My talented hubby!

My dear hubby made us a bed! I LOVE it! I love that it is unique and he made it!

Wordless Wednesday...

A warm weather day's activities!

We had a really warm day here in TX and we decided to play outside!

Riley painting! I love the way she was laying and painting, so cute!


Aydia painting! She cracks me up, she is always thinking so outside of the box. When I set the paper down, it was sort of windy, so I put a rock on it to hold it down, she painted the rock, and not the paper! Riley is the total opposite, didn't even notice the rock, just painted on the paper because that is just what you do!

Josh working on our bed...

Our doggie Tyson was hanging out with us too!

Not Me Monday...

This is hosted by Mckmama, go check her out!
This is actually my first Not Me Monday, but I love reading other people's and just decided to go ahead and do it too! So, here it goes!



This week, I did not eat a heath bar blizzard for dinner one night...not me!

I did not stay in bed one day until 9:30am while my kids were in the living room watching tv...no, not me, I would never use tv as a form of entertainment so I could get some more sleep.

I also did not take my kids into a store at noon, when it was supposed to be their nap time and it most definitely did not end up with my almost 2 year old throwing a fit for 10 minutes, no, that did not happen! And since it did not happen, I definitely did not walk to the front of the (small) store like I was leaving and allow her to throw herself on the floor rolling around and then walk down the aisles saying, "I cying, I cying, I cying..." for minutes, no, I wouldn't do that.

And lastly, I totally did not take pictures of my girls throwing a dual fit just so that I could later show them to them to prove a point of how silly they looked...no, I didn't do that :)

Our trip to the dollar movie...

I decided on Saturday while Josh was working, I would take the girls to a dollar movie! They both LOVE movies and thought they would have tons of fun! We actually ended up having to eat dinner there because our electricity went out an hour before we were going to leave for hte movie and didn't come back on in time for us to eat. I thought it would be pretty inexpensive food...I was wrong. We spent a TON of money on food, it was ridiculous...oh well! The girls did really well and enjoyed the movie! They had hard time sitting still and Aydia wanted to talk during the whole movie and actually threw her drink at one point and it clanked around for a minute or so and then rolled down to the front, but overall, I would say it was a success! I would do it again, and that is the true test!

We saw the Tale of Despereaux...super cute!


I told the girls we were going to a movie and they were excited! I tried to get a picture of them being excited...it wasn't working out. I told them to get together and hold their arms up and say, "movie" and Aydia threw a fit about it because she "didn't want to" and Riley did it sort of, but just looks sort of odd...oh well. this is what happens when you try to get a 2 year old AND a 3 year old to cooperate!


The girls at the movie theater. I could not get a good pic.

New Computer!

After 3 years of having this computer that we got from Josh's parents when they upgraded, we finally were able to buy a new one. The old one was something crazy like 9 years old and let me tell you, it. was. slow! And it drove me NUTS, so we were pretty stoked to be able to get another one with this year's tax return (and we paid off our car!)!
The old computer...it is pretty ghetto.

Yes, we had to rest it on this cigar box because it had a crack in it...

Ahhh, much better! Not to be materialistic, but we like our new computer!

LIfe...

One day, we were watching our friend Isek and I noticed that it got really quite. Now, normally this is not a good thing. I searched the house and this is what I found...

Playin in the dirt...

Playing guitar!

I cut Aydia some bangs! Isn't she cute!
