Worldfest & Circus

It's been another action packed weekend for us. I was blessed to have my sister-in-law help me with the kids this morning by taking them to the Worldfest event that was held at Wolf Pen Amplitheater while I attended a half day seminar with IAAP. After I was released from my meeting I met them for lunch and was able to take a few snap shots of the kids and I.

Hummm......yes, I got a haircut, it is a lot shorter. I needed to cut off all the dead ends and start all over. Not sure if I like the short cut or not?!?!?!?!?!?!

There is Mr. Jase, about tired of all of this picture business.....does it sound like someone else you might know? What's the ole saying, the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.
The kids love their Aunt Teresa. She does so much for them! I'm so fortunate to have her so close by!

The Worldfest was pretty awesome. There was a lot to see, everything was free except the food and drinks. The kids were able to make a few craft items and got their face painted.

Pose with your fan!

The trio........

Cassandra is trying to pose and be a little model. Isn't she just a hoot. I love her so much!

Jase is my little turkey! But I love him so much too. He is so funny!

Boy, get down from there!

Now, at mid day, I took over and let Teresa go home and I took the kids to the circus at Lake Bryan. It was pretty good, but Cassandra was disappointed there wasn't any tigers. I thought for the price, it was actually a pretty good deal.

Here is Cassandra and Rylee riding together.

And Mr. Jase had to ride with another little boy. But you can still tell who the little turkey is. Hold on Jase!

Dentist Visit

Yes, they were a little too happy to go to the dentist today. Even the front desk receptionist made a comment that they should do an advertisement for their dentist about how much fun it was to go to the dentist.

My pearly whites!
See no cavaties!
Weee......going to the dentist is so much fun!


Tada.......we got a good report from the dentist today.
Today was all cameod out dress up day at school today....so Cassandra is wearing Mommies t-shirt with quite a few modifications.

Bonham Fall Festival

Oh my....I have officially learned what being involved with the PTO means....WORK!!! We did have a lot of helpers, so it wasn't too bad. But I was exhausted after it was over!
OH Spidey

Say Cheese.....
We've got too many things to go and do, we don't have time to pose for a picture...ugh..
Cassandra has learned to strike a pose when ever I say "let me take your picture". I'm 100% positive she learned this from Sissy.......Holley

Pumpkin Diving

Now we can add another first to our list of things that we have done together. We went pumpkin diving at Blue Lagoon. We didn't find any pumpkins but it was a lot of fun.
Just about to see how cold the water really is. Awe.....actually it wasn't that bad at all.

Not much going on!

I know I'm slipping.....no pictures in a while. I even forgot to take my camera to Holley's 8th Birthday party last weekend at the park. I'm ashamed to even say that, but it's okay, Mema was there with her camera at hand. Hummmm....well, the first picture below is of Cassandra holding some chop sticks that we got when we took Holley out to eat and to the movies for her Birthday. Of course, this picture was taken some time during the week, when I was in the mood to take pictures once again. Don't ask me why I've been slipping on taking pictures....it just sometimes happens! Ha

We have had a pretty laid back weekend this weekend and WE ARE LOVING IT! Yesterday, Jase wanted to build a space ship, so, here you go....

Sis is helping him push his wagon so that it will turn over.

They are taking it to Mema's house.

Proud space ship owner!

He is so proud of his space ship. I sure was wishing his Daddy was home to do this, because it certaintly looks like something from outer space. But we had fun pretending to know what we were doing. Jase also, promised to make Better Butter Batter Peanut Butter cookies for his Cubby friends on Wednesday night, so today, we made cookies together after church. Whew, he kept his promise!

Now the kiddo's are next door playing with their best friends. I'm trying to send Daddy a few pictures so that when he wakes up, he'll have these to look at.

We are looking forward to you coming home! We miss you Uncle Cory and Daddy!

Bye we love you!!!!

We are missing Mema too. She went to Washington to attend her Mom's funeral. She passed away Thursday night, very unexpectadly. Sorry Mema she is gone, but she is in a much better place now

Outside Play

We find ourselves at home today. Saturday, Jase was really feeling pretty bad and was coughing with every breath. I ended up taking him to urgent care and we discovered he had a double ear infection to go along with his bad cough. So, we started him on an antibiotic and we made it through the evening but Cassandra and I were really worried about him. I had called someone to teach my Sunday school class on Sunday, and Cassandra and I prayed really hard for Jase to get well soon. We didn't expect and instant recovery, but if you look at these pictures below you can tell that God heard our prayers! He is so much better today. He is coughing a little bit but nothing like he was on Saturday. To God be the glory in making this such a wonderful beautiful Sunday that kids and I can relax and be together as a family. We just needed a time out and a day for some serious R&R!

Possum grin like his Daddy!

Push me PLEASE!

Who said I was sick?

Two means trouble???

YEA..........brother feels better today and we can play all day!

Camping on our 11th Anniversary

What a great weekend, just the 4 of us! We went to New Braunfels and borrowed Aunt Missy's camper. Cory and Cassandra were a little sick, but we didn't let that slow us down.
I love the 10 second timer on my camera....I can get a picture of the four of us, without any help! Whoop! It's the little things that are important, you know!

Redo....Jase's knee is covering his face!

The kids love snuggling with their Daddy.

Doesn't take much to make Jase happy......as long as he has his pink milk in the morning, he is ready to go!

Hummmm.........Jase took this picture.....maybe one day he will become a photographer! Just a little crooked!

And this one of Mommy still in her PJ's.

And this one of his Sis!
More snuggling time with Daddy!

Then, this is where we ventured out into the COLD, COLD, COLD Comal River. At our camp site, there were stairs at the front part of the camp site and stairs towards the end of the camp site area......so, just a little ways down, but it was perfect for our big tubbing outing. I didn't even go in the first day because the water was just too cold for me!

Poor Jase, just didn't have enough body fat, he was freezing cold!

Momma.....I am so cold!!!

Me too!!!

Our favorite part.......cooking marshmallows over our $10 BBQ pit and eating them!

I think he would eat the whole bag if I would let him!

They would make a smore, but wouldn't eat them because they didn't like the chocolate. Oh well....more for me ;-)

I also took a lot of pictures at Schlitterbahn with a water camera. We were really proud of Cassandra and Jase for not being scared on the tube rides. We did the Raging River tube ride, and the White Water tube float, and a few others. But all in all, they were enjoying the thrill of it all and were not scared! And of course, when it was time to leave, they were not ready to go. They were enjoying all the slides and wanted to keep going, and going. True little fish!
