Daddy's Injury

Playing football with Uncle Shawn last night Daddy hopped into the house with an injured ankle. This morning he couldn't even stand on it to get out of the bed! So I took the morning off and at 6:30 this morning we were off to the ER....Twisted ligament and he is off work for the week. He is frustrated because now he is having to take time off for an injury that he could have "walked off" a few years ago. I reminded him that he is that many years older and a few pounds heavier these days :) he is taking it like a champ though...if only I could be sure he really was using his crutches!

Last night...

Last night we went out to dinner with Paw Paw and Grandma Sarah to celebrate his hard work and Kyle and I's anniversary. Paw Paw took us to Reata's for dinner! Yep, I know good food. Something we could never go to ourselves...How did we pull that off? A grown up dinner the first one in almost 5 years? Grammy and Poppy! I asked Grammy and Poppy to keep them while we went to dinner and Poppy said just leave them and ya'll go celebrate your anniversary! It makes me feel so good to know that they love us and our kids enough to do that at the spur of the moment. Grammy's neighbor got Mandy a baby doll bed (in the picture) and they rented Surf's Up for Kyler to watch (apparently Not good). We were off to celebrate so...
Thank you Grammy and Poppy! Congratulations Daddy (Paw Paw)!

Proud moment

When I found out I was having a daughter, I cried, I cried for two reasons...First, I didn't know I wanted one until they told me I was getting her and two what the hell was I going to do with a girl? I know little of "girly" things and wouldn't know what to do with her hair! Well, I have learned A LOT on both accounts with Mandy and here is my proud hair moment...Thank God for blessing me with her in my life.

Enjoying the weather...

Lately it has been so pretty outside that we aren't inside much in the evenings. I love that about this time of year. All the neighbors are out and playing and visiting. We are watching the neighbor's daughter wed, thur, fri of this week and this is what they did pretty much every afternoon...front or backyard didn't matter as long as they were outside they were happy!

May's Dance Performances

Mandy's dance schedule is in...
She has her Cinco de Mayo performance Friday, May 2nd and dancers have to be there by 6:10pm. I believe the event starts around 6:30pm. Call if you want directions because you can make it. Her second and (hopefully) final spring performance is Saturday, May 10 and dancers arrive at 8:15 AM! Yes in the morning....YUCK! If you are available let me know and I will give you directions for that one too. However, that one will most likely overlap with Kyler's 10 am t-ball game that day.........yes, same day. I am hoping to video both so we get to see both.

Whatever will I do?

Mandy is off to a girls slumber party next door, Kyle and Kyler are off to go fishing...time to myself??? What's that?

Thank you Nana and Buddy!

Kyler got his first present for his fast approaching 4th birthday today from Nana and Buddy. He was so excited to get it in the mail and then to pull all the stuff out was just too much fun. Thanks Nana and Buddy!

Last minute sleepover...

Austin and Alex stayed with Kyler last night and they played hard. Kyler just loves being able to "work us" for a slumber party at the last minute. It is kind of cute to listen to them plot for it. As long as Kyle and I aren't working the next morning we enjoy having them here and are not likely to say no. Everyone woke up in a good mood and played until it was time to get ready for t-ball.

No pictures for this one!

Okay, everyone should get a good laugh over this. Mandy had to go potty tonight and FELL ASLEEP on the potty! Yep, she played so hard this weekend that she fell asleep on the potty. Now I believe I have seen a toddler fall asleep anywhere.

The end of a great time...

 
 
 
Aunt Lisa came to pick Sydney up this afternoon and I am SURE she fell asleep on the way home! They had so much fun. We got up watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse...ate breakfast...played...went to Walmart...played in the backyard and then she had to explain to Mandy why she had to go home. She thought Sydney should stay, didn't quite understand that sleepovers have to end sometime.
