Last day of Elementary school :-/

Tomorrow, June 2nd will be bittersweet. It's the last day of school but it's also the last day she'll be in elementary school. She shed a few tears thinking about how much she's going to miss all of the staff at Foster. We made them some special gifts as a token of appreciation for all that they do. We will be sure to stop by and say hi every now and then. Foster was good to us and we sure will miss that school. 😢

Grab some tissues! Mrs. Brewer had a few of us crying while she was getting emotional speaking to the students.

Phoebe, Payton & Madison ~ Stay

RIP Simba

Simba's organs were failing and he was 16.5 years old. They made the decision to put him to sleep today. Angel has been taking care of him since the Philibert's sold their house in Madisonville. Simba was one of China's puppies. He will now be with his mom, his sister Nila and his dad Shadow. RIP Simba, we love you!

Best Husband Ever!

Phoebe slept over at Payton's last night. Me and Mikey were catching up on missed episodes of Archer. I fell asleep during the last one, I was exhausted. He woke me up to go get in bed and he had my fan turned on and the sheets pulled down so I could just climb in bed. It really is the little things that mean so much. 

Then today I was taking Phoebe and Payton with Chrissy and Kinsley to a Turners Syndrome get together in Cypress. He picked up the girls for me, picked up lunch, went to the grocery, put everything away, cleaned the kitchen, helped our neighbor dig a hole in his yard, washed my car, hung our new mirror and cooked dinner. Seriously, what did I do to deserve this man? It isn't just about what he does, he is a great husband and a fantastic father. I just want to give credit when credit is due. My hubby rocks! And he's easy on the eyes as an added bonus! 😘😍💋

The perfect Saturday! 4.8.17

Payton spent the night after Foster's Spring Carnival last night. Then I took the girls to meet up with Payton's family at Kingwood High for the Easter Egg hunt. The girls had a great time! 

After that we came home to pick up Dad and headed to Kings Harbor for the Harbor hunt! We went to meet up with the Arndt's. 

Then we went to have lunch at Skeeters and frozen yogurt at Orange Leaf. 

Such a beautiful day!! Phoebe is spending the night by Payton's tonight, they're going swimming and then she'll be joining them at church again tomorrow.  She went last weekend with them as well as Wednesday and she loved it! ❤️ 

She did a backflip!

The child has taught herself how to do a backflip! She did it on the trampoline, I told her to get comfortable doing it there before she proceeds to try it on land! :)

Phoebe back at Rowland! 1.26.17

Phoebe started gymnastics again today at Rowland. She's pretty excited! She loves her coach!! At the end of class he said to me "Phoebe has such a great personality! I've never had a kid say 'thank you' and have such good manners before. Made my heart smile. :)

She landed her front walkover!

Phoebe has been wanting to learn a forward walkover for a while now. She took a chance, actually several, and landed her first one today! She did it on the trampoline this past weekend but did it on the floor today. She's super excited!

She finally got that tooth out! 2 years later!

Bestest husband ever! 1.14.17

Just taking a moment to express my sincere appreciation for my husband. He knows that I am swamped at work with a huge deadline approaching. I stayed up until almost 2am working last night. He let me sleep in until 10:45!! Then he proceeded to clean the house, take the outside Christmas decorations down and put them up in the attic, washed, dried and put away clothes, made us a fabulous lunch and a pot of coffee! I don't know what I'd do without him! I love you Michael!!!!

Girl's Day Out!

Fun day with my girl before we return to school and work tomorrow. We had Hibachi for lunch, went to Macy's, Justice, Claire's, Party City and to order her cake. Weather was beautiful, we were just missing Mikey!


Hibachi!!

11 year old vaccinations

Before and after 4 vaccination shots. You'd never know that she was stressing big time over these shots! But she did it, so glad it is over! After each one she said "oh my God, was that really it?!" Lol

Phoebe and Bryson :-/

In September Phoebe and Bryson broke up. Not long after that she said that her new boyfriend is Daniel. This past Friday. 10/28, she said Daniel broke up with her because Evan likes her. I said ok, that's enough with boys! Take a break. We were fine with Bryson because they had been "dating" since 2nd grade, which means they would end up getting married, right?! But we aren't going to entertain all of this. She'll have the rest of her life to worry about boys. She should invest her time in friendships at this point in life. Anyhoo, she's fine, doesn't seem worried at all, one way or another. :)

Family photo shoot & Pumpkin Carving

We met up with Adriana and Ben at Centennial Gardens for Adriana to take our family pictures. Brook spent the night so she came with us and took some pics with Phoe. We also brought Jack and had him in several pics. It was hot but will be worth it I'm sure! After we left we grabbed Dickies BBQ then came home to eat, hang out for a while then got ready for Dawn and Lexi's pumpkin carving party. I took Phoebe and Brook to the church pumpkin patch to pick out their pumpkins. We made haystacks to take with us. It was a good time. On Sunday their Girl Scout troop had a Juliette Low birthday celebration at Foster. Phoebe rode with Brook and they dropped her off after. It turned out to be a nice weekend. :)

Girl's Day Out!

Me and Phoebe went to the Tea House then headed to get pedicures. Phoebe also got her nails done and they painted pretty flowers for her. :)
