My Wacky Weekend

First off, I had an incredibly busy Friday and Saturday and kind of busy Sunday, but the best news is I survived because at times, well, I really didn't know if I was going to. 

I was helping a friend host a baby shower "tea party" for another friend in our MOPS Group.  No one had a truck to get the 3 tables and 13 chairs we rented from a rental place out in Grape Creek.  Everyone agreed, they thought they would all fit in my car.  I never thought anything of it again, until Friday at 1, when I was fixing to head that way to get them, and I started thinking that just maybe it wasn't all going to fit, with my 3 children in the car and their carseats!! 

I thought I knew just where the place was, you know right by the pumpkin patch.  Well, after driving around for 20 minutes in GC, I stopped and asked, and finally got there.  After moving Kylee to the middle seat, folding up her seat, and moving a LOT of stuff around, they got the 13 chairs in, but there was NO way the tables were fitting.  I really did not want to make 2 trips, so they strapped them to the top of my car.  We looked like the hillbilly family, but I really didn't care. We drove back to town; I climbed on top of my car to get the tables down, and unloaded them, and as I was driving away, my car made a funny noise, and I knew I was low on gas, but I didn't realize I was that LOW. I pulled into the alley, and could barely get the car in park. I was OUT OF GAS!! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Kylee immediately started crying hysterically, screaming, "We're never gonna make it home!!" :) Luckily, my friend, had a little bit of gas, and we made it to the pump.  Praise the Lord!! 

Saturday morning came, with everything going on, and my children had special places to be, I needed to wake up early. NOPE!! Overslept really bad!! Dang early morning work-outs!! I completely missed the work day at church, and just had to go straight to the baby shower. As you can see in pictures, it was a cute shower, and lots of fun!!

That evening was a lot more relaxing. We went to baby Teela's 1st Birthday party!! All these babies turning one makes me sad!! It was a beautiful evening outside, and the kids loved all the toys that they had at their house!!

And I must just finish off the weekend, by saying Sunday, wasn't as bad, but I did have to go back and load up the tables and chairs (this time in my dad's pick-up), and take them back out there, and unload all them.  I was a hot sweaty mess before it was all said and done. And then, I thought I was going to be super late to another baby shower, all to find out, it's not until next week!! :)

And then this morning, somebody (Kylee confessed, and got in big trouble) must have turned the key on in my car, and the battery died!!! So, Haley had to come jump it this morning!!

Life is Crazy around here some days!! :)

Somebody...

Got a new car seat!! And obviously loves it!!

My babies growing up hurts, real bad. 

Happy Wednesday!!

Girls Bedding??

When we actually move into our new house, each kid will have their own room, so I was looking at bedding for the girls' bedrooms.  I know it's probably a while away, but bedding also effects paint colors for the walls, and any furniture buying, and who is making the bedding because it could take a while.  

I have been looking at bedding, and I really love this bedding from Addison's Wonderland.   

Problem is they are pricey.  And, we watched them on "Shark Tank" one night, and Jason was like "it cost that much money for that stuff. That's ridiculous and you are not buying that."  So, I thought I think my mom could make it..... I showed her these and some more bedding I saw on Etsy, and she thought she could do it.  Now, to make a full size comforter, and to do that many ruffles on things, will take some time, that is why this summer we might work on it.

I love how they take random fabrics that don't necessarily match perfect and put them together. I think it would be fun to find your own mix of fabrics to use.  

I did ask Kylee if this was something she would like, because that would be bad, if we made it and she didn't.  She said she did.  I don't know about Maggie's room, yet.  I still would like to use owls for Maggie's room, but maybe use a mix of fabrics like these. 

Has anyone seen boutique bedding like this at Canton or Fredricksburg??

Happy Tuesday!!

Slams!!

Slammin' Jammin' Kylee!! 

Throw those high heels shoes and dresses to the curb, Kylee's got her work out shorts and knee pads on for some 

basketball!!

