A birthday, my bracelet and stockpiling

Hello friends!

This weekend we had Jaycie's birthday to attend. Jaycie is Anderson's friend from across the street, she turned 8. Anderson had a great time at the party. A always loves cake!It was awesome, good old fashioned fun: scavenger hunt, musical chairs, pinata and pin the tail on the donkey! A wasn't crazy about the blind fold over his eyes during this game. He kept saying " I can't see". *************************************************
Yesterday at church, Anderson made me the MOST beautiful bracelet ever! I love it!! His teachers spelled out his name and he picked out the beads. He wants me to wear it all the time( I promised I would and I will, I love it so much cause he made it)he even wants me to wear it to bed with my jammies. This picture is for you Nunna. He said "cheese Nunna" We are supposed to have bad weather tonight(some possible tornadoes)which I am deathly afraid of(isn't everybody?)..could you please say a prayer for our area? Anderson has been busy stockpiling all the lotion, soap and even toenail clippers into the bathtub..Ha!!!

Garage Sales

Hello friends!

Do you go to garage sales? If you don't you really, really should. Anderson and I try and go every Saturday morning. He loves going just as much as I do. He always comes back with some little animal prize he's found for a quarter or 2.

Today, we got this cherry wood, hand needlepoint chair(that was done by the man's grandmother) for $2...don't ask me why he was selling it and for $2...crazy!We also got this cool Japanese looking box from the same man. Although he said he thought his dad brought it back from Korea after the War, but $2 and I just couldn't part with it!Got this for you, mom!I also scored from the same house these vintage mickey mouse tin games from Disneyland in 1968(the lady told me she went and got them when she was 6). I found them listed on ebay for $65-95!! Hmmm....gonna have to try and sell those!This is my handsome partner in crime that accompanies me to the sales(after our weekly stop at the donuts store). Side note: Pappy keep saving that spare change! It comes in handy for things like 25 cent horses :)He never leaves empty handed either. People think he's a cutie pie so they end up giving him things for free! ha!

And....We're Back

Hello friends!

I have no excuse my absence, just life keeps getting in the way. But, I really like being able to look back on all I have blogged about and one day print it into a blog book for Anderson to have.

We have done lots in the last month since I blogged. Adam's parents were here and we had a great time with them...Sea Life Aquarium at a mall(crazy..huh?) And the twirlie car on the carousel..oh my!Adam and I even got to go on 2 dates. Once to the movies and then to the Dallas Mavericks vs. Boston Celtics NBA game. It was really awesome and Adam loved it and so did I!

If I'm being honest, I was excited at first about Khloe Kardashian being at the Mavs game because her husband Lamar Odom now plays for them. I had all these grandiose visions of meeting her and getting my picture made...never happened. But, truthfully, I loved watching the actual basketball game itself. It was, well exciting!

***********************************
Anderson and I (as you are well aware) love frequenting the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens. It's free and beautiful and gives A some space to run and be a boy.****************************
Anderson's friend Becca comes over a lot and hangs out with us..they are good friends! They love playing together.

Random picture of the week this big boy loves to read while on the potty! Ha! I hope he always loves to read. And last, I had to take a picture of Anderson and SOME of his animals(this is no where near half of the collection ) don'tcha love the fake smile! I love this kid so much!!!

The Halls Go to Texas

Hello friends!

Mom and Bob came to Texas to spend some time with us. We had a nice, relaxing time while they were here. We didn't do much...played outside a lot, went to the zoo and the park and that's about it. But it's wonderful quality time with them. I LOVE when they are here!Poor Gus, has a slipped disc and had to go to the vet after walking in the park....I cried, I love this baby boy. :(Anderson had Bop tied up somehow and was pretending he was a team of horses pulling a carriage...what an imagination!Gus and Winston enjoying the sun and the 70+ degrees!We probably spent 2 hours or more outside each day. Ahhhhh...it was good for our souls. And for laughs....At the Ft. Worth Zoo Nunna and meTrying to touch the meercatsOur picnic at the zoo! What I didn't photograph was Anderson trying to chase all the birds away who were wanting our lunch! Ha!!The zoo can be so tiring...especially if you don't have a stroller. But, hey at least our Bop would carry us!Farewell Nunna and Bop! We will see you in April!
