Deacon's Heatwave Tournament

Deacon had his Heatwave soccer tournament this past weekend. They ended the regular season in 2nd place. It started with a game on Friday night which he won 4-2. He played really well and scored 3 goals.

My parents came over to watch him play. They are always "ultra" supportive as Deacon says. 

He and I went to dinner and celebrated with ice cream after since the rest of the family was at Cavin's football game. 

Saturday they huddled and got to work. They won the first game pretty easily. 

They made it to the championship game and unfortunately lost. This is like the 4th second place finish in a row. He can't seem to win the championship games. 

He played hard and did his best. It was the first time in a LONG time that he didn't have Ragnar coach him. His coach Lurie was the coach this season.

This year they won rings instead of trophies. 

Deacons teammates voted him as the MVP, so they gave him a special trophy. He is a big player on his team. I'm proud of him and he is so fun to watch and really LOVES to play soccer. 

Senior Night for AHS Football

November 1, 2025 was senior night at Turner stadium for the football game against Channelview High School. What started out as a beautiful afternoon, quickly turned into a cold, wet game. 

Cavin's official banner at Turner Stadium. 

We got to put up the banners and then go on the fields as they announced the seniors.

Our cute boy! I can't believe he's almost 18! 

Celebrating his accomplishments on the field. 

It got rainy and wet real fast! Since we were up by so much and ended up winning 70-0 my parents didn't make it the whole game. 

Cason is Cavins biggest cheerleader. 

We made it through the regular season and are on to playoffs. Each game it is the responsibility of the kickers (who knows WHY!) to bring cookies for the trainers and football players to the game for them to eat on the bus ride home. Thankfully the Walmart close to us was willing to donate them most of the season. It was so fun watching him progress each week. He is 64 for 65 in PATs for right now. He even got his first D1 scholarship offer from A&M prairie view. I am proud of his many years of hard work! 

Halloween 2025

Halloween has come and gone. I'm not sad as I don't really enjoy Halloween, but it is a fun night for the kids. We went to a church Trunk or Treat and Cavin participated in the haunted house while the others got candy.

Channing and her friends were mimicking the game "kiss, marry, kill" and she was the bride that represented Marry. 

Deacon was a glow in the dark Skelton again this year since it still fit ;)

Deacon got to trick with his friends Casey and Noah

We went around the neighborhood and hung out with friends. 

Cavin is a goofball. I am not sure if he lost a bet or what, but he was princess peach for Halloween. 

He looks pretty good :) haha. His friends were the other Super Mario characters. 

I'm grateful for the good friends my kids are able to be surrounded by.

Cavin's Sleep Study

Cavin is still trying to figure a few things out and we had to do a sleep study overnight to get some testing done. He and I got to hang out one night at a sleep center while he tried to sleep.

Thankfully we got the results back and he doesn't have sleep apnea so we are on to other testing. 

Concert Season

Cavin had his Fall Orchestra concert a couple weeks ago. I love watching him play. He has been great about doing musical performances in church so we have had the pleasure of hearing him more often.

He has great friends who enjoy music with him!

Channing also had her Fall choir concert. They have great programs at AHS that my kids are lucky to be a part of.

The program is much more developed that what she was used to in middle school and her voice is developing into a beautiful range. 

She gets to sing with one of her best friends Jenna.

I love that the kids all love music and are willing to develop and share their talents.
