SHSU,Big Doe,Zone Champs, We are the Tigers!
We went to the Sam Houston state game last saturday. We took the kids and the
y had alot of fun. I got tickets way down in front and we were in the endzone. I haven't been to a game in a long time but I think I will go more often. We saw Tommy Grisham and his dad there and Brad got h
is picture taken with them as you can see. We also saw Adam Clanton , he is Natalie White's husband. He works on channel two and does the sports. It was good to see him , he is a nice guy and I have been twittering with him. I hope someday my kids will want to go to SHSU or SFA. It was a great place and I would love to send my money t
here for them to go.
Deer season has started. Last weekend was youth weekend. I normally let Mady shoot first since she is the oldest. I had a new stand built this year big enough for all three of us. Dale gave me some chairs so now there are three chairs in a 4 X 8 box. It fits us nicely. Anyway, we saw some deer saturday night but Mady couldn't get a close enough shot. Then sunday morning was the same. It was Halloween so Mady wanted to com
e home and trick or treat. Brad wanted to stay and hunt sunday night. he said he just knew a deer would
come out. So Mady rode home with Stephen and me and Brad stayed and sure enough a big doe came out right in front of us at 118 yards away. Brad was watching "Talledega Nights" on the ipod so I pulled his head phones off and handed him the gun. He sat on my lap for a sec, then stood up and steadied the gun. He said he was ready and I pulled back the safety. He made a great shot, she ran about 10 yards and fell. He was so excited and talked the whole time when we went to get her. We cleaned the deer and even made it home in time for him to do a little trick or treating. He did fall asleep on the way home and woke up in northshore crying because it was late and he wasn't gonna get to trick or treat but it all worked out. I will go back this weekend and hunt. It should be a good weekend and relaxing with my friends. I really enjoy taking them hunting. I never got to do stuff like that with my dad so I think I am getting as much out fo this or more than they are LOL. I just want us to make some good memories and them look back on good times spent out in the woods.

We played the Falcons and they were similar to us but they had a huge running back that we ended up not being able to stop. We kept the game close but had a touchdown called back which I thought was ridiculous. It was kinda sad because Brad cried because we lost. I did like that he made it important and showed emotion. Looking forward to seeing him mature and grow in football the next couple of years. I did tell him I was sorry he didn't play as much defense. I will give him more chances on defense next year. Overall it was a good year and we ended up 7-3. They sing a song that Andy Miller leads them in after each victory. It is pretty cool and the kids love it. The video I believe is at the bottom. Brad is the one jumping up and down through it.
Mady's team played DPJH for the zone championship in volleyball and won. It was a great match all the girls 
on both sides are great friends. It went three games and was close a
ll three. Mady played pretty good but I can tell she gets kinda jittery and doesn't want to make a mistake. But it was so exciting seeing your child's team win and seeing her jump around and get excited about it. She is really enjoying 7th grade. She is becoming good friends with Christine Holden who lives around the corner. I am beginning to watch her build these life long friendships that I have been talking about.Dan Lounsbury is a huge raider fan and I said I would mention how impor
tant the chiefs vs raiders game is this weekend. So there I did it. the Texans lost to the colts on 
MNF and it was horrible and I am not talking about that today.

Wenke and Chad Grant make it and so I went and bought a kit and am trying it. the first batch is done on December 1st. I will take some pics and post them about the process on a seperate blog in the next couple days. Can't wait to taste it.
