Fun times…

Yesterday we had a BLAST as a family going to the Austin Rodeo. We are headed there again tonight too to enjoy more of the carnival rides…after a quick stop by Walgreens to get me some motion sickness meds. I tell ya, I can tell I am getting older bc I CANNOT handle those rides anymore at all! Its sad bc I am NOT old at all. Ha!

Last night though we had fun and let Emma ride the kiddie coasters. I rode with her bc Justin is not feeling very well :( I really thought Emma would be timid and a little scared and want off. BUT it was the complete opposite! She screamed and laughed so loud, it was the cutest thing. She was sad when the ride would come to a stop bc she wanted to ride AGAIN!

Don’t even get me started on the unreal prices these carnivals charge for this stuff! Its crazy.

Here are a few pictures of our CRAAZZZY roller coaster ride!

Next we went to enjoy the rodeo and see the “horsies house” as Emma said :) Oh and to enjoy the concert! Another first for Emma Claire. We saw Lady Antebellum, which is alll of our favorite! Our favorite song is “Run to You” Emma even knows the words…so cute!

     Now tonight we are headed back to have MORE fun minus Justin and Emma :( But we will still have fun. Boys Like Girls is the band tonight…I’m not really interested, but my 10 yr old is…. They do have one song that they sing with Taylor Swift “Two is Better than One” I doubt they will sing that one though, but maybe. 

Terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day!

So, I can’t help but chuckle about today's events. It started off okay, nothing special and no major events. I woke up, took my mother (who is visiting this week) to my Uncle’s house for the day and then went to Discount Tire to get my tires rotated & balanced. Such an exciting, adventurous life I lead…yes I know this :)

When leaving to head home I phoned Justin to see if he needed anything. Nope he said, but Emma has a bump/scratch on her forehead and a black eye(from running into a 2x4 on the table outside)*Justin was building shelves today in the storage building*…oh and Hadlee just broke out in a rash so I gave her Benedryl and am giving her a warm bath. My poor babies :(

While at Discount Tire I downed a bottle of water and needed to potty badddd! TMI probably and I am sorry ;) So…I run inside in a hurry after unloading the car and putting my keys halfway in my back pocket. Get to the restroom to see that someone (probably my 2 yr old) had gone before me and didn’t flush so I flushed for her….turned around quickly and KERPLUNK! My stinkin’ keys fell in the toilet as it was flushing and they are GONE! Who in the world does this happen to??? I have never in my life done such a thing! And yes, I had to share. We have laughed and laughed and I have been the brunt of all jokes this evening :(

Not to mention after dinner…Justin says “We forgot about Hadlee’s skills meet this morning!” What!?!?

I can gladly tell you that we never have days like this very often at all!!

Can we get a re-do for today please! Ha.

God blessed me…

When he gave me my partner for life, my best friend…the best husband a women could ask for. Seriously! Not only is he the best husband but he is also the greatest Dad a girl could ask for! We love him! HAPPY 32nd BIRTHDAY!!!

 

Spring is in the air!

 

Yay! For beautiful family days in the outdoors. I love it! Our family is such a blessing. And I am so thankful with what God has given us :) Thank you!

These pics are just here near the house at a small river. But in the summer we are headed to the Llano for a week and we are literally counting down the days. We love the outdoors,kayaking,camping out, hiking, etc. Its the best. And isn’t this weather just so perfect right now!?!?

In the words of Alvin & the Chipmunks…

“Shake what your Momma gave ya!”

  I know I have slacked big time on the blogging but I promise to do better. Here are a few pictures from the Valentine’s dance at the girls school. They had so much fun with their friends and are NOT shy by any means! They had no problem getting out on the dance floor and having a blast! Love it! These are the kind of fun memories I will always remember. So much fun being a girl!

Also, hop on over to Heather's blog and check out the giveaway she is having. I love giveaways!

IT’S SNOWING!!!!

Yes it has snowed in Round Rock nearly ALLLL day long! The girls did have school though but have a late start in the morning because its suppose to ice tonight. Needless to say we had fun! Gilliland Snowman may not be the prettiest snowman but he is still cute, even with a crooked eye. Ha!

Girly girls!!!

and we wouldn’t have it any other way either :) they are the best and such a blessing! yes we have our moments, but who doesn’t and I have to remind myself that I will be hoping for untidy rooms and the arguing one day when its gone because they are all grown up.
