After all of the dress up and diaper changing this morning, I took the kids out to the lake to play in the sand.  It was a bit rainy and overcast, but there are days when I just can’t stay inside- no matter how pregnant I feel.  So off we went and we had a [...]

We got to go out of town this weekend to celebrate our niece Sadie’s first birthday.  Chris’s sister and brother-in-law live in Austin and it’s always a lot of fun to go visit them.  We don’t get to see them enough, but will always leap at the opportunity that birthdays present.  We had a great [...]

We had a good weekend and I actually feel a little more rested than I do most weekends.  We spent some great time relaxing with family, and today we took the kids to the Dallas Zoo.  For the record, about half of Dallas had the same idea and were also in attendance at the zoo.  [...]

Our friends Jami and Matt invited us to a weekend at their uncle’s ranch. It was loads of fun- we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and I finally completely got over the sinus infection that seemed to go on forever. The kids had a blast too- they both got to ride a horse and swim in the [...]

Well, well, well.  It’s Monday, and last night I thought I would get ahead of the game and finish all the laundry, put all the dishes away, have the house tidy, and just generally have things in order before the week started.  I thought that would help me not have to stress out this morning [...]

On the 5th of July we headed out to a friend’s community pool to have our swim family party.  It was really fun.  The kids swam and had a blast.  All the husbands got to meet and find out who all these women are that we mention when it comes to mops.  Fun, fun, fun… [...]

First I have to say how glad I am to live in America.  The freedom we enjoy is unparalleled and I simply love this country.  Even with a messy economy, and all that is going on right now in politics, I am so thankful to be an American.  God bless America! We went over to [...]

So here are some pictures from the pool yesterday.  Kiddie pools back in my day consisted of a big round 1 or 2 ft. pool of water next to the main pool at all the public parks.  My kids love this pool though and I love it because it keeps them entertained for hours at [...]

Aunt Patti came in town this weekend and we had a blast with her.  On Friday we took the kids to the community pool, which has an awesome splash park, complete with kid-sized water slides.  That was so much fun to do with her.  I didn’t get a picture of it because Asher is still [...]

Actually I loved the cooler temps after the shower today. It gets so hot here in the summer- every single year of my life I have sworn that I wasn’t meant to live in Texas. Yet I am a southern girl, through and through. I love being a mom for many reasons. Watching two little [...]
