She Said She Was Stunning

And indeed she was....... Last night, for the first time, I french braided Alexis's hair. Since her hair is so unruly, I thought I could pull her hair back into a pony tail for school the next day, with all of those pretty, soft waves. After tugging and pulling for what seemed like an eternity (to her at least) and her telling me for the umpteenth time, "your hurting me," I was done. I told her to go to the bathroom and check out her new braid.   After being in the bathroom for quite some time, I asked her if everything was alright?  She said, "Yes, I'm just fixing my hair."  When she presented herself, she said, "Don't I Look Stunning!"  She had matted her hair down around her face and forehead with water.  A slick, matted look is what she was going for.  She does this often and usually if dad wants to just get up and go.  It takes way too long to fix it the right way.  Some people just don't have the time to wait for us girls to get ready; if you know what I mean. I thought it was so adorably cute the way she fixed up her hair a bit and thought it looked stunning.  Just knowing in a few more years it will have to be fixed just right and that will more than likely take a few hours to accomplish.  It became so real to me that she is growing up way too fast.  To top off everything, she even has her 1st loose tooth.  She is so proud of that!   Aunt Harmony, what do you think about her picture portfolio and all those poses you taught her?

Landscaping 101

Indeed it's time to start a project that took us all of four years to complete.  Thinking about doing it again and what a labor or love it is, is a bit overwhelming.  Many of you know, that Craig is a self taught professional landscaper.  Not that he is a professional landscaper, just a self taught Pro scaper (the man has a love for it and he is such a visionary, just saying)  I personally had not realized the labor of love he undertook at our old house until the last couple of months before we sold and we constructed a flagstone patio together.  It wasn't until then, that I realized what he had created for his family.  Anyways, I plan to post as we he goes along with pics and all.  Be patient, very patient, because this will likely be a 4 year endeavor.........

A New Boat.....

We are so spontaneous. After waking up at the crack of dawn yesterday about 10:45 a.m., Craig wanted to take us to The San Antonio Boat Show. We spent three long hours at the show scoping out all the new boat models and giving my husband an itch to buy a new one. (I prayed the entire time that the newness of his boat had not worn off) The three hours we spent there was indeed long enough for the girls to run/crawl around and cause Londyn to periodically go into one of those "I'm so tried" crying fits. Afterwards, we decided to go to the "Free" Boat Show at The Bass Pro Shop were we enjoyed dinner at the Islamorada Fish Co.; which I must say offers the best seafood in all of San Antonio. My sister Harmony also joined us there for an adventurous stroll through the store with the one and only Alexis Lynn! After an absolutely delicious dinner we shopped around a bit and then headed home and hit the sac at nearly 11 p.m. We did not awaken until 11 this a.m.! Clearly the day before had wiped us all out! Enjoy the pics that highlighted our adventurous day out with dad!
