Sweet Boy..

In the car today Walker asks me.. Mommy, do you love me ? I said of course I love you so much. He says Mommy I love you all the time and in every way. He melted my heart.. I hope he feels that way when he's 13. Love that boy..

Crazy Rain..

For those of you that don't live near Lone Star Ranch this may not look familiar. But this is what Fourth Army Rd looks like under water. I mean it was crazy to see how fast the water was going over the road. Thankfully they block this part of the road, when we have any significant rain . You may be asking yourself why we have so many of these pics. If my husband could he would be a storm chaser. He loves rain/ tornadoes/ snow.. You name it he wants to be out in it.

Baby Got Back..

So if you were a teen in the 90's you know this song and probably every word of it. It's one of those songs that when you hear it today you still know the words. So to my surprise Lauren comes home from school the other day. She say's " Mommy, I heard a new song today.. and she precedes to start singing.. " I like big butts and I cannot lie..". You know the rest I am sure. Thankfully she didn't know much more than that because now I know how totally inappropriate it is for a 9 yr old. Anyway I busted out laughing just at the shear fact that she thought it was new. Oh to be an innocent 9yr old. ( of course about a year ago she thought Ice Ice Baby was new). haha.. I am sure you are asking yourself how in the world did she hear this song at school. I asked that question and she said" Mom on the playground". I said" someone had their i-pod out there ( oh I think not)":. She looks at me like I was a complete moron and says, "No Mom this guys was singing it to me and my friends." Ok so even worse in my eyes but that is a whole other thing. Anyway, old is new again. Gotta love it..

Filter...

So my Facebook staus today said ..

You know that thing you have in your head that tells you not to say something WELL TODAY I DON'T HAVE ONE..

Apparently I dont have much of a filter. ( which I already knew) but it was rather funny to me to see some of the responses. Here are a few of them:

It's called a filter/ grid:) mine misfires daily and requires tech support! Good luck with yours.

As opposed to other days when you do?????

You say that like it's different from any other day...

Do i need to bail you out of jail?

I've got the Amex at the ready. I can bail you out from here. OR...even better, I can fly to Texas and kick some ass with you! I could go for that.

They made me laugh. I am not the type of person that keeps her mouth shut under pretty much any situation. I guess all of my friends know that is the case as well..

Lemonade/Koolaide Stand

Lauren, Haley Ruff and Lucy Munoz decided to do a lemonade stand. But it actually turned in to a koolaide/fruit snack stand. Mind you the fruit snacks came from the house and Lauren says she really doesn't need to pay us for the fruit snacks. Since she lives in the house and we should all share. HAHA !! They charged $.50 a glass and $.25 for fruit snacks. They somehow managed to make $17. I think most people that drove by and stopped wouldn't take change.
They were outside for 2 hours and only came in the house once. They had a fabulous time and want to do it again next weekend.

First Day of school...

Here is sit in my totally quiet house. Only thing I can hear is my dogs snoring. People will say to me that Walker was in school last year but this just seems so different. Seems so permanent, which it is just not ready for him or her for that matter to grow up. They had a great first morning. Lauren was excited that her brother is going to be at her school. She kept talking to him about what he should and should not do. She told him last night then when he goes to the bath room to PLEASE make sure he pulls his pants up before he comes out. HAHA ! I think that is so she wont get embarrassed. Even though at home he pulls his pants up she just needed to make clear that he knew.
Walker says he already is in love with Mrs Harris. He came down twice last night asking what her name was again. He keeps calling her Mrs DeVarris ( his pre-k teacher was Mrs Devore who he adored.)He will figure it out sooner then later I am sure. We are so blessed to have her as his teacher.
Lauren has Mrs Culp. I have heard nothing but fabulous things about her. She has a few kids from her class last year in with her. Also has her good friend Marin. Which she was super excited about. I cant believe that we have a 3rd grader. Where has the time gone ??
At this point Walker so over us taking pictures. He was ready to get in the building and get started.



Yes I know that Lauren's backpack is almost as big as she is but she had to have this messenger bag from Justice. She went only with her Daddy to pick it out. She was so happy with what she found.

I love this pic of Walker. It shows all of the excitement on his face. He's so ready. Lets see how he is come the end of the week and he's exhausted.
This is going to be a great year for both of the kids. We love them so much and so happy for them both.

Mixed Emotions..

I have to admit that I am so sad to see my sweet baby boy go to kindergarten tomorrow morning. He is ready and so excited.. its hard not to be excited for him. He told me at Meet the Teacher that I can go ahead and leave him. He even told his sister that she "needed to get out of his space". Ha.. it was extremely hard for her to stand back and not be the center of attention. I know that he will be awesome but hes the one that I worry about sometimes.

We totally forgot the camera on Friday so tomorrow we have to get lots of pics..
