Rain rain go away...it is now fort day!

Since we cannot stop the rain, we decided to make Sunday fort day! Our living room turned into a huge fort. The girls loved it...Daddy did too! Even Tucker had a smile!

Family Photos...

Well, we have been trying to have our family photo taken officially since the beginning of April. The weather just hasn't cooperated. We finally got our pic taken on Thursday. My friend, Karen, was kind enough to chase us around Botanical Gardens! I can't wait to see the pics. We have not had an official family picture taken since our family was completed with Jess. And, yes, Jess will be two in July...bad bad bad Mommy. It is so hard to get everyone on board! This pic was an impromptu after an Easter Egg hunt. I will post pictures when I get them!! Very very excited!

Oh my Laney...

Laney informed me today that I have horns...meaning that my hair was sticking out. Oh my Laney...if you only knew...

Hello out there...

Is anyone reading this blog anymore??? I do not seem to get any comments any more...am I boring?

On the way home...

On the way home from school today, Jessi was very tired. She was fussy...unusual for her. Laney finally looked at her and said, "Jess be patient. You know Santa is watching." Too bad she doesn't take her own advice... :)

Storytime with Shushpuppy...

Jessi and I went to storytime today! She just loves it. Her favorite part is the Bean Bag Rock!! She does very well following the directions! I am so proud of her!

Happy Mother's Day to all those mommies out there!!!

Rain, rain

Rain, rain go away...you are raining on my photo parade!!! I have to reschedule again for a photo shoot!! Why can the weather not cooperate?

McWaning it today...

We went to McWane today because the rain, rain won't go away! When we got there, the parking spaces were very limited. That made my stomach hurt...I hate it when it is so packed! There were buses pulling in from every direction. GROAN! We almost changed our minds and went elsewhere. I am so glad we didn't!! Dinah, the girls, and I had the best time! We went straight to the Itty Bitty City and played our hearts out! It amazes me to watch the girls in action. I love the imagination shining through! Laney is just so grown up. Jessi is loving being able to get into the middle of everything. Laney was very into the grocery store today. Jess spent her time running from thing to thing...her survival instinct kicked in. Fight or flight, baby!!

Grateful...

Just thinking about how lucky I am...two beautiful girls, one sweet husband, and one cuddly dog! We are also surrounded with love and support from Grandparents and friends. Truly blessed...

Storytime...

Today Jess and I went to storytime. She loved it! She is getting more comfortable now that we have been a couple times. The Beanbag Rock was a huge hit with Miss Jess. She danced her heart out! Funny...Laney wouldn't get up and dance for anything. Isn't it amazing how different personalities can be? I have to remember my camera next week!

Cookies!!!!!!

Preschool Spring Program

Laney had her preschool program today, The Three Billy Goats Gruff. It was precious! Of course, I took my camera. Guess what? Laney hid behind a friend the whole time so I couldn't get a shot of her! It figures!! Oh well! I guess you can't have pictures of everything despite how hard you try. I am sure she is snickering to herself!!!

You gotta love those girl getaways!

I went to Destin with Lisa and Melissa this weekend. We had the best time!! We did a little shopping the first night we were there. We had dinner at the Crab Trap close to the condo. Melissa made some mean peach martinis! The next day I, of course, could not sleep in so I went on a photo spree around the premises! I am really loving manual! We headed to the beach that morning and glistened in the sun until about 3:30. We headed back to the condo to have a little snack and "freshen" up! We had a good laugh at the sunburn patterns on Lisa and Melissa. Somehow I did not get that much sun...strange how that happens! Of course, we had to have chocolate martinis to get the night started! That night we went to Baytown Wharf to have dinner at Graffitis!! It is so good! We went to Rum Runners to listen to the dualing pianos as well as giggle at a lot of drunk bachelorette parties. Overall, it was a great trip!! It was too short but, I missed my family! Funny how that is...you need to get away but you miss them like crazy when you are gone! I have to say though that I love spending time with Melissa and Lisa! It is so good to just laugh until it hurts!

Browders added to their family...

Don't get excited!!! We are not pregnant! We have some new feathered friends though! On Friday, Tucker sounded the alarm at the window...we thought Lisa had parked in front of our house. We were pleasantly surprised to see these two friends in the front yard! Jessi and I went out on the steps to say hello! Jessi was mesmerized! They were very friendly! They loved our tree stump in the front yard. They stayed for about 30 minutes and then waddled up the street.
