Cookies and the beach

Hello friends!

We have been devouring the yummy Weight Watcher cookies that Adam slaved over. They are so yummy and low fat(probably not when you eat 15 of them;) There goes my diet. You can find the cookie recipe here. Speaking of diet, I have lost 18 pounds. Which is great, but I still have a LONG road ahead of me. But, am continuing to stay strong and fight the good weight fight.

Anderson and I went to the zoo yesterday and saw this beautiful creature. We are going to be seeing many more pelicans in about 12 days. We are headed to Alabama to spend Anderson's birthday there and then to Panama City Beach. Panama City is my second home. I practically grew up in Laguna Beach. If you haven't been, then you should, it's truly heaven on Earth.

Down on the farm

Hello friends!

Saturday brought great weather our way, almost 90! We even saw the Easter Bunny. :)Yes, it was kind of a hot, but beautiful day! We just discovered that we had a cool little farm, just a few miles from us. Riding on "Appaloosa" Anderson is obsessed with animals(especially farm animals). And he seriously almost had an heart attack when he got out and saw all the animals!!He could fed this goat all. day. long!He chased this goat for a while. This pitiful pony was a boy named "Poncho", but I have to admit I really do love the hair color! ;)Have I mentioned that I love Texas in a lot of aspects. It's so beautiful.Bob, I took this picture just for you. What kind of bird is it? Hawk???It will never be Alabama, but it is pretty awesome all the same.

Rainy Tuesday

Hello friends!

Anderson and I were looking for something to do today since he was sick with a stomach virus yesterday. It is really cloudy, cool and raining a bit, so the zoo was out. Then I remembered we hadn't been to Cabela's in a while so...off we went! I told A to smile and he said "cheese" like alright already, let's get this thing done! :)Cabela's is awesome, for more than one reason. It has neat clothes for outdoor wear AND it has A LOT of FREE animal displays to look at and a HUGE aquarium with freshwater fish. I kinda think Anderson is starting to wonder why the animals are NOT moving. I don't even want to think about telling him about that yet...I think I'll save that one for his DaDa! ;)

Like I have told you many times before, this kiddo LOVES animals more than anything in this world! I hope he turns out to be a veterinarian. He got up here by the moose himself and said "cheese". ***************************************
In other news, his birthday is less than a month away and I am really kind of sad about him turning 3. He and I were talking about it in the car today and I said "Anderson, I'm gonna be sad when you turn 3, b/c you are not a baby anymore" and he told me "Momma, don't be sad at my birthday"!! Ha! Sweet big boy!

Adam and I are pulling out hair out trying to figure out what to give him for his birthday. Any suggestions? Obviously, you know the boy loves animals...

Roll Tide and The Happiest Place on Earth

Roll Tide!

Have you seen these precious shirts? I'm thinking Anderson wants one for his birthday! :) Me too!!

Life is beautiful

Hello friends!

Anderson and I like to stay on the go. But, it gets expensive trying to come up with something to do a couple of days a week. We absolutely love the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens. It's super fun and super cheap...FREE!Spring is out in full force and Anderson loves being outdoors and playing, running, jumping, and climbing. In my opinion, all of the a fore mentioned are good for little boy's souls. :)I absolutely love this little devious smile. It means he's up to something good(like running away from me;) This kiddo is a hoot, and sometimes it's really hard to keep a straight face when I'm getting onto him.We walk/run about 1 mile down the boardwalk through the woods and into a solarium/green house. Right outside the green house is a really cool fish tank. Recognize this guy? It's Nemo!

I love the sign on the fish tank it says "Please don't tap on the glass, it makes the fish worry" Ha!

We saw some more beautiful trees and flowers and I couldn't resist putting them on here, because my momma LOVES flowers! What in the world are these?!And our trip wouldn't be complete without a little climbing on the fence. Life is beautiful!

Last Weekend

Hello friends!

Last weekend, Adam's parents were here with us and we had a great time! We walked around downtown Ft. Worth(Sundance Square) and had lunch.

I LOVE the architecture in this city. Isn't this the coolest sign? Sadly, it was a bar, not a shoe store for kids...I was bummed.

We headed down to the Historic Stockyards. They had a free petting zoo and free pony rides-SCORE! Two of Anderson's favorite things! We even found where the keep the steers, when they are not doing the cattle drive down the street. We got up nice and close, which is how I got this picture. But, later spotted a sign that said "Danger, do not come within 20 feet of the fence" YIKES- I see why!! Just look at those horns!! This was "Freckles" Gami and Pappy bought Anderson his 312th(yes, I just counted all of his little animals) and he has been playing with and posing it every since! There is not a time, when he doesn't have animals in his hands!! ;) He Loves them so much.

On Saturday, I got Ms. Tami to garage sales with A and me. I really think she liked it, she bought a couple of things too.

Then when we came home, the kids across the street were playing in the sprinkler(yes, it was 86 degrees)and so we HAD to go play! ;)We had a fun weekend, thanks Gami and Pappy for letting us get away for our anniversary to the Improv Comedy Club for a little date! It was just what we needed.
