Believe in the sun, even when it's not shining

In love, even when you're alone

In God, even when He is silent.

Crazy days...

Glad we're leaving on the 29th for vacation...I need a break! These last few weeks have been bonkers with crazy schedules and tons of things to do...

Bandit is growing like a weed and, not unlike the rest of the members of this family, does what he wants, when he wants...he is listening-challenged for sure :/


Trashy had the cancer removed from his eye and looks so much better than he did in the 4/6 post...


He's even jumping like an ol' pro! Look at those legs tucked under!



The weekend after Gracie's party was her best friend's party. She had a pool party and their pool is a lot fancier than ours...Gracie didn't know what to do first!



Gracie holding Miss A down the slide...



Miss E & Gracie playing piggyback...



Lots of wet kids having a ball = lots of Mommys keeping a watchful eye!



Pinata fun! Gracie scored me some bubblegum! :)



Water blasters = Mommy moving further away :)



Gracie has always loved swings and slides!



Mother's Day 2011 - spent in Orange with Marmie and then dinner with Grandma...



I should have saved this one for Hawaii...y'all would have never known the difference! This is just down the road over the HEB parking lot!



This week, Gracie is the "Star of the Week" in her class...she got to bring the class mascot, Mortimer, home for the weekend and we had to journal about all of their adventures together. It was fun - he went everywhere! He had dinner at Outback Steakhouse...



slept with Sleeping Beauty...



got flattened during a quick nap in the car...



had pizza and played games at Chuck E. Cheese...



got a horse-riding lesson...



had brunch at Cracker Barrell after the lesson...he was starving! That's a lot of work!



Played checkers in Cracker Barrell's famed rocking chairs...



...and finally dress -up before he & Gracie had to get to their homework before going back to school the next day...



We tried to get him in the pool afterwards, but he didn't have another change of clothes ;) I didn't blame him...that water is still a little too chilly for Mommy, too!



To close the weekend, we met most of Gracie's other classmates in the park to add everyone's fingerprints to a table that one of the class mom's painted as an end of the year gift from all of us...super cute! I think their teacher is going to LOVE it!



It's still awfully dry here...watering almost daily to keep things alive, while simultaneously praying for the other Southern states and all of their flooding concerns...


Looking forward to no schedules, no homework, sleeping late, vacation, and hanging with my girl before she has to go be a big 2nd grader! But, before that, we have to get through the rest of this week's last exams, Field day on Monday, a field trip on Wednesday and the End of the Year party and Awards Night on Thursday...see...crazy days!!!
