Rain Puddles Galore...

The weekends are my favorite. 
But this weekend everything was dark, dank and dreary.
We stayed cooped up all day Saturday, so on Sunday it was time to get out and play. 
Even if that meant there would be a few rain clouds above our heads.

It wasn't fair Amy was able to jump this high. I mean really! It looks so believable!



 My child.
That's all I have to say about this picture. 






There was also a tea party thrown in there somewhere along the way.
It was days like these that make me remember how fun hanging just around the house is.
I always plan for activities, but sometimes it's better to just have fun playing. 

Check out the rest of the album here:

12th Man Towel Skirt

 What do you think?



What you will need: 
Towel of choice. ($1.00 at a tent sale)

Black and black and white polka dotted squares from Wal Mart. 
I bought two for $1.00 ea.  
The squares combined together without trimming them, and sewing them together fit my 6 year old who is just about to be 7. 
Elastic band- $2.00



Finished product:

Total spent on project (minus thread which I already had...) was $5.00.   

We had a happy visitor!!!

Brazos County Fair...Year One.


There were literally so many great pictures I just couldn't help myself.  
More are here: 


Petting Zoo Fun:




 They flew down the slide so easily, I thought I could do it too.


 That's me in the middle with Blakey in my lap...
I almost couldn't control the laughter and I think the more you weigh, the higher you fly!!!


Poor Jacee-Kay's face...lol



We finally made it down the slide too.... 



NOT TALL ENOUGH: 

Haha...I love the hair pull...
What are you suppose to do when our kids start fighting, on a ride, that's already going?
Hope they don't hurt themselves, I suppose. 









Jacee-Kay and I have a picture just like this....I'm so glad Blakey and I got one too!


Shake Your Tiger Cheer Camp!

Yes, a cheer camp for Little Miss Jacer!  
She did the cheer camp last weekend with a sweet friend of hers, and as a treat the girls got to perform with the High School Cheerleaders before the High School Football Game.
Talk about a child on cloud nine.
Seriously!
We were so excited.
And
A Little Nervous too.
She is so funny about how nervous she gets before hand and then shines like a star when she's in front of people.  It's as if you can't even tell how nervous she really is.  I've never seen someone more engaging to watch while they perform anything they do. 
She really gets into it and it's truly infectious and makes others smile along too!
That's one of a million reasons why I love being Jacee-Kay's mom...

Getting Ready for the Game!


 Pre Game with sweet Cailyn:

Starting the cheers!



Lil' Sis:

 The cheer went: 
Jump, Jump, Shake your Tiger. 
Jump, Jump, Shake your Tiger...

We heard this All. Weekend. Long.
