Treat Yourself

These past couple of weeks have been so hard around our house.
There are changes coming for the boys and I.
I know that I have not been myself lately and I just hate that.
I want to take every opportunity to let the boys know that even though things will be different, I will always love them and work hard forever to make them just as happy as possible.

My FAMILY means the world to me, has since day one.
This will NEVER change for me.

Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs was such a nice movie! Maribel and I took the boys to see it in 3D. WOWZA are they getting good at this 3D stuff now!... no more red and blue lenses. Just AMAZING.

We always wait just a few days after a movie has been out before we go that way we can be just as goofy as we wanna be in the theater!


I'm serious when I say the good days have been so few lately, but when you are having a good one why not go for some ice cream?!


We were especially fond of this banana man! What a job!
He may have been a little humiliated,(you could tell) but all of the laughs we had driving home just because he was there were wonderful!

That place is always hoppin! The weather wasn't even nice.
And no, I could NOT stomach the ice cream even though it looked delicious, so Maribel was a good friend once again and took care of it for me.

OINK!
Maribel has been staying with us until she heads out this coming week to Norfolk, Virginia where she will be at a new command. Good Luck to her. She has been a great friend to me. I'm not sure what I would have been these past few days without her. I will miss her dearly. WE have found a true friend in her.

Happy Birthday Stone

It's six days after his birthday and I haven't posted in awhile.

We went to Lubbock to celebrate Stone's 8th birthday! As usual the trip was fantastic and seeing everyone was AWESOME!

I now have two eight year olds. It's like this for a month and a day and then Sam turns a year older. They grow way too fast. I hope that I remember every little thing about every single day with Sam and Stone and I hope they remember me in everyday as well. There is nothing more important than these two little boys. They are perfect. So kind, sweet, and beautiful in every possible way.



Happy Birthday Stone! You are such a big boy now!



The best part about going to Lubbock is that we get to see all of the cousins! Family...the reason I would agree to move to Texas in the first place.

Celebrating a birthday is so special when you are a kid and even more special with a bunch of people who love you.

Hunter, JT, Daphne, Haylee, and Brandon. Thank you for being there!

And Sam and Hunter, I had no idea how great you two would look with this hairstyle!

Let's let it grow out now that we know how good it will look!

I took this picture of beautiful Haylee blowing bubbles. She is absolutely gorgeous! Makes me wish I had that little girl I always wanted, but I guess the hugs and love I get when I see her and Daphne will have to do! I am NOT COMPLAINING!


Have you seen a more perfect baby than Jackson? I could love him, hold him, and kiss him on those cheeks forever! He smells great too!

It was such a good time and thank you Ninny again for being such a wonderful hostess...
AS USUAL!
It was so nice seeing everyone.
