Mainstay Farms

It was record heat and the dust was everywhere stuck onto our sweat but we made the most of our visit to Mainstay Farms. 

Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4014

The worlds largest steam locomotive and one of the only few that still runs is doing a country tour and rolled by our area of Texas so, of course, we had to go see it! It was actually super cool and the kiddos put quarters on the tracks before it rolled by and we ended up finding one that was squished!

October Beginnings

I got to do recess duty for a day and loved seeing my girl in her element...

And pictures from the teacher are a perk for room moms! 

He coaches baseball, soccer AND basketball. Daddy is the best!

Middle school fall lunch. They only get 1 day each fall and spring to have outside lunch be brought in and I'll never miss!

Sweet treats after school for these blond buddies...

Photographing some adorable 1st grade cheerleaders!

My dance mom friends and I tried out a hot tub/sauna/cold plunge facility to enjoy some relaxing time...

Ady and her friend wore almost the same outfit...

We survived family photos! HA! 

Another Home Depot workshop for the little man and Poppa...

I taught a bunch of little kids about photography at a local elementary school....

Taking cheer pictures of my friends kiddos is the best...

Byron Nelson football game. The bigs were off with their friends...

Wills buddy is on another team and they played each other so we had to get a picture!

Hans Zimmer

Back in 2000 when Gladiator came out, Derek and I started to fall in love with Hans Zimmer and his amazing composing skills. The score for Gladiator was simply perfection and that was followed by Pearl Harbor, Black Hawk Down, Da Vinci Code and so much more. He scored my favorite movie of all time; Interstellar. Typically he only tours over in Europe but came to America this year and Texas in September and it was the best splurge for us. The inception song was amazing, I cried a couple of times during the concert and it was just an awesome night with Derek.

Ady Horseback Riding

 Gramma & Poppa gifted Ady horseback riding for her birthday and she finally got to cash it in!
