New camera

We got our new camera this last week so I have been working on taking some new fancy pictures…I say that half joking because I still don’t think I am taking such great pictures at this point but maybe one day I will learn how.003

Teaching Stroller Strides in the backyard. If you are wondering, she dressed herself.

She also knows the importance of putting the brake on when parking your stroller

More to come this week as we head to the Botanical Gardens, Sesame Street Live and more outdoor fun now that it’s spring. Yes as in it’s going to be in the high 70’s all week. Hello Spring…in February. It’s just not natural

Videos

As promised I have made two 4 minute videos to share with the world. Obviously as titled the first is from our Disney trip. Please note the last clip…Reese got to do the Hot Dog dance with Mickey and Minnie. Every morning she watches the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and at the end of every episode they do the Hot Dog Dance. She LOVED dancing with Mickey and Minnie…super great that they the exact moves from the show…but hey that’s Disney for you. (You can also see Ryan get punked by Rosetta while visiting the fairies in Pixie Hollow, where Tinkerbell and her friends live)

This next video is Reese reading me her Fancy Nancy book the other night. She really has the whole thing down pat. The night before I taped her she had the entire thing…this night she was a little off her game.

Who is in charge??

I am beginning to wonder who is in charge at this house.

As soon as we decide what camera to get I might be able to order it and take pictures. Secondly I know I have LOTS of videos to post…however having a certain 3 year old at home makes it difficult to get anything done on the computer…so I am hoping that since Ryan is back from his massive 2 week long trip I can sit down tonight and get some things uploaded on here.

*this was with Ryan’s camera phone..we have resorted to this since we’re still sans camera.

Disney World

Disney!

I know I owe everyone a post with lots of pictures, I am hoping to get them all uploaded today and then I will work my fingers to the bone to get them all uploaded and ready for your viewing pleasure.
I will say that Ryan saw the magic. He was not a believer before, but as soon as he saw Reese standing in front of Snow White in total awe he was a changed man. I knew it would happen. I love to be right. Reese loved every minute of it, was so incredibly well behaved and was stunned meeting all her favorite characters. She told Pocahontas that she loves watching her movie. Pocahontas asked her what her favorite part was and Reese came right back with "When you sing Just Around the Riverbend"...the trip was GREAT. I promise pictures later today/tonight.

Show Us Your Single Men

In honor of Kelly’s Korner blog doing a showcase of single guys I am posting a blog about our two single friends Tim and Jason.

Tim Engler

tim

Tim is a 7th grade science teacher in Uvalde, Texas. He has been my husband’s best friend since before they were able to talk and he’s one of the most all around great guys I have ever met. Tim will give you the shirt off his back if you needed it because he’s just that kind of guy. He likes basketball, Aggie football, Cowboys football and of course we can’t leave out Texas Country. Tim is an avid 9 pin bowler (it’s a small town Texas thing) and he loves spending time with friends.  Prior to moving to Uvalde this last August he lived near San Marcos, TX and was also a youth leader at his Church. He really enjoys kids and hopes someday to have some of his own. Tim is a lot of fun to be around, always has a smile on his face and can make you smile by simply turning on his charm. He’s an uncle to two very sweet girls and enjoys being around his family. Tim is the God father of Reese and has always been a big part of her life. Tim is such a nice guy, gives his all to a relationship and is looking for someone to share his time with. If you’re interested in Tim leave a comment and I will work on setting you up. Tim’s a genuine sweetheart.

Jason Henderson

jason

Jason is an awesome friend who I met through my husband as they were really great friends all through college. Jason has been such a great friend to me as well so I would love nothing more than to see Jason happy, settled down, and starting his life with the right lady. Jason lives in Beamount, Texas at this time and he works as the Assistant Athletic Director for a Division I University. By all accounts you could say Jason would spend all the time he has watching sports because he LOVES sports. Jason is a Texas Aggie and will never miss keeping up with the Aggie baseball team. Jason is a tenderhearted man who is looking for the right girl to spend time with. He is the kind of guy who will do anything for the girl he is in a relationship and he is always willing to bend over backwards to make sure you are happy. Jason is a fun guy to be around and can make you laugh. He is ready to put himself out there, so if you’re interested in Jason leave a comment and I will set it all in motion.
