June Pics

Cayman found mommy's jewelry box again...can you tell?
Give this girl shoes or jewelry and she's content!
Be scared Daddy....very scared!!!!

I love this face....

Miss Peyton came over to visit us

this day so mommy could go do some shopping! We had a great time at our play date.

The races are on!

They do this all day long and they are giggling the entire time.

It's unforgetable moments like these that make me want to have 20 of precious little ones.

Girls Night OUT!!!

Last weekend was the premier of Sex In the City... It was such a fun movie! We started the night at the Blue Goose then walked over to the Studio Movie Grill for dinner & a movie. There was a huge group of us that met. I'm guessing around 25 of us. We had such a great time.

Changing Churches....huh?

I have hesitated to make any mention of my current thoughts because they have purely been a scrambled mess. Nearly the only thoughts that have been through my brain in the last 10 weeks has been our church situation. Corey and I have been attending our hometown church for 14 years now and due to some rocking of the boat we felt led to visit other churches. The church we visited was also a local church and was truly was fantastic. The minute we walked in the doors we felt welcomed and loved. But the loss in our hearts became nearly unbearable. I volunteered at Vacation Bible School last week at our lifelong church and it really struck a nerve. Through lots of prayer we decided to revisit our church as a family this last Sunday. It was undescribable. I expected a few people to notice we were gone but nearly everyone we came into contact with specifically said "you simply can't leave". It was the exact constructive criticism I needed. I know God has great plans in store for us whether it be at our church since childhood or somewhere else. Wherever it might be I just pray God keeps His hand on our family.

C's last school day

Last Thursday was C's last day of school. It was her first last day of school...if that makes sense? It was really sweet. Thanks to my wonderful friend, Court, I got to spend most of the day up there with her. They asked all the moms to spend much of their days up there for the party day.

This was them playing in the gym
This is Mrs Angie & her other teacher was Mrs. Kate. They were both FANTASTIC teachers.
This was a typical lunch time. She wouldn't stop starring at me because she was so shocked I was there having lunch with her.
Now it was time to cleanup & blow off some energy. All the kids thought it was fun to push their highchairs back to there storage spots. It was hysterical watching them.

Weekend Pics

This weekend we spent most of the weekend creating my new hobby room in our closet under the stairs. I have a few pics but until the room is finished the pics just won't do it justice, so stayed tuned! hehehe

These are a few pics we took of the kiddos playing in the living room on Saturday. They are beginning to play so well together. They look at one another now and start laughing and it's almost like they are talking to eachother in a form of laughing. It's so funny!

Saturday night we went with a bunch of friends to the Rangers & Astros game. We started off with a tailgate party, headed in for the game (which the Rangers WON!) then enjoyed a Robert Earl Keen concert just outside of the ballpark on lake.

Most of Sunday we worked on my hobby room again and then my "hill billy" husband and Barry put the pontoon in our POND.

Mother's Day

This poem doesn't make any sense until you're a mom. And it just really hits home once you are. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Happy Mother's Day to all you MOMS!!!

Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.

I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.

I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on.

Pooped on.

Chewed on.

Peed on.

I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.

I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried.

I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.

I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down.

I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.

I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.

I never knew that I could love someone so much.

I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.

I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.

I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.

I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.

I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.
