Spring Show

This past Friday was the Spring Show at Jackson and Jordan's daycare. Each class came out and sang a song. Jordan's class sang Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

I took this one when Jordan finally saw me in the crowd. I was hidden behind a few other parents.
Jackson's class sang a couple of spring-y songs. They really sang well. I was surprised.
Jackson, of course, had to pose with all the animals on the backdrop.

What a Weekend!

First of all, we just want to tip our hats to the Aggie men and womens basketball teams. Even though they both gave us heart failure, it was one heck of a ride!!!

So now onto the next sport... Aggie Baseball. Friday night, we headed to College Station to watch our favorite Aggie baseball player. Brandon started in right field for the game against Texas Tech. Before the game, each player is announced and they run to their position, and they are joined by a little kid for the National Anthem. We signed up Jackson and Jordan to run onto the field, and explained that they were Brandon's cousins, so they got to stand with him. Sawing them off! Jackson and Jordan running out into right field.
Here they are with Brandon. He was telling Jack to take his hat off.
Here's Jack and Brandon during the National Anthem. Isn't that a neat picture?
How special is that for Brandon's cousins to be able to be out there with him. We were so proud. Brandon had a great game, and the Ags won the series.

Saturday, the cold front blew in... and boy did it BLOW in. During the day, we went to the children's museum in Bryan to break up the day a little bit. They had lots of different activities for the kids. Outside of the museum, there were these miniature trains. Many of you know that there are a huge number of trains that go thru B-CS everyday, so the mini-trains were fitting. Jackson loved them, and wanted to take a picture with every one we saw.


Let's just say that Daddy influenced this picture.

My cousin kept the kids Saturday night and we went to the game and braved the cold with Kenny's sister and brother-in-law. Olsen Field is always colder than any other part of campus. And the wind was brutal. It was another great game and the Aggies won. Sunday we decided to forgo the wind and cold and head back home.

Sunday was also Kenny's birthday. YAY! We went to lunch after Church and then headed back home. I had a cookie order to get out, so I baked and Kenny relaxed watching basketball. Well, watching the Aggies wasn't really relaxing. Let's just say he was sitting... most of the time. Since we didn't do much celebrating on Sunday, we had cake after dinner Monday night. Happy Birthday Daddy!!! We love you so much!!!

Easter Decorating

This past Sunday, Jackson and I went up into the attic and pulled out our Easter decorations. We don't have many, so it didn't take long. One thing we found was an Easter tree that I bought years ago. I hadn't put it up in a long time, but Jackson saw it and asked if he could decorate it. Of course I said yes. So while I put out the baskets and rabbits, Jackson sat at the table and decorated the tree. When he was finished, he was very proud.

Another Milestone

Jordan has been growing like a weed and has finally grown out of her crib. We took the side off of it a few weeks ago to make it a toddler bed. That worked fine except Jordan would push the railing away from the bed while she slept. That left a gap between the mattress and railing and then she'd fall out of bed. That wasn't good. At least she always got right back into bed. So this weekend, we brought her twin mattress out of storage and put it on the floor in her room. She was soooooo excited! And Jackson was excited for her. Our big girl!!!

It's Potty Time!

This is our powder room door. This is significant because Jordan is on the other side peeing in the potty. I followed her in to help, but she kicked me out. We got serious about potty training last week and she's been doing great. She's only had a few accidents. We're so proud of her and so excited. She's also figured out that she gets quarters every time she goes, so that's good motivation!

Our big (independent) girl!


***Update: She's POO'D in the potty three days in a row now!! I'm so excited I can barely contain myself!!!

We're Still Recovering

What a crazy weekend! Kenny flew out on Friday to Florida to play golf at the TPC Sawgrass with a fountain company that they do business with. The kids and I drove to El Campo where the kids had a play date with Grandma, Popo and Aunt Brenda. I went on a bus trip to Coushatta with my family. While I didn't win anything, I had a blast. I think everyone on our bus did. I know Kenny had fun, because he had a hoarse throat when he got home, and was exhausted. And of course the kids were exhausted too and fell asleep on the drive home. I think we're all still recovering from the weekend. And fun was had by all!!!

And how cute are these flower cookies that I did for the Majestics Dance Team!

An Announcement

I want to share my new venture with you all. The Busy Bee Cookie Company is open for business!!! As many of you know, my first experience making cookies was for Jackson and Jordan's birthday party. I had a lot of fun and cookie decorating became my new hobby. I've had some people ask me to make cookies for different occasions, so I thought why not???

I'll still share some of my cookies with you all on here, but I've created a blog specifically for the cookie business. It will show alot more of my designs and includes pricing information. You can find a link to the site on my favorite blog list on the left side of this blog. For now, I only plan to work with local clients, but who knows, maybe I'll be shipping across the country one day! So if you, or someone you know, needs some yummy decorated sugar cookies, give me a call or email me at busybeecookies@gmail.com!
