Brothers Building A Fence

We have had a few fence pieces fall down. I love watching the boys fix the fence. They do almost everything together. Pickle is teaching Jumba, always. It is so cool to watch!

and acting goofy. Sugar's friend agreed to meet us at his parish for some social distance family confession time. It was beautiful. He was sitting in a Mary garden and we would walk up one by one. sitting away from him so he was safe. The entire family was able to go to the sacrament of confession. Being away from our Lord for so many weeks now was getting tough. We are praying but it isn't the same. I have no idea what the kids are posing for here, but I love the pictures. Family fun!

They are one cute bunch of people. I love them more than life itself. Now with a clean soul I can be a better mom. Thank you God.

What To Do During A Lockdown

We had dinner together every night and on the third night our table collapsed. We had been using an outdoor picnic table in our kitchen. We are just renting and I didn't want to spend the money on a table for a temporary space. The kids asked if we could go get a table. J and I were kind of shocked because everything was closed. Furniture is not essential according to the lock down measures. We talked about getting another plastic type of temporary table. Possible had enough. She has always wanted a nice table in the kitchen, renting or not. She looked upside plans on the internet, borrowed some tools and went shopping for lumber. She had everything pre-cut. My children then assembled a new farm house style table.

This is just crazy to me. I thought we might be lazy during the lock down, but my kids have other plans. I am so stinking proud of them. Today there were the boys with Princess under Possibles leadership. Amazing!

Last Basketball Game

Today was the last game. I am so proud of this kiddo. He worked hard to learn a new sport and then played his hardest. We owe our thanks to the ICD team and the coach. Thank you!

My Queens of Narnia

We are reading the Narnia Series with the twins and Jumba. I just love C.S.Lewis. He knows so much about Our Lord and it shows in the Narnia series. One can not read the series and not want to try Turkish Delight, or to feel the need for a sword and a Tiara. The fun thing is that the older kids all kit into the act.

He Makes A Basket

Another game for Jumba and his team.

These guys wanted a great position to see him play.

Jumba keeps doing his best. He plays as hard as he can every time he plays or practices. We love that about him. I also love how the siblings keep coming and keep cheering Jumba on. We were thrilled that he made the first basket.

Brothers Watching TV "Together"

Sometimes mom forgets how strong the brother bond really can be. Pickle and Jumba loved having Bear home for Christmas and now were pretending to watch tv with him. I was in the room and didn't even notice at first.

BROTHERS!!!!

Jumba and BasketBall

Bear has gone back to OKC but the rest of us are headed to Jumba's basketball game. He is doing great and trying so hard. His siblings are all enjoying the opportunity to watch him play.

Well, maybe not the twins. They are enjoying just hanging out.

Family time!

Way to play Jumba. He gets better and better.

Basket Ball Game

My crew arrived late last night. Everyone is here for Christmas! I am so very, very, very excited. I love having my babies all at home. They made it just in time for Jumba's first basketball game.

We were all so proud to watch Jumba play. He was playing so well. He had never played this game before. After a few practices, he was playing really well.

We celebrated with a huge meal at Steak n Shake.

Yeah Jumba!

Waiting for Bagel

Bagel was having tooth issues. We took her to the closest dentist and had to wait for her. These guys all looked so cute waiting for her that I had to snap a few picture.

Monday - One Last Day In Houston

We headed to the park for a fun afternoon with old friends. WE were with Mary's family, while she was back in school at SLU!

These gals are silly. Twin Adorable is enjoying her goofy grin smile.

The group had a MNO since I was in town. It was wonderful seeing all my friends. I wish I had more pictures.

Texas - We Have Arrived

The next morning we got up and headed to TX. After stopping to get some pictures across the state line we headed to Houston to meet up with Pooker and Goobers.

Ironically we ran into loads and loads of traffic just after we got into TX. So glad we moved.

The comfort of an old friend, Buc-ee's.

JavaJava and Pooker met Goobers and the rest of us at the Olive Garden. We had a great meal. It was awesome seeing these people! I love my kiddos.

WE love HEB!

What will I see here?

Take a peek into our life as a big family in Houston, TX. Welcome to the electronic journal for the Texas T family. This blog was created to share some moments of our life with you. Often having 11 children (including twins), homeschooling, and being incredibly active in our Catholic faith we are asked “How do you do it?” We invite you to look around, sign up as a follower, and peek into the answer to that question. Remember we are not a perfect family; but I won't post the bad stuff.

Thanks for visiting, Neen

The Nicene Creed

We believe (I believe) in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, and born of the Father before all ages. (God of God) light of light, true God of true God. Begotten not made, consubstantial to the Father, by whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven. And was incarnate of the Holy Ghost and of the Virgin Mary and was made man; was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered and was buried; and the third day rose again according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of the Father, and shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, of whose Kingdom there shall be no end. And (I believe) in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father (and the Son), who together with the Father and the Son is to be adored and glorified, who spoke by the Prophets. And one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We confess (I confess) one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for (I look for) the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help ~ Pray For Us!

Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Mother of the Church you are also our Mother of Perpetual Help. With hearts full of love for you we consecrate ourselves to your Immaculate Heart so that we may be your devoted children. Obtain for us true sorrow for our sins and fidelity to the promises of our Baptism. We consecrate our minds and hearts to you that we always do the Will of our heavenly Father. We consecrate our lives to you that we may love God better and live not for ourselves but for Christ, your Son and that we may see Him and serve Him in others. By this humble act of consecration dear Mother of Perpetual Help we pledge to model our lives on you, the perfect Christian. So that, consecrated to you in life and in death we may belong to your Divine Son for all eternity. Amen

St. Joseph ~ Pray For Us!

NINE-DAYS NOVENA TO ST. JOSEPH (Note: This prayer was found in the 50th year of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Sometime during the 16th century, it was sent by the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going into battle. It is said that whoever shall read this prayer or take it with them, shall never die a sudden death or be drowned, nor shall poison take effect on them; neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy, or shall be burned in any fire or shall be overpowered in battle.) Say this prayer for nine days for anything you may desire. Then let go and let God. Trust that whatever is the outcome of your novena is truly what is best for you in accordance with the will of God.) O Saint Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. O Saint Joseph, assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. O Saint Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me, and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. Amen O Saint Joseph, hear my prayers and obtain my petitions. O Saint Joseph, pray for me. (Mention your intention)

St. Bernard of Clairvaux

St. Bernard of Clairvaux wrote to a couple that had a miscarriage. In response to their question, “What is going to happen to my child? The child didn’t get baptized,” St. Bernard said, “Your faith spoke for this child. Baptism for this child was only delayed by time. Your faith suffices. The waters of your womb — were they not the waters of life for this child? Look at your tears. Are they not like the waters of baptism? Do not fear this. God’s ability to love is greater than our fears. Surrender everything to God.”

St. Jude ~ Pray For Us!

(Novena say this for 9 days) Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of difficult cases, of things almost despaired of, Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Intercede with God for me that He bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly - (make your request here)- and that I may praise God with you and all the saints forever. I promise, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor granted me by God and to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.

St. Anthony of Padua ~ Pray For Us!

Holy Saint Anthony, gentle and powerful in your help, your love for God and charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were always ready to request for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to obtain for me (request). The answer to my prayer may require a miracle. Even so, you are the Saint of miracles. Gentle and loving Saint Anthony, whose heart is ever full of human sympathy, take my petition to the Infant Savior for whom you have such a great love, and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen.
