Here is a furry friend that we found on our tent! He really looked snuggly enough to keep as a pet! But, we looked him up in a nature book and found him to be poisonous! Really?? I guess looks really can be deceiving!

We went camping with a group of friends to Benbrook Lake. We had a blast exploring!

Funnel Clouds

2008-07-22T09:57:00.004-05:00

On Saturday, I was baking cookies and making pasta for a barbecue when the storm sirens went off. So, we hustled Logan, Claire, Kadence, Jaiden, the dog, and the cat into the basement. My mom and dad and I stood out on the front porch and watched numerous funnel clouds come out of the sky. It was a beautiful, yet terrifying site. The sirens sounded numerous times for the next 2 hours, and then the sun came out for our barbecue! Thankfully, none of the funnel clouds made it to the ground!

Friday July 4th at 4pm Logan, Kadence, Jaiden, Maizy and I left for MN. From about 9pm until 12am we watched the most beautiful fireworks as we were driving. It was amazing! We arrived at my parent's house Saturday morning at 8am just in time for coffee. They didn't know we were coming, so it was fun being able to surprise them. We actually didn't know we were coming until Friday at 2pm. I will try to blog as much as possible.

TX is hot! We decided we definately need more shade. Jed built what we refer to as the 'Cedar Thingy'. He built this from his mind and drawings that he created. It turned out great! We are loving it! Thanks Jed!

What a day of fun! My friend Melissa came over with her daughters Mady and Nikki, and twin boys Luke and Ezra, and friend Heather. Mady called me when they were on the way over and said, "Jenny, can we make cookies today?" "Of course, Mady!" We had a great day...baking and then off to the pool!

Blogging

2008-06-22T11:15:00.002-05:00

I have come to the realization that blogging is hard work. I take tons of pictures, but have a really hard time finding time to upload them and blog about them. My hat goes off to all of you out there with beautiful, eloquent blogs. I will keep trying, though.

A Day In Our World

2008-06-06T16:39:00.000-05:00

We woke up with nothing to do...and then our day just happened. The boys made a race track on our garage floor to race their cars. The girls decided to make race flags out of my old shirt. That way they could cheer on their favorite cars!

Kadence loves cats! She even has a cat that you put in the microwave and it heats up!

Painting

2007-12-02T07:20:00.000-06:00

I painted all day yesterday! The girls' room and bathroom are now pretty...well sort of. I am not sure if I like the colors or not. Oh well, now I can start painting the mural!! I am excited, yet very nervous...I've never painted a mural before. First time for everything!!

A Busy Day

2007-11-29T18:23:00.000-06:00

The holidays are coming so fast!! This will be our first Christmas in TX. It was sunny and in the 60's today. We worked on making several holiday crafts and gifts...tapes of the girls singing, countdown to Christmas paper chain, ribbon headbands, glitter-letter words to hang, ribbon pet collars, etc...Then we went outside to play with the neighbors for a bit. After that we went rollerblading on the trails thru our neighborhood. I was excited to see that Kadence is doing so well! She can easily keep up with us on her blades! I still can't go down hill...I hate it. I hold Jaiden's stroller with the brake on!
