3 Joys 1. Watching Bradley make Ena laugh 2. The rare times that my whole house is clean and laundry done 3. being with Mike

3 Fears 1. My teeth falling out (bad dreams all the time about this). 2. Bugs/Snakes--yuck! 3. something bad happening to my kids or to me when we are apart.

3 Goals 1. Learn ASL 2. Go back to school 3. To be a good Mom--this is a continually in progress kind of goal.

3 current obsessions/collections 1. Finding free things to do in Frisco. 2. My yard...little by little we are trying to get it were it needs to be. 3. I used to collect rocks and sea shells..but lately when I go somewhere I get a t-shirt..

3 Random surprising facts 1. summer or 97 my brother and I would play ping pong all the time..I never really wanted to play so Josh would say "If you win I'll give you..." I won a lot of things that summer.:) 2. Growing up I always wanted a pet monkey..but for now my two kiddo beans are all the monkeying I need.:) 3. When I met Mike's mom for the first time I had on tight black pants, a studded belt and a fake tattoo..He had somehow convinced me to play a trick on his mom and at the time we weren't even dating so I kept telling myself I'll never see her again...now she's my mother-in-law...:)

Now I'm supposed to challenge 5 people to fill in the above questions--but--since most of y'all have already done it--I challenge everyone that hasn't!! Have fun! & I enjoyed reading yours. :)

This week we are at my mom's house for a couple of days while Mike is down in Houston. My kids love it here sooo much...with all kinds of pets, a swimming pool, a tree house, a baseball field, getting to stay up as late as they want, ice cream..who wouldn't love it?? It's always nice to come here for a visit. Thanks for having us!
Mama found this huge turtle that Bradley named Rexy Turtley.:)

Ena loves her papa...I was trying to get her to go to bed so she ran to Papa's room and climbed in bed with him.:)

Someone started a house and never finished I guess.:)

We got room service a lot..it was all inclusive...

Our last dinner..this was dessert...fried ice cream.:)

Our attempt at a sand castle..not too good.

Happy 35th Anniversary!

Today is my Mom and Dad's 35th anniversary! It's also my Dad's birthday! I just wanted them to know how much I love them and how grateful I am for the things they've taught me and the example they have been to me. I was very blessed to be raised in a happy home with parents that loved one another. I am so grateful for the things they taught me. Every good thing in my life has come from those teachings they have taught me.:)
I love you both very much! I hope you had a wonderful day.:)
Happy Anniversary!!

Our Dance Party

We had a dance party the other day...it was fun! I just wanted to share some pictures of my cute kids.:)





Preschool Graduation

Bradley had his Preschool graduation this past Tuesday night! We are so proud of him!! We've had a great time in Preschool! He has made many friends and learned a lot! I still can't believe he is about to go to kindergarten!
Here are some pictures of our little graduation party..the wind was blowing really hard so they had to hold on to their hats.:)



My kids never look at the camera!


Here is a video of them singing.:)



Happy Birthday Mike

June 2nd was Mike's 29th Birthday! I would write a bunch of nice things about Mike but he never reads this..but we still love him and I am very glad he is a part of my life.:)

Bradley helped me make toast and eggs and pancakes for Mike's Birthday breakfast!




I think Ena is saying cheese.:)

Happy Birthday Mike!
