lawn seats

 There’s just something refreshing about walking outside of the house, away from the TV, away from the laundry, away from dirty dishes, and spending some time outdoors on the cold lawn grass.  We’ve spent many a hours outside over the last few days and it’s been just the stay-cation we all needed! Along with God’s handywork [...]

Halloween ‘09

Saturday night we had the chimenea blazing, smores a smokin’, chili brewing, drinks chillin’, red dirt music blaring, children full of anticipation (and sugar), a cool autumn night, and the warm company of friends… absolutely perfect!

Ben 10, Momma the cowgirl (My spellcheck keeps flagging “cowgirl”, with the suggestion of “showgirl” HA!), and the rodeo clown!

hallow-eve

 There’s been lots of  chocolate chip pumpkin muffin baking going on around here lately. We’ve got another batch in the oven as we speak for tomorrow’s Halloween festivities. 
This recipe is from my dear friend Erin who is, apparently, quite the foody now. She drove to 50 Penn in OKC, stood in a ginormous line (of which she [...]

still

As autumn has breezed in, we’ve been jumping back into our activities and routines and I’m beginning to realize the lazy days of summer, including the free time it afforded, have swiftly moved on. 

But who couldn’t be tickled about all the holidays approaching and the [...]

life happens

OK, so I said I’d be back weeks ago, but life happened again.  There’s been quite a few Green & Black dark chocolate bars consumed around here, that’s all I’ll say!
I’d love to bring you fabulous pictures from our trip and “here lately’s” but I spilled some merlot all over my keyboard a few days [...]

hiatus, over

Our hiatus from school, Texas, chores, and usual life….is over. I’m thankful to be jumping back into routine around here, but somehow that temporary pause button was just what we all needed.

hallelujah

Well friends, I’m happy to report to you that our dear Pax is one platelet making machine! We met with a sharp pair of MD’s today at Texas Children’s and had some more blood work done! Paxon’s platelet count was at 190,000 compared to the 27,000 when we were diagnosed with the ITP! This is [...]

bowlin’ with the homies

Saturday was Paxon’s 5th birthday party at the local bowling joint!  We debated back and forth over the last week whether we should cancel it, because of the chance he could slip and fall, but we opted to carry on! He had been looking forward to it for months and we had to cancel his party last year [...]
