| Just Me & George Enjoying An Afternoon Together 2008-05-21 08:24:00 We haven't been getting a lot of sun around here lately. It feels more like April instead of almost June. I don't mind the darker cooler rainy days because I'm not a fan of the heat. I know it sounds odd coming from a Native Texan, but it's true. You can find me hiding indoors away from the 100+ degrees during the summer days. Of course, since having kids, I am also forced into going to the beach, Read more:George

| WooHoo, Happy Birthday To My Nephew: LANE 2008-05-24 08:24:00 It's my nephew's big day. He is celebrating his 9th birthday. It's hard to say 9th, it's hard to believe he is that old now, it's even harder to believe I am getting that old!Lane and Michael are pretty close in age so when we go to visit everyone back home we get to watch Michael and Lane hang out together. They do all kinds of things from hunting for critters to wrestling. Lane is always trying Read more:Happy

| Playset Mania 2008-05-25 16:59:00 It's done! The playset is finally up and is being used by all. It was a two day project for Duane and Mikey. I helped a wee bit, but most of the playset was conquered by the men.The first day was the longest day. I think they started at about noon and didn't stop till 8:30 last night. Duane had to be at work by 10pm. If it hadn't been for that I would have kept them going. I was a slave driver to Read more:Mania
| On Our Memorial Day 2008-05-27 07:28:00 We had a fantastic Memorial
weekend. The big playset was finished, Mikey and Duane got to enjoy some Guitar Hero, the kids enjoyed the pool, and Morgan got a new toy from her Dad.The playset is a huge success. Morgan and her friends have even been enjoying it. They have been hiding out in the club house part with their phones chatting and texting their friends. I wish I had gotten a photo of them

| What Are Little Boys Made Of? 2008-05-28 10:05:00 Snips and snails, and puppy dog tailsThat's what little boys are made of!George walked into our house with this slithering critter yesterday. It is an Eastern Worm Snake. This type of snake is found in gardens, flowerbeds, and other moist areas. They like to eat earthworms. When I told George it was an "EASTERN Worm Snake" he decided to name it "EASTER"!!!!! After finding out what this cutie was,
| Missing: Leo The Leopard Gecko 2008-05-29 10:27:00 The other day some of the neighbor kids came over to hang out with George. Michael was home from school, and the girl from up the road asked if she could see his "critters". Michael loves showing off his babies; therefore he took the neighbor girl up to show her his "critter collection".George, the girl, and her brother hung out in Michael's room for a bit just watching the frogs, Bruce, and Leo t Read more:Missing

J Our June FACE LIFT 2008-06-02 10:48:00 The above photo was taken by Michael a few nights ago. We get tons of Tree Frogs around here, and the boys go crazy for them. I found this photo, and couldn't help but laugh. I thought you all might get a kick out of it as well. We had a lot going on this weekend. I am still editing photos from Michael's birthday bash. Hopefully I will have a new post and pics by the end of today. I have been so b
J Edgehill Posse Birthday Bash 2008-06-04 08:02:00 I just finished all the birthday party photos. Edgehill is the neighborhood we live in, and all but one of the boys in the photo above lives in Edgehill too. Just a little insight to the title of this post and the above edited photo. Anyway, I was laughing so hard at some of the lazer tag photos that I had tears in my eyes. It wasn't the kids that had me laughing it was Mikey and Duane. It was hil Read more:Posse

