The Weekend before School Starts . . .

 We've enjoyed both rooms at Trapped! Escape the Room! so when they offered a free try at the new room as a test group we and the Foleys jumped at the chance!

 It's fun to stumble across our picture on Facebook . . .

 Sunday was Promotion Sunday at church.  So these girls now attend 2nd grade Sunday School.

 I flew out Sunday afternoon to Phoenix.  I had to snap this picture as I landed in Vegas along the way just to send to Matt.  :)

 I tried to reassure him that this was my view and not enjoying the Strip in Vegas without him. 

 When buying some almonds the lady told me it would be cheaper to do the 2 for deal so I had to get Madi some of her favorite candy!

 This girl wasn't too happy that I was leaving for four nights and during the first week of school so Matt kept her busy!

Petsmart up first . . . 

 A little putting in the backyard . . .

 A trip through the car wash!

 And dinner at her favorite place Souper Salad!

 I enjoyed getting all their pictures even though I was enjoying an amazing dinner in my hotel.  :)

 Seeing these memories really don't help either when I'm so far away.

But thankfully we are all ready for the first day of school!

Last Week of Summer!

 Monday - off to Aunt Shelle's house!  Madi did a lot of fun stuff with her cousins for the last week of summer - Chuck E. Cheese, Chick-fila, Mall playground, park, pool, the gym, . . . and much more!

 Memories of "playing school" with Madi . . .

 Tuesday morning Matt took Madi to Shelle's house while I had an early morning appointment.

 Friday

 Friday night Madi and I tried on the clothes she wants to wear the first week of school since I'll be gone until Thursday. 

 She's very excited about wearing more dresses and her new shoes - chaco's and converses.

 I think she's going to look great and have a great week!

 This is the first day of school outfit!

 Madi trying out the new putting green her Daddy built for them.

 We had to spend Saturday afternoon at the pool!

 Goodbye Summer!

Meeting Mrs. Skoog!

 Last Monday evening, we loaded up and headed to Meet the Teacher night at Madi's school.

 We took a picture before going in, but crazy me wanted one without Madi's peppermint sticking out of her mouth!

 Having a good friend that is also a teacher at Madi's school has its privileges.  

We got to meet Mrs. Skoog last year once we decided Madi and Maisen would be in her class.

Madi wanted to wear the same dress to Meet the Teacher that she did the last two years!

Her memory cracks me up!

 Mrs. Olivarez & Madi

We sure get a bunch of years out of our dresses!

A BIG Week!

 Last Saturday morning we found ourselves at the Farmer's Market downtown to buy some more of the delicious sausage from Kress, Texas.  

Obligatory Buddy Holly Glasses picture had to happen . . .

 Then Madi and I walked to Bahama Bucks to buy her a snow cone while Matt got a new battery for his truck.

 Madi wanted to teach us what she learned about sewing from Ms.  Hanna when and I quote "y'all don't have a lot to do so you can listen and learn."

 She seems very interested in sewing and loves going to Ms. Hanna's for lessons.

 Showing us her bobbin . . .

 Not sure why she was showing us on the floor???

 

Matt finally talked me into having a Mojito with him while we grilled dinner out back.  :)

 I got home Monday to a surprise from Matt.  I randomly say I love things like these candles at my friend Stephanie's house and then they appear at our house!  I've already burned them and love the way our house smells!

 Madi spent Monday with Aunt Shelle and Grandma Mayberry.  They had lunch at 50th street and this was one of her prizes!

 Matt had a couple of appointments on Tuesday so he took the day off and had a Daddy/Madi day watching movies!

 I spent Tuesday holding orientation for 200 plus teacher candidates about to start their student teaching.

 Wednesday

 Thursday morning I left at 6am to present in Snyder so this was my view along the way.

 Matt took Madi to Aunt Shelle's house for the day.

 I was back in town from Snyder by 1pm to check on Grandma Mayberry since she had shoulder surgery and then to take Madi to her sewing lesson with Ms. Hanna.

 Then Thursday night we had dinner at Roadhouse to celebrate a BIG week in the Heider house!

Matt got an offer (actually two!) from the accounting firm he's been wanting and accepted it! 

We are excited for his new adventure beginning in December!

 Friday

 Man, these memories make me realize how quickly time is passing by!

 Madi made tails out of different ribbons so she could be a dog and cat.

 I got the honor of petting Snowball and Snowflake all afternoon.

 She even has a water dish and food bowl.  :)

 Saturday we spent the afternoon at the pool with the Daniels and Foleys.

 Then we cleaned up and headed to the Foley's house for a cook-out, game night and hot tub time!

These girls have the neatest friendship and love spending time together!
