12 days till Black Friday!!!!

Since we had a pretty relaxing weekend I took advantage and started making my Christmas list for everyone! For the first time EVER I had the hardest time making list for the boys. Does this mean they are spoiled? Maybe but I'm ok with it :)

I asked my 5 year Brayden what he wants for Christmas. He said: Ipod, ipad, 4 wheeler, bow n arrow and new toys. Who does he think he is? an IPAD and IPOD? Your 5 child seriously! I told my parents about it and guess what they are getting him AN IPOD and my sister is getting him Beats head phones! Like I said a little bit rotten.

Thankfully the youngest is unable to tell me what he wants yet so I get to make his list which is so much fun but so hard at the same time. He needs boring things like new shoes, clothes, jackets and a toy box. But I HAVE to throw in some fun toys with it bc those things are just boring. His birthday is in December on the 9th so I have to come up with stuff for both!

I try and stay away from Toys'R'Us because it is a MAD HOUSE! But I'm not sure if I will be able to this year they have some really good deals! But as always so does Wal-mart.

Found this cute mini 4-wheeler for the youngest @Walmart. Still debating but its pretty cute!




Found this WI game and Duck Dynasty set at Bass Pro for the Oldest! HE LOVES him some Duck Dynasty so this is a must!







Then of course there are lots of things I found for ME! This year my husband and I decided our gift to each other is a new TV and entertainment center. Im excited...This is when you know your getting old! This is the TV we are getting at Wal-mart!




Then Im going to HAVE to go to Kohls because they are going to have my dishes on sale I have purchased 3 sets of the Turquoise fiesta wear and need to buy the rest! How can I pass up this price! Yep I can't!




Found this TV for my mother & Father in law! They have a entertainment center and this is the biggest that will fit in it & its SUPER cheap!





Like I said I found more for me than for the kids but Im still working on it! More good deals to come!

LOVE me some BLACK FRIDAY Madness! My hubby loves that I am saving money but thinks I'm CRAZY!!!!

Happy Moday :)

First weekend Post Football

Well this was our first weekend post football season! It's always so weird that first Friday that we don't play! But that didn't mean we didn't go to a game!

My mother in law kept the kids and we went to watch Jason's hometown play 2.5 hrs away! We called it a date night! I'll take what I can get until football is really over!
It was a great game but they came up short!

Yesterday my boys and I enjoyed most of the day outside in the amazing Texas weather! Brayden and I did some target practice with his BB gun! He LOVED every min and so did mommy!





To make my day even BETTER my FAVORITE store kikilarue.com had a surprise 30% off sale! So this momma made a few purchases! Including my first Larue essential top (review and pics when I get it)!

It was a great weekend with family and I'm so not ready for it to be over!!!!

End of season Blues

Well it's been a min since I blogged. Last week was the end of our season! We fell one game short of the play offs which I think is harder than coming in dead last! So close yet so far away! I wanted it so bad for our seniors the coaches an the rest of the players! They have overcome so much this year and weren't at all ready to be done!

Every year seeing the seniors after their last game so emotional and my husband too! This years seniors hold a special place in our hearts as do all the kids we meet in coaching!

As a coaches wife these kids become like your own! They count on my husband to lead and guide them and be their mentor and friend! He does his best by them and their parents and to watch it all end so quick is so hard!

This weekend play offs started and we went to watch Meridian Jason's hometown team play. On Monday he spoke at their pep rally to get them ready for the upcoming game! Everyone raved over his speech and how good it was! Their team fell a touch down short to Detroit to end their season!

Of course all the teams from our district played in their play off games also and the team we beat Waco played Granbury and beat them 50-7! :( that stings a little!

Anyway! That's a wrap up if the last few weeks! :)

So ready for the holidays and lots of family time! :)

Weekend Wrap Up

It was off week so we didn't have a game to go to Friday and Jason didn't have to scout! To Mimi's house we went!






Jason needed to do some thing with his deer feeders and we just wanted to get away! Where did we end up Friday night! A football game lol Morgan was playing at home and we drove by our our way into town so of course we had to go watch! At least I got to visit with my sis n law and the boys got to Run around!

Saturday we went to our Best Friends house for a get together and then did absolutely NOTHING Saturday night besides watch football and the boys played! I love nothing more than watching them wrestle!



Today we went to our new Church that we Love! It just makes for a great start to the day on Sunday and the week ahead! Ready to take on this week and our first district game! Go Jackets! :)

Wednesday Night Dinner

This is one of my FAV recipes! Quick Easy & pretty Healthy!

Chicken Tostada Upside Down Bake


3 Tbs. olive oil, divided
1 med. onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 small or 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, shredded and lightly seasoned with salt and pepper
1 can diced tomatoes, fire roasted is great with this recipe
1 can corn, drained
1 can black beans, drained
1 can black olives, drained and chopped
1 packet ranch dressing mix
1 1/2 Tbs. ground cumin
Pinch of kosher salt and pepper
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls, the sheets are easiest
1/4 tsp. Lawry’s garlic salt with parsley
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded


Preheat oven to 350 degrees . Heat 2 Tbs. of the oil in adutch oven or other large pot over medium heat. Saute onions for 5 minutes then add in garlic; cook for an additional 1 minute. Add chicken, tomatoes, corn, black beans, olives, ranch seasoning, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, until heated through, then stir in cilantro.

Pour into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Place crescent roll sheet over top of chicken mixture, brush lightly with remaining olive oil and season with garlic salt. If you are using the regular crescent rolls, unroll and press perforations together with fingers then place over chicken. Bake for 20 minutes, until just starting to brown. Top with cheese and bake for an additional 15-18 minutes or until cheese is melted and crescent dough is cooked through. Remove and let cool!

I'm BACK!!!!!

Its been years since I have written a blog and I am wanting to start it back up! So much has happened since the last update. I plan to blog about recipes, workouts, the kids, being a coaches wife and much more! I Hope to blog daily but if not daily at LEAST weekly!

Football Season

Football season is well on its way and busy as ever. Jason has coached three games so far and is LOVING every minute of it. They are 0-3 right now which kinda stinks but its a "work in progress". They have a completly new coaching staff and the kids haven't had a winning team in about two years. Everyone seems to be having fun and working hard for a win. Tomorrow is the homecoming gave vs Scurry Rosser. So we are keeping our fingers crossed for a win! Things have been crazy since football has started but we are loving it. There is no explanation for the feeling I get when I see Jason out there with those kids doing what he LOVES and having so much FUN. We have been blessed with a WONDERFUL coaching staff and families surrounding us in our first year. We have met wonderful friends and are SO happy.

Also I got a new job at Hill Regional Hospital in Hillsboro and will be working there part time starting October 6th. I am very excited because I will get to spend ALOT more time with Brayden and be able to make it to all of Jason's football games! So things are going really well for us. I will update again this weekend. Hopefully with news of a WIN tomorrow!
