Day at the Oil Ranch Part one

There was soo much to do at this place we could have stayed longer but nap time was calling for everyone. The conversation with the goat to the left went like this...."Hi goat. How are you goat?

I still play with make-up

Sarah's husband has been away on business. When the husbands away the girls play........with make-up? We had fun here is a glamor shot we took. Its not so much glamorous as it is funny but I must share. We had fun. It was very difficult to get us all in the shot and making a so called sexy come hither look with out laughing.

Single Mother of Two under Two.

Okay, so every once in a while I take out the violins and start whining about my husbands long hours. I had a really tough day and I was on the edge with toys, Dr appointments, filling prescriptions, diapers, toddler fits, green beans being hurled across the dining room and strained carrots on the wall (Jack sneezed). So I brought the kids outside. I put Jack in his walker and Michael hopped on his tricycle and I called Scott. I was seconds away from saying look Scott your the boss just tell your guys to handle it and come home. Before I could say anything Scott answered the phone out of breath saying" hey babe is everybody okay? I cant talk. I had 3 guys call in and I'm working a skeleton crew. I got a 3 hour wait and 13 cars in line." I thought to myself there is no place in the world he would rather be than here with us. He works harder than anyone I know. He is up before the sun and home hours after dark. He never complains and comes home so excited to be with his family. He is so positive and a great example to me. He makes our time count and I know he has to be exhausted. So here is a shout out. I love you and Thanks for all you do.

We Got a Bigger Bed!

Okay so we didn't get a bigger bed. We just moved fat jack to his. We let him cry it out. Scott and I cried it out on the couch waiting for him to give in. He did and we did a little happy dance in the middle of our living room. He is also eating solids sooo much better. A friend of mine suggested giving him more solids would free up some of my time and so far so good. I have only had to nurse 4 times today! My sister in law took some cute pics. Must share.

The Avocado that Wasn't

So I am sitting on the couch nursing Jack and in walks Michael from the back porch holding something in his hand. He is coming at me saying" avocado! ". I set Jack down to meet him half way, all the while saying to myself why is there an avocado in my back yard? I take it from him and I must have made a yucky face because he immediately said "no touch poop" and shook his finger at me. That is right. I said poop.

For those that don't know I have a good friend on bed rest and she brought her dog over for the night. Bear is a very large golden retriever who evidently has a unique talent for making fruit like shapes with his poop.

Your Saturday is our Thursday

Scott works almost every Saturday. So we make a point to have a family day on his day off. We chose the zoo!
Note to future zoo goers..... this bird bites. I would not advise encouraging your toddler to touch it. Scott?

Lions were very lazy

so were the bears

Hi! I am Michael the zoo keeper.

Ike came to the zoo too!
I have never felt more like a giraffe in my life!
Well that concludes the tour. Thanks for coming to the Houston Zoo.

Rub a Dub in the R.V. .........Sink?

My parents are staying in Tomball until their power is back on at their house in Pearland. They brought the R.V. to save it from the jaws of Ike. This is Jack and Michael taking a bath in the sink of the R.V.They loved it!
