Can your five year old run around in shorts and little pink cowgirl boots three days after playing in snow.
Only in Texas…

Christmas dance recital 2017
Posted onWatching our three precious dancers’ months worth of work pay off is one of the most priceless rewarding experiences ever. I love being their mama.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Posted onToday we took our children and grandchildren to see Santa at Matt’s work. They had a blast playing in fake snow there. We never imagined just a few hours later they would get to play in real snow. Our children got to help their daddy build a snow lady taller than our eight year old! 
Charlie Brown
Posted onToday was Bitty’s kindergarten Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. She said her favorite thing about it was the whipped cream spoon.

My shadow…
Posted onLittle ladies are all tucked in their beds. Bitty was my shadow from the moment we got home until she laid down. She even drew me a picture of us. Matching red hair and purple dresses and a little pink piggy. I love how the sky wraps all the way around us & our big smiles. I especially love when she draws pigs for me! (5 years old)
My greatest find…
Posted onToday our two youngest babes had their kindergarten and 3rd grade character book parade at school. Mad was “Klause” from the book “Series of Unfortunate Events” and Bitty was “Alice” from “Alice in Wonderland”. They have a half day of school and get to look forward to a weekend with Maw-Maw! Matt and I are out of town for the weekend to watch my best friend get married! On our way our we stopped by for a quick visit with Budah, Monica, & Nina. Then took a little

After a little exploring we found this gem of a spot to take a picture…
And if anyone didn’t already know, he truly is my greatest find. After a leisurely lunch and roaming through a few shops we took off to Denton. After getting settled in our hotel
We discovered we were less than a half an hour from Oklahoma, so why not add a new state to our list of places we’ve been together. 
So we took off to a casino for a nice dinner after walking around and taking in the sights. Luckily we aren’t big on gambling, so we only lost a few dollars. Then back to Denton we went to enjoy the rest of the evening together. Looking forward to what tomorrow brings! How cute are these little sparrows we found for our bedroom in Waco? We have matching sparrow tattoos, and they happens to have a red and blue one which red and blue birds have always been significant to me, so they were perfect!

Tea time!
Posted onBitty and I started a tea set collection earlier this year while I started planning her Alice in Wonderland birthday party. We have since added a Wizard of Oz set to her collection. I also bought a miniature Wizard of Oz set to give to her for either Christmas or her 6th birthday. Some day they will all belong to her. 
It all began with her love for my miniature blue willow tea set that once belonged to my Maw-Maw….
Bathtime monitor
Posted onA few days ago I write this facebook post:
“Today I learned something else that was unknowingly foreign to me. I forgot what it was like to take a bath or shower without a kiddo trying to climb in with me or picking that exact moment to corner me with 1,001 random questions that could have easily waited. At least the dogs felt the need to keep checking on me.”
Then today while taking my bath:
Bitty dancing around my bathroom while I take a bath…
Bitty: “You haven’t taken a bath in a while mommy!”
Me: “That’s because I’ve been taking them while you’re at school every day.”
Bitty: “WHAT?”
How dare I take baths without her supervision?
