First day of School

Tristen started 5th grade today and Colby started 4th grade. They both enjoyed their first day of school. Hopefully, the enjoyment will last!!! Both boys started baseball over the weekend. Colby is on the Diamondbacks and Tristen is on the Raptors. Their baseball games start in mid-September, but for now, both have practices 3 times a week.

Amanda's birthday

We went out Saturday night for my birthday. We had dinner at La Hacienda, one of my favorite restaurants. After dinner, a few of us went out to Blackfinn. Thanks to everyone who came. We'll be celebrating my actual birthday at the Ranger game w/Tristen and Colby on Wednesday. Below are a few pictures from Saturday night.

Our blog

I've created this to keep everyone updated on the lastest in our family. Our lives are about to be crazy busy with school, baseball and softball. I figured this would be a good way to keep in touch with everyone.

Tristen and Colby start school on Monday, Aug. 27th. We had Tristen's 'Meet the Teacher' last night. Tristen is excited to start 5th grade. Hopefully, his excitement will last, but that is doubtful. LOL! Colby's 'Meet the Teacher' is on Thursday and he is excited as well. Both of the boys have been registered for baseball and this season is the first season we are trying to juggle 2 different teams. The past 2 seasons, we have had Colby playing a level up so he can play with Tristen. We are hoping to remain sane during the next 3 months! Time will only tell.

Jason is trying out for a Sunday softball league, so our Fridays and Sundays will be spent at the softball fields. He continues to ride his bike and play golf. For now, my time is spent trying to keep everyone on schedule and maintaining everything else. Now that the wedding planning is over, I'm assuming it is time for me to find a new hobby. Hrm.....

We have been house hunting, but just browsing. We plan on buying sometime next late April - May. Our lease ends at the end of May, so hopefully we will be able to time everything perfectly. We have been looking in the Lewisville, Flower Mound, Little Elm, West Frisco, and Carrollton areas. Other plans are to get Jason's landscaping business off of the ground within the next 2 years. We are hopeful that this will all happen. It is a pretty big goal, but we think that we can achieve it.
