They are shiny and new now, but not for long! Rachey likes to play in the dirt and girls who play hard like her need some big girl boots!!!  No more washing off the tennis shoes, this girl gets to get dirty!!!

Picking out some Christmas clearance lights today at our favorite Walmart! 75% off!

Thanksgiving!

I gotta post my Thanksgiving pictures before I can post Christmas! haha!!!  We had a great time at Uncle T's in Corpus!  Thanks for hosting us, T!  And thanks for all the good food, Janie!  We loved it and enjoyed the very quiet drive home with sleeping kids!

Port of Corpus Christi

 I took quite a few scenery pictures because I haven't gotten out of Victoria much lately and it was so nice to see!

Padre Island!

I wish I knew what she was looking at!  A bobber maybe?

Thanksgiving present?  Yes, please!

Off they go!  Perks of living on the water!

Zane didn't nap, but he sure got sleepy and snuggly!

Orange Juice!

Grandma Janie braved the mosquitos to pick Zane a ton of satsuma oranges.  I believe it was the best crop she had ever grown!  They were delicious.  Easy to peel and so juicy.  It has been awhile since they have been picked and we still had a bunch, so I decided to make some orange juice with my little buddy!  What a fun time!  Zane helped squeeze and ate some of the squeezed oranges, peel included!  We strained most of the pulp out and then, the taste test.  It passed with flying colors and was definitely the best orange juice I've ever drank.  Rachel even tried it.  It was her first juice ever and she drank every drop she could out of her cup.  Thanks Grandma Janie for picking those oranges and sharing them with us!

Juicing the oranges.

Wow, alot of juice!

The cutest little face.  Those cheeks need kissing!

More, more!

He needed a second cup!

Visit from Grandma Janie and Grandada

This is several weeks old, my apologies!  I do not want to give up the blog, but it seems that it has taken a back burner and is just simmering instead of being on fire.  Sorry, peeps!

Grandma Janie graced us with her presence a couple weeks ago while Jeff was out of town.  And Grandada got to come and spend the night one of those nights!  It could not get any better, except if Jeff were home too!

Reading one of her favorite books!

Playing money!

Eating persimmons!  Fruit of the gods!

Sweet Sweet snuggles

Happy Grandada!  So glad you came!

Books before bed!

Breakfast conversation with Zane!

My Birthday

I turned 35 last week.  And while I cried the night before, the actual day of turning that number wasn't so bad.  :)  Especially because I heard from wonderful friends, family and my wonderful close family was so nice and extra good to me!
Tuesday night we started celebrating with dinner out at Texas Roadhouse!  It was so good!  I had a filet, Jeff had ribs, Zane had a hotdog, and Rachey had bread and french fries!

There's my buddies!

Enjoying her cushy chair and getting sleepy!

Steak fries!

Attacking his hotdog!

Looking good, Jeff!

Wednesday, Jeff made us all pancakes for breakfast, we opened presents at noon, and we had dominoes pizza for supper!!!  What a wonderful day!!!

She thoroughly enjoyed her oreos at lunch.
