Lubbock-Cooper Homecoming Week!

 Each day this week is a dress up day to celebrate the upcoming Homecoming game on Friday. 

Monday was Neon Day!

 Tuesday was crazy hair and crazy dress day!  She has colored hair too!

 On Tuesday, we celebrated our co-worker Donna's 50th birthday by having lunch at the Tech Club. 

 It was a great time celebrating! 

 Wednesday was Super Hero Day! 

 Styling on the way to church Wednesday night!

 Thursday was Inside Out Day!

 She picked a skirt that Grandma Heider made because she loved how it looked inside out!

 Friday was Red & Black Day!

 Madi's science teacher Mrs. Jones sent us these pictures of the kids making root beer floats since they just finished learning about solids, liquids and gases. 

 I had to be sneaky to get the root beer into school without Madi knowing that morning.  :)

 I had a Friday afternoon meeting so Matt picked Madi up from school and off they went on a bike ride.

Which landed them at Cup of Yo for an after school treat!

 As soon as I got home she had to show me her "trick!"

It was such a great week but I'm definitely looking forward to our weekend!

Riding through another week . . .

 Tuesday morning - ready to start the short week!

 On our way to swim Tuesday night we saw the brightest rainbow.

 Wednesday

 I met a friend for coffee Wednesday morning and saw these Venus Fly Trap plants at Market St.  I didn't buy one then but took a picture to remember to get one soon for Madi.

 Thursday

 Friday was picture day!

 She showed us her smile she was going to give for pictures.  I bet they're cute!

 Friday afternoons/evenings have become our favorite time of the week.

 Matt has supper going on the grill, Madi is playing or reading in her hammock.

 And I'm enjoying the whole scene from my spot on the patio.

 Saturday morning we visited the 9-11 memorial for Madi's social studies' class.

 It's a beautiful reminder of what was lost that day.

 Saturday afternoon we headed to a new cupcake place in town called The Ruffled Cup to celebrate Maisen's 9th birthday.

 They had adorable personalized aprons to wear as they learned how to decorate cupcakes.

 They made one to eat and one to take home then played games.

 The birthday girl and her big sister Maygen!

 Saturday evening our nightly bike ride turned into an adventure as we crossed 98th street and rode through the golf course.

 Not a bad view at all!

 That night while Matt was watching the Tech game get started . . .

I enjoyed watching Full House with my girl in the hot tub!

Labor Day Weekend!

 Our Labor Day weekend was nice and relaxing.  

Our view for most of the Tech game Saturday night . . .

Sunday after church, Madi wanted to have a lemonade stand with her friend Devyn.

They had a blast and donated all the money to Luke's family. 

 Pretty soon almost every neighborhood kid was over in our front yard!

Sunday evening, we finally went and bought bikes for us so we could all ride together.

 

 Matt tried his out in the parking lot before we headed next door to Academy to find one for me.

 He didn't forget how to ride a bike!

 We rode all over our neighborhood and found places we hadn't seen before.

 The electric scooter isn't scary anymore so this is my view most afternoons . . .

 Seeing her whizzzzzzzzzzz by!

 More additions to the Halloween costume were found on Monday. 

A headpiece and tomahawk!

 On Monday's evening bike ride, we surprised Madi by riding straight to Cup of Yo for a treat!

 Matt said it was perfect since he just finished walking 18 holes of golf before our ride.

We definitely enjoyed our Labor Day weekend!

Week 2 in the books!

 Monday morning was nice and rainy! 

 Madi thought she forgot her homework Monday after school but found it in the car Tuesday morning.  So she finished it quickly before school even though it's not due until Friday.  :)  Just like her dad!

 Another rainy Tuesday

 After school reading and answering comprehension questions as I make dinner.

 Wednesday

 Thursday

 Ready for FRIDAY!

Saturday morning, Matt's tee time was later so he was able to join us at the Home Depot craft day.

 Maisen was out of town watching her sister play volleyball but even Grandma Mayberry came to watch her build a white board.

We're going to paint the finished product at home so a final picture will be coming soon.  :)

Friend-Filled Weekend!

 We picked up Margaret Saturday morning so she could spend the morning playing at our house.

 They were busy doing experiments, having tea parties and swimming in the hot tub.

 Saturday night was a cousin sleepover!

 Hot tub and warm cookies before bed!  Doesn't get much better.  :)

 Headed into church!

 Sunday afternoon we enjoyed a few holes of golf just the three of us.

It was much needed after a crazy friend-filled weekend!
