I was going to blog about our day out at NASA last Monday, today- but Chet has the pictures on his laptop, and I thought that while I was waiting to get the pics sent to me- we could all play this fun game! Many other people are already playing it, and I think it is a lot of fun! So- 1-2-3 GO! 1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot...anything you remember! 2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog... Read Full Story

Last Saturday we headed off to the beach to be with good ol' Aunt Christie! My kids can't go too long without seeing her- or else they start to flip out! The beach trip started out with piles of sunscreen-- because there is nothing worse then a burnt child. Apparently I'm turning into my dad and I put WAY too much sunscreen on my face - and don't realize what I look like til' my sisters decide to point it out! I thought they were just taking a funny picture of me- they didn't let me know I... Read Full Story

Here are some fun pictures from our wonderful afternoon at the Children's museum!:) 1st stop the "self-coloring" station. Aren't they cute? It is Erin and Missy and Lala (who are Brett and Amy's nieces) This is one of the plants in the back- and I actually planted one last summer because it is one of the best to grow in Texas- once it gets started - the less water and the more humidity it gets- the better conditions for growing-- well- I guess mine didn't get nurtured enough to even get...

This is one of my favorite songs from Oklahoma! When I was little I would watch it over and over again- especially with my sisters and the Hopkins - (remember Katie, Lauren and Mogie?) That was way back when they also used to have "intermission" during the actual movie! Why is it that when they sing in movies now- it seems more cheesy then real? Like the Buffy musical episode??? I never watched Buffy- but I made sure to catch that one- and I don't think I have ever laughed harder! LOL! Enjoy... Read Full Story

This is my kind of song! Sometimes singing a song can take you right out of being in a bad mood! I love "Zip-a-dee Doo-Dah" and my other favorite is "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning" from Oklahoma! So if you find yourself having a day- then just sing! Whether you are belting tunes to the radio or your favorite CD in your car, or singing while you work- no matter how corny the song may seem- JUST SING IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT! - Because as we know - YOU are the one that makes your morning...

We all have goals in sight and once a year we recommit ourselves to actually achieving those goals- whether it is losing weight, saving money, being a better person, getting your dream job-- whatever it may be- it seems like we keep trying and trying, but to no avail- or we achieve it for a very short period and then go back to the same place we started. There is a saying, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." I know that we should... Read Full Story

1. My kids love to roll down the windows in the car. Even if it is 5,000 degrees outside- they want the windows down. One afternoon, Ethan started rolling the window down, and I told him it was too hot today- but instead of him rolling it back up, he just shouted to the mom of a little kid wearing only underwear, " PUT SOME CLOTHES ON THAT KID!" I was pretty embarrassed- as I haven't done that since I was 12 years old! (he must have been watching me from heaven). I just hope that when the... Read Full Story

This is my DREAM car-- seriously- IT IS! (or a red one!) I have always loved the older models of the beetle and the convertibles are the best. My kids go CRAZY for the "punch buggy" game- so much so that if they see a PT Cruiser - they will punch you and say- "half a punch buggy" or if they find one in a book that they happen to be looking through or reading- they will come and show you and then punch you and say "punch buggy!" And if one out of the 3 happen to miss the punch buggy that... Read Full Story
