Picture Tag

A game of picture tag...from AMY!
Go to your sixth file and post your sixth picture.......here is mine....

The kids on Christmas morning at Lady and Granddad's. The F.U.N we all have there!
**I tag all of you!!**

Cause and Effect.......

CAUSE:
All of these lovely desserts were served at our housewarming party a few weeks ago. The pink and brown cake was ooh la la delicious! Jonathan and I even ate the leftover pieces while watching the DVRed Biggest Loser. (is that sad or what?)



EFFECT:

I started round 2 of Boot Camp this morning at 5:15 (yeah...that's AM) in Waco (20 minutes away). It's only 5:00 pm here......is it bedtime yet??

A Little Backwards!

Instead of a pre-game meal.........
We have pre-meal games!
Gotta love it!

Everything Grant Needs To Know He Is Learning In Kindergarten

I Have Been Tagged!

You're going to get a little more of me in this post.

The rules of the tag are as follows:
1.Post the rules on your blog.
2.Write six random things about yourself.
3.Tag six people at the end of your post.
4. If you are tagged, JUST DO IT, and pass the tag along!

One.......I love how flowers look all over the house and even outside. The only problem is that I kill them. I water them, follow the directions on the little cards, and sometimes talk to them......but they still DIE! It's just not fair.

Two......I love sparkly things. Jewelry (but not too gaudy). Prisms that make rainbows. Whatever......I just like them!

Three.....Even after my sweet husband coached high school football for 10 years, I still don't understand all the rules of the game. My boys are now playing flag football and all the kids (even Jill) love to watch football........I just don't get it!

Four.......My family calls me the make-up queen. In college, I worked at Merle Norman. But even before that I loved makeup! I like to try different products. I do have my favorites though! Bare Minerals for foundation......Merle Norman for lipstick.....Clinique for mascara.......Arbonne for skincare (Dont yall wish I was Oprah so I could give you my favorites!)

Five.......Out of my 3 sisters, I am probably the one still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. My degree is in Political Science......I thought I wanted to be a lawyer. WRONG. I taught....loved it but hated the TAKS testing. Now I sell insurance......probably the most flexible job I've had and should be happy with it. (The joke is that I can only work 11-2 because I work out in the mornings at 8:30 in Waco and have to be done by two to get the kids from school AND that the 11-2 has to include a lunch break!)

SIX.......I am always cold. If its not at least 70-75 degrees....I better take a jacket. I leave one in the car for those cold restaurants, movie theaters, church.......wherever! My sweet babboo is the same way, poor kid!

Things You Find on the Side of the Road......

Meet the newest member of our family.......her name is Bonita.......not really because she is so cute (she is!), but because she is so boney!!

After going in to town yesterday, J and the kids saw this little kitten trying to cross a major street! The street is kind of in the country and this little kitty probably would not have made it!

We had to set her up on the shelf to eat.......our dog, Cocoa, was not wanting to let her eat!
Cocoa checking out the new member.....
Bonita taking over Cocoa's sleeping quarters.......
or trying to anyway!
They did resolve the sleeping arrangement. Bonita took the pillow that Cocoa is pulling in the above picture and Cocoa took the base part. Pretty funny!

Football........

Football has begun!

Here is Jonathan's team......the Buffaloes (like Colorado).......this team was chosen because of their black and vegas gold colors. (For those of you who dont know my sweet husband.....he went to Abilene High and their colors were black and vegas gold.....this is also the place where he was the stud quarterback in high school, or so he says.......he does have a box of medals to prove it to me---I just like teasing him)

After his varsity coaching career change, he now coaches Flag Football. They even have plays that they practice every week.

Here is Grant and one of the other kids witnessing the coin toss.......

Jonathan psyching up the boys.....
Thomas......number 7 just like his Daddy used to be.......this little runner scored a touchdown this morning after running all the way down the field!
Grant is on the team, too. He grabbed some flags this morning and made some great "blocks"!
This is what football players look like after eating a snow cone (at 10 am)-----you cant really tell.....but his lips are RED!
Go Buffaloes........we are proud of you!
