And the hits keep coming
We lost our Father/Father-in-law yesterday. Pawpaw (as the boys called him), had a long hard battle with cancer, diabetes, dialysis, infections and finally heart failure. Though, as I type all those horrible diseases I still can’t believe he is gone. He was a fighter, his body was failing him, but he did want to believe […]
Emergency Room, Roses and Jilly Boo
Life is anything but boring around here that is for sure. Friday night while enjoying a evening at home, the boys were jumping on the furniture (the whole house doubles as a playground) when I heard that all too familiar head knock followed with a cry. I ran in to see Little H with a […]
Despicable Me 4th Birthday
Today is my babies’ actual 4th birthday. 4 years ago I was doing this. But, last weekend we had a fun party at our local Museum. We decided to do a Despicable Me themed party since the boys love the movie so very much. I also found this website that has the absolute best tutorials […]
Halloween Fun
I am a little late posting these, but I couldn’t not tell you all about my little Halloween Minions. If you haven’t seen Despicable Me, run out and rent it, buy it, whatever. It is an incredibly cute movie! Our favorite characters in the movie are Dr. Gru’s Minions. There are tons of them, they are […]
Pumpkin Patch
The pumpkins were out at our local pumpkin patch festival. Riding an antique John Deere tractor is the first stop we made. Posing for pictures wasn’t really the boys top priority. Not that you can tell or anything. We even got a couple of good family shots. The lighting wasn’t the best. I love how they […]
A few updates
This post is just some random thoughts and pictures from the past few weeks. DT was in a friend’s wedding, another trucker friend. Check out his cute groom’s cake!! It was mint chocolate, awesome-ness. It was also at a neat old dance hall, with no A/C, but they did have this BIG ASS FAN, can you […]
First day of cutting rice
It’s that time of year again. I can feel the excitement in the air, it’s the first day of cutting rice. Dad is in the combine and my brother Robert is driving the auger cart. The boys are about to jump out of the window they are so excited to ride. Dad picks up the boys […]
Annual Bay weekend
Last weekend was our annual Bay weekend trip. Oh, can I tell you how good it felt to get away. A weekend full of family, eating tons, good drinks and relaxing. I could seriously get used to that. I didn’t take as many pictures as I usually do. We were so busy having fun and relaxing. Enjoying […]
A Weekend at Home
The Memorial Day holiday has me all confused, so I missed Menu Plan Monday, and my usual recipe on Tuesdays. We spent the weekend at home, oh was it a glorious weekend. Lots of playing outside, enjoying the hot weather, playing with the boys and cooking from the garden. The boys loved playing on the slip […]
Gator Park
As I like to call it, or Brazos Bend State Park. A really fun place to visit on a cool Tuesday morning. Mom and I have been to this park several times, never to see an Alligator except at the visitor’s center, but none in the wild. So my goal was to see at least […]
