I asked God for all things, that I might enjoy life. God gave life, that I might enjoy, all things

Well it's been over two weeks since we have had visitors here and I have to admit I have felt lonely this past week- so what else to do than fill our week with fun stuff to do. It was just me and the kids as all of my friends here were gone and all my family had come and gone.

The kids and I have had a great time doing lots of fun things and just hanging out with no schedule. We signed Kailyn up for a Girl Scout camp that she is doing this next week- she is SOOO excited! We hit the library and it just so happened that Ronald McDonald was there to do a magic show so we got to see that. Callie was really not so into Mr. Ronald and would not get too close or even a picture with him. As you can see in the pictures the closest she was going to get was his drawing on his car. We also went over to Blockbuster and signed up for Camp Wannawatchamovie where we get unlimited kids movies for four weeks for $5.00 for the month! Kailyn and Holden made me very proud that day- we said that we would take turns each time we went and they offered to let Callie go first and Kailyn volunteered to go last. They have really enjoyed getting to go to the movie store everyday and look around and pick the movie they want for that day. It has worked out great during the really hot part of the day when everyone needs a nap/rest time and it's the only television they watch. We also had Kailyn's meeting for cheer leading and she got measured for her uniform- again she is beyond excited! Practices start the first week in August which we will miss because the kids and I are packing up and making a round to Arkansas and Oklahoma that week. I do have to say though I have a feeling we will be living at the fields and in our car come August. Kailyn will have practice three times a week until school starts and then she goes down to once a week for an hour and a half. I can't wait to hear what the football schedule is going to be- oh well it will be fun!! Put this in with school everyday until 3:40, piano and religious education for church and I am guessing our free time will be....zero! I guess we have reached this point in our lives so I am not going to fight it only enjoy the ride. Last Friday the kids dressed up as Chick Fil A cows for Cow Appreciation day and each got their free kids meal for dressing up and they were a hit! In the evening we hit another pool with Chip after work it was a wonderful family evening. This past weekend was pretty low key we painted the first room in our new house the girls room pink. It turned out very cute and can't wait for Nana and Papo to come on Sunday they are bringing the girls vanity and we only need a few more pieces to complete their girlie dress up room. Other than that we have been reading like crazy, writing letters and K&H learning times tables Callie is working very hard at writing her name and learning all of her letters. We did got to the Children's Museum here in The Woodlands it was their one year birthday and they had a great magic show and the kids all got treats so they loved it! We have hit the pool and splash pad with friends, kids had friends over to spend the night Wednesday and we have been hitting the gym quite a bit (Mama needs a break just a little everyday gets me re energized).

Sunday Nana and Papo come for a visit for most of the week and we can't wait it will be so much fun!!! The kids are getting used to visitors they LOVE it!!!
