October

This month has gone by very fast!  Other than the normal football season here in Granbury, we have been watching lots of baseball (maybe next year, Rangers!), visiting friends, and this weekend we attended a Quinceanera.  The coach that Trent coached football and soccer with in Cy-Fair has a daughter who just turned 15.  They have been planning her Quinceanera for over a year, and continuously let Trent know how much they wanted us to attend this celebration.  It was definitely a new experience for both of us, especially since we don't know Spanish, but worth the trip!  Trent was able to visit with a couple of the other coaches he coached with, and even saw a few of his former players/students.  Coach DeLuna was so glad that Trent was able to make it down.  I think they all miss Trent, and one of his students even asked if he was going to come back to Cy-Fair! :)  Here are a few pictures from this month.

We were the "Black Eyed P's" (for Phillips, get it?) :)

Bonnie was the deer, Cody was the hunter, and
Caiden was a Ninja Turtle

Latest Craft

I recently made another sign for a baby's nursery.  Thanks to my friend, Bonnie, for always giving me fun crafts to make!  Bonnie is giving this to a friend/coworker as a gift at an upcoming baby shower. Here are a few pictures of how it turned out.  (These pictures were taken with my phone, so the lighting isn't that great....)

Happy Fall Y'all!

Helloooooo!!  I can't believe this is the first time I've posted in over a month!!  Time is just flying by, and now it's already October!  Life with the Phillips' has been very busy with school and football these days, that when I'm actually home I don't feel like doing anything....not even blogging!! :)   


School has been going pretty well for both us.  Overall, our classes are not that bad!  I actually feel like this is my best group I've ever taught (they are so sweet!!).  However, I feel that I have spent way more time "after hours" this year than I've ever done before.  I have gone up to my classroom every weekend, except for a couple, to try to catch up.  I don't know why I haven't been as productive during the school day, but hopefully I'll figure out a better routine soon!!
Here are a few pictures of things we have been up to....


In September we went to Trent's hometown for Pioneer Reunion.  This is a big homecoming weekend, full of parades and rodeos.  Trent's dad is on the 9 Man Board, which is in charge of planning the events of the weekend.  Trent's mom is also very involved, as she helps with the Queens and float decorating.  The first 4 pictures are from Pioneer Reunion!

The junior class float---Trent's mom, Kandace, helped with this one!

This weekend was actually our first weekend to stay home.  Every weekend since before school started we have had plans and needed to travel, but this weekend we finally got to enjoy some down time.  We watched football (imagine that!), I actually got some house cleaning done, made pumpkin muffins, and I even put out my fall decor!  I don't have much, but here is what I did!  :)  I just love this time of year!!!
