DeBabies

My big sis gave birth to two healthy, happy babies last night in a worry-free delivery.  Her family went from 3 to 5 in one day, amazing. Praise God for Bristol Lynn and Kadyn Jean!

Pics coming soon...

Backyard

This is for all you nerds out there who thought I couldn't save my upside down cactus plant that I nearly killed. Not only is he living, but he's makin' babies.

(just ignore that big black spot on the right where a part fell off, hee hee)

The only thing normy loves more than his new "kingdom" is his large red outside bed, otherwise known as the nap mat. 

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this boy loves his bed!  And to prove it, I moved it a few times.

He eventually got tired of that game and tried to keep me from moving it anymore.

 

Happy Dog :)

Georgia

We went on an incredible trip to visit 3 incredible ladies this past weekend.  My sis-in-law lives in Georgia, and what a trip it was! There was river exploring, walks, wine, visiting, visits to the creek, tears, laughter, and stories of old times.  As always, I wish there were more pictures, but luckily I managed to snap a few keepers!

I was so honored that this little hand reached out to hold my hand every time we rode in the car, and a few times outside the car too.  She is normally very timid around new people, and her want to be close to me spoke to my heart and made me feel like family.

 This one was so sweet, full of smiles and happiness, and there's really nothing better than hearing the sound of little running feet coming toward you at full speed and a voice yelling "aunt birdie! aunt birdie!"

I also loved watching how he loved them... it came out in hugs, book reading, hand holding, listening (with the help of an occasional "translator" to make sure he understood what that little voices were actually saying), and it was precious.

pink stick!!

There are these unique, awesome plants all over north texas that I love, and I decided to plant one in the front garden beds almost 3 years ago.  The part I love the most is the long stick that can grow up to 6 feet high, and has pink flowers at the end!  Mine started small with green pointed leaves, low to the ground, and didn't have a flower on it...yet.   I have been waiting and waiting...it has been doing it's thing, with no noticeable change, but when I went to mow the yard a few days ago, a long pink stick with the signature pink flower buds just suddenly showed up! check it out...

 

I am so excited my green thumb is still working. :)

Just fence me in

Whatahusband built this with his own two hands, and I love him for being so handy and such a hard worker.  Is this not the most beautiful fence you have ever seen?!?!?! I am such a proud wife. :)

Pics from my phone...

A snapshot of some of our days captured on my phone :)

 

 Yep, you guessed it...that cup has alcohol in it.

My little hands were not cut out for digging holes in our backyard.  I found the biggest most durable bandaides I could find to cover the most massive blister...I'm pretty sure I will never recover from it. 

I grew up in Kansas, so I know exactly what to do when a Tornado comes my way. Go up to the 4th floor of the place I work and take pictures of course! I ain't scared of no twister.

 

Quite possibly the cutest Easter basket I have ever seen.  I came up with LOADS of pants jokes that I have been dying to tell, but in honor of the true meaning on Easter, I will keep them to myself, hee hee.
