happy 14th bday mackenzie

mackenzie wanted to just have a few friends over for a sleepover on her bday and keep things nice and simple and maybe even watch some harry potter movies. then she got on pinterest

and things got a bit more complicated.

so...we made wands

had some butter beer,

made necklaces and played some harry potter trivia. i decided to complicate things a bit further

and bought some bertie botts jelly beans for the game. if they answered a trivia question incorrectly, they had to eat a jelly bean (various flavors include soap, grass,

vomit, sausage, black pepper, rotten eggs and boogers).

it was a really fun party. mackenzie is growing up to be such a beautiful,

kind-hearted and funny young lady. i love her dearly and am thankful i get

to be her mom!

i think we went to a ranger's game for mother's day last year, but this year decided to head to the motherland. yes, folks...i'm talking about aggie baseball. we met some of our favorite peeps for a night of rained-out baseball and over-priced food. i'm talking sno-cones, kettle corn, hot dogs, sausage on a stick, boudin, cokes and then a late night snack at chick-fil-a.

it was worth the drive just to hang with sweet friends! a good mother's day indeed!!

5th grade science field trip

a few weeks ago i chaperoned a trip to san marcos for a science field trip. it was really fun and a great learning experience. the kids searched a local stream for things living in there. we took the creatures out of the water to examine them, then returned them to their habitat.
