Alexis Lynn Is A Mega Girl toooooooooo........

Be Careful What You Wish For......


OHHHHH, how I detest combing through this tangled maze of a rats nest infested in my daughters hair. NO, she does'nt like it either. As you can see in the pic, she looks less than trilled about the inevitable that is just about to get underway. She will sit between my legs as her head is jerked back-n-forth for what seems like hours until soft, lustrous hair is revealed. Thanks to aunt Holland and her tip off to use Biosilk streamed throughout her hair to help soften and loosen the entangled mess. For all of you who have wondered why Lexi's hair is always pulled pack into a pony tail, now you know! It's a preventative measure to keep this from happening once more!

When I was a little girl, I longed for soft wavy hair. Now, I'm glad I have straight hair since I've never had this problem. Watchfully waiting to see what Londyn's hair is going to do. So, I don't have to play this game of cat-and-mouse with her too.

Starting Kindergarten", "1st Day Of School" TheseHaveBeenTheHeadlinesOfLate

Receiving a myriad of emails from friends as they announce their child's 1st day of school this week. No one in the Mullins household started school this year. Boy WE'RE relieved. We stir, uhmmmm around 10:30 am EVERYDAY! It was also apparent today at the "red slide pool" that school had started, as there were but a few children present from 7:15-9 pm. (when it's cooler, a lot cooler to go swimming) I know, we will be well prepped next year when school comes knocking on our door! For now though, we are enjoying staying at home, rising late each morning, running errands, playing at the park, going to the down-town shops, relaxing at the beach, getting our favorite coffee milkshakes and heading to New Braunfels on the weekends. All the while, not having to concern ourselves about getting back to Rockport or going to bed early because school is now in session.

The Best Way To Spell Love is "T-I-M-E"

The best use of life is love.
The best expression of love is time.
The best time to love is NOW!

I'm Making A Friend Out Of You

Overheard yesterday at the "Red Slide Pool".....

Envision, Alexis hobbling her way over to a girl she painstakingly sought out as she scanned the sea of children at the aquatics pool as she was looking to make an "amigo" to swim with. Subsequently, it appears the girl was trying to get away from Alexis as she tried to swim away without warning. Suddenly, she stops, turns and says, "What?" Alexis, then replied in a deep, raspy voice, "I'm Making A Friend Out Of You"! The next thing I know, they are endlessly, swimming sidekicks.

My Sheep

Alexis Lynn asked Jesus to come into her heart; to be her Lord & Savior on July 17, 2007. This got me thinking about life and the purpose of "my" life. I did not realize the purpose of my life until I had children. After graduating high school, I immediately went to college to obtain my degree and find the purpose of my life; surely this accomplishment is what gives you your purpose. Right? WRONG! It was during my college years that I met my husband, Craig. The moment I met him, I KNEW, I was going to marry that man! (He did too....shhhhhh) From the instant we met we were inseparable; he is truly my best friend. Although past relationships did not endure, I always knew (deep, deep down) they were never meant to be! ****For, God gives us the desires of our hearts!**** Needless to say, I got hitched to the man of my dreams, I obtained my BA and a great job!!!! Surely, I must of found the purpose of my life by now....Nope, still empty! (I must mention, although I had not discovered the purpose of my life, I was still extremely happy and very much in love with Craig) Craig and I then decide to build our 1st house. Wow! Now we were new home owners. Surely, I must have purpose in my life. Still, no purpose! Eleven months after we closed on our new home, I gave birth to our 1st daughter Alexis Lynn and then again 4.5 years later Londyn Paige arrived. I found the purpose of my life in my children! This purpose, ordained by God, is to take care of my sheep. To teach them about Jesus and to raise Godly daughters who fear the Lord. The purpose of my life is to make sure my sheep, (including Craig) that their names are written in the Book of Life.
