Saturday Night

On Saturday night we went on a double date with our friends Rick & Desi. We had SOOO much FUN! We hadn't been on a double in years, and it was great! We went to a new restaurant called Turquoise and had Turkish food. Surprisingly I liked it! I was a little scared, I don't try new things very often. But it was great, if you are looking for something fun to try, I recommend it! Then we went to Dave & Busters and played games, air hockey was intese :) and did the photo booth. Then we hit up HEB for brownie sundae supplies. We took the babysitter home and had ice cream, tons of FUN!

Water FUN in preschool

All this year I've been trading off with another mom every other week doing preschool lessons for Jimmy & Max. Last week since it was HOT I decided to do a lesson on water. So after we talked about water and all the things it is used for, and did our letter worksheets we headed out back for some water fun! We did a water balloon toss, water balloon baseball, and a slip & slide. The kids seemed to have lots of fun!

Also I decided to try out the video feature on my new camera, and it works great. On the other hand, I'm kinda not too bright and did a tall ways one thinking I could flip it like a picture. Well I can't figure any way to flip it. SO now I have a sideways video. Oh well, here it is.

to file or to unfile...that is the question

Timmy picked to unfile...
this is what happened in the 5 minutes I was combing Addy's hair.

Fun with Cousins

A few posts back I mentioned spending time with cousins...I've now got the pictures!

PICTURES!

OK so a few weeks ago I got a new camera, and I just now got around to loading the software to download them...so I'm backlogged with pictures. Be prepared, the slideshows are coming! HAHA! It's funny, my old digital camera (which I took to fiesta texas hence those pics are up) only held 20 pics at a time because of it's small card, so I was downloading all the time. My new camera holds like 200, so I hadn't been in a hurry to download. So now let the show begin! Here are the kids a few Sundays ago. Addy got a new dress (90% off at Kohls only $4.90!!! + I had a $5 off coupon!!!).

Oh and here is Dave at the hospital right before they knocked him out! I was nice and didn't take an after picture in the recovery room :)

Company Family Picnic

On Saturday Dave's company had their family picnic at Fiesta Texas. We had LOTS of FUN! It made for a long day, but I think it was worth it. Around 6:30 we thought we should start heading home. But then as we started our journey across the park to the gates, we kept stopping and trying another ride. This continued on and on until 9pm when the announcement came on saying the park was closing. It was great though because the later it got the shorter the lines got, and the braver Jimmy got. It was funny, he even went on the Gully Washer twice! Hey Heather remember last summer how much he CRIED while we waited in line for that one. So he was running to get on, and he said I love this ride we went on it with Madalyn & Ethan. So then Addy kicks in..."Where's Ethan? I want to ride with Ethan!" The Gully washer was the end of the night for us. So we got to the car about 9:30, then it took over half an hour to get out of the parking lot. We grabbed some dinner and got everyone to bed about 11. So yea, a very long but FUN day!

Happy Mother's Day

Today has been a fun Mother's day. The kids got up with the other children at church today to sing a cute Mother's day song, Mother I Love You. Click here if you want to hear it:

So anyways, about 1 line into Addy announces in a voice way above all the others singing, "MOM, I remember the words!!!" I laughed so hard that I cried! That's my girl! Then when the song was over and all the kids were returning to their seats she waved with a big smile and said, "MOM, I did it, I sang to you." Classic moment.

I also received 2 very special presents:

These two willow tree figurines to represent my wonderful children.

I have this couple figurine that we got as a wedding present:

So now I need to find a location to display them all together. I love Willow Tree stuff, it's so simple, yet so meaningful. And with that I wish you all a Happy Mother's Day.
