A Cure for My Phobia...sort of

I have blogged before that I hate chalk, not just hate it, but it freaks me out running away the opposite direction. However, when I was at walmart I found these "washable sidewalk crayons" I tried them and I was able to draw a full picture with them!! I know it is weird but I am making progress to normalcy...well if adults drawing with chalk is normal:-)

Houston Pics

Here are our pictures from Houston! We had such a great relaxing time and it was awesome to get to go with Summer and Lyric!! These trips mean so much to me!

Isabelle waiting on the bucket to tip...not the best place...

This slide was amazing and at one point we all went down together, Isabelle loved it!!!

The last day there Christy had planned for Summer and I to go get a facial while she kept all the kids, it was the best gift ever!!! We were soooo relaxed after this!

We had to track down an In-N-Out while we were there in texas because they just opened there!!

Waiting patiently (by force because there were like 100 cars in front of us) to eat my burger!!!

Houston Trip #4

I am sitting here tonight and it is my last night in Houston visiting my sister. This is my fourth summer to come in a row, starting when Isabelle was only 8 weeks old, and the girls and I have made the trip every summer. This has been a great week and I feel refreshed!! This trip is always special to me because it has let me get to know my sister more and to actually just get to sit and talk with her (well after my kids are finally asleep:) As my head finally hit the pillow last night, I laid there thanking God of how blessed I am to have a sister who has journeyed before me and will help me along as I am learning and growing!! Christy I know that these trips will not always be possible but I am so thankful that we have had the last four summers together!! Thinking back it reminds me of where I was four years ago and what my struggles were then and to look back and see the progress is always encouraging. I like being around Christy because the way she is, is hope for my future that I can grow into that! Thanks for this week and the one's before, may we always take time to know each other more...

Moms and daughters....

How many shots to get a good picture of a mom and her daughters??

I guess somethings never change....

Happy Birthday Jess:-)

I surprised my best friend Jess for her birthday and it was AWESOME!!! I imagined this fun night in my mind for her and it actually all came off without a hitch. We all laugh and enjoyed a night of celebrating Jessica's existence!!!

The restaurant was amazing it was on this rooftop in midtown, and it overlooked all of downtown, and to top it all off the weather was perfect!! Jessica at one point said "this is surreal i feel like I am in a movie being up here!

These pics are for Landon!!
