Liberty Homecoming Week

P had Homecoming Week at school. They always have a theme per day during this fun week! This year there was Camo Day, Class Color Day, Animal Day and Navy Pride Day! So much fun!

Texas State Fair-2009

Here we are again, at the State Fair of Texas. Actually, C had never been before this and it was P's 3rd time. We had a long day with beautiful weather. I can proudly say that I did not try any of the fried stuff...ie..butter, pickles, twinkies, oreo..ect...Yuk! But, we did have our fill of popcorn, cotton candy, and a corny dog for Daddy!

Remember 9/11/09

Today on the way to take P to school, I was crying while hearing all of the sweet messages and the national anthem. He asked what was wrong, and in his understanding, I explained 9/11 to him. In that moment, we decided to do something today to show someone close here our appreciation and that we had not forgotten. After school, The kiddos and I along with our best buddies and neighbors took a little trip over to the local fire depart. to give them a cookie cake, some kid made cards, and a big bunch of Hugs and hand shakes! My children were so excited and of course Miss C wore her 4th of july outfit to make sure they knew she cared! LOL! I am so proud of our country and so proud of the Americans who serve everyday. We chose our local station because they have a dear place in my heart already. They have toted my sweet baby girl to many hospitals in her short life. Approx 5 ambulance rides since birth and toted myself about 3 that I can remember for complications with pregnancies and kidney stones.....so they are esp dear to me. Thank you so much for all you do, everyday for all of us! I cannot even express the joy my children felt and experienced shaking the hands of those men and knowing that they save lives. My son has not stopped talking about this and keeps saying "it's nice to be nice to nice people"...so simple...and so easy and so, so true! Thank you Lord for these men and women.

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down..

It is a sad day today. My dear sweet friend delivered her baby early this morning. He was only 20 weeks and is now with his maker. Love her and her precious self. She and her baby now share a birthday. Prayers are all around her, but I pray mostly for God's grace. Sweet, sweet baby.

Miss C

Where does the time go. First you are married and no kiddos, then you have a baby, then a toddler, then a 3 yr old who thinks she is 10! It's a great thing that she still wants her blankie! That makes her Mommy...(MOM) as she calls me very happy! I just LOve her!

I wanna love you till the very END!

Galveston 2009 Labor Day

Family...who could want more in this earthly life. This was the first trip as a famiy of 4 in 2 years. Very fun, emotional, sweet and sweaty! LOL! We had the best time. Watching my husband and son strengthen their relationship on the coast was more than any Mother could ever ask for. Oh my God....oh my loving, gentle, faithful, gracious, just God. We were joined by My parents, one of my m-i-l and her sister and my brother and sister in law. We stayed for 3 nights and had a blast playing together. We sat in the pool, basked in God's glory at the Beach and shopped like a bunch of sinners! Thank you my Lord for all of the blessings you have bestowed upon me and mine.

Alright, so we are now a hipper blog! Ha! Still working on this!!!!!! Here are my most recent pics of P and C!

Diamond in the Rough

Okay, so this Saturday morning was none like any other! David is moving home today and so the moving of stuff begins.....but not before I get the phone call that Mr. P is sick...and needs to see the Dr. Yippee...so Miss C and I hurry to grab him from Daddy's then we hit the road to the Ped...but wait.....wait for it.......yes, that is correct, Miss C is huffing in the back seat, when I ask her what is the deal, I hear " I lost my diamond up my nose" and with HUGE tears and screams, I realize that, yes..again, we have lost an item up our nostrile. Well, being that we were already on the way to the Dr. we were able to get our appt. for 2! We were just here 2 weeks ago for Miss C's slit chin that required, tears, blood and some medical super glue! So, of course when we arrive, I hear "oh, it's C.......again" followed by quiet laughter among all staff! We were in and out ind about an hour, in that time we learned P has a virus, no strep, needs more inhaler meds, they ice burned his wart off of his hand, C had a diamond removed and off we went. Needless to say, Poor Jack who was declawed on Friday did not get picked up from the vet today, maybe monday Jack, maybe monday!

Galveston 7/2009

So we headed out to Galveston for a getaway for about a week with our Gramma Alice, Grandma and Grandad and our aunt Lacie! We stayed at the Moody Gardens for a couple of nights, the Galvez (where my grandparents honeymooned all those years ago) and a couple at Gramma Alice's. We had such a great time and fun was had by all..highlights were: Ferry Ride to Boliver Island and seeing tons of dolphins while on the ferry, touring the submarine and battleship, the BEACH (of course) and fun restaurants and dives!

Glad Tidings to all

Okay, so more tidbits of our holiday! I just love being able to wake up for the first day of Christmas break and see the faces of my smiling children with wonder floating in their heads! They were so excited about ALL of the magic and blessings this year! Really interesting that my 2 year old was more obsessed than ever with being good, but not for santa, but for Baby Jesus to have his birthday with her! SHe really was so nuts about this and it was just a pleasure to watch her learn all the traditions that seem still too mature for her! I am so honored to be the mother of these two precious gifts from God! Merry CHristmas!
