First Day of School

It's the first day of school for most people in Texas. My nieces started todau; one Kindergarten and two started 2nd Grade. I have one niece that is going to be home schooled but did start part of her program on Friday!

I can't believe how fast my babies are growing up! Emery just turned 8 last week!! She and Jossie will be teenagers before I know it!

I know it is inevitable that Ella will start school, but I don't want to think about her leaving me for the day! I can't even bring myself to let her stay the night with any of her grandparents!

But I do know that when the time does come, she will be great! She will make lots of friends on her first day!

I love all my babies and I hope for the best school year for each and every one of them!!!

Zoo

The Fort Worth Zoo has had another baby elephant born this summer! Prior to Baby Belle there hasn't been a baby elephant born since the mid 90's!!

The bigger baby is Belle and the new baby is Bowie! They are so cute!!

Mommy Probs

Love it when we visit Dan's mom. She loves that little girl so much. But E doesn't sleep after visiting! Not sure why. Marilyn doesn't over stimulate her. Doesn't really give her sugars. They just play and eat tomatoes!

We got home late tonight and E fell asleep about 5 mins from home (typical) tonight she woke up at 1:30 am and I rocked my sweet baby and rubbed her back until she fell back to sleep. She hasn't fallen asleep on my chest since she was a wee little baby!

I loved every bit of it!!

I stood in her room for about 15 mins after I put her back in her crib and watched her sleep! Such a sweet little thing!

I found myself at awe that I get to be HER mommy!!

Aquatic Babies

It's that time of year when my aquatic kids start leaving for their respective schools. This year's especially hard since I didn't get to see much of them. I don't miss working for the last place but I do miss my kids!

I have slowly lost contact with my GV babies, but I still have contact with quite a few of my A-Town kids. Never had any in Trophy Club. And there is a handful of them from Sags. I love those kids and miss them!

Silly Face

Ella has a new face!! It cracks me up every time!!

Texas Rangers

We were invited to go watch the Rangers in my BIL company's suite. We had so much fun! Ella loved seeing her cousins. And she even "watched" the game. She would sit in the seat with the big girls. It was so cute!!!

Babies

I have a friend (well, a friend of Dan's family) she had a son a few months after I had Ella. Well every time I see a picture of him, I just thank the Good Lord for Ella. He is just not a cute kid. He looks like he has a beak! I know it is mean.

I know not all families can have beautiful children like my family does!! Have you seen all of my nieces and nephews? Both sides have beautiful kids!

Balks with Ella

Her newest thing to do is to go on walks. She calls them balks! We have walked the last two days and she has walked our little mutt, Bubba (Turd)

Tonight on our walk we encountered a turtle! Bubba was so scared of it!

Blessed

I am blessed with the BEST family anyone could ask for! They always show me love and support even when I don't think I deserve it.

Avon

I became an Avon Rep about a month ago. I know you get out what you put in, but I'm really enjoying it! It's not my Grandma's make up any more!!

Awesome Daddy

Yesterday Ella found some hats and dress up stuff I have stored away until she became interested in them. She dragged each piece out into the Living Room. She tried on every thing and tried them on Dan! He was such a good sport about it!! I can't wait for the day that she wants to put make up on him!!!!

Thank you, Sweetie for loving our daughter enough to look like a fool!! She will love forever for stuff like this!!

One Year

It's been a year since I have worked for a paycheck! I love being a SAHM but I do miss having my own money.

I have made the decision to go back to work and now I'm having a hard time getting back into the field that I love. I did have the opportunity to go back part time, but I turned it down. It didn't pay enough for what they were asking that position to do. And it was only seasonal.

When I do go back, I'm going to miss my sweet little girl and the time we spend together.
