Rodeo Round-Up

This post is LONG overdue, but better late than never..right...

On Monday (the 8th) I went to the Rodeo with Tina and her friend Monica to see Tim McGraw and boy did he look nice...ha!

Tina's dad scored up great tickets right behind all of the bullriders..nice seats if you know what I mean....

I haven't seen Tim McGraw live in about 8 or 9 years, so needless to say I was excited. And let me tell you he did not disappoint. He not only walked around the entire arena while singing..he also sang for over an hour which is not typical for the rodeo. What was even better was that we knew all but ONE song the whole night. Here are a few pictures of Mr. McGraw...

The next night JJ and I went with some friends to see Darius Rucker..aka former lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish. He indeed sang 2 Hootie songs which was great. I am such a Hootie fan and apparently so was the rest of the crowd because everyone was belting out those two songs.

So by Wednesday afternoon the Hubs and I were beat! We ordered pizza and crashed early that night.

We love going to the rodeo and the cook-off...it is always a great time.

I am hoping to be better with blogging now that Spring is here (although you would not have known it this weekend) and there are several fun activities planned for the upcoming months.

Spring Break is over and I am quite sad about it...but that means only 9 more weeks of school until summer! YAY!

peace.love.family

Time for a change...

that's right ladies..it is time to chop off the locks! i ALWAYS had above the shoulder hair...then we got engaged, so I HAD to grow it out...well we have been married for almost a year and surprisingly it is still here.

well after tomorrow morning the long locks will be no more! and i honestly i am so ready for a short new do for spring and summer.

here is a picture from a few summers ago that i am leaning towards...

we shall see what tracine whips up tomorrow! so ready for shorter healthier hair!

here's the deal...

i planned on taking pictures of the yard and posting them..well its raining plus it has been a VERY annoying day so far...so I am going to sit on the couch and relax from this headache and hopefully will post later.

hope everyone had a great weekend AND I promise to post pics soon!

ps thanks to all our friends and family for coming over sunday and kicking off spring with us! it was a blast!

Let's Make a Deal...

I promise to update soon, but in the mean time. I will share the upcoming plans for the weekend!

JJ and I are planning to finish ridding our yard of weeds and mulching the flowerbeds. I am also planning on planting flowers and and some knock-out roses as well.

We love our backyard..dont get me wrong..but it needs a bit more color! So that is the plan.

My sweet husband told me last night that if I would let him play in a golf tournament this afternoon that I could go buy the roses I had been eyeing for a few months now..and the rest of the flowers for the flowerbeds and pots...so sweet right??? In all honesty I would MUCH rather him play golf then softball. He gives 100% to all hobbies, but softball is a bit more abusive on the body than golf is...

So Saturday we will spend in the yard and then Sunday we are grilling out for some friends and kicking off it the spring! Thank you for gorgeous clear blue skies!

So here's to my spring break fastly approaching and starting the weekend off at Home Depot and Houston Garden Center.

Updates coming soon....

I am hoping to get to the updates tonight! it has been super busy in the lenz casa the past few weeks and now is starting to slow down a bit...yard work, rodeo, house projects...you name it we have been wrapped up in the hussle and bussle of being homeowners! we are loving it..to know we are the ones doing it all is really rewarding.

only one more day then spring break! yay!!! we can do it fellow public ed workers!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful mother!

Today is my mom's birthday! I am so glad it was a gorgeous day to celebrate! She had lunch with some friends at a fabulous place in town. Apparently it is amazing..she raved about it all day. She was showered with love. I don't want to go on and on about how great she is..because well simply put: she is. She is the best mother I could have ever imagined. I tell her and my dad weekly that Ben and I are so blessed...She loves her family unconditionally. She is and will always be the mom I hope I am when we have our own kiddos. So in a nutshell she is pretty stinkin amazing...
