Life and it is flying by!!

This Weekend:

Memaw came into town! Yeah we have not seen her in a very long time. John was suppose to come with her but he was ugly and had to stay in Austin! Please pray for him as he is having some behavior issues. This morning we went to the pool. We got in for 5 minutes and then they called safety brake! Then it thundered so we had to wait another 15 minutes. We had just gotten back in when it really thundered, we gave up and came home!

Astros Game:

Tonight was the ACU baseball game. I know I did not go to ACU but my sister did and so did my husband and I might as well gone there! I just decided to not take on the big student loans that go along with ACU. But anyway back to the game. Lillie Beth and Jackson both did great! Lillie Beth wanted a hat and so Daddy got her one! Or Memaw actually - Thanks Memaw!

We had a great time. Thank you Aunt Shelle for inviting us!! Jackson was a great sport, he napped, hung out and wiggled!! We left during the 7th inning. On the way home Lillie Beth said that she had fun and wanted to know when we could go again.

Daddy, Uncle Chris, Aunt Shelle & Lillie Beth!!

Las Vegas:


Well my trip to Las Vegas was wonderful! We stayed at the Mirage! That place is wonderful. The white lion and tiger exhibit is really cool. I think that is the first time I have seen a white lion!! Oh and they have dolphins! They had a 2 week old he was too cute. I also go to see Celine Dion - her voice is amazing. And for those that have seen it - I wish I had that black chair!! ;) We gambled a little. I broke even or I should say I made enough to pay for my meals and fun while I was there. Jackson did great. I kept him on TX time so he wouldn't be too confused. I definetly had a great time but would like to go back without a child! I am waiting on pics to be sent to me so I will update when I get them.

Time has just been flying by! Last week we went to Dallas with Gary and had a great time. It was the first time we have traveled with Jackson. The first night he was not sure where he was and cried for a while but then he went to sleep and slept most the night. He did great the rest of the time. Lillie Beth had a blast at Mimi's house. They have a very small pool (I would call it a large hot tub) But we swam and played. WE went to where I use to work. The have a playroom for kids and Lillie Beth had a great time playing. It was great to catch up with some old friends! We also went to dinner with my brother Garth my nephew Keegan - My sister in law is on a 3 week mission trip in Brazil and my other nephew John was visiting friends. We have not seen them in a very long time I am thinking a good 2 years. I wish we could have seen the entire family but hopefully next time! John graduated this year and will be attending Texas Tech!! I cannot believe he will be in college. I feel so old. Well I am now on the down hill slide to 30!! AHHH. This week we have been hanging out, cleaning house, doing laundry, getting ready to go to Vegas! We leave tomorrow!! I am so excited. Anyway better go pack! I have lots of pics to post and will have more after this weekend so I will do that next week!

Pool must haves!!

Thought I would share with you some items I could not live without while at the pool!!

Lillie Beth's tube - It is the best! I got it mid summer last year and by the end of the summer she was swimming off by herself! This year she is already jumping and sliding in it. It puts her shoulders under when she hits the water but her face does not go completely under! She swims off by herself and does not want anyone to touch her! She can do it! She asked to go off the diving boards and I said your not big enough and she replied yes I am! I got this at Academy!

Jackson's chair - This chair is the best! I bought it to take to the office when I was working. It folds up just like the big camping chairs and has a little bag to fit into! I leave it in the car and have gotten it out several different places to use it- my sisters, the pool, the office!! With shipping I spent $27!! I found it on Walmart.com Well worth the money to have something that doesn't take up much room and you can use it anywhere!

Summer time!

We have been spending lots of time at the pool! If you are a resident in The Woodlands you can get a pool pass for the summer! The cost is $30 for adults and $6 for the kids! Let me tell you we really get our moneys worth! Last week we went 2 or 3 time but so far this week we have been everyday except maybe Tuesday. We usually go either right when it opens at 10 a.m. and stay till lunch time or we go in the evenings about 6 and stay till it closes at 8! When we go in the evenings I spend about 30 minutes swimming laps, treading water, or just moving in the water! Lillie Beth has no fear of the water! I took her float off tonight and she didn't want me to hold her. She tried her best to swim but she just sank! I pulled her up and she wanted to try again! I am really going to find her some swim classes! I could really post tons of pictures of Lillie Beth playing and swimming but I will only share a few!

My Weekend!!

Gary has been out of town since Wed. He will be home some time tomorrow. Lets just say the kids have been keeping me on my toes. Don't they look like Angels?? Don't let them fool you!!

I think most of you know that we have been having issues with Jackson pooping! Today it had been 9 days and he was extremely fussy and I could just tell he needed to poop. I gave him a suppository and he pooped really good! So I clean him up and get dinner started. Lillie Beth starts screaming and I come to see what is going on and find.................................

Priceless! Poor baby! I came up with a game plan to get him cleaned up and take the bumbo outside to spray it down. And I come into find.................................

Like her mustache? It was a washable black crayon! I only had to use a wet wipe! But it tells you a little how my last few days have been! On top of giving Jackson breathing treatments 3 times a day, taking care of two dogs. Oh and we have not gotten Dowie fixed yet and she is in heat again!!! AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

We have had some fun! We went to the pool twice! Sorry I do not have pictures of that but my small digital camera is broken and I did not take the big one. But I will get some next time. The first day Jackson did not get in the water it was pretty chilly! But then last night he did. He did great. No fear!! We also went bowling with some friends. Oh yeah we went on a major hunt for some Crocs for Lillie Beth. Aunt Shelle has ordered her some but they are on back order. WE went to 5 stores before we finally found a pair!! They are a chocolate brown color. I got her little flowers to put in the holes. She loves them. She even tried to sleep with them on the other night.
