TCU Football, A Season in Review

I have really been slacking on my blogging this year. This past year I have been working on other areas in my life and as a result, the blogging aspect suffered. It isn't a bad thing, but I'm ready to get back on the wagon. Or until I'm caught up. Part of the reason I'm slacking on my blog is because of all the kids activities and going out of town for most all of the TCU home games. 

It was a great season for TCU & we enjoyed celebrating each game with our friends. 

The kids LOVE going to the games and running on the field. 

I can't wait tip next year!

Go Frogs!!

Christmas at the Caswell House

Over the holidays I gathered up the kids, called some friends and planned an afternoon with Santa.

The Santa wasn't the best. 

The cookies were Sams Choice.

But....

 The kids had a great time.

Labor Day Weekend, a long time ago...

Over Labor Day Weekend, which feels like a year ago, we went to the Boccella's lake house at Lake LBJ.  We had a fantastic time with our friends and our kids friends. 

The trip included several hours on the boat cruising and singing at the top of our lungs. 

The Boccella's house is in quiet cove which is perfect for little kids. 

We took our breaks from the boat soaking and playing in the calm waters. 

Mr. Boccella loves to fish and Drew was fascinated by all his fishing trap and trinkets. 

Drew spent the majority of his time checking the traps for fish. 

Mr. Boccella also took an afternoon and taught (or tried to teach) all the boys how to wakeboard. 

A New Adventure...

This summer, not only did I join a swim team, I picked up tennis.

If you don't play, I beg you not to.

It's addicting. 

I had been pleading with our club to start a "Tennis 101" class this summer.

I was told they it's offered during the fall and to wait tip then. 

Well I couldn't wait.

So I recruited a few ladies in the neighborhood, emailed the tennis pro, 

and *snap*, I have my "Tennis 101" class in the summer. 

Our tennis pro is Sam Jones, SU alumni and Dallas native.

He had no idea that this group of girls would be a different kind of "tennis girls".

We DO like to play and I'd say we are 3.0's already.

However, we do enjoy creating funny team names and making T-Shirts over 

actually PLAYING the game of tennis. 

Luckily Sam is a pretty cool guy.

When we text him and say "wear pink" he shows up in Pink.

I did mention that we were addicted right?

So much so, that we got our husbands into tennis. 

I actually think they show up for their lessons more than the girls do.

We have all met up and created our own tennis tournaments. 

We draw names (we obviously can't play with our spouses) to see who our teammate will be. 

We play 6 sets and the winner moves on. 

These evening have been a BLAST and usually last 5 hours!

Meet the Tuckers

Every summer Sam works at Camp Longhorn and we were fortunate enough that invited Drew over to their house for a swim lesson. 

Since we were in the area we stopped and had dinner at Ables on the Lake. 

Delicious. 

1st Grade

Over the past year Drew has developed a close friendship with these boys. 

They have spent countless hours swimming laps together or catching passes on the football field. 

Despite being in different kindergarten classes, they managed to spend every recess together. 

I decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity and had all the moms run out and get Georgetown Blue jerseys and we each selected a number that matched their graduating year.

Until next year....
