I got this great idea from Greta at G*funk*ified and I thought I would put some of my numbers our there too and link up! Thanks Greta! 🙂 5 – the number of dogs we had over the years while I was growing up 1 – the number of dogs that were “mine” and that…
God Bless Digital Cameras…
After hanging out at my friend’s house for her kiddos’ birthday party last week I asked her if we could use her pretty backyard to get some our our own family photos.And then we quickly agreed on a dual family photo shoot! Sometimes it’s hard to figure out how to get your own photo taken…
Halloween Fun!
We live in an interesting, sort of hidden little neighborhood that is a mix of young families and older folks who have lived here a while. It consists of only 4 (albeit quite long) streets that are connected before you have to go out on the VERY busy main road that runs perpendicular to the…
Fair Fun
So, after we witnessed the demise of Big Tex we went on our merry way through the Texas state fair.Our day included a jumping dog show, a few rides including Katie’s first ride on the Texas Star (huge ferris wheel), the petting farm, chicken fried bacon (oh. my.), corny dogs, cotton candy and lots of walking…
“I Don’t Have Time For This!”
The other night right before bedtime Katie and Gavin had a little, how shall we say… squabble. They both wanted the same “magazine” (a.k.a. one of those cheap TOY catalogs that start coming in the mail around this time of the year) and K hit G over the head with a pillow (a pillow people!!…
Fall-ISH Fun
We made it to the “pumpkin patch” today, even though the temperature was a steamy 90 degrees while we were there. I kinda hate that it is so unseasonable but you know, when the forecast shows similar temps for a while, and you want some cute pumpkins to put outside the front of your house, and festive…
Queen of the Castle
I couldn’t resist the cool, clear morning so we got dressed and ventured over to the playground… K had it all to herself so I called her “Queen of the Castle”… A role she is all too happy to fulfill! p.s. This is the extended backyard of our next-door neighbors (who have many grandkids!) and…
Life is a Highway (or a suburban street, whatever)
We are in that in between spot of the year, before the time changes again and it’s still light out at 6:30. The kids have energy to burn after dinner so they pull out pretty much every toy that has wheels from the garage and into our long driveway. I sit on the bench nearby…
Party Time!
Kids + a gym = loads of fun, right? So we hit The Little Gym for K’s birthday celebration. And I *think* the kids had fun. We’ll let the pics tell the tale…
The Ladybug Dress
I found this dress at Goodwill on one of my trips to Austin last year at the same time that I bought this one. My parents have an AWESOME Goodwill near their house. I just thought it was so cute with the rick-rack and the ladybugs and little daisies. Plus? It was $3.99. So yeah,…
