Snips and Snails and Puppydog Tails

Last weekend, Mommy got some way-cool-awesome non-kiddo time. My bff Tori was in town for the weekend, and she and her dad were nice enough to offer me an extra ticket to the TCU-OU game. Bryan said, “Go, have fun.” and I did! Now, y’all know the significance of a WHOLE football game (plus tailgating!) […]

Yes, I know it’s now December, but I was just going through some photos on my phone and found  some great ones from Turkey Day. First, Sam’s Turkey artwork from school: Next, we watched the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special together just before Thanksgiving: On Turkey Day, we started out with a little light reading: Then, […]

Caleb, you are a fine young man: smart, funny, handsome, loving, and a fantastic big AND little brother. I am so proud of you in all you do and can’t wait to see the wonderful man you will become. (Just don’t grow up too fast, ‘mkay?) I love you to bits! (I know, I know…I’m […]

That will be mostly adorable pictures, I promise. That way, you will have to forgive its tardiness. Lest you think I’ve forgotten big brothers…(and, for the record, they are now of an age where it’s MUCH more fun – and way less lame, I’m sure – to go trick-or-treating with friends than with Dad and […]

Guess who learned how to do the “Fancy S?” I received a full-on tutorial Wednesday night while Daddy and Bubba were at practice. 🙂 You know you remember how cool you felt when you first learned to do these. Heck, I feel cool that I still remember how to do them!

What a treat we had in September (hush, I know I’m late)! We got to visit with Grandma and Grandpa TWICE IN ONE MONTH! First, Daddy, Sam, and I went to Houston for Grandma’s 60th birthday celebration. (Bubba and Bear were with their Mom that weekend, and both had sporting events, so, sadly, they didn’t […]

No, I’m not talking about the kind I had back in my high school and college dance team days. I’m talking about work flexibility. Since I started with my company over a decade ago (yes, really), we’ve had a pretty flexible work schedule. The general understanding is that an employee works out a schedule with […]

Yes, folks, we’ve hit another sports milestone! Caleb starts kid-pitch baseball this (fall) season, and he’s doing great! The Keller 9U Chargers started their fall season last night with a bummer of a loss. BUT, the kids had fun, played well, and my Bear got to come in as a relief pitcher! Daddy said** he […]

It’s finally here! We’ve had the bike for not quite 24 hours, and I think he’s only been off it long enough to sleep. First, the stills: Favorite quotes: “I park my bike in the office.” “We don’t eat bikes. We ride bikes.” (this morning) “We go to Grandma and Grandpa’s house.” “The big truck […]

Last weekend (the weekend BEFORE Labor Day), we were invited to a birthday bash for my brother-in-law Steve’s 50th birthday. It was at a fancy Brazilian steakhouse in Addison. Tracy and Steven (not the same person as the birthday boy Steve, just in case you were confused) and Eli and Eliana came up for the […]
