Kodak Moment

These are some snapshots I took of Sarah & Jason today! They were just so cute and giving each other hugs instead of exchanging punches for once, so I was thrilled! I said "Oh, how cute you guys are!" and Sarah said..."Mommy, take our piture."! It is so funny. She has realized when a "kodak" moment is! That's my girl!

They are so sweet sometimes! haha

Sarah's Birthday Party!

We had Sarah's little birthday party this weekend. She had a lot of fun. It was Mickey Mouse. She LOVES Mickey! Here are some photos from her little party!

Sarah Kate is THREE!

Well, today at 12:56 p.m., Sarah turned three years old. Of course, I cried thinking back to 3 years ago and how even right now as I type this at 3:37, I still had not gotten to hold her for more than 5 minutes. I still didn't know that she had congenital heart disease or what we would be going through over the next several years. I am so thankful that God has given her to us to take care of. She is such a blessing and the light of our lives. Seeing her interact with Jason and how he loves his baby sister justs makes me tear up! She is celebrating her birthday in a big way! She thinks everyday is her birthday, anyway, so this is great for her!

Fall is Here!!!!!!!!!! Hooray, Horray!

Fall is Here!!!!!!!!!! Hooray, Horray!

Well, this week has been GREAT! Great weather here! Our daily highs have been low eighties by the afternoon and somedays it didn't even get that high. Monday morning, we walked outside to take Jason to school and he said "MOM! You're favorite SEASSSSSOOOOONNNNN is here!" He knows fall is my absolute favorite time of year. The air is crisper, not to mention the leaves. Shades of burnt orange and yellow seem to be everywhere. The time of year when you can go to the park in the middle of the day and not even break a sweat pushing the kids on the swing. The time of year when I start getting ready to cook chili! We wait all year for chili and cornbread! I make great chili......not bragging, just the facts. :) I love opening all of the windows in the morning and letting the air filter through the house.

Today, Sarah & I put out our fall decorations while Jason was at school. Last year, she was scared of jack-o-lanterns. We have a really cute one with fiber optic lights and he's a scarecrow lantern. He is her best friend this year! She kept wanting to go out to the front porch to tell him hi. When we would leave the house today for anything, she would go and tell him where we were going and that "we be right back, okay?" He never answered her. (Good thing, I suppose OR I may have been scared of him, too! haha) I still can't believe she'll be THREE years old next week! WOA! Where does the time go? Most of you know how I LOVE birthdays! I love to make a big deal of birthdays for the kids. (and me and Todd, too! haha)

Jason came home with math and spelling and reading as usual. He loves to sit on the patio and do his homework outside. I recently got him a little desk and chair so he can sit out there, enjoy nature, concentrate without Sarah climbing his back and do his homework in peace. He is still in love with his new school! It's so great. It's like a private school but it's not. There are only 16 kids in his class and there are only TWO third grade classes! Tomorrow is Student Council elections. He came home excited today because he said that 6 people are voting for him! I have explained to him that if he doesn't make it, he shouldn't be upset. This is only his first year to try. He said he'll be fine. They also start clubs this year. He is joining the drum club.

Todd's job is going fine. He likes it and is learning fast. We love where we live and the kids are doing so great! I love staying home with them. It's been a real blessing to be able to do that. We have time to bake, play, read, color, whatever.

I'd say right now........in this first week of what feels like fall.....life is good. Actually, I'd say great! Life is GREAT!

God bless you all!

Lichtenstein Revisited...

Roy Lichtenstein is becoming one of my favorite pop artists. Just look at my kids "Lichtensteined". This is too funny! And wierd. I know.

But, hey......I have to use my imagination sometimes! haha

Sarah's in touch with her "Artistic" Side... & Jason runs for STUDENT COUNCIL!

Okay, I always knew Sarah was a piece of art! Check out what I did with her photo! Funny resemblance, don't you think?





Well, today, Jason went to school sporting his "Vote for Jason for Student Council" Poster. His class theme is "Mighty Minds" and they love "M&M's". The school's "mascot" is the Perrin Jets. It's all in his poster! He loved coloring and making this poster. He was so proud of it this morning! He even has to do a speech! He wrote it and put it in his pocket so he can study it to memorize it later! Future President of the United States? (Let's hope not! haha) That would be what I would classify as a "HIGH stress" job.

As a result of Jason & I using markers to color his poster, one got loose somewhere and guess who found it...........yep........you got it. The two year old art prodigy. SHE LOVES TO COLOR with markers. (As you can also see in the photos.) This morning, I had shown the kids photos from the art museum I went to yesterday and well, I guess she got inspired to make herself into an exhibit. Do you see a resemblance in her and this sculpture? haha

Hope you all have a great day!

Nasher Sculpture Center

I went to Dallas this morning and met my friend, Ben for brunch and a downtown tour! It was so much fun. I love museums and this one was really cool. I especially love the outdoors ones. It was a great morning. We went to Breadwinners for brunch. DELICIOUS and fun!

Here are some pics of my favorite pieces.
