Family Fun at the Fun Center...

This week was Parkers birthday and we decided we would take him to the fun center in North Austin for a little go-cart, arcade, laser tag, and whatever else we could find to celebrate his big day. He turned ten this year which I cannot believe. Where has a decade gone! I couldn't believe it when Kenna turned ten but it is just crazy to have two kids in the double digits. And since he is almost taller than me it really makes me feel old :) Happy Birthday Parker We Love You!!!
We had alot of fun, Jana, Tate, and Kasen came with us and I know Parker was glad they were there. We sure are going to miss these guys when they go back home, but we are going to enjoy every last minute we have with them while they are still here!

Not so Happy Days

So it's always fun to post all the cheery, silly pics that we take to show everyone how much fun we are having and say how great life is and blah blah blah but there are those days that you don't always get those perfect pics and your kids aren't always happy and things just don't go quite as well as we think they should (I know this happens to everyone!) Well that def happened this week so I had to put some of these on here because sometimes I get the most laughs out of these kinds of pictures. First I had Parker mad at me because I decided I was going to cut his hair to save a dollar or two (man where is my sister when I need her) and I really was just going to shave it all off but decided to tell him I was cutting a mohawk and that it was cool to be the new kid with a mohawk. He was so mad at me and I could not stop laughing! So I finally caved and shaved it all off so he is a happy boy once again.
Then I just thought it would be so cute of me to take the kids to the library (again to save a buck or two) and let them check out some books to read the next couple weeks and that didn't go over quite so well either. Kenna thought she was way too cool to be there in the first place her words as we were walking in the door was, "I can't believe I am spending my summer in a LIBRARY" which I thought was funny because it was our first time there. She went straight over to the teen magazines and sat down while Parker and Chloe ran around looking for the perfect book. Parker had a specific one in mind and got frustrated with me because I didn't exactly know how to help him even though I tried! Lets just say I didn't spend my summers in a library at all and I am lucky that I can even find something alphabetically let alone in the science-fiction or fact section! (I know it's not that hard, but come on I spent my time with Ebbi and Tavi not in the library!) Man I don't know where that boy comes from...So he settled for another selection. I realized it was time to go and found Chloe with about ten different books in her hand and when I told her she could only pick one she almost had a melt down. She pulled it together and narrowed it down to two. She handed me one and held the other and I thought the one she wanted was the one she handed me so I went over to check out our books. As we got out the door Chloe realized I didn't get the right one and she sat down and folded her arms and said she was not leaving until she got that book! Now we all know when this happens it is a battle of the wills with me and Chloe, but I am learning to just laugh at her too. She is so stubborn! She sat right in front of the library doors while people stepped over her to get in and she was not going to budge! So I took the camera out and got some pics. I don't think she talked to me for a good hour but we are best buds once again and all is well. You can see her in the picture with Kenna and Parker sitting in the background at the table in the black pants. She didn't want anything to do with pictures but I don't think kenna and Parker were too happy about it either! Ahhh these are the days I just have to laugh. Sometimes these are the days I laugh the very hardest! What else can you do sometimes right?!?!

Killin Time

We were a little early picking Jerry up from work a couple of days ago and snapped a few pics with the camera. Well, us girls did, Parker was just in the backseat reading and was annoyed at all the noise we were making it was ruining his concentration. Luckily Jerry didn't take too long and before we knew it he was headed out the door and we all headed home...

Golf Date

We decided we needed to have a little couple time and one of our favorite things to do is go golfing. So here is just a few pics that we had to take of ourselves of course because no one was with us to do it. I get a little camera crazy and Jerry hates it so i have to give him props for atleast forcing a few smiles for me. I am not great at golf but I am improving and I can whack that ball pretty dang far! Well atleast I think so (for a girl!) So Cutler's beware cause next year I will reclaim that golf title because we will be there and we will be ready! We did have a couple visitors on our last few holes. We were driving along in our little cart and came up on a whitetail deer that was being stalked by a coyote. It was cool we drove our cart right up to them and the deer was caught between us and the coyote and it did not know where to turn. I got out and we snapped a couple of pics. You can see them behind me I was trying to be as sneaky as a mouse! They took off and the deer got away. The coyote must have been mad at us because it followed us for the rest of our game. It was fun you don't get to see that every day!

And My cute hubby got me the prettiest roses on friday out of the blue it was so nice of him. They are so pretty I had to take a pic of those too. Thanks Hubby I love you bunches

Shout out to the Birthday Girl Jana... We love you!!!

So as most of you know I am still trying to learn how to do this, but I told myself practice makes perfect so I thought I would put something on here because I have to learn these blogging skills! Thanks for the tips how to post more than one pic at a time, that is much better! Today is Jana's birthday and we want her to know how much we love her. She prob won't have the best birthday today because she is at her house sick, with a sick boy, and a sick husband. Now we all know that Jana will spend her whole day taking care of her husband and baby because that's what moms do even though moms get sick too. And especially Jana she is just one of those people that puts herself last even though it is her day. I feel bad because she made my birthday so fun when she took me to get my toes done and I cant do much for her today. She really is an amazing person, she is so beautiful inside and out and I want her to know how glad I am she is here in Texas with us. Having her around makes my days better, my kids days better, and I know her brother's days better because she is someone you just want to be around all the time.... And if I don't stop I will cry and you all know how much I hate that!!! So here's to you Jana, we hope you have the best birthday even though it is not under the best circumstances and we will def make up for it on Thurs. when we take our girls shopping trip. Woo Hoo I am so excited! These pics are just a few of many that her and Kenna have taken of themselves. It is so funny because any time the camera comes out you will find Kenna and Jana over in the corner pulling faces and giggling and the camera flashing and then you will here Jana singing her heart out teaching Kenna the young women girls camp songs. Then you hear "come on Jerry sing with us. Come on, you know that song weeny weeny let's sing it!" The look on Jerry's face was classic! We have so much fun, Thanks again Jana for being a great sister, a great friend, and an aunt that is moving up to the favorite very fast! (right Candace and Lex?) :)

Here I am! I mean here WE are!

Ok so here it is my first "official" blog post! I am so excited and proud of myself I can't even stand it. Because I did it all by my little self with no help from lexy or even Jana. Man I really can do stuff when I put my mind to it! And Jana is even going to be more excited because she doesn't have to post things on her blog about us as much so my family could see it. Thanks Jana, you really did save my mom a lot of pain and heartache. I don't know how she would have been surviving without your pictures. Candace too, even though she may act like she doesn't miss me... she does! Love you momma and sissy.... and lexy because she will be so proud. (even though I need some help getting the cutesy layouts??? I got alot to learn I know) This first post is for you girls! I am in the blogger business woo hoo!
So I am not sure really where to start other than just to start with the recent stuff. I know Jana put our 4th of july pics up but i thought I would put some up just so I could figure this stuff out. I think we pretty much have the 4th covered so I will hopefully keep this up to date and go from here. I just wanted to say life in texas is great, everyone is doing good, we just miss our families but I hope this will help. We will keep you posted!
