I have not lived in Austin, Texas for almost 20 years. I laugh a little as I type that because well, it seems like such a long time. When I visit here I come to my parents’ house, the same one where I grew up, for all of my childhood. I’ve watched it change over…
4th Fun
We had a good 4th. Tim actually had the entire day off of work. I heard and saw a few complaints about the holiday falling in the middle of the week but for me, I thought it was awesome. It was SO nice to have Tim home and for us to all be together on…
A day early and a couple of milkshakes short…
Monday morning I woke up much earlier than usual to go to the gym before the kids were up and before Tim had to leave for work. This is not something I do often but with the kids all out of school I figured it’s a good plan some days. As usual, K was in…
Things were going along fine…
I thought you all might like to hear K’s voice and so I asked her a few questions about our Summer so far. She likes to talk a lot so I figured a little interview would be good. And it was…until the end. Well, you can see for yourself. She IS cute. Even when she…
So, what else did we do?
There was some fishing for the dads and oldest boys, although the waters proved to be a little too rough for everyone’s tummy, except for Tim’s. Ugh. There was some shopping for the ladies (sans kiddos). There was some sightseeing and hanging out as a fam. There were some rides on wave runners and fish…
At the water
On Sunday the water on the Emerald Coast was just as it should be, colored in the beautiful blues and greens that it is notorious for. I could have lounged in my beach chair for the entire day but some dogone kids wanted lunch and needed to rest, blah, blah, blah. It was nothing short…
Four Little Men & A Little Lady
This photo makes an enourmous smile come to my face. We are having a blast on vacation. I hope you all are having a wonderful week too.
If at first you don’t succeed…
We were outside the other day, blowing bubbles and making chalk drawings (see previous post) and I had the idea to try to do one of THOSE pics. You know like the ones where someone draws a scene with the chalk and then puts a kid in it? Yeah, that. And I just want to…
Lego Bounce Party & MEM
We officially celebrated Little G’s birthday this weekend at the local bouncy place. He wanted a Lego party so I obliged. As per last week’s post on less stress, I kept things pretty simple and we had a good amount of kids. I did make the cupcakes from scratch and I decorated the treat bags…
I Would Have TOTALLY dated Jake Ryan…
In high school I was ALL about the rollers for dances. And by “rollers” I mean hair rollers. I loved to have my hair CUR. LEE. And during my senior year there was some drama as to who I wound up accompanying me to my Senior Homecoming dance. I won’t get into all the details…
