Day 2

Out and about early....donuts for breakfast and a few errands.
Then fun-filled swim lessons.
A nap for everyone except a little 4 year old whose mind just can't slow down.
Movie time ( Toy Story 2!)  complete with popcorn and M&Ms.
A little football tossing in the yard for Bubba-- it wasn't too hot for once.

Momma got some alone time too with a run in the morning and then Pampered Chef party at Aunt Angie's, where she was able to get some new stoneware plus new utensils for Daddy to use for making his "Big Country breakfasts."

Day 1 of Summer

Laundry, dishes and more laundry
Successful and fun swim lessons
Nap for everyone
TV and computer time
"Water chalk" time on the patio
Making brownies
Seeing rabbits, cranes, turtles and other animal friends outside
 A time-out for everyone early in the day, then no more the rest of the day!
4..5..6? Band Aids given out
4 books read out loud
9 outfit changes ( 8 just btwn Jerzy and Shelby) -- which of course will contribute to more laundry in the coming days....

I am blessed. Here's to a great 2nd day of summer!!

Snow Day!

As everyone knows by now, we got several inches of snow this week. It was beautiful and exciting. The kids loved it! We hurried home Thursday after school to play outside and then played outside a few more times on Friday and today. We were lucky to have some hand-me-down ski bibs that kept everyone dry & warm.

3 Years Ago

Our 3rd little angel arrived 3 years ago today. He completed our family. Here are some thenand now pics. It's amazing to see how they all have grown and changed.

Time Flies

I wish I could blog regularly like some people. Maybe someday.Time just gets away from me.

I just put a precious 2-year old boy to bed for the last time. Tomorrow he's 3!( But still precious!) I can't believe it.

We had a great afternoon celebrating with friends and family. Knox thoroughly enjoyed his day. Thank you to everyone who helped make it special ( including the firemen of McKinney Station #3!). Tomorrow we will enjoy a relaxing day together as a family. Maybe during that relaxation time I will post pics.

Second Cousins

Today, Shelby and I met sweet Anna Eloise James for the first time. Her proud parents are my cousin Jason and his wife Kassidy. Anna is only 3 days old- she was born December 31st!

What do you want for Christmas?

Shelby:"Barbie and a bike"

Jerzy:"Barbies."

Knox: "Cars." ( and then tears when he realizes Santa doesn't give you what you ask for right then and there)
