Hello Texas

After Christmas I was able to go visit my brother who lives in Texas. It's been forever since I've seen him and it was so refreshing to spend some time with him. Man I love him! He is such a good guy! It was so nice to meet my sister-in-law and my three month old niece. I'm so glad my brother has these two beautiful girls in his life.

Don't tell my husband.... but I've been secretly praying that we some day move to Texas so I can be closer to my brother.

Fall Favorites

Football Season

My oldest is really into football this season. I found some cheap tickets for him and my husband on the classifieds. So cheap... and as you can see it was the furthest row back. But he didn't care, he was just glad to be at the game! That's my boy!

After all these Friday night games of course, the boys want to practice their tackling skills.... My younger son decided to make a "helmet" out of a milk jug. It kept falling off ... just like the BYU player's helmets XD

Boy Meets Girl

My 8yr. old daughter made a series of drawings about a boy who sees a girl from afar working on her laptop. He is smitten by her and moves in closer. The girl is annoyed and obviously not interested.

Show and Tell

My oldest got to show off his new pet today at school. It made his day! Oh ya... and he named his corn snake Burrow, because he likes to burrow of course.

Pet Snake!

My oldest has been saving all his money to buy a pet corn snake. He was so excited the day we set out to purchase his long anticipated pet. The entire morning he sat outside playing with a toy snake to pass the time faster.

$25 handed over and the snake was his!!!

We had the terrarium waiting in the truck of our car for the 45 min. drive home. C* was bubbling over with excitement! I'm proud of him! All his hard work has paid off. Great job buddy!

Friends, Family and Fun!

We've been camping, been to the park and also to the beach! (Well a pretend beach that is...)
