"Toy Tory"

Riley LOVES "Toy Tory" as he so fondly calls it.  Wakes up everyday wanting to watch the movie.  If only, bubba.  Then we would never go anywhere! 

This week in pictures...

This has been our week.  Playing with as many toys as we can find.  Mama creativity has not so much been a-flowin'.  Riley has been sick and we have been stuck in the house for about 3 days now.  Coloring books, play-doh, puzzles, tv, snacks, tv, snacks.  Is it vacation time yet?

Splash & run

A couple of weeks ago, I finally got a chance to take the boys to this cool splash park in Allen I'd heard about through a friend.  It was so fun and the boys LOVED it!  They had a ball playing in the fountains and running around this blue wall about 100 gazillion times!  Can I be a kid again?  I wanna run & splash and not have a care in the world for one day.

emily & jef

Okay... Can I just say I seriously HEART this couple??  They are truly the cutest couple I have yet to see on the Bachelor or Bachelorette shows!  I love Emily Maynard and think she is one classy, elegant girl.  She knows how to pick 'em and Jef is one amazing guy!  I really hope these 2 make it. Really, really y'all!  I know it's tv land, but come on, someone has to make it besides Trisha & Ryan, right?  

Love this one too....

End of Summer MDO program

I love these little music programs the boys' school do every year.  They do one at Christmas & at the end of the year.  If your kiddos attend the summer program, they do one at the end of that too.  The boys only went 1 day a week this summer, but Reid expressed a strong interest in wanting to participate.  So, what's a mommy to do when her son says he wants to get up on stage & sing with his friends?  Well, of course, I made sure he was able to go to school that day & sing his little heart out!  Even Daddy got to come watch him perform since he is so close to their school now.  That was the icing on the cake!  

Yay Reid!  You did an awesome job, buddy!  Mommy & Daddy couldn't have been more proud of you singing up there with all of your friends & teachers!  Precious, priceless moments!

Happy feet

I found these Keen's on a seriously good sale this summer. LOVE them! And... I love this picture more than I thought I would.  Precious little toddler feet!

Last day of MDO for the summer.  The boys had a ball going one day a week.  They do so much fun stuff with them at their school in the summer! Reid had a little program he sang in today for the last day.   SOOO cute!  And the best part?  Daddy got to come & watch him!  More pics to come....

Dad's Birthday

Yesterday was my Dad's 63rd birthday. Every year my mom & dad's anniversary is on July 24th and Dad's birthday is the next day, on the 25th.  Funny, notice the 4 candles on his cake?  When Reid saw it, he said, "Papa, you're 4 years old!"  Love it.  Love the mind of a 4 year old!  

It's a big month now with Riley's birthday, my Father-in-law's birthday, Dad's birthday and my parent's anniversary. They just celebrated 41 years of marriage.  Awesome.  FUN July month!  Happy birthday, Dad!  So thankful for your 63 years of life & all that you've taught me to be as a woman.  I am ever so thankful I've gotten to be with you to celebrate all your birthdays.  What a blessing.  Here's to another year of celebrating YOU!
