3/29 - We had a busy day with 3 sports. Kasey had her soccer game
in the morning - she scored a goal, had an assist, and had a good time.
Then we went to lunch with Grammy, Gramps and Grandma. We all went to
Elke's which is always yummy. Then we headed to Landon's baseball
game - his first game with the Yankees. Greg had a hard time putting
on shirt and hat, but he did it.
Landon got a single and a double. He
played short stop, 1st base and center field. His team won, he said
after the game it was fun to win. Then we had an hour. Kasey went
home with grandma to help finish Nanny's cake. Landon, Greg, and I
went to grab some yogurt then we headed to Landon's soccer game. Landon
was pretty tired, but he played hard.
We came home for quick clean up and headed to dinner with family for
Nanny's 92nd birthday celebration. We went to Red Lobster with Nanny,
Grandma, Uncle Buddy and Aunt Jody and Cindy and Carlos. We had nice
dinner then went back to Nanny's for some cake. Kasey was very excited
that she had helped put the icing on top and put the coconut on.
3/26 - kasey did her dance performance for us again tonight. Smiled
the whole time :) she found one of my old phones and asked if she
could have it. I said yes. She called it an itouch. I argued with her
that she couldn't call it that since it was my Android phone. I
suggested she call it a phone. She said, kids have itouches, phones are
for adults. She wins :)
3/23 - Only in Texas can you be outside at a baseball game one day in
shorts, tshirt and sweating, and then the next day wearing jeans, long
sleeves, jackets and hats to a game. We went to the baseball game
anyway. Both kids went on the field for War Hymn and the National
Anthem. Landon went to short stop and Kasey went to the pitcher. We
got kids ice cream which was maybe a mistake, but kept Kasey calm for a
little bit. Aggies ended up winning in extra innings. We left a
little early since we were driving back and all of us have to get back
to normal schedule tomorrow.
Kasey was really tired and took about a 30 minute nap and woke up
much better and ready to see patch. Patch was very excited to see us.
Scratched Kasey and I pretty good, but she was happy. I think we were
all glad to get home.
3/22 - We got up and all got showers. We were heading to College
Station for the weekend and Grammy was heading home. We got to College
Station and went to Dixie Chicken for some lunch and dominoes. Then we
headed to the baseball game. A&M was playing Florida. Landon
went on the field for the War Hymn, and National Anthem. He decided to
go to first base and got to meet Aggie player. Landon was enjoying
watching the game. Kasey just wanted to get ice cream and go to the
playground. Since the stadium is called Blue Bell Park they have
several flavors of ice cream. We got some yum! It was fun seeing
Landon get more into A&M baseball. A&M won 5 to 4.
Near the end of the game camera caught site on Johnny Manziel in the
stadium. At that time Greg was watching from the playground. After
the game Johnny was signing autographs. Kasey was so ready to go, but
Landon wanted to try and get his autograph. Greg and Landon waited on
side where he was signing. We figured he'd just stay for a little bit
but he was signing a ton of autographs.
Landon was holding down his
baseball. Johnny asked him to throw it to him and he signed it and gave
it back. We were all pretty excited about it. What a fun experience
and cool memory.
3/21 - We again took it a little easy. After everyone got ready the
girls headed to the salon (Mary, mom, Kasey and I), and Greg and Landon
went to the park to throw baseball around.
Greg and kids and I
went to eat lunch after the salon out on patio overlooking Lake Conroe
which was nice. We headed back for the afternoon to hang out and kids
played. That night we were having Tacos - a family tradition. We had
some fun snacks and took some pictures with cousin Debby and the rest of
us. We enjoyed tacos. I got to sit with Kasey again at the little
table.
Enjoyed the rest of the pecan pie. Kids wanted to play bowling again
on Wii. Kasey again was calling David old Grandpa, and Cheri Grandma.
At one point she was telling him how to bowl and asked if he had lost
his mind. It was pretty funny.
We had fun visiting that evening before everyone went to bed. Good to have some family time!
3/20
- We started pretty slow that morning. It took til after noon for all
of us to get showers. Greg was driving down and we had left overs for
lunch which was good. Kids had fun playing outside, on Wii, and around
the house.
That evening we went to Gary and Mariselas to have dinner with them.
We had fun seeing them, having great dinner, and watching the kids play
in the spa and pool Kids haven't gotten to play together for about a
year and a half so it was fun for us all to catch up.
Greg had made some desserts that everyone liked. He made pecan pie -
which according to mom and I is the best in the world. He also made
his famous chocolate cake and made it gluten free which was still really
good.
3/19 - We had a late brunch at home since we would be on the road
over lunch. Grammy, kids and I set off for Montgomery late that
morning. Greg stayed home another day to recover more. We got down to
Mary's and kids wanted to go outside to see the dogs right away. We
hung out for few hours before David and Cheri got home from work.
Around 5 we got out some snacks, started drinks and then little later
had wonderful dinner. Landon decided he didn't want to sit at the
little table anymore so I ended up sitting there all week with Kasey.
That night after dinner kids and David and Cheri played Wii bowling.
