All the Celebrating!

 

Madi tagged along with Hunter for his senior pictures. 
Halfway through, Hunter's mom said that Madi should join in some of the pictures. 
Madi said she wasn't dressed or ready for pictures!  
So Tiffany said she should wear Hunter's letterman jacket. I think they turned out so cute!
Madi wanted our puppies in her picture session a while back and I said they'd be too hard to handle. :)
So she wasn't happy when Hunter brought Ruger to his session! 
It was bittersweet reading Madi's end of volleyball season post. 
We know the best is yet to come, but endings are tough too. 
We went to Ryan Aycock's party to celebration his induction into the TTU Hall of Fame!
Madi and Hunter shared sweet pictures and words to celebrate 1 year of dating!

He brought her beautiful flowers on their way to dinner Sunday night.  I asked why yellow flowers and he said the first flowers he ever bought her on their first date were yellow. :) 
Matt hooked us up at work by getting a signed football by Jacob Rodriguez. We're giving it away at our Educator Tailgate at the last TTU home game. 
I don't often see straight-hair Madi so had to capture a pic. 
Sharing snaps with Madi Wednesday before they started church . . . 


Work was busy this past week . . . Levelland, South Plains College, Smyer, and Lubbock ISD. 
Thankful for my job! And when the SPC's president drives the bus while we take a tour of the campus, it's a pretty good day!




We cheered on Hunter and his team Friday night! 
It was almost a blow out! Hunter played so well!

Life Lately . . .


Football kept Madi and Hunter from being able to celebrate Halloween so they at least took a picture in their cute costumes for memory sakes. 
Cutest fireman and dalmatian I've ever seen. 
Madi joined Hunter's family for church on Sunday to witness and celebrate Austin's (Hunter's brother) baptism. 
Grandma Mayberry left Halloween goodies for Madi & Hunter. 
And Tripp & Maddie Girlfriend so they stopped by to get them and visit. 
Madi submitted GV's picture for a cutest dog contest and won! 

Thursday was a work trip for me to Fort Worth for the day. Early flights mean you find a place for breakfast and to work for a few hours before heading to my meeting. 
Thursday night was the symphony for Madi's NCL Class Cultural event. 
We met Alyssa, Elly and Abby and their moms for dinner at Torchy's first then headed to the symphony. 
I was happy to use the season tickets we buy for Debs every year. :) 
And once it hit November, the Heiders decorate. 
Madi and Hunter decorated the tree upstairs!  We are in the Christmas spirit around here!

Last Playoff Game - End of HS Volleyball!

They had a school wide send off for Madi and team last Monday! 

They also chartered a bus for any students wanting to go and support the girls at the game! 
All the parents came early and decorated the bus for the girls! 

We had family and friends each write a motivational message for them to read on the way!



Hunter road along with us and was a good sport while we ate dinner at Fuzzy's in Abilene with most of the other parents! 
Ready to play!
The whole team played hard but unfortunately couldn't win.


Sad for the season to be over but sure enjoyed every game! 




Madi brought home stuff from her locker. 
Then the end of season awards start coming in . . . 

So proud of Madi and her team!  These last 6 years have been so fun to watch. On to the next fun stage!
