Blink....

You know the old saying blink and you'll miss it... well I THINK I can see how easy that happens. My little sassy P is no longer a baby nor a toddler. She is a very outspoken 3 year old who most definately beats to her own drum. And where to start on my 5 year old... really 5 years flew by and we are knocking on the door to kinder. I will say he is my little nuturer cares for everyone, worries, thinks ahead and plans and can remember and keep a schedule in his head for days!!! I always say when cann is around I dont need a schedule because I tell it to him one time and he remembers it PERFECTLY. Prime example this weekend we pull into Austin (he wants to get school shoes ) I say ok lets make 2 stops then lunch then we will get shoes... at each store he gentle reminds us one one more then lunch.... trust me he can keep you in LINE.

So like I mentioned we got school shoes this weekend well I ALWAYS let Callen choose... of course I quickly noticed him mgoing back and forth. Little did I realize his brain was hard at work. He really wanted the tie shoes but he was worried he wouldnt be able to tie them and was insistant he would only get them for school if he could tie them.... at the end of the decision process he got the tie shoes and from Saturday on he has been tying and un tying and practicing and learning 2 different ways to tie.... He almost has it 100% and I couldnt be more proud because he sets a plan puts it into action and accomplished it. Of course durning the process Paisley quickly reminds us she will never need to know how to tie shoes because she will always wear TOMS.... ahhh that girl happy go lucky. Between you readers and myself I have noticed that she is starting to tell me she is going to BIG school I think reality of not having her Callen is setting in because lets face it these two are the best of buds... I assured her she will be just fine and that she too will be the BIG kid and will see Callen everyday after school.

Let me tell you these moments are precious to me and I can see how fast they slip away trust me when I say I dont want to miss a THING!!!!

7 on 7 FOOTBALL

We had the pleasure of going to watch my little brother play 7 on 7... it was GREAT. Of course I quickly learned that Callen was a bit bummed that Uncle Blaine didnt play with him the ENTIRE time ;)

 

Pretty cute kid if I must say so myself.... thanks for inviting us we had a GREAT time. Not to mention WOWZER College Station has changed!!! (shhh hope to see Uncle Blaine going there soon)

Loving the Dirt

and loving the special time with her daddy!!!! This girl couldnt be happier. That evening when she got home from her day with daddy she was covered head to toe in farm grease, when I asked what had happened her brother quickly let me know that she played with a stick in the grease and daddy didnt notice till she brought him some to play in. I LOVE that my sweet little girl knows how to get down and dirty with her daddy!!!

Corn Dog Celebration

To celebrate Pappy leaving for Africa we decided to have corn dogs.... and Mmmm Mmm my kids loved them. Pappy we hope you are having and incredible journey!

Sitting on the dock of the bay...

My little wanted to go fishing a few weeks back so daddy and I went to the boat ramp...

The catch of the night was when I caught a limb and had to break the line but no worries we are planning a real fisshing trip soon because there are 2 littles that really enjoyed sitting ont he dock of the bay

Rain, Rain...

Please go away...

While we needed you and we have wanted you. I think the over 9 inches has more then helped. I dont choose to complain but we have ears of corn now under water, cotton that is open that is under water and plenty of rain.

I hate seeing Chris's hard work and enthusiam fading--

Trust me we need it and we know that the Man upstairs had plans for us but at the same time if only for a little while please give the crops a repreve for the day so they can soak in to goodness that you are giving.

We will put this in your hands and in return please ease our worries about the crops, the families and the farmers who have so much heart and soul poured into what they do!

Happy Harvest and Happy 4th of July!

We want to wish you....

You and your families a Happy Harvest!!!

There is something about this time of year it is hard to explain but it is so fufilling to see my husbands work come full circle.

Sending Love, Hugs and Kisses across the miles of Texas

My little cheerleader

While we are busy playing baseball we do have one very CUTE cheerleader!!!

This girl is super proud of her brother and loves being his #1 supporter!!

Swing batter batter

My little superstar baseball player sure played a incredible game.... I played pitcher and he was a very stronger batter mommy was proud to watch him swing that last inning! I think he is really enjoying baseball

Special Time...

With my special girl...

It was so hard for Paisley to say good bye to her brother for the weekend because these 2 tend to be inseperable and love eachother so much. However the time came for Callen to go and enjoy himself.

And ohhh how the tears flooded. Paisley cried and sobbed for almost and hour and a half. It was the sweetest words... "I love my Callen, I want him to live with me!!"

Of course it was hard on her but it gave her some time to spend special for just her because lets face it when your the second child that one on one time isnt always there. Dont get me wrong I LOVE my girl but she is pretty accompanied to having to share and it being equal with her Callen.

So you ask what did we do... well we went to a birthday party, we went swimming (well Paisley did), we went to Aunt Glenda and Uncle Tooters farm to meet baby Claire, we snuggled, we painted toes, we baked cookies and we had a fabulous time.



Counsin Fun Day

2 weekends ago we had a cousin fun day. This was special because we hadnt seen Kayden in a while as he has been with his dad and lets face it we miss him! Plus Callen got to spend the entire weekend with him which is a BIG 1st in our house.

I think everyone had a great time although Aunt Kim and Uncle David never said either way if they were good and they would do it again hahahahahhaha. I am hoping Callen was behaved

Sunday we had a family lunch and it was so much F-U-N. The kids played in the backyard, upstairs, and then before it was time to go they had sprinklers and slip and slides out. Lets just say it was kiddie paradise

I think the pictures say they were quite excited to all be spending the day with each other. Thanks Aunt Kim and Uncle David for hosting!!
