{Back to School}

Alas, Aubryn is about to embark on her 2nd year of pre-school on Monday.

Sadly, summer is coming to a close and real life is about to begin.

Yes, she really is studying the Spanish dictionary :)

I love you Aubryn and I will miss you terribly.

I know that you always have such a marvelous time when you are in class with your friends.

I know because on your off days you beg to be there.

You are my little social butterfly

and

you have an insatiable appetite to

learn

new

things.

I love you.

Three's Company

While Kel was taking his text books all the way back to Mesquite last week,

the kids and I headed to the rink.

Aubryn has been excited to practice her skillz,

and

Beck likes to come along for the ride.

P.S. I just love little figure skates on my little boy!

Celebration Park

This past weekend we went to Celebration Park in Allen.

I can rarely get Kel to a pool, but splash pads he loves.

This time Kel was behind the camera for most of the time so there are actually some pics of me playing with the kids.

Two to Cuddle

Two to wake up, greet the sun.

Two to tumble.

Two to run.

Two to laugh.

Two to sing.

Two to share the backyard swing.

Two to splash across the brook.

Two to read a picture book.

Two to stir and two to bake.

Two to eat a chocolate cake.

Two for lifting. Two for tugging.

Two for hide-and-seek

and

hugging.

Two in costume.

Two at play.

Two to put the toys away.

Two in jammies, sleepy-eyed.

Two to cuddle side by side.

Two to yawn in starry light.

Mommy...

me....

Sweet dreams, good night.

You Know You Live in Texas When...

You're driving down Main Street and your son yells out,

"look, cows!"

and your daughter responds by saying

"those aren't cows, they're long horns"!

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus

We went to the circus in Fort Worth last week.

It was 'aight.

It was pretty pricey and really there was only like one thing that REALLY impressed me.

It was all of our first time to the circus and I don't expect us to go again.

This was the one show that was pretty cool and pretty lame at the same time. Do they know how dangerous this is?!!

What's with the weird lady hanging from the bike? Decor I guess.

Only in Texas. I love it!

We went to our fave BBQ place on the strip and walked around a bit.

Yes, they are all really riding this.
