AHS Seniors 1992!

Here we are proud and true, senior class of '92!

Well had my 20th highschool reunion last weekend! I actually contemplated not going b/c I see my friends fairly often. Most of them still live in the metroplex but after hearing that the three that don't would be flying in, I was for sure in!!

We are a random rare little group of people! We got really close by our senior year, which I think we all decided should be attributed to Young Life. We are still in contact with our leaders, who have attended several of our Christmas parties and made it to our pre-party as well for the reunion! We used to take a camping trip together every summer until most of us were married off or had moved away :( Lots of great memories even after highschool!

Every time we get together we revert right back to being about 17 years old again. Never akward, like no time has passed. This weekend was no exception!

My friend Heather, is still in Fort Worth. Her dad is still in the house she grew up in, which is also where we seemed to end up after whatever adventure we had been on back in the day. Her sweet Dad, took off on a road trip and left us his house with a ton of food and nice beverages ;) We all rode together in Heather's mini van from here, should have gotten a pic of that! Then we came back and had a slumber party, guys included, and stayed up until about 4 laughing and watching videos. Our friend Linnea and Thea brought breakfast and coffee to us in the morning and the laughter continued! Her dad also arranged for us to be able to swim at the Elks Lodge so our kids could play together too.

We went to another gathering Saturday night in an area of Ft.Worth that is new to me and SO COOL!!! Man, I wish I still lived in that area! That night we all (girls) made our name tags to read the last name Shaw and decided we would pretend to be Sister Wives with Joel (who also was my prom date) being our common husband! When that gig was up we switched around true nametags. Same old goofy bunch! My friend John had come and gotten me and then drove me around the area to see how things had changed. It was great to have time with just him catching up.

That night I realized there were so many people that I had really not gotten to know of which I had known my whole life! I guess that happens in a big city and when you graduate with over 700 people! Sad none the less though.

The next evening Heather had us once again but minus two travelers Maria and Joel and Holly who had left for YL camp, for fajitas and dessert. We were all a tad more mellow. It turns out staying up all night takes a toll on 38 year old bodies as compared to our 18 year old ones! Here are few pics from the festivities. I hope blogger actually cooperates and posts.

Boys's beds

Scored these twin beds at a community church garage sale close to our baseball fields after a game about a month ago. Paid $40.00 TOTAL! I plan to paint them and coordinate them in a room to be shared by my 8 year old and 2 year old.

Six years is a big difference in age. I did not think I would be going this route. Ty's room was once the playroom until Levi arrived. Levi will be in a regular bed by the end of summer. Both of my other children were out of a crib by 2 years old but Levi is.... different. In EVERY way. He does sleep through the night and takes great naps, which is a HUGE blessing for how active he is. He is just now walking himself to bed and not crying himself to sleep. We may be closer than end of summer but I have a lot to do before his new bed will be ready. Right now he goes to bed at least an hour before the older two. Summer is different though. We usually let the older two stay up later and watch tv.

This room change is especially going to be sad for Olivia. Ty has had a double bed since Levi was born. Ty's room is actually the mother-in-law suite in our house. Olivia sleeps in that bed with him every Friday night and more often in the summer. They are close friends and big snugglers. I love this for them. We also need another room though. For which I will be giving more information on at a later time and NO its not for another baby!!!

After pics to come....

End of the year MAYhem....

Our elemetary school has a play day, as opposed to Feild Day that we had back in tha day! I think its a better idea all around. No stress ALL play! This took place on a Friday. A day that Levi was not able to be at school and a day that nobody was available to watch him. Therefore, our time there was short. I thought he would love it and could participate in the bounce houses, playing with balls and the playground, however all he did was want to run from me while laughing. EPIC FAIL. I did manage to snap a few pics of Olivia and her friends but Ty's class was not until the afternoon and I missed it entirely :(

Ruidoso, New Mexico Baseball Tournament

My oldest son Ty (aka on team as Tybo) is 8 years old and on a select travel baseball team. This is our 4th year with the same team, The Lubbock Titans.  Our third tournament this spring was Memorial Day Weekend just four hours away. My parents came and took care of Levi while the four of us took off in Dad's Jeep to the mountains.  The baseball was great, although we turned out third :( , but the scenery was even greater.  Our little family needed this SO badly.  Levi is a precious blessing, however he is every bit of two.  He demands all of my attention when he is awake. This was a wonderful opportunity to focus on the older two and just enjoying nature. Perfect weather, and a perfect weekend! We all, with the exception of two families, stayed at Rainbow Lake cabins. They were just as cute inside as they are out.  The kids got to sleep in a loft! They had full kitchens and a relaxing porch overlooking the pond. Dad did good!

Our entire team took a break Sunday and ran to walmart to purchase some poles and went fishing. Two of the boys caught fish, but all had a ton of fun! 

I have now loaded pictures four times. I guess I will have to edit later :(
