Round Two

So Monday afternoon I packed

back up and headed to Midland.

Tab and Jason were going to

head back to Arizona for more tests.

I stayed behind to keep the kiddos.

 

 

Kisses for Mommy!

 

We sent Mommy lots of

pictures!

Cody lost his tooth while

I was gone.

 

And KC sent me selfies

so I wouldn't forget what he

looked like.

It's hard work taking care of

a one year old and four year old

ALL DAY LONG

when you aren't used to doing

it any more!

 

When 7:00pm hit...

kids were in bed

and it was quiet time!

 

Landree wanted to take

pictures for mommy too.

My handsome honey!

I sure miss him!

Sure A LOT A LOT A LOT!

Bubs went to a play date!

Me and this sweet girl got to

get out and do some Christmas

shopping.  Does this sweet face

not make your heart melt!?!

She liked to snack while

she shopped.

 

And act silly.

 

Good Morning!

 

I got a text from my pups too!

I sure miss them.

 

Aunt Shell took the kiddos

for a few hours today.

I really didn't know what

to do.  So I went to Barnes and Noble.

I could spend hours in there

looking at all the books.

And I did.  More Christmas

shopping checked off my list.

I am so glad my boys love books

as much as I do.

Little Miss wouldn't take

her medicine for me.

Good thing big brother

was there to help!

Cody and Double Digits!

While I was in Midland

MY BABY TURNED 10!!!

 

Hooters and a movie

with the boys.

 

I'm sorry I missed it!

I know he had a great

time though!

My Birthday!

 

It's my birthday!

My snookem has to work :(

but I get to spend my day with

my boys.  We started out by

having coffee and watching

Rudolph.  Two of some of my

favorite things!

 

 

Then we played some

wizardology.

Another of our favorites.

 

And then we decided to cut

all my hydrangeas because it's

supposed to freeze this week.

They were still so gorgeous

and smelled so pretty!

 

We took a sushi break

for lunch.  My Snookem

wasn't here, but that didn't

stop me.

 

 

When I got out of the shower

the boys had a wine glass

full of Lemonade with purple

food coloring in it.  It was surrounded

by flower petals and they had

some candles lit.

The note said

"Happy Birthday!

You're our rising start."

 

Isn't that sweet!?!

I guess they get their

sweetness from their dad too.

 

We also did some baking.

Homemade banana bread!

And a Strawberry Cake!

Another favorite!

 

 

 

 

My Birthday Tradition!

Putting up our Christmas Tree!

Isn't it pretty!

 

I wish my Snookem would

have been home all day,

but it really was a great day!!!

Finally back to normal?

It is sooo nice to be back home!

 

Rylee has been learning some

chemistry stuff in school.

So it's been potions and

experiments all the time.

 

Science is his thing.

Math and Science.

He's a wiz!

Must have gotten that

from his daddy.

 

Game Night with some hot tea.

I came across this vintage recipe

box for my collection.

The bonus was it was full of

vintage recipes.

Lots of pies and casseroles!

It's cold today and Penny

thinks we should be in bed!

Not working!

I opened up some of the

Jalapenos I canned a couple

of months ago.

They are soooo good.

I LOVE THEM!

Hot - but oh so good!

 

I made stew and we bought

Maleficent to snuggle up

on the cold night.

One out of the mazillion

things Tab and I talked

about on our Arizona trip

was special things we

could do for our hubbies.

 

Since KC always sends me

selfies, Tab challenged

me to send KC a selfie

everyday this week.

It wasn't easy!

I missed Friday,

but I thought I did pretty good.

 

We also snuck away

for a little date lunch.

 

 

AND...

We caught the 75%

off sale at the Halloween store!

The boys love these suits!
