Life!

Oh my goodness...I can't believe that it has been over 3 months since I last posted on our blog!!! Where has the time gone???!!!

Okay so for all who we haven't seen, talked to, or kept in touch with through emails and on Facebook...here's a run down of our lives from Sept. up to this point.

The girls have LOVED their dance and gymnastics classes...they start up again in Jan. Here's a picture of them before their performance and performing at the Round Rock Family Christmas Night:



Haley all ready for the Christmas night program



Emily all ready for her Christmas night gymnastics routine




Haley is the 5th (counting from left to right)...doing their turns!




Emily doing the bridge! (she's on the far right)

Let's see....we have also been busy with church. We participated in a Celebrity Dinner...that's where people come dressed up as celebrities and did various performances....it was TONS of fun! We also had a Fall Fest at church...the girls came home with way tooooo much candy...as usual! The ladies of the church got to participate in a progressive dinner for our Nov. Women's service and that was so fun. Then we celebrated Thanksgiving with friends and family.

We have finally arrived in December. I can't believe how fast this year has just gone by. We are going to spend the rest of our month on vacation and enjoying some much needed family time. I'll keep you posted on our adventures!


Have the best day ever!

New Adventures

So our house has enjoyed this Labor Day holiday and we have had a very relaxing day together which ended with a nice walk around the neighborhood. We have really taken advantage of a down day like today because starting tomorrow we get back to the school work and starting Saturday the girls have a new adventure to embark on. I'll give you a hint...it involves:




AND.....





DID YOU GUESS IT???

Starting this coming Saturday morning Haley will be participating in Kinderdance and Emily will be participating in Kindergym. They are both soooo excited!! So for the next 4 months we will be at the rec. center every Saturday morning for the girls classes. They can't wait!! We went and bought Haley some tap shoes last week. She already had the dance clothes. Emily also was blessed with some gymnastics clothes from a friend so she is all ready too!

I'll post pictures soon of them attending their classes. It's going to be an awesome time for them to get out, make new friends and try out new adventures!!


May you have a spectacular week!!!

Ahhh...sweet Saturday!!

Yesterday was a FANTASTIC Saturday for our family! It was one of the last "free" Saturdays we will have for the next few months, so we took the time to really relax and enjoy it!!

First thing in the morning we took the girls out for breakfast burritos at Speedy's Tacos. It's become one of our favorite Saturday morning traditions!



Then Travis had to help one of the single women in our church move, so the girls and I went to the park to feed the ducks and play. It was such a beautiful day and the creek at the park was nice and low so I decided to let the girls go ahead and play in the water for a while. Of course...they LOVED IT!!!

















Then we met up with our dearest friends and went to the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum (since the 1st Saturday of every month is FREE!!!). We ended our day with dinner and a movie with our dearest friends!! It was a WONDERFUL Saturday!!!

First Day!

Yesterday was our first day of homeschool! I've had the lesson plans and books ready for several weeks, but yesterday was our 1st day of school! Even though the girls are just in pre-k we have school everyday, just going to go ahead and prepare Haley to start Kindergarten next year! This year I've also been blessed with the opportunity to teach two kids from our church who are in the 7th and 2nd grade, so you can see we have quite an age span here. A 7th grader, 2nd grader and 2 preschoolers...it's a challenge to keep up with everyone, BUT we had a WONDERFUL 1st day! The preschoolers did a few pages in their workbooks and the older kids got to pick some subjects they were interested in and work on them (they are still waiting on all their books to arrive before we work harder everyday). It was just an easy relaxed 1st day of school and I know that this year is going to be so awesome!

I am so blessed that God has given me a husband who loves the decision we've made to homeschool and works so hard to provide for our family so I can stay home with our children.

I am looking forward to an awesome year at home with my babies, teaching them not only "school" work, but also life skills and more and more about God! It's going to be amazing!

Cow Day!!

Today is Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-Fil-A!!
WE LOVE CHICK-FIL-A...anyday, but Cow Appreciation Day just makes it so much more fun!!

The girls and I have dressed up for Cow Day before and had so much fun doing it that we decided we were gonna do it again today. I am babysitting right now another little girl, so we dressed her up too.

All the girls had their cow shirts, little black tails (made out of felt), signs that said: "Eat Mor Chikin", and I put all their hair up in pig tails with little red ribbons. Emily wanted to wear the cowbell, so she got an extra red ribbon and wore the cowbell with her outfit. They were so cute and LOVED the free food!! There were tons of people there all dressed up in the cow attire too. OH YEAH, we will soooo be participating in COW DAY next year! If you have a Chick-Fil-A near you, I highly recommend participating in Cow Appreciation Day, it's lots of fun and you get free food!! :)





Have a "Cow-Tastic" Day!!

8 years!!

Today's the day folks!! 8 years ago I married my best friend!!

The past 8 years have been remarkable. We've grown up together, grown closer to God together, grown closer to each other and have two awesome little girls! God is so good and I am so thankful that I have such a great and loving husband!
