Our Very Own Pampers Ad

If this doesn't look like a Pampers Ad to you then you're crazy. I scored some amazing coupons and decided to use them today at Babies R Us and came home with what seemed like the entire aisle of diapers. Clara always gets a kick out of climbing on any box we bring into our house so she was in heaven today. She even pushed them together making a little obstacle course right in our living room.

Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July! so it's a little late but we have been trying to recover from our trip to Midland to visit Shelly and Joe. We had a wonderful weekend and too bad it is such a long drive or we would be there a lot more! It was so fun catching up with them and seeing their progress on their house - pretty much a total remodel - and it looks so good! I have been re inspired to tackle mine. Now if I could just find some money for our master bathroom - it is screaming for a sledgehammer.

It was really fascinating driving out to Midland, granted I haven't been there in literally 10 years after living there my entire childhood and I missed the wide flat land and being able to see for miles. I love the new windmill farms, Adam and I were mesmerized by the hundreds we saw - in some places they were as far as you could see. Thank goodness someone is taking the initiative to take advantage of the wind and bring us clean energy! We also went down memory lane, driving by my old schools, hangouts and my old house.

On Saturday night, several of us - Shelly, Joe, Carson, Tiffany, Sara, Joe, Adam and I - went to Summer Mummers. Kind of a follies production followed by short skits. The kind of deal where you cheer on the hero in the story and boo and throw popcorn at the villain and everyone around you. I had a couple bags of popcorn thrown on my head, one of which by a total stranger! No wonder our beers came with lids and straws! No joke, there was at least 4 inches of popcorn on the ground by the end. We laughed so hard my abs hurt the next day.

Thanks Shelly and Joe for the wonderful weekend! We will be back very soon!

Enjoy the pics!

Playing at the Park with Grandma and Grandpa

Girls Weekend

I joined some of my very best girlfriends for some much needed R & R this past weekend in Austin. We rented a small bed and breakfast and had the whole place to ourselves. It was so good to get away and catch up and float in the pool for hours on end. Enjoy the pics.

Clara's First Carousel Ride

Sweet Clara B

Check out this picture:

Clara gets super comfortable between the slats of her crib. This is a nightly occurance and thank goodness Adam has the ability to go in and move her without waking her up!

Clara at the park playing with bubbles. Unfortunately none of my other pictures came out and there are no bubbles in the picture! Trust me she had a blast!

Clara loving her blocks.

Me and my Ella

Clara and Ella have a very sweet relationship. I can't explain their connection but they absolutely love each other and I thought I would share a few videos from our Sunday Fun Day with you!
