Here's our photo:

This photo was taken Labor Day weekend, September 2007. We had just taken our first family of four vacation to Fossil Rim Wildlife Ranch in Glenrose, TX. After our little vacation we drove to Malakoff and spent the weekend with BeBe & Pop and the rest of the family. Keith and Austin spent a good amount of time fishing in the tank with minnows. I love these "like father, like son" photos.

It was a great time! Kaitlyn was only 4 months old and Austin had turned 3 that summer. He started his first day of preschool when we returned home. Such good memories....seems like yesterday.....

I now tag.......Courtney, Andi & Julie Estes!

NKOTB Rulz!!!!

Ok.....if you don't know what NKOTB stands for then you do not have to read any further.....


Well....it's true....I am still a New Kids on The Block fan! Yes, I went to their concert with a friend last night and absolutely had a BLAST! Wow! It was AWESOME!!

There was plenty of dancing, singing, jumping up and down and not just from the New Kids. Just picture the entire American Airlines Center in Dallas full of women that look like me that are all reminiscing on their middle school crushes! (Jordan was my guy, by the way!)

Here are some pics!

After 2 or 3 encores and the last song of Hangin' Tough.....the concert was over. I would see them again tomorrow if I could!

Well, as most of my close family and friends know, I am a pretty sentimental person. Which translates.....I keep everything! About a month ago Keith and I were reading through some of my old middle school notes that my friends had written back in the day and just cracked up laughing! Because every one of them had I love Jordan or NKOTB Rulz! Ha!

Here's just a couple of them! Gotta love the origamy...

Needless to say, it was a BLAST!!! Sorry that my other friends who loved Jordan Knight couldn't go, but someone had to represent!

State Fair of Texas

I thought these were pretty cute! Kaitlyn and Austin really enjoyed the State Fair. What could be better than a day of spending Daddy's money on fun and junk food? You can tell both my kiddos like to dance. That must come from watching Mommy all the time. I am not sure where the love of sugar comes from. Ok, Ok, maybe I do know, they had to get something from me. Daddy does love sugar!

Getting Creative!

Ok mommies........you know those mornings when you wake up, open your eyes, realize hubby is going to be gone ALL day and you think to yourself..........what am I going to do with the kiddos ALL day? You know what I'm talkin' about. Well, I had one of those days last week........and here is what we came up with.




A fort.........a bear cave........a tiger cage......ROAR!

The kiddos had a great time playing in the "fort" all day! I even had time to get some things done around the house! Bonus!



Austin did a great job of using his imagination! He came up with the bear cave and tiger cage ideas!

Cutest li'l tiger cub I've ever seen!

Mommies have to have FUN too! (Austin took this pic....pretty good, huh?)
