Creekside Pool and Getting our Nails done

So we went to Creekside Pool up in The Woodlands as it was extremely hot this weekend.

We had a BLAST! It was so much fun...here are some pictures from our visit to the pool and waterpark!

Cassidy and I also went to the nail salon to get ready for our trip. Cassidy loved it. I think I am in trouble...I am already spoiling her!
(There are two albums, one from the salon, and one from the pool)

Ready for the weekend

Although we have a TON to do to get ready for vacation, we are going to hopefully enjoy this weekend. We are going to try out a new pool up in The Woodlands, so we will see how it goes. Here are som recent pictures of my cute niece Ami Ye. We miss them so much! Other than that we are rolling into the weekened.

Father's Day Itself

So we went to our friend Justin's house on Father's Day. At first I thought, a party on Father's Day???? I don't know, but we all had a great time. It was wonderful bar-b-que, and it was great to see friends. They had everything to eat from crawfish to meat, chips to dessert. NO ONE could go hungry!!! They had a HUGE SLIP-N-SLIDE!!! It was a blast. Below are some pictures of it. We had so much fun. Cas also had fun splashing in a baby pool too.

I think the best part of the whole day for me was they had horses. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always found horses magical...sound crazy???? Anyway, Justin has a stable and has some horses because on their property, they board animals as well. We got to get up close to the horses as they were in their stalls, and I loved getting to pet their noses. Cassidy thought they were great and did a wonderful job with them. The last thing I want is for Cas to be scared of horses, I guess since I love them so much.

Cas also got a new pool for the house, she really likes it. It is a little different than I thought it would be, but it is still really cute, and Cassidy likes it. I guess that is all that really matters.

Well, below are some pictures of the entire weekend. Take care until next post...

Happy Father's Day

So, today is Father's Day and I want to say Have a wonderful day to all the Father's out there. Mike is still sleeping, so we will wish him a Happy Father's Day on his schedule today. Cas and I woke up early today, and got it started. I got dressed, Cas is still in her P.J.'s, and we headed off to the donut store (Mike's request)! We picked up donuts and now in the background is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and we are waiting for Daddy to rise and shine. I want to say a special Happy Father's Day to Mike. You are a wonderful husband and Father. We love you very much and are very blessed to have you in our lives.

I want to write a special note to my Dad(a.k.a. Poppy Dick). Happy Father's Day Dad. I love you very much and can't wait to see you soon. Thanks for all that you do for me! I hope you have a wonderful day. We are counting down the days at our house until we come. Hope you are ready for some fun!

Other than Father's Day, we have had a fairly normal week. Cassidy has been back on a prescription again for her tonsillitis. Although, she feels great, and we have no problems to speak of. The doctor just felt as if we didn't knock it out with the first round of medication.

Cassidy got to go on a Pirate Adventure on Friday at school. She was a little leery of the Pirate, but we had a good time. They had a pretend pirate ship, and they got treasure at the end. The kids got to dress up if they wanted to as well. Since I was there, Cas wanted to sit in my lap and as far away from the pirate as possible. Friday night, our niece Jordan came home with Mike from work. She came over since every year we take her shopping for her birthday. It was in April, we were a little late this year, but we had some Mexican food Friday night.

Saturday morning we hit the mall to do a little shopping with Jordan. We met Mike's sister for lunch at Tommy Bahama, and had a nice time as well. Once Jenny
and Jordan had left, we decided to surprise Cassidy and go to a movie. We don't do that nearly enough, but Cas always has a great time. We went and saw the movie "Up". It was cute, but I would have thought it wound be a little different.
We went to Johnny Rockets for dinner, and I was a little disappointed in that as well. Mike and I first went to Johnny Rockets when we were on our Honeymoon as they had one on the ship we were on. It was actually good. We have gone a couple of times here, and it is not as good, and they don't entertain and sing like they used to. Anyway, we came home and all went to sleep early.

So that gets us back to Sunday morning...Cartoons on, and now Cassidy is hosting a "Cooking Class" for me. She has some of her play kitchen accessories downstairs, and is borrowing the beans from "Don't spill the beans game". She is so funny and very creative. She loves to help me in the kitchen, and it has made cooking more fun to me. Well, today we are going to a BBQ at a friend's house, in honor of his Father.

I guess that is all for now. Take care until next post!

Figured it out...Thankfully

OK, so withing a couple of minutes I have figured it out. I was going to loose it. Sorry for the crazy blogs...but we are good to go again!

WHAT HAVE I DONE???????

I have done something under the "layout" section in my blog, and can't see any of my posts! OMG!!!!!! I am going to cry! The wierd thing is that they are saved under my posts, but you just can't see them!!!! I have got to figure this out....

Summer fun...

So I promise I will upload pictures, but at least wanted to get what's been happening out there. So in May, Cas was sick with tonsilitis, and as I think about it that is the same time line as of when Mike had appendicidis but last year. Lord help me, I hope that this next May it is not my turn for something =-). Lately we have been trying to relax a little more and enjoy life. It seems like we always get caught up in the grind, and never "Stop to smell the flowers". So, with that being said, that is what I have been trying to do with Cas. I have come to the conclusion that it is very difficult to be a full time mom, wife and work full time as well. I try my best, but some days are better than others. Recently, Mike and I pulled out our blow-up pool for Cassidy, and she has been loving it. We have been spending a lot of time outside, and loving it. Cassidy has enjoyed laughing at the dog as she thinks she wants to be in the pool, but freaks out when she gets in. I have to admit I have been laughing at Bella too.

On Friday, Cas and I did our normal grocery shopping, her with her cart, me with mine. I always laugh because she gets so excited, I just hate it though when she hits me in the back of the heels...that is not fun! Cassidy loves the grocery store and thinks it is awesome that she gets to have her own cart. She wants to put everything in it though, and can't push it at all...

On Saturday, we went to a birthday party and they had a train. It was the coolest thing. It actually road on the street, and the kids loved it. The driver rang the bell as he drove down the street, and we got to ride around the subdivision.

On Sunday, we sunned ourselves like turtles in the pool, and ran a couple of errands. It always amazes me when we go to Wal-Mart. We never seem to get out of there without spending so much money, but we really just got what we needed, so I guess I don't feel as bad. Sunday morning, I had a photo shoot at a local park, then pictures turned out great, as the family I photographed are very photogenic.

Well, other than that, I keep trying to get us ready for vacation. We are headed to Missouri soon, and it should be a blast. We are driving, so it should be interesting. We are headed to Little Rock day one, spending the night there, then into Cape Girardeau. Can't wait! I get to see my Dad and Kim, and my step-sister Katie and her new little addition Henry Richard. From the pictures so far he is adorable. I will try to post some pictures of Henry soon!

Take care until next post!