Kasey kept calling David Big Boy (which happened to be Cheri's nickname
for him so it was really funny to the adults). Then she started
calling him old Grandpa. She was pretty funny giving him a hard time.
Everyone had a good time!
3/18 - Greg wasn't feeling great again. I took kids to Grandmas, and then picked them up from Grammy.
When I put Kasey to bed for I think the 2nd time, she called me her hero. So sweet :)
3/17 - Greg called me at work in the morning that he was getting sick
- of course kids were on spring break. Thankfully my mom was able to
take them for the day. We got to go to dinner the 3 of us.
We picked a
Chinese buffet - which afterwards we decided we wouldn't go there again
- to much food.
3/16 - Greg and I got to sleep in a little. We finally got up and
got ready. Ran by to get a quick breakfast on the way to get the
kids. We hurried some because we had tickets to go see Mr Peabody
movie. We got there in time. The Dowdy's were also at the theater to
see the same movie. Cute movie.
After we got home we cleaned up a little then kids did puzzles.
Landon did a US puzzle so we were quizzing each other on the states. He
did really well and knows most of them.
3/15 - We had another
busy Saturday. I went to work out. Greg took kids to park to practice
some soccer with Kasey. Then Landon had baseball practice. I picked
Kasey up and took her to lunch. Then we headed home to get ready for
soccer. I took Kasey to her game - it was chilly and possibly rainy.
Kasey played a pretty good soccer game and scored a goal. Landon had a
game right after that ended up being delayed at least 30 minutes.
Landon played a really good game, and he also scored a goal. His team
came really close to winning, but ended up losing by 1 goal.
After the games, the grandparents took the kids home for the
night. Weather was bad so we stayed close to home and went to a new
Mexican restaurant - Cafe Del Rio. A few other families that we knew
were there. We stopped in to say hi as we were waiting for our table.
It was ok, but we still like Mi Cocina and Mexigo better. After that
we went to a movie. We weren't home to late, but was nice to be out and
hand out together.
3/13 - I got home from Denver. Gramps picked me up from the
airport and I got to have lunch with Grammy, Gramps and Kasey which was
nice. We had a little time to visit then Grammy took Kasey and I to
meet Greg. We walked with Patch to pick up Landon from school. Greg,
Patch and the kids stopped to play at the park, and I went home to work
for a little while. That evening we had Open House at Norton. We got
to see several of Landon's projects in his class and his AIM notebook
which was cool. They had one thing where they only had pictures of kids
teeth and you had to see who it was based on a QR code. Kasey found
Landon's for us :)
Then we went to dinner at Mi Cocina.
3/11 - Kasey had a
soccer game on Tuesday of course I was out of town in Denver. She did
score a goal though and was very excited to tell me.
I was in
Denver for a training conference. It snowed for several hours while we
were there. It was pretty but didn't accumulate to much. Luckily we
were inside all day and evening that day
3/8 - Since Kasey wasn't feeling to well, our day was a little
less crazy. Kasey went to soccer pictures but not her game. I went to
work out, then Landon and Greg has baseball practice. We had lunch at
home then Greg and Landon went for his pictures. The game before his
was running really late. It was raining some and pretty cold. Grammy
stayed with Kasey while Gramps and I went to the game. It felt like it
was in the 30s. Kids were in blankets on sidelines and we were quite
cold in the wind and cold. Landon scored a great goal over the head of
the defenders. His coach did a somersault when Landon scored. It was
fun. They other team scored several goals.
Greg went to FC Dallas game. Landon was super tired so we went to pick up Pluckers and had movie night at home.
3/7
- Kasey woke up not feeling well. I actually thought she was faking
it. She didn't have fever so I told her she needed to go to school.
Then right before I left for work she threw up. I guess I should have
know she was really sick when she didn't want to listen to Frozen music.
As usual with Kasey she was sick for a while, but feeling much better
by dinner time. Kasey and Greg stayed home, and Landon and I went out
on a dinner date to BJs. It was fun to spend some time just us.
3/3 - schools were closed so I worked from home all day. I never got
out of my pajamas which I never get to do :). I came down for dinner
and Landon said I had to get dressed. I figured it wasn't really worth
it at that point :). I had put on make up because Kasey brought me my
make up during the day.
3/2 - Saturday was beautiful and almost 80 degrees, today (Sunday)
the temperature just kept dropping and it was sleeting. We got out of
the house and went to see Frozen again. Greg and I covered the
windshield with a mat we use for kids games just so it didn't freeze
over. We were home the rest of the day. Schools were actually closed
on Monday.
3/1 - what a busy Saturday. Kasey had breakfast birthday party at
9am, Landon had last basketball game of the season at 10 (he got 2
baskets), Kasey had her first Fireflies soccer game at 1 (she really
doesn't like to run anymore, still shows some skill when she gets around
the ball), and Landon had a soccer game at 2 (he played well but didn't
score). Then Landon had a birthday party at 5. Greg and I got to
take Kasey to dinner at Blue Fish while Landon was at his party.
Needless to say we were all pretty tired that night.
