Tucson Day 1

Lyndon & Aubrey playing 'Puppy'.Breakfast was at a 'Must Eat Here'....Dunkin Donuts!Carl & Memere went to get a hair cut for Carl while Grandmemere, Lyndon, & Aubrey played.Miss Autumn came to visit-such a cutie!Carl's new & cool hair!Aubrey playing 'Office'.  Everyone then headed over to Tante Lyn & Uncle Ken's to swim!After swimming we went to Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream.While swimming the boys each wanted a coke out of the antique coke machine.  The boys wanted to know if they could have all of the bottle tops out of the machine.  They brought them back to Grandmemere's and washed them to sell.I bought them for 1 cent each.  Not sure what I will do with them now, but they had fun making signs for them.

Are We There Yet?

Momma, Carl, & Aubrey picked Lyndon & I up at our house at about 8:30 on Sunday morning to head for Tucson.Aubrey wanted me to see her picture on her doodle.Silly kids!I always have little presents for our long trip to Tucson.  I get things to help amuse the kiddos in the car.  Momma bought several things as well.  The kids have opened an art box from Momma and stickers from me.Another gift from Momma.I wasn't able to grab things in WF because Lyndon was with me, but I did get to run into Dollar General alone and grabbed whatever I could find there.  It was a little hard to find things but I did find glow sticks.  I never dreamed the kids would love them as much as they did.  Glow sticks will be a must for our next trip!We finally arrived in Tucson at about 1 or 2 o'clock Texas time (can't remember the exact time).

How Hard Could it Be?

I had to make a diaper cake for a baby shower I would have to miss since we were going to Tucson.  I had never made one.  At first I thought there is no way I can do this, then after looking at pictures online I thought 'How Hard Could It Be?'..... & then as I started to build it panic struck!  I didn't have enough diapers, I forgot about a platter to put it on, I didn't have anything solid for the center, on and on.  After a trip to the Dollar General for more supplies Cody helped me construct the centerpiece.  It really wasn't as hard as I made it out to be.  Sometimes it just takes me a little bit to get started.Cody delivered the cake for me while we headed to visit my grandmother.

Breakfast in Bed

Mr. Lyndon decided that he needed his 1st Breakfast in Bed.  We had been snuggling in my bed and then I got up to get busy with chores, but he stayed snuggled up watching cartoons.  He wanted pancakes, but I quickly told him No way could he eat pancakes in my bed!  He then decided on oatmeal.He was trying to be a stinker and not let me take his picture.& trying to act serious!& then...I love this one.  I can hear his giggle when I look at this picture!

The End....

I don't know if I will ever get caught-up with blogging!  I can't believe our summer is flying by so quickly. Our summer began with wheat harvest, football camp, baseball, VBS, a laundry room reno, 3 weddings in 2 weeks, and a week visiting family in Tucson.  We are home and going full speed to complete the laundry room and all of my other to-dos before school starts.  I will also be teaching a different grade level this coming year and I have A LOT to learn, sort, and figure out, but I am very excited.
I posted 4 or 5 posts today and plan to get caught-up this week......... I hope!

The Lake x 3!

We have made 3 trips to the lake this summer.  We enjoy spending time together as a family on the lake, bring friends & family with us, and meeting up with friends.We are headed back out today.  Even though the sun is hiding, the wind is blowing, and the temperature is below 90... Hey it's Texas and 4th of July weekend.
