A wolf in Bears clothing...

Landry got his bear badge tonight. They had a little ceremony and and handed out trophies for the Rain gutter Regatta. They got them all Hyper and then sent them home and said go to sleep you have TAKs tomorrow. Yea right like thats gong to happen, At least we have another year before we have to do that.

Anyway, Here are some pics...



Denton Arts and Jazz Festival

We have been going ot the Denton Arts and Jazz Festival for about 16 years. Holy Cow.. I just realized we have lived in the metroplex for 16 years!! WOW! Sorry ADD kicked in..

Denton Arts and Jazz festival is AWESOME!! It is 3 stages of non stop bands and or entertainment. It is very Dentonish. Yes thats a word,ask any Dentonite and they will tell you.

Anyway, It has crafts and painting and kids art tent (our favorite) and Beerman and Brave Combo.. It is just a cool place ot go hang out and watch the freaky people. A few years ago, my Dad bought a picture of a mountain in front of a lake with it refelcting off the lake. It was very cool. Ok I say a few years it was probably 10 years ago. Anyways, he had the artist sign it. Well, we were in San Fransico and stumbled upon this guys gallery. We went into see if it was the same guy. It was. I talked to his assistant and told her about the photo. She said that print is now going for $2,000!! We bought it for like $25. So, this festival draws some big names. I mean it is Denton after All.
The of course, You have the Denotonites..There was a guy yesterday walking around with a big sign over his head that said FREE HUGS.. Funny.. It's intersting how you veiw things differently when you have kids. Before I would have ben like sure give me a free hug. NowI'm like kids lets go that way away from the Child molestor. Probably just a nice guy having fun, but that mom instict is on high radar in crowded places.

Its just a super fun place to spend the afternoon. It use to be bring anything you wanted in to "grounds". Now, they say no coolers. That didn't stop people from thinking. THere were people with Wagons full of beer and food. There were people with tents set up with tables and tables of food. If you have never been you should go, Every year in April.

Wishing you a happy Hippity Hop!!



Happy Easter!!! Christ our Lord has risen today! alleluia..
come on everyone sing...

Ok maybe not. Sorry Easter isn't Easter with out That song.So this has been the year. This is the year we have really focused on what Easter is and not the bunny and the eggs. This is the year the kids have gotten it. They are starting to understand what its all about. Landry actually listened to the preacher and has been asking questions. Questions mommy has been having a hard time answering, and there goes that childlike faith. Luke just believes. The only question he has is why is there a Easter Bunny? Good question. I got no idea.

Now not to say we haven't had our fill of gold Old Fashion Easter fun.



Nothing says Loving like blue lips

What do you mean I forgot the trip?

I forgot nothing.. It seems my computer did not want to coperate with My trip bloging so Here's to catching up...


SPRING BREAK 2009!!!!
In case you missed the last post, Mine and Jason's 10 year wedding anniversary was March13th. ( Yes we did plan that its Always the week of Spring Break or right around there)So what did we do??
SAN FRANSISCO BABY!!!
We left Monday morning had a 3 hour lay over in LA where my dad met us and took us out for lunch (thanks Dad) We got to San Fran around 9:00 Monday night. We went out got some Thai food and headed back to the hotel. Which BTW was awesome. It was an old inn and we had the penthouse suite ( thanks again mom and dad) When we got there the lady said " Oh you upgrade to penthouse" Imagine a asian accent there
We say no .. she say yes.. no. yes.. no .. yes..NO!! .. yes see here .. My parents had called and upgraded us. Ok Collaborative AWWWWW.
So Tuesday we headed out bright and early out the hotel door at 9:00. We had a cruise to Alcatraz at 11:00 plenty of time right.. HA HA.. nope..We walked to the pier. On the way we say this beautiful Cathedral it was breath taking. Unbelievable!!
We hung out there for a while. Then headed up up up to the pier yes. That's right up to goto the pier, because everything in San fran is up hill..
Alcatraz was very cool we were there a couple of hours it was neat. Jason LOVED it. Then we went to the Warf to shop.. AHHH my place.. History.. HEH Shopping AHH.. WE shopped and saw the sights . Went on cruise out and under the Golden Gate Bridge. That thing is HUGE. Then we rode the trolley, Yes I hung off the side and said the San Fransisco treat.
Tuesday was St. Patty's day and being that I am a red headed we were looking must celebrate. It's the Law.. So we asked around and headed the Castro, which is the Homosexual area of San Fran. It was defiantly eye opening. Or Eye closing depending on what we were looking at.
Wed.
We rented a car and headed up to NAPA.. Lets just say we had a grape time.. HA HA oh come on it was too easy..Seriously. My cousin Jay had set us up at this winery that treated us very well. IT was a small place and they gave us a half glass for each wine. We came out of there with 8 bottles in tow. 6 of which Jay gave us as a Anniversary present. Thanks Jay Boy. Then Jason poured me into the car and the rest of the day is a litle blurry..
Thursday . Time to come home.. Back to real world but only for a few hours.




Then we are off to go camping and four wheeling and a new addtion of Dirt Bike riding.
No I dont have any pics of this my hands were over my eyes most of the time. Landry is now on 2 wheels!!! EEKK... He fell probably 50 times but he got up each time and started it back up. There were only one or twon of those I was actually concerned over but still, nothing like watching your "baby" scream by you on 2 wheels.
Ugghh My poor gray hairs

10 Years Seriously!! It can't be!!

I seriously can not believe we have been married for 10 years. It seems like just yesterday We were hanging out on the top of cool beans. Where oh where did the time go. So here is the background info.. Jason and I met in college. I was soooo not looking for a boyfriend I was having a good time. We kept seeing each other everywhere I turned. It was like God kept putting him right in front of me and I kept saying hi and moving on to the next party. The very first nigh we kissed I knew that He was absolutely totally and completely different then anyone else. They say you can tell with the first kiss , I never bought into that kinda stuff but, I had those butterflies that don't go away and the daydreaming about him that I had never had before. He was the one.I still get those butterflies when he comes home from work and I get that first kiss of the day. He is my night in shining armor.
He is my personal comedian, He can make me laugh like no one and nothing else can. He is always always always looking out for Me nd the boys. I am his # 1 priority and I know it. He works very hard so that I can have and do what I want to do. He never complains about what I have ( shopping) or have not ( housework) done. Oh and here's the best part he thinks I am most sexy with a baseball cap and hockey Jersey on. You gotta love that. He loves me for exactly who I am and has never expected more. I am sure he would not complain if he came home to a clean house , well behaved kids and dinner on the table but what do I look like June Cleaver?? I gotta say in 10 years that has never happened.
He is the best .. I am so grateful God hand picked him just for me. I love you honey with ALL my heart.
