We celebrated NYE in the airport but were excited for NYD as Ole Miss was playing Baylor.
Our neighbors are all Ole Miss or Baylor fans funny enough!
We were looking forward to a fun watch party!
Sadly, our QB got hurt and we ended up losing but at least we tried to make it a game!
Either way, it was a great night!!
John and I left a few days later for West Palm. It was nice after snow in CO with the kiddos.

His work had such a great year that they invited the spouses for a fun couple of days.
I vote we get to do this every year. Ha
Meanwhile back in TX....movies.
And our favorite Chinese food.
Im sad this picture is tuned but it was FREEZING for football.
We were sad that every team we rooted for in the playoffs lost. Lol
But happy when the ice/snow came and we got to skip school for a couple of play days.
We woke up and saw ice and tons of sleet!
Thankfully, we had our ski gear to keep up warm!
And while we were out there playing, it started snowing HUGE flakes!
Football in the snow.
Those ski goggles came in handy for the little guys!
Love our neighborhood!
It was COLD
The only bad thing about that ice/snow was we had a surprise 40th bday party planned for our dear friend! People just weren't willing to drive to the venue, understandably. Last minute, we had to switch venues to our house and only neighbors were invited that could walk.
And after, we got to celebrate at Hollywood Studios with the cheerleader herself.
Brody did really well at 7 on 7 football. He led the team with catches and had a pick (first video there but it i hard to see). He ended up playing on A team for offense and defense by the end of the season and it was 100% earned. Those coaches didn't know him at all and seemed to have no faith in him at the start of the season. It was fun to see him work at something to prove himself.
Mason and most of his baseball team (plus a couple of friends) have been having a GREAT basketball season. They have so much fun out there and it is evident when watching them play.
Brody is also playing with half of his baseball team plus a million others given to us during a draft. We have way too many players but they are still enjoying it!
This sign looked MUCH bigger in our house than it was supposed to but that's okay!
It was SO MUCH FUN.
Casino night was a BIG hit and I cannot wait for an excuse to do it again!
I have always loved Texas Hold 'Em and found out I still do!
The only thing that didn't work out (besides venue and other guests) was the cake.
We had to last minute grab whatever we could find. Ha.
After casino night, we turned it into a dance/karaoke party!
I do have to say, we throw the bet 40th parties!
The next weekend, I got to live out a DREAM!!
Brinkley was competing at UCA Nationals and they let me tag along!!!! I will never get to do this with my boys and cheerleading IS MY JAM.
Even better, I got to hang with this guy at Magic Kingdom too!
50th Anniversary
Back together again!
Flying Dumbo
We just so happened to walk up on several parades as well as the lighting of the castle!
No planning needed here, we were just at the right place at the right time!
Saturday, they had prelims and did great!
I won't ever be able to get over how much more difficult these routines are than when we were growing up. It is impressive!
Announcing their bid to finals!
Then we had one relaxing time at the pool. It was a fabulous set up with a lazy river and full service.
I could definitely go back there again!
Sunday was Finals and THEY WERE AMAZING.
I had so much adrenaline that it felt like I was competing!
We screamed as loud as we could to do our part! Ha
They placed 3rd in the Nation!!!!
SUPER proud aunt over here!!!
They had so many practices and team meetings that she hadn't been able to hang until then.
We were happy to have her!
Who says you need your own kids in Disney?!?! ha
Double fisting in Disney on Super Bowl Sunday night.
After Hollywood, we were off to Magic Kingdom. UCA rented it out from 10-2am.
Yes, you read that right, 2am.
We rode rides and ate. We were tired and leaving a little early until we saw the dance party with the DJ. It was loud and fun! We danced the night away and had a blast. It was a great way to end my trip!
They were able to stay another day but I headed back home on Monday as my people missed me.
I had so much fun and was so thankful they let me tag along!!!!
I got home early (which means I didn't get much sleep. ha) and was able to surprise Brody with lunch!
