Pictures--Hooray!!!!!

Hello friends! I bought a sim card reader that will read my camera's old sim card and I am borrowing my momma's camera until we can get a new one. So, we have pictures!! I'm thrilled!!
We've had a great day. Anderson is hitting less, that's always a positive. Guess all those time outs really work, cause spanking didn't, it made it worse...and I HATED doing it anyways ;)We've been to the library and I reminded myself why I don't take Anderson anymore, because he wants to scream and run around and pull books off the shelf...eek!

We also went to the Goodwill Store and got 11 books for $4.05. I'm telling you it's such a great deal to go there and they have GREAT books! ha!While Momma and Bob were here I took these pictures. I will have more tomorrow. :) Miss them so much already!
At the zoo with Momma and BobMom looks more excited than anybody to be there! ha!Nunna reading Anderson's FAVORITE book, Matthew Van Fleet's "Cat Book".I LOVE this picture of Bop walking Annabelle and Gus in the park. So sweet!This is from Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum in San Antonio. Anderson wasn't having ANY part of being still enough for a picture! And Adam and Anderson if front of the Alamo. I kept telling Anderson that the slogan was..."Remember the Alamo" and when we would mention going to the Alamo, he would say "member"

You can obviously see how much it was raining too...so glad it stopped!

One last picture, I thought this picture was a hoot that's Britney Spears at the wax museum...Ha!

Busy Wednesday

Hello friends! Anderson and I have been busy this morning. It's so hard to think back and remember how I got myself and Anderson dressed in the mornings. We don't get ready and out until about 9:30 or 10:00 a.m. When I worked, it used to be out by 6:30 a.m. Ha!

Anderson had to get his ears rechecked (because he had a double ear infection two weeks ago). They looked good!! Hooray, cause I hate keeping him on meds.

We went to the Post Office because my momma's birthday is on Friday. Anderson kept saying "play" and I kept saying "this is the Post Office, you can't play here". Ha! The world is his playground:)

Several of you suggested different types of cameras and I'm thankful for that. Cause I have NO idea where to start.

I am wanting a camera that is not TOO expensive but doesn't have a delay. One that when I take a picture of Anderson he's not all the way turned around before it takes the picture. Do you know any kind that are like that?? I get so confused looking at them.

I just watched last night's American Idol of Lee's performance. Can I just say, "If he doesn't win then something is absolutely WRONG". He's awesome. Just awesome. Just watch...don't cha think so??! And that is one of my favorite songs of ALL time, I just loved Jeff Buckley's version!

I'm still contemplating what to do in our kitchen. I've got some ideas of using my existing fiesta ware, but need to keep looking around for other ideas.

My low carb diet is working, 3 pounds so far!! :)

Oldie But Goodie

Hello friends! Seriously, not having a camera is making me a little wacky. I see Anderson doing something cute and I run to get the camera, but darnit...I don't have one.

We haven't done all that much today. We've walked the pups, gone to Target and played on the swings for 30 minutes. Seriously, I think Anderson could swing all day long. He has started making me swing beside him and I have to admit...It's still pretty fun. Although, I'm amazed the swing set doesn't come tumbling to the ground with all my weight on it! :)

I'm on this LOW carbohydrates diet and I am starving literally to death! But have lost 2 pounds since yesterday, so what's wrong with starving a little bit. I'll let you know how I'm doing.

I truly thought about putting up a before picture, but wouldn't do that to myself or you either, for that matter.

You are probably gonna think I am obsessed with the fifties, but I've been letting Anderson watch this and this -theme songs on you tube. I would watch these shows as a little kid on Nick at Night(remember when Nickelodeon used to do that)? I always thought Mr. Wilson on Denis the Menace was so stinkin' mean!

Please tell me that I was not alone in doing that?! Ha!

Long Time, No Talk

Hello friends! I've been out gallivanting with my momma and Bob(my step-dad). We've been all over the Metroplex and then down to San Antonio last weekend. We had such a good time and I am VERY sad to see them go! Sadly, my camera broke and so I have NO pictures, and you know I'm a BIG fan of telling my stories with our pictures. Oh well, I've been wanting to get a new camera for some time now.

