Nina stayed up a little past bedtime eating a twizzler and watching her favorite movie in bed with Paw-Paw and I. Being grandparents is the bees knees!

What is this
Posted onFive kiddos in this house ranging from 22 months to 12 years old and they are all either sleeping or at least settled in for the night by 9pm. What is this witch craft? I’m sure they will all be awake before dawn:)
Halloween 2017
Posted onThis year was one we hadn’t experienced before, but I have to agree with our 12 year old when she said “this was a crazy Halloween, but my favorite one, because it was with all of our family and that’s all that matters!”. It was chilly and decided to start pouring raining when we got down the block from our home. The kids were still amused, but didn’t seem to mind when we decided it was a bust and I would run to the corner store to get everyone a treat of their choice. Walgreens saved the night for our kids and grandkids! Rain or shine, fun was still had!

Grandbabies party!
Posted onToday was an exciting day for our Grandbabies! Their birthday party celebrating their fourth and second (a little early) birthdays! Cupcakes, dinosaurs, and a bounce house, so much fun! Their parents did a fabulous job making their day as special as they are!
Tuesdays
Posted onTuesdays have become one of my favorite days of the week. It’s the day we have named “Nina & Maw-Maw Tuesday”. I’m not a big fan of mornings, but precious moments like this are absolutely worth it. I love being a Maw-Maw to two of the sweetest children around!
My greatest find…
Posted onToday our two youngest babes had their kindergarten and 3rd grade character book parade at school. Mad was “Klause” from the book “Series of Unfortunate Events” and Bitty was “Alice” from “Alice in Wonderland”. They have a half day of school and get to look forward to a weekend with Maw-Maw! Matt and I are out of town for the weekend to watch my best friend get married! On our way our we stopped by for a quick visit with Budah, Monica, & Nina. Then took a little

After a little exploring we found this gem of a spot to take a picture…
And if anyone didn’t already know, he truly is my greatest find. After a leisurely lunch and roaming through a few shops we took off to Denton. After getting settled in our hotel
We discovered we were less than a half an hour from Oklahoma, so why not add a new state to our list of places we’ve been together. 
So we took off to a casino for a nice dinner after walking around and taking in the sights. Luckily we aren’t big on gambling, so we only lost a few dollars. Then back to Denton we went to enjoy the rest of the evening together. Looking forward to what tomorrow brings! How cute are these little sparrows we found for our bedroom in Waco? We have matching sparrow tattoos, and they happens to have a red and blue one which red and blue birds have always been significant to me, so they were perfect! 
Day full of joy & sadness…
Posted onToday has been an eventful day full of so much joy and sadness. This morning Nina & I saw my husband and kids off to school and work. We had a make up day for “Nina & Maw-Maw Tuesday”. We had breakfast with her GG. I took her to the pumpkin patch and then to have lunch with her Paw-Paw.
I went shopping for a wedding gift for my best friend and then the sad news that she’s been dreading arrived, her sweet Maw-Maw passed away today just three days before her wedding day. I remember that heartache. I still feel it to this day. And it makes me so sad that she has to know that kind of heartache during one of the happiest times of her life.
Pumpkin picking day
Posted onWe picked a hot day to pick pumpkins, but we did it with all of our children & grandchildren, so worth it?
Four!
