Sorry for no updates recently with vacation, holiday and illnesses - we are struggling through. I will do a REAL post with pictures as soon as I have caught my breath.

A glimpse of what we've been up to:

• Round trip from Dallas to Austin for a funeral in one day
• Vacation from work includes: Dr. appointments, Eye appointments, play dates, sleepovers, movies, birthday pictures for Cash (a month late)
• Turkey Day!!
• After Turkey Day shopping (beginning at 430am)
• Sick, sick, sick
• Freezing cold rain = van stuck in mud & a roof leak
• More sickness

Where's A Camera When You Need One??

Sunday after church several families picked up lunch and headed to a nearby park. Jasmine went walking by the water w/ a couple of her friend's and their dad. Several of us were gathered at the picnic tables chatting when Jasmine and one of the other girl's walked up and Maddy said, 'Jasmine fell in the mud'. She went close to the water to see the ducks and slid down into the mud. Soooo, her pink slipper shoes and legs were covered in mud. Jasmine and I hike it to the park bathroom and try to wash her off in the tiny sink w/ no paper towels. LOTS of fun!

Future In Fashion

While Cash was napping Jasmine got crafty w/ the tape and some paper towels. She made these dresses for her Barbie's and was very proud of herself.

Love - Hate Relationship

I have a love-hate relationship with shoes. I love getting a new great pair of shoes, but I hate wearing them any longer than absolutely necessary. I love love love summertime when I get to wear sandals and can kick them off at my desk or in my car. I got these new super-cute boots over the weekend, which I wore yesterday. Even though it was warm enough yesterday (80's) to take them off in the car, it is not very convenient when I had three short stops to make on my way home to take the time to zip them on and off. By the time I got home, as much as I love them, I couldn't get them off fast enough......such a feeling of relief letting my tootsies breathe....

Trunk or Treat

Last night we went to Trunk or Treat at Gramma's church. It was so much fun for the kids. Daddy even dressed up as the Scream guy. When I got home I tried the costume on and when I walked out of our bedroom Jasmine looked up, dropped her chicken and took off running to her room. I felt so bad and started saying 'it's just mommy, it's just mommy'. She peeked out her bedroom door and said 'Whew, you scared me'. Poor thing, I thought they were still playing outside and just wanted to show Joe the costume.

Hayless Ride



Cash really got into the games

After the last car we got hot dogs and sat down to watch a cartoon before heading home
