Kindergarten
Today was H's first day of kindergarten. He was very excited to be going to school. He had a very good day. He said they played outside a lot and walked around to the different rooms and the music room and they played a name game where they threw the ball around to the kids to learn their names. He was upset with me when I picked him up because he wanted to ride the bus. We talked to the head bus driver and he will be at our house at around 7:10 in the morning, so we will see how long H really wants to ride the bus getting up that early. He was very tired when he got home and took a nap for a little while then I had to wake him up to take little R to the Dr. and him to karate. We will see how the rest of the year goes, hopefully he will stay excited about going.
Our House
Some of you know that R and I bought a house a little while back. There were a couple of things that needed to be done before we could move in, like redo the bathroom. It is a three bedroom one bath and has 5 acres. We have been staying with my parents since R started working in January. We have enjoyed that very much (especially the kids) and they have been very patient with us staying there. Well we finally got to move into our house last week. H & K were very excited about sleeping at our new house because they have been wanting to sleep on their bunkbed since we moved back to Texas in December. So they have been happy to sleep in their own beds and we were happy to be out at our house so I could be getting things in order.

Little R
We had some sweet corn out of our garden tonight and it was pretty good. We gave little R a cob and he really enjoyed sucking all the juices out. He sucked on it for a long time. We all enjoyed it. H and K were excited last night because they got to pick their first little pumkins. They have really liked watching all the vegetables grow. H will eat the vegetables just because he grew them in his garden. K will only eat the corn, she is truely her daddy's girl - will not eat very many vegetables. Big R has been trying more vegetables though since we grew them. Sunray Funday
We went to Sunray this weekend for Sunray Funday. The kids had a pretty good time. H and K got to ride in the Fire truck and throw candy for a little while, until the guys in the front ran out. H and K need to practice their candy throwing so the kids watching can get more. I did not get a good picture of K because they looked so sad when they pasted and I did not want them to be scared and not want to do it again. As it turns out they were just sad they did not have any candy. After the parade we went to the park and they had all kinds of entertainment for the kids and a BBQ. We got some BBQ and went back to nana and papa's house since nana needed to stay with great papa, the kids were also ready to go swimming. They had a good time.

8 thinngs about my marriage
1. WHERE DID YOU MEET YOUR HUSBAND?
We met through a friend at Hooters. She was going to see R because he was only in town for a little while - in between moving from New Jersey to Arizona and she did not want to go by herself. So she talked another girl and myself to go with her. This was in Sept 2000.
2. WHAT WAS THE FIRST THING YOU SAID TO HIM?
Hello. I really don't remember. I remeber he was very nice and cute.
3. WHERE WAS YOUR FIRST DATE? FIRST KISS?
Our first date was in December of 2001. We had been talking on the phone off and on since September of 2000. We went on a Limo ride around Amarillo with the girl that I met R through and her boyfriend and another guy. We had a really good time. Our first kiss was that night also.
4. DID YOU HAVE A LONG OR SHORT COURSHIP/ENGAGEMENT?
It was pretty short. We got engaged in March 2002 and got married July 2002. Pretty short since R lived in Arizona and I lived in Texas.
5. WHERE DID YOU GET ENGAGED?
We got engaged at Logan's roadhouse, it was my favorite place to eat. We had been shopping all day. He was home from Arizona for a weekend or couple days. We had looked and bought a ring - they had to order the right size so I did not think he would propose that night. We had supper at Logans with both of our parents. He asked my dad for permission then a little later he got up to go to the bathroom and came back with roses and a ring one rose. He had asked the waiter to stand me up on the fireplace edge in the room we were sitting. He walked up to me and asked if I would marry him in front of the resturant. I thought it was fun and I was surprised it happened that day.
6. WHERE DID YOU GET MARRIED?
We got married in Canyon on the West Texas A&M campus in the Chapel. It was simple and I thought it all was pretty.
7. HOW DID THE RECEPTION GO?
I thought the reception went pretty good. We had cake and finger foods. We visited with our friends and family. We even had a birthday party for R's great grandpa. R and I were not able to stay very long because we had to be in Lubbock by a certain time. It was fun.
8. HOW WAS THE HONEYMOON?
It was soo much fun. We went to South Padre Island for a week. We played in the gulf, rode horses, walked up and down the island then we rented a little electric car. My favorite part was going deep sea fishing. We want to do that again some day when the kids are a little older maybe.

God's Art Work
DH & I were looking through our pictures this morning and we saw this picture. We took it back in May because it was so pretty. It just reminds us every night we see God's sunset how much He loves us and how awesome He is.Wednesday, August 1, 2007
Dinosaur Park
R had fun swinging for the first time by himself.
Look at these Lil hatch lings
The Lil hatch lings in the T-Rex
We visited the dinosaur park while we were in Austin. H thought it was very fun. They got to "dig" for dinosaur bones, walk around the park looking for all the dinosaurs and we saw a walking stick which was fun for all of us because we had never seen one. They had a playground and picnic tables and the kids always like going on picnics, although I they really do not want to eat they just want to play. We had a good time and then got to go back to Aunt S house and go swimming.
