Hico Stock Show in the Park

The Hico Stock Show in the park was a great family day.  It was a beautiful day at a relaxed show.  Perfect!  Plus the animals showed well.  We worried about Karson's but as soon as he got into the ring, he did what he was supposed to do.  The only hiccup was what we heard over the loud speaker.  "Zant, you have a steer loose!"  Oh...my...word!  While Reagyn was showing hers, Karson's came untied and decided to walk down the road!!!  Karson got there quickly and tied him back up.  All was fine!

 

 

8th Grade Football

This guy!  So proud to be his mom.  Karson is committed to what he does, such a hard worker and thoughtful in the process.  He LOVES football.  He plays both offense and defense on the line.  He comes home all bruised and banged up but he enjoys every minute. I love watching my #76!!

 

This was after a TOUGH one and he was exhausted! 

Then there's Fernando.  Karson is so sweet and helpful.  He pushes Fernando around on the football field before the game and he takes him to his classes at school.  He even helps him get his lunch tray.  And all without me suggesting it.  Makes a Momma's heart swell with pride!!  Maybe we did something right with him. :)

 

First Day of 5th and 8th grades

Time flies when you're having fun!  The kids started 5th and 8th grades this year.  I had to be at school early and Lanny was in charge of getting them ready, a picture taken and to school on time.  He did an awesome job! :)  I missed not being in on it though...

We are looking forward to a GREAT year!

New Swimming Hole

We found a new swimming hole a couple of miles from our house.  It is called Langston's crossing.  We knew the river crossed there, but Karson's friend, Corbin, took us farther around a corner and showed us this!  

They then decided cliff jumping was a good idea...

 They had a blast.  Definitely going back to swim there.

Me and My Girl

Reagyn and I attended a wedding the other night. Mrs. Harris, one of the former teachers at Hico, and the teacher that went with Reagyn to the Lone Star Academy was the bride.  We saw a beautiful ceremony and I LOVED spending time with my girl!
