Fall is in the air and here we go, off to the Yamboree.  It was another fun year at the annual Yamboree in Gilmer.  Yet again, I double booked myself this weekend and had to leave after the parade to attend a Taylor Swift concert (is there always a concert this weekend??). But, before I…

October usually proves to be a super awesome weather month in North Texas.  We try to get outside as much as possible, when it’s not raining. (This year seems to be especially wet!)  I didn’t want to miss a good opportunity to visit a pumpkin patch, so that’s where we headed early Sunday morning. This…

Sports, sports, and more sports! A couple of weeks ago we started our second t-ball season (right after we started soccer). This season we switched from city of McKinney to Frisco. We were lucky enough to maintain a good portion of our spring team. The boys were really good! Call me biased, but I really…

Here we go again with another fun season of sports. This fall, Walt is playing soccer and tball again.  If you ask him, his favorite is whichever one he is playing at the moment. The kid just loves to play outside and throw or kick a ball. We’ve seen great improvement in these boys from…

It’s not really a secret that blog upkeep was not my strength this year. There are so many little things we do that I don’t think warrant their own blog post, but then I look back at all our summer pics and realize we did some awesome stuff! Aside from things I’ve already written about…

This is a tradition that I know is short lived, but I sure do love it while it lasts! The city of Frisco hosts an annual Mother-Son Dance (they also do a Daddy-Daughter Dance) in the fall. Last year, the theme was 80s and this year it was “Saturday Night Fever.” I’m all about themes,…

If it’s not clear, I love pop music. I also love Vegas. Two years ago, Britney Spears announced a permanent show at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. At the time, Oscar was so tiny (term used loosely), that it never seemed like a possibility. Fast forward two years later and all the stars aligned. I’m…

Poor Bentley – we have no idea how old this guy is!  When we got him last year, they thought he was a year an a half to two years old.  Based on his playfulness, we decided he was closer to one year. But no one knows.  But, with that in mind, we decided to…

I think we’ve lost count as to how many times we’ve seen Kelly Clarkson. I need to count my ticket stubs, but after a quick review on her wikipedia page, I think this concert was our 11th???  We saw her once in Dallas for a charity concert that wasn’t part of a tour, so I…

Against my original judgement, we decided to keep Walt in soccer over the summer. I thought this was overkill for a 4 year old and really thought he’d enjoy the break over the summer. I was wrong 🙂  The way the team did it over the summer was absolutely perfect.  There were no practices. Just…
