you can tell by the way i use my walk...

my baby boy is growing up too fast!

desperate times

we have sunk to an all new low at our house. i took this photo just a few minutes after i caught jackson opening the kitchen garbage can and eating a piece of leftover sonic burger. does the boy look like i starve him?

thanksgiving

we went to my mother-in-law's house for thanksgiving this year. it has been too long since we were there. no offense to anyone who has ever cooked for me...but my mother-in-law is the best cook on the planet. (mom-YOU make the best popcorn!) she made a delicious thanksgiving dinner and some yummy gumbo while we were there. we also went out to eat at a place with live alligators. it was a very nice, relaxing week playing games, catching frogs, doing a craft and hanging out with family.

last day of school...before thanksgiving break, that is

i don't know about yall, but i am so ready for thanksgiving this year. i have taken a week off of cooking to celebrate. my girls were also very excited to be free from homework for a while and to eat some of oma's cooking. here are some pics from the last day of school.

school's out!

we love fall!

i think fall is quickly becoming my favorite season (now that we live in fort worth). as houstonians the climate did not encourage the leaves to turn such beautiful colors. we are blessed to live in a neighborhood with so many trees. the above pic is from my unraked yard. who wants to rake up such beauty?
