1. It’s not Tuesday, but I’m happy to be blogging. I’m working a ton of hours right now, busy season is in full force!! I’m trying so hard this year to blog all my wonderful clients. Last year a bunch never got blogged. I’m trying to do better this year 🙂

2. Taryn went back to school for the first time since August on Monday. She did amazingly well, we are so proud of her. Their class Halloween party was held yesterday. There are 13 kids in her class and only 4 girls including her. The costume party produced 3 princesses and one buzz lightyear in the girl corner. She makes me smile and I love that she is who she […]

Today we celebrated Jason’s 32nd birthday. After picking up Ty from school, we ran a few errands and were going to stop to pick up dinner. I called home to get everyone’s ‘order’. Jase gave me his, Taryn started yelling her order into the phone and then all of a sudden Teagan yells out “ketchup!!” “ketchup!!” “MOMMA KETCHUP!!!!!” Do you think this kid likes to dip stuff or what? Funny little guy…..

I am so in love with this face, this kid, this crazy little dude who will karate chop you out of nowhere and then love the bobo he inflicted with utter sincerity. I love the way he runs. And dances. […]

Imagination, check

Scissors, check

Glue sticks, check

Stapler, check

Then Taryn yells out “DON’T FORGET THE DUCK TAPE!!”

Awesome.

Fall has managed to find it’s way to Central Texas and our house. To this I say ‘Thank God’ and ‘Adios 110 temps!’

I love this time of year. So crisp, the smells, the fresh air, temps you can actually go outside in, pumpkin spice latte’s, fall crafts and projects. Our family embraces it in a big way….

our front door…..this is the kids new favorite spot, they gravitate here. Teagan loves to pat the scarecrow on the top of its head, rearrange the pumpkins, sit on the haystack and fiddle till his little heart […]

I had to run a few errands this morning and timed it just right for a trip to the park. We tried out a new one I spotted near one of my client’s home. Taryn & Teagan had a blast, I’m so glad I had my camera with me. A shot I never knew I wanted but am now so glad I have it. New fave!! I snapped it right after she said “Come see me little dude!”

Awwww, total mommy moment, but it melts my heart. My girl has come a long way.

Be sure to check back later today for the winner of the mini session!!!! I’m off to put […]

I know there are quite a few people waiting on this and I’m so excited to come share it. This event started last year, with 10 families who helped MC and I raise some money for Team in Training. This year, we went bigger, way bigger, and invited not 10, but 50 families (over 60 kids!!!) to the event to benefit MD Anderson hospital in the name of Jon Urban. 60 kids in 3 hours….that means 20 kids per hour and approximately only 3 minutes with each child!! How crazy is that?! Crazy and fun. Anyway, Jon and MC have faced a lot this year, tackling cancer head on (you […]
