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?)

Tropical Storm Ike (We've been downgraded!)

Hurricane Ike

Living in A Small Town

You know you live in a small town........when you back out of the driveway and Austin excitedly says, "Mommy, we are almost there!"

Happy Grandparents Day!

Austin's new school celebrated Grandparents last Friday! Mom & Dad made a special trip to see Austin and have ice cream with him. They all had a great time!




It looks like Grandpa's shoes aren't too big to fill!

Austin's First Day of School!

Austin has had a great first couple of days of pre-school! He has been excited to do new things and run around with some new friends. Here are some pictures of his first day of school.....





A quick bite of banana before we go.....


.....and Kaitlyn helped Mommy "dust" the hard to reach spaces!
