Jack and I bought a kite. Before Jack’s nap he said, “Maybe when Daddy gets home we can fly our kite.”
So…
We waited for Daddy to come home!
It took a few tries, but Daddy got that kite to fly…
One of our sweet neighbors came to check out what we were doing…
Jack found a patch of bluebonnets, and I snapped a picture of him!
I couldn’t help myself. I had to put this picture up…

Slender beautiful glass EVOO dasher!
I am sorry to replace you, but when I’m so tired at night and don’t feel like putting you back in the cabinet you expose my laziness….
Beautiful EVOO dasher, if I leave you out you look like you were meant to be there…how nice for 3 dollars at Marshall’s!
I can not get enough of the outdoors lately! I love how comfortable the weather is…its not chilly or hot.
As soon as Jack wakes up from nap…we hit the backyard…or front. For some reason Jack really likes playing in the front yard.
Some of the neighbors were over playing with Jack…and Madeline was right there with them! Let me tell you friends…this little girl is TOUGH.
And if you haven’t had any DONETTES in awhile…go buy some! I let Jack pick something out at the grocery store the other day, and he wanted the little delicious bag full of white powdered Donettes that I think about all day long because I they are sooo good….
Madeline is getting so big! I’ll be honest…the thoughts of a third are starting to creep into my mind! I want to wait a little longer though : )
Madeline will be 1 yr. old April 12th! She is cruising around the furniture, so she should be walking soon. She is the best eater in the world, and she is sleeping like a charm. We did confirm with allergy testing that she is allergic to cow’s milk. Bummer! Madeline is a handful. She has the funniest personality. She is very high maintenance to say the least! She LOVES her Daddy…she’s always flirting with him. Her and Jack are starting to play better together, which is so helpful. She loves getting dirty and playing right along side of him : ) I love to hear him say, “no no Mady don’t do that…or no no Mady be careful!”
So here she is…at 11 1/2 months!
When I uploaded the picture below I immediately thought of the one of Jack that looks just like it! He was the same age, and they are both making their “goober” face.
Here are a few more of Jack in the same spot at the same age!
If you guys remember…my new year’s resolution was “less is more.” I’ve begun my journey, and let me tell you…my life is becoming more and more wonderful as I have LESS in it :)
As I make changes (big and small) I’m gonna keep you updated. Here’s one of my most delightful changes yet.
Here is my pantry when BEFORE when I was losing my mind….
And here it is now….AFTER I found my mind.
Let me start by telling you that I breathe so much better now when I open my pantry…seriously. My life is more peaceful. I knew I wanted to make this change, but every time I went to Walmart to buy storage things I would stand in the aisle….panicking because I didn’t know how many plastic things I needed or how many glass jars or baskets….and I’d end up walking away defeated. One day I just decided not to try and figure out exactly what I needed and just buy stuff. I figured I could always go back and buy more or return what I didn’t use…and this would be a gradual improvement. It didn’t have to be perfect in my first shot.
You should have seen my recycle bin….
I LOVE MY PANTRY. Sometimes I just stand in it and smile.
This is not a waste of money…it ends up paying for itself because all my cereal, crackers, etc. last so much longer! NO MORE STALENESS. It’s awesome. I still plan on making a few more improvements…like labeling and buying a few more baskets.
Until then though…
I’m loving what I have
in all aspects of my life.
Jack went fishing with his Pop Pop and Pop Pop Mike recently. They had a ball! Brad’s parents have some friends who live in the Woodlands. While we were in Houston, we went and spent the weekend at their house. We had so much fun!
While we were in Houston my Mom visited my uncle in Lake Conroe. All my aunts were there and so were some cousins. We had so much fun visiting with everyone. While we were there we tried to take some family pictures.
Here is my Mom with her sisters…I probably didn’t need to mention they are sisters.
I know.
A kiss…aww how sweet!
Oh wait…nope never mind…I’m just gonna pick at your head right here…stay still.
That’s better!
