I love those Rug Rats

Last Week my mom and dad had the grand kids and took them on a vacation for part of the week and then for the other part they hung out at Granna and Grandy's house(aka Mom and dad). So Thursday night Steven and i went out to eat dinner and hang out with them. Whew!!!! i was tired when we got home at 10. Mom made a pot roast, with carrots, green beans, corn on the cob, and mac and cheese. Oh and she also had cantaloupe. YUMMY!!!! It was so good. So after we ate, mom and dad said we'll clean the kitchen and yall can take the kids to the park. (which is really the school, mom and dad live about a block from it) All those years in high school when we lived out on the ranch, I begged them to move to town and they never did; now i don't live there and they move to town. What's up with that? Anyway sorry, back to the story. Took the kids to the park...they had so much fun and of course i took the camera along too.

These are my favorite 3 rug rats.

Alexis(8) Cole(10) and Cooper(6)

Cooper climbing the rock wall, with uncle Steven helping just in case.

Alexis and Cole climbing the rock wall, I can never get a picture without Cole making a silly face.

Then we decided to try the sea-saw out, wow, a little scary with these 3.

Once cooper was done, she would just jump off and send either her flying into the air or the other person on the other end flying to the air. WOW. I had to finally tell her to slow down.

Then she decided to climb the goal post, I asked if she needed some help and she said "NO" and boy was she right, look at her go! All by herself.

Then Alexis tried to do it, but she needed a little help from Uncle Steven. HA HA Cole tried too but he needed my help, and lets just say glad there wasn't a picture taken of that one.

Next, we tried out the swings and i thing that's were everyone had the most fun. First Steven and I started out pushing all of them and then we decided to join in on the fun. Here's Uncle Steven and Cole swinging together. You know I used to be Cole's favorite, well lets just say that all changed when Steven and I got married. He loves his Uncle Steven, they love to X BOX it up.

Before we went back home, i had to get a group picture minus Steven b/c he had to take it. The deal is when we take a group picture is a good one first and then a silly one, or else you never know what you will get for the good one. So here's the good one...(nice red faces we have, it was hot outside)

and here's the goofy one. Crazy kids, but i love them!

We had a blast hanging out with them, when we got back we had sugar cookies that the kids made the night before and they decorated them too. They were yummy too. Then we decided to play skip-bo, its a card game. It was 10 times better playing with the kids. The stuff they do and say, they could keep me laughing all night long. So after a few games, we decided to head home. Told everyone bye and went home. oh yeah ---Anytime when Cole is there and Steven leaves he always says bye uncle Steven, I love you! ha ha and Steven always says bye, and Cole just keeps saying it until Steven will say it back. So mom told me the next day that Cole kept saying it and Steven said love you too. Awww, mom said i think that made Cole's day.

Lots to talk about

Here we go... Steven and I left last Tuesday to go down to San Antonio to go see some friends from high school. Steven and I stayed in a hotel right on the river walk. It was so nice. It was called Hotel Contessa...a little pricey but very nice. They have a pool on the top floor of the hotel, which Steven and i tried out Thursday afternoon. But on wed we met up at a Mexican restaurant on the river walk with my friend Matt and his wife Mary (by the way love those two to pieces) and Steven's friend Chuck and his girlfriend Daisy( met Daisy for the first time and she is super sweet and fun, but then again you have to be to keep up with chuck). Chuck and Steven graduated together and Matt and i graduated together but were all very close in high school. So after eating we went to a place called Howl at the Moon. Its a piano bar, much like Pete's. We had the best time catching up and have drinks and laughs. Here are a few pictures.

