Happy Hump Day: better late than never!

This week has been VERY hectic! I had left the girls in Del Rio to hang with their cousin and have some fun on their own. (Which they DID for a couple of days ) Well, on Monday night Angie called to let me know Delaney was in severe pain. She took her to the hospital and they were thinking it was appendicitis. We were 6 hrs away and it was 11pm......we quickly loaded bags and the boys in the car and started our long journey. Many a prayer was said that night. Thank God it appears we caught it early enough and it can be cleared with antibiotics and pain meds. Poor thing was sobbing and shaking VERY unlike her!!! When we rolled into Del Rio it was 5AM and she was at Angie's passed out from the drugs! She didn't feel like traveling till this morning and still is having pain and fever....so keep those prayers coming!

Anyway, my Happy Hump Day is my sweet girl Delaney and that she is SOOOOOO like me she asked Angie to take a picture of her IV... to show to the boys!!!!

San Antonio Trip

Our trip was filled with fun! My sister Leah & cousin Angie along with their kids joined us. We hung out at the hotel and enjoyed the pool. Also, we went to the Witte Museum... so fun I recommend it!!!! Mom, Harold, Danny, Stacey and kids joined us on Sat. for the Witte & lunch! On the last day, Dax and I took our crew to the Alamo and the Buckhorn Museum. It was a great time packed into a weekend! Here is a picture collage of the highlights!!!!

We Moo Anything 4 FREE Food!

My crazy sister and I dressed our herd up to get free food from Chick Fil A the other day! We had a lot of fun and enjoyed seeing all the other homemade cows!

Happy Hump Day

Making me happy this Wednesday is my cousin Angie! I will be, as you read this, spending the week with my dear cousin in Del Rio! I am soooooo excited and am CERTAIN that there will not be slump in my week spent with her and her son!!!!!

Here is a recent picture of us!

SIGNS....

My 10 year old girls have really gotten into making signs lately. Most of the time it is a "No little Boys allowed!" "Keep Out" "I'm on the phone!" sign on their door.

Well, last week Emma came downstairs to tell me Dede had thrown up. After making sure she was OK, I told Emma we would let Dad know after his conference call was over. I am not very good at puke and if I don't have to clean it up we are all better off! I do clean it when I have too ;-) Emma is a bit obsessive when she decides something needs to get done (especially when it comes to her twin). She NEEDED to let her dad know and he NEEDED to know RIGHT THEN!!!!

So as Dax was working hard in his office, he looked up from his desk to see Emma holding this sign on the other side of his french doors!

Animal Planet NEVER ENDS!

"What do you mean Ollie?" I asked.

"Animal Planet NEVER ends!" he replied.

"OK?!?!" I said slowly.

Arm stretched out he kept going, "Mom, Animal Planet NEVER ends! It just keeps going and going! LIKE GOD!"

"Oh, I see!"

"YEAH, Jax told me!" he bounced away saying VERY PLEASED!

The other day Ollie was telling me how his BROTHER teaches him so much. How his brother is so smart! He said at night when they are in their bunk beds, Jax tells him about EVERYTHING! It is so SWEET how much he loves him. We are so BLESSED and they are my proof God's love NEVER ENDS! I am proud they can see it too!

Ok.....so I went to snap a picture for this post and said get together. They set themselves up in this pose..... it is LOVE no matter how it looks..... they are BOYS after all
;-)
