. 

Devil's River 2014

We are back from our annual week at the river.  We had a blast, as always, and caught a lot of fish.  We read lots of books and played in the river until we turned into fish.

The nephews and a niece with their fish.

The twins finally after 5 long years got the chance to go night fishing with their daddy.  They loved it, especially all of the flashlights and glow sticks.

Batman and Superman made many appearances.

Sunday we had church and we had a guest preacher, Chris.  He was awesome.

Fishing is exhausting!

The catch.  We came home with 90 pounds of filleted catfish.

The cuties.

Heath, turtle man.

San Antonio Vacay/ JW Marriott

We had the chance to get away and go to San Antonio with some of our close friends.  I was a wonderful and relaxing get away.

At the Bass Pro in San Antonio, they happened to be having a kids extravaganza that included bb gun shooting, crafts, and a carousel.

We watched How to Train Your Dragon 2 in 3D.  The boys loved the movies.  They really loved the Transformers movies display, though.

When we went to the JW Marriott, this was the view off of our balcony.  It was an amazing resort and we will definitely be going back there.  Their pool with slides and a lazy river was a dream for the boys.

These boys!  Best friends!

Water Bugs!

From My Front Porch, Looking Out

The yard is in place. 

The boys LOVED the heavy machinery that was around our house all day. They watched intently. 

The two hardest workers. 

New grass going in.
