Texas Football...

Is Crazy.  And here we are.  Texans now.  With 2 boys.  Signed up for football in the fall.  Crazy you might ask?  Well our 2 boys are THREE and SIX.  But not to worry.  It's just flag football.  That crazy, scary tackle stuff, well they wait until the ripe age of SEVEN.  Oh yeah.  And drafting.  That starts at SEVEN as well.  This football in Texas thing stresses this mama of 2 boys out! 

Lil foodie!

Boys are at VBS this week so Maycie had a sushi date with mommy and daddy at Sushi Fugu. She tried sushi for the first time and liked it! She asked for "syrup" (soy sauce) in her little dish. Her first roll was a shrimp tempura roll...she even liked the seaweed! 

"Oh The Places You'll Go"

I read this to Breck and Maycie before naptime and after I tucked him in he ran back out.  Gave me a big hug and said "mommy i'm going to miss you when I grow up.  i'm going to live in a house right by you okay?".....TEARS.  I have to say.  First I am PROUD that he understands the book and he can relate it to himself.  GO big boy.  You are WISE beyond your years.  And tears.  I can't believe someday you will be that big!!!

The biggest baby in town!

Today we went to the Fort Worth zoo to see the new baby elephant! It

Was my first time seeing a baby elephant. The kiddos and I all loved it seeing the "tiny" baby:) she was born weighing 330 pounds!! Wowzers! They have voting for her name, Kayden voted for Ruby, Breck voted for Sage and Maycie voted for Too Joo. 

Overall we really liked this zoo! Lots of animals, plush green surroundings and natural atmosphere:). 

Maycie's favorite animal was the baby monkey, Breck's was the huge alligator and Kayden and I's was the baby elephant. 

Fun day with my littles!!

Dancing in the rain!

It has been a rainy couple days in Dallas. We aren't complaining! We love the rain! Today we were heading to the park and as we walked out the door it started sprinkling and the kiddos were sad...Breck particularly was upset bc he wanted to play baseball! 

So instead of going back inside we started playing in the rain. 

Dancing around. Jumping in puddles.  Splashing. Stomping. Running. Giggling. Spinning. Watching leaves float by and rocks sink. Wet kisses and hugs. Finding slugs and watching them slither. Watching waterfalls going into the gutter. Pretending to be explorers lost in a storm and unable to find our way home.

My heart was so happy. So much fun in that spur of the moment event. A perfect night. Very blessed mama. 

Thanks daddy!

Someday you will have to thank daddy for being such a pampered princess baby girl. Because of how hard he works you get to be held by your mommy everyday for the 2nd half of your nap! Spoiled much?! I lay you down and you sleep for about an hour on your own. Wake up wanting to be held and then fall asleep again in my arms for another hour or so.  This has been your MO since you joined our family. And since I know how fast this tiny time goes. I hold you. I could do so much during this time. But instead I snuggle you.  Thanks daddy. You are amazing and we are so very thankful for the life you provide us with. We ❤you!
