Pics from my phone...

I was looking through all the randomness that my phone holds and let me tell you, there's some doozies! All the weird pics end up on my phone because I always have it with me and if I need to snap a pic I can...genius!!

It was so hot out this afternoon and I caught the kids resting under the umbrella...too cute!

Jack's jet he drew in sidewalk chalk

His "eyes" from his Happy Meal...he laughed forever at this pic

Birthday PARTY!!

I completely forgot to post pics from the kids birthday party!! We had a little shindig at McDonald's and the kids LOVED it. They were so surprised when their best buddy Stephen just "happened" to show up...it was so cute. A few of Robbie's little friends from school came and a few of Jack's classmates too...even his teacher Mrs Harris.

Jack's eye surgery

Jack had to have eye surgery last Thursday and came through like a champ. I, on the other hand, was a nervous wreck! They had to move one muscle on the inside corner of his left eye so that it will be perfectly straight, hoping for his eyes to fuse at a distance to result in depth perception (he has none.) So far, everything seems to be doing well but we won't know for sure if he'll have the results we're looking for for another six weeks. His follow-up appointment was very encouraging though, so we're staying optimistic.

Blue Bell, Bluebonnets and George Bush Library

The kids and I were in Bryan awhile back for a short trip and had to make it out to some of my favorite places. We did all the touristy things and of course stopped by the George Bush Library which had a NASA exhibit that the kids enjoyed. We also looked at the great big horses but couldn't get a good picture becase the sun was so bright (that will be a recurring theme in the rest of this post!)

My little astronauts

We also stopped by Blue Bell (YUM!!) and took a little tour. The kids thought that was the greatest thing ever, especially watching them make the ice cream sandwhiches (Jack's favorite) and a tasty sample on the way out. I wanted to take pics of the kids with ice cream all over their faces but BB has a strict "no camera" rule. Oh well! On our way out of Brenham we spotted a HUGE field of Bluebonnets and had to be "that" family on the side of the road taking pictures. It was worth it though since Jack's been learning all about Texas in school and could hardly wait to take the pictures and show his class and teacher.

Please don't mind the squinty eyes and silly faces...the sun was SOO bright!!

And the Bird is three...

How the time flies. She thinks she's going on seventeen and is a mess! She knows all her letters by sight, shapes, colors, etc. And she's finally growing! For such a long time she was such a tiny thing but she's quickly gaining in height and weight and is such a big girl.

Just a couple of months old

The boy is SIX!!

Almost, anyway. I can't believe that my baby boy is soon to be six. It just boggles my mind. I've been looking through old pics on my computer recently and found some of Jack throughout the years. Looking at pictures from just last year, I can see the "baby" is gone and he's just a boy now. I just. can't. believe. it.
