Halloween 2014 Card Made by Pam

I had some spare time one day and actually got to make a Halloween card, here it is.  

I think it's pretty cute.  

Happy Halloween everyone!

2014-2015 School Year and life so far

WOW!  I am WAY behind on blogging that's for sure.  My last blog is from August 2013 when Juliana was starting 9th grade and Bella was starting 3rd grade.  A lot has changed since then for sure.

First of all it it now October 2014 and Juliana is in 10th grade, finishing up CLHS Falcon Marching Band season #2 and Bella is in 4th grade and in choir and has joined the Chess club at school.  Walt is the executive on loan to the Houston Technology Center and just excelling at his job like crazy.  I am still working my same job and leading 2 girl scout troops, mentoring a new Daisy troop and just trying to keep up with my family's schedule.  

I need to get better at this blogging thing and maybe blog about an interest i have outside of the girls and Walt.  I wish i had more time to make my cards and scrapbooks, but spare time is far and few.  When i have spare time, I'm exhausted, LOL!

Anyhow below are pictures of the girls on their first days of 10th and 3rd grades this year.

First day of 9th and 3rd Grades

I just thought I'd start the ball rolling with the first day of school pictures and updates. 

Juliana started 9th grade at Clear Lake High School and was a bit nervous this morning.  I'm sure once she walks through her schedule and gets back and forth from the 9th grade building to the main building, she'll feel better about things.  She has 3 classes in the main building; Medical Terminology, band and Spanish.  She's LOVING marching band and the first high school game is this Friday night in Deer Park. 

The complete football schedule is as follows (all games start at 7 PM).  The games at CCISD stadium are home games:
Friday 8/30/13 - at deer park
Thursday 9/5/13 - at Pasadena memorial
Thursday 9/12/13 - at CCISD stadium - Baytown Sterling
Friday 9/20/13 - At Conroe
Friday 9/27/13 - At CCISD stadium - Clear Creek
Friday 10/4/13 - at CCISD stadium - Clear Brook
Friday 10/11/13 - At Brazoswood
Friday 10/18/13 - at CCISD Stadium - Clear Springs (homecoming game)
Friday 10/31/13 - at CCISD stadium - Clear Falls
Thursday 11/7/13 - at CCISD stadium - Dickinson (senior night)


Bella started 3rd grade is was a tad nervous this morning so she asked me to walk her in to her class.  She held my hand the whole way and was a little reluctant for me to leave, but when she walked into the classroom her friend Olivia (who she has known since preschool) greeted her and hugged her.  She will be starting softball soon (next week I think) so as soon as we hear her schedule, I'll pass it on to everyone, the Fall season ends before Thanksgiving, that much we know.

Anyhow that's the update and pictures from our house, I hope kindergarten drop off went well for Wade and Lauren and I hope we get to see some pictures, they are gonna ROCK kindergarten I'm sure!

Life's Rules

Just thought I'd share as a quick reminder for life:

Don’t work so hard that you miss your kids and families life: Simplify your life 

Choose happiness, silliness and laughter 

Stay in touch with friends 

Express feelings so as to not settle for something you don’t want 

Have the courage to live a life true to yourself, not the life others expect of you
