"And They're O-F-F!"

Back to School! Back to Reality!  We aren't ever ready for this!  But we try and psych ourselves up and throw a party!  Every year we go out with a B-A-N-G!  What a special one it was this year!  Noah going off to Middle School and these families we have been friends with since Kindergarten and Noah has been with these boys!  They have played sports, hunted and been friends for the past 6 years!  It feels so good to send them off together.  Good Luck to all the kiddos this year!
School is in session! Let's Do This!


All kids need Bubblegum 



And Punching Balloons!!  For that first week.... punching through those early mornins and days that feel too long!

For the Mamas!  Let's all be honest.... We keep the Flow A Go!  We help these kiddos get off to the very best start of their days and weeks and school years!  We think of them, we wonder, we worry... 
We Pray!


One of my friend's teachers sent this to her parents the first day of school.  I loved it so much that I had to pass this along.  Such good reminders and helps us pray for our children all the day long!


Back to School Food For Thought:
 Remember Who You ARE 


Ice Cream Truck was just a hit!  Love these kids and their ice cream faces! 

Happy Happy!


The nicest ice cream man and happiest kiddos.  We are ready for another school year!

Ok maybe not Daddy.... He is getting silly with the bunny.

Obviously... these peeps were the last to leave and we decided to snap at selfie to record the time of 2:30 am!!!  What WERE we thinking the weekend before school??????

I look happy... my shirt says happy... but really... I would rather be in my pjs snuggling with these kids

Daddy is on board too!
Gunner gets to sit on a ball the first day!  Sweet teacher!  We are blessed!

3rd Grade desks look so BIG!

Emmie Loves her teacher!



Proud to be a Colt!

Middle School Drop Off.... No classroom pics anymore.... just pictures from the car window.... 
Sniff, Sniff!
 Well Lookie Lookie who is ready for PreSchool!

 Too many cute pictures to not include them all!

 Ain't no crying here!  It's silly business!

 Ok... Mama... I will miss you!

 But I will come HOME to you!!!

On the way to school she was frowny face... I asked her what was wrong and she said, "Two things!  1. You make me ride in a booster!  2. You didn't let me have a Side Ponytail!"  So I explained the laws we couldn't break but gave in to the side pony tail when we got to school.. 
I love this child and her spunky little self!  She picked this whole outfit out at the store and rocked it! I would have never picked the vest but that is what she wanted the Most!  LOL!


Hump Day treats for my Wittle School Babies!

Days like these are surprises but they are so special and I love to do them!


After a long week of school.... who is EXHAUSTED!  Me & the rest of the Mamas!  
But sometimes when you get some wonderful news for your hubby....
Friday night pizza with friends isn't enough..... 
You get Spontaneous and you go listen to a country singer and make sweet memories.  You stay out late and you live a little.  Our kids are making sweet memories all the time... It's important for us to get out of the bubble sometimes too and get our honkey tonk on!

More Than Words....
Celebration!

We love our little Texas Boy, Parker McCollum!  He lets us take a selfie with him!  What!?

Lil Divas are back!  Fall Soccer has Kicked in!  She runs!  She kicks!  She Scores!  
Go Jensie!

Friend Fun for Emmie!

Daddy & Jensie having a time on the slide!  
You only live once!  You have to try a funnel cake!  My kids tried one for the first time! 
They loved it!

Brother jumping in on the pic

Middle School Band Night at the water park!  WHAT A BLAST!!!!
So thankful our whole family got to go enjoy the park with no lines!

Sometimes you just need a doughnut!

Or time with your dog... to dress him up like a girl!



2nd week of school Moms night out!  Some of my gym peeps that keep my happy endorphins Flowing!  Love these Ladies!  Life is short!  Get together with your girlfriends!  They keep you laughing!  They keep you hangin on to this Mom Life!
