A new idea and a 1st Haircut!

As much as I want to blog it isn't happening. The only thing I'm any good at updating is facebook. So I'm stealing an idea from a friend what if I update this and post it on facebook.

Worth a try...

Parker Pants is 15 months old. He is so fun but I'm not gonna lie a piece of me is sad. Where in the world has the last year gone? Where is my little baby? Today I lost a little more of the baby. There is cute longer hair styles and then those that aren't cute. We were getting a little to close to the wrong one. It was time to cut that crazy hair.

Here are some pictures of my sweet boy. He was a good sport. Like his sister Mai he wanted NOTHING to do with the cape. He about climbed out of his little car to get away from it - Funny since he always wants things (necklaces) around his neck. He loves his pearls :) Once that was established he let her work her magic.

And just like that he is a little boy.

A Taste of Spring!

We spent the day with some friends at the Dallas Arboretum. We had such a fun time. The flowers were amazing and I tried my best to get some pictures...

It started out rainy and a little cold but ended up a fantastic day.

Mai told me when we got there that she was "an expert nature adventurer"

Lead the way girl.

Looking to find her "very favorite" flower. Yes, I did panic just for a second that she was going to tromp over the ones in front to find it - she was just fine though - remember she is an "expert"

Not only pretty - they smell good too!

Parker likes the flowers too!

Hmm these look good enough to eat...

Problem solved... Thanks Ava.

I think...

This is how I feel about not getting a picture of all three together :) hmpf.

We just might have to go back.

Cowgirls

It was Cowboy day at preschool on Thursday.

Mai's class had a rodeo.

Not the best quality videos but I thought they were cute.

I was told Mai might have a future in barrel racing :)

Love is in the air.

Love of greasy Pizza and crazy girls!

Love of toes

Love of socks. (they are always in Parkers mouth instead of on his feet)

And yep, of course a LOVE for football.

Parkers ready he's mastered TOUCHDOWN!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Snow much fun!

It's true more snow then we will probably ever see again here in Texas. It was a fun taste of a real winter snow. Brought back some sweet memories of snowsuits and moon boots. (I really wished that I had both:)).

Texas snow bunnies.

Let the fun begin!

Some working

Some eating :)

Helping build the biggest snowman ever (in our yard)

What are we doing?

I don't want to make a snow angel!

Awww but look it's so cute.

We made an Ava snowman too!

We had so much fun. What a great treat for this Texas crew!

And so it begins

At just barely 5.

I picked Mai up from school today and a little boy asked me if he could date Mai.

Her teacher told me he had told her earlier he was going to "date Mai" and that he knew she would want to because he "is hot" seriously those words came out of a 4 or 5 year olds mouth?

I was telling Galen the story and Mai joined the conversation. With a smile on her face she told us she was going to go on a date with a boy named Riley. Galen not liking the idea asked her if she even knew what a date was. "Yes, we are going to go to a nice restaurant, and have a special dinner". "It's going to be amazing". Was Mai's answer. Galen asked - what does it mean to date someone Mai. She without hesitation answered "to spend special time together with someone".

Hmm yep, we're in trouble.

4 months and counting...

The state of my blog is so incredibly sad to me. I need a blogging weekend so I can catch up. I keep thinking maybe I need to just start from where I am instead of playing catch up. I can't bring myself to do it - the things I've missed are to big to just move on without covering them. Babies, a vacation, a 3rd birthday. I would so love a day to sit and catch up. It will happen I will be back.
