Nick has a job in The Woodlands, but we have a house in Mckinney...and somehow life just keeps going. Or, should I say coming. I feel like we are getting hit left and right with one thing after another and it just doesn't seem to stop. I feel like I am constantly bracing myself for the next blow...It is just a few days...
It's been forever since I have been able to update this blog, so instead of trying to go back and catch you up on everything that's happened, I'll just stick to the highlights. You're welcome. :)Nick started a new job in The Woodlands. The first three weeks he was working there Monday-Thursday and then he worked from home on Fridays and was home...
So, it has kind of become an after church tradition, that every Sunday we go to Pasados for lunch. Nick and I love it, it's cheap, the kids will eat it, AND they have free sopapillas and ice cream! So, really it's a no brainer. Anyway, back to my story. So, we are sitting at the table waiting on our food and Luke...
It's snowing!!! Normally I would be super excited. I love the snow. But, really? Could this week be any crazier? I was supposed to be finishing up some last minute party errands and cleaning the house today. Instead, I will be stuck inside trying to wrangle the monkey kids and convince them it really is not a good idea to go outside and...
We have not been sick all winter and now Luke has a double ear infection. Really? Could the timing be any worse? His birthday party is in 3 days. He started his antibiotics yesterday so I am hoping that they start working fast. He has been SUPER grumpy lately and wakes up 57 times a night. Last night he came into our room...
I was really feeling optimistic when I woke up this morning. I promptly plopped both kiddos into the bath while I took a shower. Blow dried my hair, washed both kids hair, got everyone dressed, and was looking forward to our playdate at the Wiggly Center. I looked over to see Luke with his blankie wrapped around his head log rolling across the...
...is this too much? A little over the top? Or just right for a sweet little princess "big girl"? I love this bed for Sissy's "big girl room" but not sure we can swing the $3000+ that it would cost. So, I am thinking that I can just have my handy man husband make this. It looks easy enough, right?Oh and I just...
Luke enjoyed his very first overnight camping trip a few months back and I just found the pictures. As you can see, they had a blast and can't wait to do it again once the weather warms up. Since Luke is all about dressing up he had to wear all of his camo stuff to be an "army/camping man". ...
Nothing really going on today. We are just hanging out at the house waiting for Daddy-O to come home from work. I've got chicken enchilada chili cooking in the crockpot and my house is mostly clean. Sissy has been a little stinker today and even pulled my hair once. She was mad because I wouldn't let her eat toothpaste. Go figure. So, I...
My sweet sisters, me and our precious babies. It is rare to get a picture of all of the sisters together so I thought I would post this one. This was taken while we were waiting in line to see "ICE" at the Gaylord. I love my sisters! ...
Breakfast casserole and food photography. Love them both :) ...
I am determined to get back on track with the blog and start posting more, but the problem is we have nothing going on. Absolutely nothing. I continue to clean house, do laundry, and make sure everyone is fed and generally happy. I am enjoying my new melaleuca cleaning products which has helped spice things up. I almost have all of the laundry...

Should you happen to ask Sissy to show you her "sweet face", this is what happens.And some of Sissy's favorite things as of late...cutie orangesher purse"bubba" (luke)"baba" (paci)"mine" (blankie)raviolisaying "uh-oh" about everythingand, of course, her "sweet face" ...
So over the last week or so we have really been enjoying our days lounging at home. I think I may have gone into hibernation mode since all I care to do is eat, stay home, and stay warm. And the funny thing is...I've never been happier! I usually have to get out of the house with the kids at least once a...
Wow. What a night we had last night. Let's just say I dusted off the old "Strong Willed Child" and "Solving Sleep Problems" books last night and implemented a few techniques. The battle of wills finally ended around 2am with Luke's bedroom door being locked. He was pretty upset about that, to say the least. Boy does this little guy have a strong...
Among many other things I resolve to accomplish this year, I plan to work on improving my photography skills and begin writing a business plan and timeline. Realistically, I want to be back in business full time once both kids are in school. To reach this goal, I will need to continue learning and refining my skills over the next year or so. ...
I hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year's Day! As for us, there will be alot of relaxing, napping, eating, and nothingness. I'm not even taking down the Christmas decorations until tomorrow. Today is R-E-L-A-X-A-T-I-O-N...ahhhhhhh :) ...