My friend Matt and his wife Mary

The Girls: Daisy, Mary and Me

The Boys: Steven, Chuck and Matt

On Thursday we walked around the river walk, the mall, the Alamo and the went to the pool. Ate some really good food and just relaxed. Friday morning we got up and left to go San Marcos to have lunch with my grandmother. Since we were passing though i thought it would be great to eat lunch with her since I'm not down here much. So we stopped at a burger place and ate a good lunch. Then we drove to Lacey and Jared house because on Sat was Caine's first birthday!!! When we got there on Friday we hung out with them and Steven's parents and then Lacey and i decided to lay out by the pool for a while. Steven's mom cooked dinner that night and then we all played a dice game called greedy dice....fun game. Saturday was the big birthday party!!! We let caine open up his presents before he took his nap and then afterwards we would have cake and ice cream. While caine took his nap we all deiced to go play pool volleyball. Me, Steven, Lacey, Jared, Emilee and Adam. Fun games boys beat us but we also said they cheated. ha ha well during the last game of volleyball, i did something to my back and it started to hurt. Didn't think much of it, just probably sore from playing....wrong pulled muscle as we found out later. get to that later. Had cake and ice cream and watched caine be the center of everything, its so much fun when you have a little one around to entertain you. here are some pics of him over the weekend. can't believe is already one. Lacey and Jared... you have one cute kid and yall have done one heck of a job!!!

Caine checking out the car Steven and i got him

Took him a little bit to get into it.

Eating his birthday cake!

We got Caine a Texas shirt like ours, it was so cute. Even thought Steven's not smiling, i think Lacey got one of him smiling.

Love this Kid!!!!

Oh yeah about my back, Steven made me go see a Dr. when we got back into town yesterday and the Dr said a either really strained in it or pulled it. But she gave me a huge shot in my butt and then gave to different things to take for it. It hurts so bad...and laying in bed and on the couch doesn't really help it. Oh and to top that off when were gone this week, someone stole my potted plants off my front porch.....who does that...oh it made me so mad. They were nice pots too.

New Paintings

I haven't been painting lately because sometimes life is a little crazy. But since i had off today and this past weekend, i decided to do a couple. So... I thought i would share the two that i did. Let me know what you think. Trying some new different things. I really like both of these and hope you will too. Hope yall have a good rest of the week. By this time next week I will be on vacation....wooooooo hoooooo. Hurry UP!!!!!

Women's Conference

Last Wed. Katie and I went to a Women's Conference with my mom. She invited us to go along with some of her lady friends. The conference had Angela Kinsey from the show Office there to speak. My mom is really good friends with Angela's sister. So we went and listen to her and ate some good home cooking from Kathy's deli. Angela was so funny, she talked about her journey through her life and things every women should know. Here are some pics of Katie and i at the conference and with Angela.

Kenny Chesney Part One

So how did the concert go you ask? Well....funny story. It rained and rained and rained and rained. But the concert said rain or shine. So Steven and i were ready, we had our rain coats on and smiles on ready for a great night. Started off Great with Lady Antebellum, started raining about 3 songs into them singing. So Steven and i decided to go up underneath the walk way to keep dry for a little bit. Well it continued to rain, so we stayed up there will Miranda Lambert sang. It finally stopped raining, when she was done, so we decided to go back down to our seats. It took about 45 minutes to get the stage ready for Kenny, before he started. He finally made his big appearance and it was great. Sang some songs sprinkled a little, not to bad though. So i decided to go to the bathroom, b/c i knew the lines would be short, which they were, but as soon as i started down the stairs to go back to the seat it started really raining. But Steven and i were troopers we stayed in the pouring rain. After about 20 minutes of it, we decided to go back up top for a little bit. I was soaked from my waist down. Kenny decided to stop for a little bit b/c it was lighting so bad. When we finally made it to the top the came on the loud speaker and said "Go Home, shows canceled." WHAT????? Are you kidding me? I felt so bad, i was really pumped about seeing the show, but felt really bad b/c i know how bad Steven wanted to see him. But as of yesterday Kenny is coming back to Frisco on May 17Th.....WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!

I did get some pictures, but not a whole lot since i didn't want my camera to get soaked.

This is what the put down when they were getting the stage ready

We had really good seats

Kenny on the big screen

look at all those people!

I'll put some more pics when we get to go back in a couple of weeks
