Linking up with the lovely dollimama for the 52 week challenge!





I had a very nice, long lunch with a very good friend today! It was very nice to catching up and closing out the work week! It had been a while since we had taken the time out to go. She just got married, so I am pretty sure her lunch hours have been consumed with wedding planning and preparations!! :):) She actually had a destination wedding and has gorgeous beach pictures!! So loving the destination wedding fad!

Hope you all had a nice week and have an even nicer weekend!! Take care!

Happy 4th of July

Molly and Luke wanted to wish everyone a very happy 4th!! Actually they just wanted to show off their cute, very cheap outfits! Of course mommy was too lazy to take a picture with the real camera, so all you get is these phone quality pics!

Then she thought she could get the prized kissing picture....

But instead Molly got this!!

What I love about me - Week 5

Linking up with the lovely Holly and the lovely Allison's " What I love about Me" Meme/blog hop.



So far I have taken the mommy route on this link up, so I chose to keep that theme this week!

I love that I like to have fun with my kids!! My Mom always (still does) had fun with me as a child, so I am more than happy to carry that trait on to my kids! Mom never cared what other people thought of her looking or acting silly. Guess what, I don't either! If you can't laugh, smile and act silly...what can you do?? I love playing with my kids and making them laugh until they plea for mercy! I heart the sound of that deep belly laugh!! Gets me every time!

Don't get me wrong we all know there is a time and place for play! I for one will take advantage of those situations every chance I get! What about you?!?!

Fun without Mom and Dad!!

One of my birthday presents from Todd was to take me to the 4th of July sales at the outlet mall in Allen, TX. I took off work yesterday, so we could head out early. Last year we took M & L, but this year decided to leave them with Nannie. That way we could get some much needed alone time, plus shopping would be much more enjoyable. This was the very first time I have ever left them over night. I missed them like crazy, but enjoyed the time just with hubby. Of course they were the topic of our discussion a majority of the time, plus on the receiving end of most of the shopping! I did make sure that I used all my birthday money I received on me! :)

I don't think M or L had time to miss us at all! My niece Kayla and her boyfriend Branden helped Nannie in the entertaining department! The below pictures are in opposite order of the events, but it will still work. Friday they went over to Nannie and Granddad's to swim and ride bikes. Then today they went to the park to play and feed the ducks! I know they had a ball! Todd and I express our thanks to Nannie, Granddad, Kayla & Branden for making the trip so much easier on us! We had a very grand time while our kids had a very grand time!! Fun times all around!
