My little cheeser.  Found this bright little chalkboard at HomeGoods for $9.99.  They have a few different colors.  Perfect for these types of posts.  I can’t believe my baby is so big….really where does the time go?  I just want to freeze this time.  Connor is at such a fun age and is so talkative now.  He loves school and all his friends.

We got him a Transformer yesterday, his first big-boy robot.  He went nuts over it!  Ha ha!  Honestly all this boy stuff takes me awhile to get used to.  Growing up with a twin sister all I know is girly girl stuff.  I’m the bomb diggidy Barbie doll player….just sayin.  I’m starting to love all thing that go vroom, crash, and boom!

He woke up at midnight last night crying because he couldn’t figure out how to turn the Transformer back into a car.  Yeah…that was fun.  It’s a little complicated for a 3-year-old.  Actually I couldn’t even figure the darn thing out.  Toys these days….geesh!

I could definitely tell it was back to school today.  Traffic was much heavier than normal this morning.  Thank you so much for all who have prayed about my job situation.  I’m so thankful to work for such a great company and wonderful people.  God has blessed me in that regard.  I’m also thankful to get a couple more hours to spend with my booger each day & working fewer hours 🙂

I was also so excited to throw a baby shower for our good friends Sarah & Hyung on Saturday.  They are expecting a baby girl named Ellie in October.  Pictures to come soon on the baby shower.  I’m also going to host a jewelry party and I’ll share some of the goodies and bling bling my co-workers and I have ordered this week too.  It’s gorgeous stuff!

Hope you all have a blessed day and all the kids going back to school have a good one!

It’s been a hot one!  Whew…I was really enjoying our “cold front” of the mid 90’s lately.

Every now and then (if I have my camera on me) I’ll drive around on my lunch break and look at houses.  I love all the old historic neighborhoods and the lines and details of the homes.  Just getting ideas for someday right??? Ha ha!

I really just love architecture.  Homes today seem to lack all the little details that homes had years ago.  It’s fun to just go driving around and scout out pretty places 🙂

The arch over a door….

Arched doors and windows

That window….LOVE.

Perfect little cottage

Love our town.

I heart houses.

Also, one of my favorite websites is Hooked on Houses….go check it out if you love houses and architecture 🙂

Oh my gosh I wouldn’t go back to highschool and re-live those days for anything!  We didn’t have cell phones back then, I can’t imagine what school is like now days with all the social media around.  We had beepers.  If that doesn’t age me well….it does.  Above is a picture of Bonnie and I on our first day of senior year.  We were ballin’ in our Geo Prizm.  We had to share a car, but Bonnie always drove and I was co-pilot.  We had some great times in that car.  I think we spent $5 a week to fill the tank up and we would fight over that too….ha ha….if only we knew how CHEAP that was back then!

Here we are on our first day of either 1st or 2nd grade???

Ft. Riley, KS and butterfly backpacks 🙂

I also found this gem.  My highschool i.d.  Geesh that seems like a lifetime ago.  Back in the days when I used to tan and eat whatever I wanted.  Christina Aguilera’s Genie in a Bottle was topping the charts.  Time sure does fly!  No matter what grade, semester, or year you are starting try to find the joy in each day!  School is not easy….but the friendships made are forever.

Also, the traffic is going to get CRA-ZAY no…..grrrrrrr……

I’ll try not to get a speeding ticket in a school zone this year Mom! Love ya!

We’ve had a fab weekend!  Our weekend started off with a bang as we attended the circus for the first time 🙂  It was amazing!  Connor was mesmerized by the entire show.  He’s been asking if we can go back again….yeah let me start saving now kiddo!  We had one $14 bag of cotton candy and that’s it.  Next time remind me to hoard snacks in my purse.  Mmmmmkay?  Regardless, it was totally worth the smile on Connor’s face and it was fun family time together.

We’ve started walking during the evenings.  It’s been cool here lately, only in the mid 90’s for highs in TX is freakish.  Cold front!!!!!  It’s usually blistering hot.  Of course now that I’ve said that it’s going to be 115 next week probably.  I just have to get this lard off my body.  I’m so discouraged right now, and I go in and out of eating well and exercising then lose my mojo.  I need someone to stand behind me with a stick and just poke me constantly.  Now that I’ve had a job change and a little more time on my hands I’d like to focus on getting fit again.  Any who…..

Okay prepare yourself for picture overload……here was the circus:

The ringmaster

Get it girrrrl

In a circus coma

I have a slight crush on the lion/tiger tamer 😉

The girls in bubbles

Motorcycle on a tight rope…..no thank you

Motorcyclists with a death wish apparently…

I have no idea how they did this one.

Girls hanging from their hair

I need whatever shampoo/conditioner their using

No thank you again…jumping through hoops of fire makes me pee my pants

My favorite

The elephants 🙂 Finally the dragon made its grand entrance 

THE END.

Have a great Monday everyone!
