Life Lately

Life lately has been crazy busy! We've entered in to this stage where the girls have to be in all these places at once, and I've had to enlist a ton of help so everyone can be where they need to be! It's been crazy! I've told myself that if I can just get through October 8th, things will slow down a bit! So, I've been counting down to this coming Saturday for a while! 

Okay, here's a look at how crazy life has been! 

I picked up Megan from school and we were twinning! We had both put on leggings, white tops, and a yellow flannel around our waist! 

She had gymnastic picture re-takes, and looked adorable heading out the door, so we did a quick photo at home before leaving for gymnastics. 

Last Wednesday, we baked our "treat tuesday" dessert that went out in our weekly email series! 

I'm still getting in my 30 minutes of movement each day and now that the weather is slightly cooler, i've added more walking in to my routine! 

Thursday night, Gretchen had a school event, Megan was at gymnastics, so I crashed "date night" with DJ and Adalyn! Or maybe she crashed ours. 

Friday was so fun! The girls have auditioned for a company here in Austin that shoots Amazon videos. They had to go in and take head shots and record a little video audition. 

They may or may not be cast for jobs, but the process was fun for them and they were all really excited; especially Gretchen who loves acting and has wanted to try something like this out for a while! 

We dropped Megan off at gymnastics, went homecoming dress shopping,  and took Adalyn to meet DJ so they could go to a Texas soccer game! Texas played Baylor, which are both Adalyn's favorite teams, so she was in heaven! 

Saturday was a whirlwind! I was up at 7 to work out and get the oil changed in my car. Back home to shower, and to drive Megan to San Antonio for her gymnastics meet that afternoon. Meanwhile, DJ was at work already, so DJ's aunt took Adalyn to her soccer games. We are so thankful she's moved here and we have some help!

Plus, we got some great pictuers of this cutie in action! 

While Adalyn was at her games, Megan was competing in her next to last meet of the season. She'll finish out this weekend, and then we'll have a break until next August! She scored 8.775 on beam. 

Scored her highest score of this year on floor with an 8.55.

She's worked so hard to improve her floor routine this past week! 

She scored a 7.15 on vault, which is definitely her most difficult event. 

and an 8.6 on bars, another even that she had worked hard on over the last week. 

We were all smiles and ready to head back to Austin! (The competition was safari theme, so everyone had costumes after the meet was over. Megan chose to be an elephant.)

We made it home around 6:30 which just so happened to be kick off. We quickly changed, the other girls were ready, and after stopping for gas we made it to the stadium in the middle of the 2nd quarter! 

Gretchen claimed her spot in DJ's office with her book. 

We took a quick family picture- it had been a few weeks since we were all at a game together, so I try to grab a family pic when I can! The girls went to the meeting room to play with other staff kids

and I found my seats with our Uncle and his grandsons, 

and with my sweet friend from work!

The girls came out toward the end of the game to see their cousins, and head to the field post game. 

Adalyn high-fived as many players as she could for their win. 

And then chased a cheerleader down the field for a picture! 

We saw Bevo. 

And said goodbye to Uncle Ron, and thanked him for coming to the game!

We made it home around midnight, went straight to bed, slept in Sunday morning, cleaned the house some, and then settled in to watch Hocus Pocus 2 since we were finally all together without plans. 

Sunday night ended with our family dinner at the football office. 

It was a crazy busy week, but I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel; I can't believe we are halfway through the season!