She got some arm pads from Jason's Mom and is using them for knee pads. 

Her and Jason played one-on-one for a good 10 minutes straight, and then he was laying down, needing a rest, and she put her hand on her hip, and looked at him like "why are you quitting?" She was having a great time!!

A little competitive, eh? Look at that face. 

She loves standing far back, and running to the goal, and doing "slams!!"  

Sometimes she hurts herself, briefly, and will limp around for a minute, and I tell her to stop, and she wants to keep doing it. 

Crazy Girl!! :)

Our Life in Pictures

I feel like I have a lot of pictures just hanging out there that I need to catch you up on. So,

Mags taking a sink bath after getting way dirty outside one evening. She pretty much can go were the other 2 go, and wants to go were they go.  As of late, she nearly always has dirt on her face, under her finger nails, and in her diaper. :) But, she's happy!! 

Somehow Jason ended up with me at the grocery store on Saturday.  In the 6 years we have been married, he has never come to the grocery store with me to do my grocery shopping.  We loaded up on 4 big bags of these, because well, he loves me.  I guess summer has officially started at our house. 

Jason's Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin got Kylee a princess baby doll from the outlet mall in Round Rock. We surprised her with it the other day.  She really seems to like it. 

Maggie up late one night before bed.  It seems she smiles like this a lot.  Big, wide, and open. I love it!! Speaking of Maggie, she threw 2 big fits yesterday, both included stomping her feet, and both included not getting some sort of food she wanted. That's my girl that loves her food!! :)

Waiting at Holland Jewelers to get my ring fixed.  They were bored, and we decided to take pictures of each other, instead of screaming, and aggravating Maggie.

Jaxon made a "coat of many colors" at CBS.  He liked wearing it, but unfortunately it only lasted for a few hours. 

Kylee and I painted our toe nails like Easter eggs a couple of weeks ago.  She loves doing stuff like that. 

Lots of Digging

The guys have been doing lots of digging lately.  And all the efforts have paid off, and in the farthest corner of the field, the farthest away from our house, they dug and hit a really good water well.  Should be enough to pipe to all 3 houses for watering the yard, and possibly a bigger and better garden than what we've had in the past. What a blessing!!

I don't really understand all this stuff, but the pump is on the right, and the most it could pump out was 20 gallons/minute.  This morning we went and watched them "pull" this pump out to put a bigger pump in it sometime in the next few days.  The other days the kids found some great big sticks to use as fishing poles.  They hung them in the water, and "caught lots of fish."

So, the well does no good sitting out in the middle of no where; they will have to dig a ditch line all the way through the field and lay the pipe, so we can start getting water to our house.  

After searching on the internet and calling a few places the guys ventured off to the Austin area yesterday, and bought an old ditch digger.

I think it'll do the job real nice, and the guys are in love with it. I mentioned that we could probably put it on ebay after there done and re-sale it, and I got a bunch of bad looks. I think it's going to be hanging around for sometime.

Easter Pics 2013

We had a wonderful Easter weekend with family. We had a great service at church, and then ate lunch with Jason's family, and then hunted eggs with the cousins, and ate supper at my family.  

Family Picture. 

Jaxon doing his serious smile with his eyes closed. When you ask him how he's going to smile, he'll do that pose with his hands on his waist. 

Silly Boy. 

Egg hunt @ church

Egg hunt @ Mimi and Popsie

The little blue Easter basket Maggie is using was Jason's when he was little. How cool is that!! Maggie actually found the "BIG" prize egg too, but Kylee said "I think Maggie is going to share with us too." :)

This weather has been fabulous for some bike riding.  The bike Maggie is on is one that Jason's Dad made for him when he was little.  That man never throws anything away!! :)  Which is good because she loves it!!

Egg hunt @ Grams and Paw-Paw 

It was a great time, but we are already, packing up the Easter decorations and putting them in the attic.
