September updates

9/28 - Landon participated in his school fundraiser today. They do what's called a Boosterthon - the kids get pledges for the laps they are going to run and raise money for their school. Landon did great, he ran the maximum 35 laps. Landon ended up getting the most pledges in his class of $20/lap (thanks to our family and friends). He got to throw a pie in the face of the coordinator Dave as fun. He also got an epic adventure book for having the most pledges. We are very proud of him and big fans of the boosterthon. They came in and motivated the kids, talked to them about the importance of exercise, and made it fun to earn money for their school.

9/27 - Kasey really trying to get dressed on her own. Doing a pretty good job. She still doesn't like to have her hair brushed though.

9/24 - We had a busy day - we went early to hang out with Team Liam at JDRF walk to cure Diabetes. Kids had fun hanging out and running around. We had to leave right before the walk because Greg, Doug and I were driving down to College Station for A&M vs OSU football game. A&M played great first half, but gave it all away in 2nd half and lost.

9/18 - we had a simple morning then went to Oktoberfest with the Turners. We got back just in time to go down the street to neighborhood swim party which was a lot of fun. We're already planning Halloween and holiday get togethers.

9/17 - We drove down to College Station for A&M game. We went to Wings and more - Landon got to practice some letters, and we got to watch some football and drink some beer. We headed to the tailgate, and then Landon decided he wanted to see the football team walk in - of course this is ways away, but we got there just in time for the team. We got to see the band and team - Landon got to give 5s to several players. then we went to bookstore to get a few things, went to bounce house, then went on the field for a few minutes before heading up to our seats. Landon was pretty tired. Aggies won. We hung out at the tailgate some after the game to let the traffic die down, then I drove home. I think I'm getting to old to stay up til 2am :) Landon went to bed later than normal but or course still got up at 7:30am.

9/15 - Landon went to school starting to feel a little better. Kasey had to stay home from school because of fever.

9/14 - Had to take Landon to Acute Kids because he had rash and said it hurt. ended up being Staph infection yea. Of course he does not like the medicine to drink or topical medicine at all.

9/11 - We went to Spring Creek BBQ to celebrate Aunt Cindy's Bday. Then we went back to Grandma and Pops for a little bit for some dessert.

9/10 - After me being out of town since Wednesday late afternoon we had a busy Saturday. I worked at AppleCreek trying to recruit others to be involved, went to Kasey's 2s orientation, then went to Landon's first flag football game. The football game was a trip. They had cheerleaders with Titan uniforms (very cute). The boys had fun. Had a different referee that tried to make it fun, but sometimes probably slowed down play.

Labor day weekend - 9/2 - 9/4

We picked Landon up from school on Friday and drove down to the Woodlands to visit part of the Hudgeons family. The kids got to play with their twin cousins Haley and Ashlyn. Grammy was also there and had fun seeing all of the kids play together. We all had tacos and the kids had a great time playing. Of course they all stayed up much later than normal, but it was fun. Also as usual the kids got up before 8 the next morning. We had breakfast and then Greg and Landon went to the marina to get in some fishing. They didn't catch any fish but got to hang out some outside.

Kasey, Grammy and I went to Jim and Mary's to hang out. The kids had a blast playing - it was actually getting cooler for the first time in a LONG time so we spent a lot of time outside playing with balls, chalk, bubbles etc. That night most of the family came over and we had some good Mexican food and fun conversations.

Sunday we had planned to go out on the boat, spend the afternoon in College Station and go to A&M vs SMU game. We got a 7am call that our dog lady wasn't doing well. She had started having a tough time, but Pops (her Vet and Grandfather) said she wasn't drinking water or eating or walking to go outside. We decided we would change our plans and take the kids home to say goodbye to Ms lady. Of course when we got home she started eating, drinking and walking....

We ended up having a fun Sunday evening. We got Pizza all wore our Aggie gear and watched the game at home. Monday morning Greg went for a bike ride on his new bike, and the kids and I want for a 2 hour walk (Landon on his bike). We went to three different playgrounds in the neighborhood and just enjoyed being outside in the much cooler air.

9/2 - worked from home today so we could leave early to head out of town. I took lunch up to Landon and had lunch with him. He was excited to get lunch- I took him McDonalds which we never eat and he was glad. Of course I didn't do it right. I got the 4 nuggets instead of 6 and I forgot the ranch. He did eat apples milk and some fries as well. he got a little teary eyed as I was leaving. Not sure what made him upset, but he seemed ok in the end.