Mom and Bob drove out to Texas last Sunday. On Monday, we headed over to the Ft. Worth Zoo and had a ball. It sure is getting HOT out here lately. I am really dreading the summer heat!!!UGH!!

Tuesday, Anderson came down with a terrible runny nose and horrible cough and mom and I took him to the doctor. They tested him for allergies and put him on Claritin. Do you know that is a miracle drug? Cause it is. He totally has NO symptoms whatsoever!

Wednesday, we went to the park the one with all the wonderful trees. They LOVED it so much and Anderson played on the playground, which he LOVES!

Thursday morning, we got up and drove to San Antonio, for the weekend. We stopped at these AWESOME outlet stores, and did some shopping . I tell ya, I lOVE that city. I am trying to get Adam to find a job there in a couple years. It's that awesome!!

On Friday, it rained so hard, I thought we would need a boat to get out and sight see. We went to Ripley's Believe It or Not and after wards it got sunny so we hung out on the Riverwalk. Which is so beautiful and cool!

Saturday morning, we headed over to Sea World and had a ball! Anderson LOVES it so much and Mom and Bob did too! Too bad, I got burnt:)

Any ideas for what kind of camera we could get. Don't be giving me multi-million dollar ideas-ha! Cause I'm sure I'll want that!! :)

Peeking Back Out

Hello friends! We are peeking our heads back out into the world today. Anderson has been sick the past couple of days. He has a double ear infection and has been very fussy, and yesterday had a fever of 103!!! That is SO scary to me as a momma.

But today, he is doing great! A little slow moving, but doing good! We've been on the swing set in our back yard today and it's so nice out today!! Love this weather. I wished it wouldn't get any hotter than this(all the native Texans are laughing right now). I think it gets like Africa hot here! Yikes~~

On Sunday, Mom and Bob are driving over from Alabama and I'm so super excited to see them.

Next Thursday morning, we are leaving and going here. Can't wait!!

Happy Mother's Day to all you mommas!!!

Just Peachy

Hello friends! We are doing much better today. Anderson is hitting less. Yesterday, he had 4 time outs...it was EXHAUSTING!!! He is such a sweet boy, he's just going through a hard phase....maybe!
We ran to Wal-Mart for our grocery shopping and bought extra food, because Mom and Bob are coming this Sunday(on Mother's Day)! I'm so super excited!!! Next Thursday, we are going to head down to San Antonio for the weekend and go over to Sea World. So EXCITED!!!
Our neighbors have this treeand I think it's a peach tree??

Anderson is obsessed with it and keeps saying "pick fruit" and we do.
We had a strong storm come through last night and it blew little un-ripened peaches all over our back yard.
Anderson thought he would tidy up! Ha! Look closer. Can you see the nice, neat tidy pile he's made?
After reading Abby's post, It makes me long for the white sandy beaches of Panama City, FL and the yummy doughnuts at Thomas' Doughnuts...OH July hurry up!

It's Hard Being Two

Hello friends! We ATTEMPTED story time at the library, but came home early. Someone was not cooperating. I don't get it, this is the only place where he totally acts up and doesn't mind me.

Maybe the library has a dark force about it! I'll think I'll go with that explanation.

I was so mad at him cause he embarrassed me in front of other mothers who are in our Sunday School class.

But seriously, I think I have like 16 more years of embarrassment coming or something like that...
Oh well, I've probably embarrassed my mother thousands of times. It's payback.

I told you Anderson is me through and through, hard headed youngin'. Guess that's why I love him so much and can't stay upset with him.

When we came home, I watered the plants and Anderson ran through the water a thousand times.

While watering a plant, mud flew up and got all over him...he laughed and I felt better.
I sure do LOVE this kid!

Hey, maybe somebody will give us a free dream vacation to the happiest place on Earth??! ;)

Prayers please for Adam's great aunt Juke. She fell and shattered her knee yesterday and is undergoing surgery today for a total knee replacement.
