Trendy Mindy and Her Loves...: August Arrived

Swimming with Dumb and Dumber!!!

Fun with the HAWKINS!!!

We decided it was time to pass

on Hadlee's beloved doll house!

It kinda hurt...but Troy wasn't going

for me saving it for the grandkids.

He said he will buy them all new everything;)

Thankfully sweet Brandy's precious

girls were excited to take it

so that made it much easier!!!

Ryan passed along this catcher's gear to Huds!

Sometimes this little girl takes

my breath away...

She has the aerial down

on the trampoline!!! :)

I love some alone time with her!

All.Day.Every.Day.

Unfortunately Hayden G moved away:(

He was such a cutie. He and his family

will be very missed. He had a few kiddos

over to swim before he left.

He was the first boy that I know of

to have a crush on my girl;)

Hadlee LOVES how her mama is

loud and crazy in stores just to

Cromie Time!!!!!!!!!!

Ella had stayed over for the night.

I cracked up at Hadlee's text to me

at 3:27 am..."We are still awake

if that's ok"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly, I received word in August

that one of my former students

had died in a tragic diving accident

in our lake. I immediately had to

pull up pictures from his class

and there he was...........

I LOVED this group of kiddos

that I had in Pre-AP English II.

We held a very special candle light

vigil at MHS in honor of Nick.

The year I had Nick I was searching for

a white football helmet for Walker to

wear for Halloween with his A&M

football uniform. Nick was so quick to

tell me that he had one and that he would

bring it to school. Sure enough he did.

I had it for a while and then Hudson

came upon it and he LOVED it.

Nick let us keep it(:

Coach V then gave Hudson Midway

stickers for it. Hudson is in this helmet

soooooooooooooo often.

Such a reminder of Nick❤

This was my Facebook post about Nick...
"Larger than life, a force of nature, so lovable, quite the character" ... all words used to describe Nick at his service. As his former teacher, I couldn't agree more with those words!!!! My heart is broken for his family and friends. It's just unfathomable. As a parent, I absolutely loved what his dad had to say about leaving it all out there - all the time. I'll never forget Nick. In fact the year I had him, I was searching for a white football helmet for a costume for Walker. Nick jumped up and said he would bring me one and sure enough he did! That was Nick! Well, Hudson became attached to that helmet and Nick let us keep it and we even got Midway stickers for it. There are VERY few days that Hudson doesn't have that helmet on his head at some point in the day. We will treasure that most special helmet even more now...forever❥❤️ Nick was in one of my most favorite classes of all time. May God comfort his family and friends as only He can. So many prayers...."