J The Dance 2008-06-09 06:45:00 The girls had a great time Saturday. They woke up early on that morning and went to Bush Gardens for some fun in the sun till late afternoon. Then it was showers and primpin' time. I ended up with 2 extra girls at my house for the preparations. That of course means I did hair 3 times, make-up 3 times, and finally fixes 3 times! I was busy, and I totally enjoyed it.The girls looked lovely. I think Read more:Dance
J 5th Grade Graduation 2008-06-10 09:59:00 What a mile stone this is for Michael, and for me and Mikey as well. During these Elementary years we have had some ups and downs, and thankfully there were more UPS than downs. Mikey and I have watched our son struggle, absorb, and grow academically. But it wasn't just the academics were we saw change. We saw it with social skills, maturing, and behavior. Michael not only became an excellent stud Read more:Grade
J Before The Cut 2008-06-11 11:30:00 The other morning I was able to get a few shots of Michael before he headed off to school. This was the day I felt like it was time for Michael to get his hair cut so it would be out of his eyes. I, of course,didn't mean for it to get as short as it did because I have always loved Michael with long hair. Mikey, on the other hand, was happy the lady who cut his hair messed it up because he likes it
J SCHOOL'S OUT 2008-06-12 08:49:00 Come this afternoon SCHOOL IS OUT! Today is their last day at school, last day of waking up at 6am to get ready for the bus, last day to study for a test, last day to eat cafeteria food, and last day to worry about grades. At least for the next few months anyway. We have so much planned this summer, and hopefully we can fit it all in. We are for sure going to Texas at the end of this month, and we
J An Evil Side 2008-06-13 07:30:00 Morgan and her best friend Micaela were at the house the other night messing around with some HOT PINK duck tape. Morgan was suppose to be cleaning her room, but as you can see she managed to find something else to do. This is what always seems to happen with her. She must of found the white foam thingy while cleaning and began getting distracted by all the humor of making horns! And if you are wo
J Weekend Fun 2008-06-16 12:26:00 A great weekend was had by all, or so I think! It was a busy weekend, but an enjoyable one. On Saturday we spent the day with my dad and step-mom. Mikey and I took the kids up to where they are and went swimming, putt-putting, and grilled out. On Sunday I took Gabby for a hair appointment, then I went to my own hair appointment, did some small errands, made BBQ for dinner, and went to a LATE night Read more:Weekend
In Dial-Up Hell 2008-07-02 13:34:00 We are still in East Texas with my in-laws. In fact right now I am sitting at my sister-in-laws using her High Speed Internet! I think she is the only person in East Texas that has gone civilized! Just Kidding..........sorta.My July blog is up and going now. THANK YOU AMANDA because if it wasn't for your computer I wouldn't have been able to accompish this one small task till next week.We have bee
Lone Star State............. 2008-06-30 16:36:00 Here we are!!!!! The drive was about 20 hours long, and we did it in two days. I usually try and make it all in one, but my dear mother hates when I do that. She had asked us to please stop half way, and for her we did. I must admit I think it was better to stop than to drive 20 hours straight. We are right now in East Texas at my in-laws. My MIL made me my favorite dish last night: Chicken-N-Dres Read more:State
J Summer Pool Fun 2008-06-27 08:15:00 George loves the pool. We haven't really been able to enjoy it lately, but when we do George is in heaven.George can swim without floaties, but since he can't "touch" the bottom yet, I feel better with him wearing his safety devices!Trust me, those floaties don't slow him down one tiny bit. He loves jumping in the pool, and then climbing out, and then jumping in, then climbing out, then jumping in Read more:Summer
J Our Eastern Bluebird Babies 2008-06-26 08:05:00 In late spring we adorned our large backyard with TWO bluebird houses in hopes of getting some bluebirds. The first two nests were that of Sparrows. I didn't mind the Sparrows building their nests in our bluebird houses, but I was disappointed. Then late spring we started seeing the above fellow hanging around our backyard checking things out! He started dropping some twigs into the box, and soon Read more:Eastern

J Beautiful Monticello 2008-06-25 09:00:00 Monticello is the home of President Thomas Jefferson, and it is amazing. Mikey and I had taken my dad and step-mom to see Monticello on Sunday. I had already been once, but Mikey had not. For the past few years Mikey had been mentioning he wanted to see Jefferson's home, and when my parents came in town and mentioned it he was excited.I took tons of photos while I was there. The reason for the lat Read more:Beautiful
J Historic Jamestown 2008-06-24 17:12:00 Historic Jamestown
is one of my favorite places. I just love going to this old church, looking at the reminisces of old homes, and feeling the history of our Nation.Jamestown was the first American Settlement. This is where you can find some of the oldest burials. My Dad had said the oldest grave he was privileged to see was in the 1700's, but while at Jamestown he was witness to many graves dated
J Colonial Williamsburg Trip 2008-06-21 09:01:00 While my dad and step-mom have been in town I have been tagging along with them to see some history. On Tuesday Mikey took a day off from school so that we could join my parents in tour of Colonial Williamsburg. It is the neatest place to see. They have tons of things to see, do and learn!During the morning at Colonial Williamsburg we got to enjoy seeing some reenactments that gave some insight in
J Tooth Fairy Came To Visit 2008-06-20 09:13:00 George has hit another milestone, and with every milestone he hits my heart breaks! Don't get me wrong, I am excited to see George grow and experience all these wonderful "firsts". In fact there is nothing more joyous for me than to watch my child take their first step, say their first word, go to school for the first time, or to witness their very first Tooth
Fairy visit. But, you see this is all

♕ Meme & Papa 2008-08-01 08:39:00 For my final East Texas entry I felt it only fitting to showcase my MIL and FIL. It all began over 36 years ago when these two met and fell in love. Of course these two didn't waste any time having their first child. My man Mikey:And then they decided it was time for another child. Kevin:Then there was a number three, and the last one Jason..............or so they thought. Till Papa said he wanted
« A Few Photo Faves 2008-07-31 10:58:00 I'm coming to a close on my our Lake Tawakoni fun. I wish I could have posted every single photo taken and edited while there, but that isn't possible. I do have some I want to share because either they are beautiful photos or the persons in them is completely loved by us. I have to say that going through my photos of East Texas makes me wish Mikey was retired and we lived back were all of our fam Read more:Photo
¬ The Oldest & The Youngest 2008-07-30 07:59:00 Morgan loves her new baby cousin LJ. She would walk around holding him, taking him away from other people, and fed him every chance she got. I think she even tried to stick him in the van when we were leaving, or was that me. Anyway, Morgan fell in love with LJ, and I think he has a soft spot now for her too.LJ is a little fussy still, but what a cutie he is. He looks a lot like how I remember his
