So long...

My grandmother left us today at 11:10 am. We are so sad to see her go but we are relieved to see her pain end. She found out about her cancer just 7 weeks ago. The Lord took her from us fast but he did allow us to say our goodbyes. We pray now for comfort for my grandfather who stood by her side for 59 years. We will head to Oklahoma in the next day or two to be with family.

Full of Life and Love

Our Crazy Kids...We are so blessed to have such wonderful, vibrant children.





My handsome little man...Bubby

My sweet baby girl...Buggers



Roller-baby...isn't she the cutest?!?!

Mid-day story time in bed...my kind of day!!

This is how we Skateboard!!!



This is what happens when you get caught talking to a neighbor and your child runs wild upstairs unsupervised.

Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

I was pleasantly surprise today by my neighbors. My neighbor on the right brought over 2 bags of clothes for Buggers. The majority of them are Gymboree and OshKosh. They are all 3T which is the next size for her. Then a little while later my neighbors on the left brought over some groceries from their church that had a power outage. That was so sweet of both neighbors. God presents himself is the most amazing ways. We are truly blessed.

Just in Case....

Hubs and I painted the front living room sunday. It is amazing what a $13 gallon bucket of paint will do for a room. The paint is the same color as the rest of the downstairs except the red dining room. I think it makes the room look bigger.

After

Our two little helpers. Surprisingly they didn't come help until it was cleaning time.

Happy Belated 200 posts!!!!

I just it pass me right up. My last post was number 200!!! Guess I wasn't paying attention as I was trying to get some new material on quickly before the blog mafia came after me AKA mom and sleeza. Not sure yet how I am going to celebrate this momentous occasion. I will sleep on it since it is 2:00 AM and I am still awake.

After we got back from the beach, I headed to Waco to see my parents and pick up the kids. We stayed for a few days. I hope to get to go back before the summer is up. Here are some pics of them playing with their cousin who was down from Illinois.



My crazy dad...he is such a character

Love this pic of my mom...her smile is so candid!!!!

And no I am not taking this off Mom!!

Be Happy Don't Worry

Me and the kids have been playing in the afternoons with the neighbors and their kids. They have enjoyed playing with their friends. We fill up 2 pools and they just splash around (and tattle tell on each other every 5 seconds). The other moms seem bothered by their kids coming up to them every 5 seconds. It doesn't really bother me. One told me the other day that I was such a laid back mom. That I don't worry about much. Truthfully I do worry I just don't let that emulate to my kids. I just let them play and be kids. If they are going to do something to hurt themselves I will prevent it but if they are just playing I let them just play. I don't worry about them getting pool water in their mouth or getting dirt on them or heaven forbid a mosquito bite them. For the love of God we live in southeast Texas where we have mammouth sized mosquitoes that have the appetite of an elephant. All that worry gets you no where. Just enjoy your kids and watch them have fun!!!!!

Ok finally some beach pics...
