One little monkey sitting in a tree

This is the song her heiness learned her first day of pre-k. I will post some more pics hopefully tomorrow. I am blogging this from my phone while waiting in the car for my hubby. I know I didn't post last thursday, but in my defense I just wasn't up for it. My dear friend amazon's little sister delivered a baby boy at 23 weeks he lived 3 days. The funeral was last thursday. It has been a rough time for everyone. On a brighter note  I start crochet class tonight.  The hubby changed the dining room into a craft room and I have been very busy crafting.  On to my thankful list.  

I AM THANKFUL FOR:

1.  Salvation- do I need to explain. I have lost a few people who wer dear to me because they don't understand and can't accept me for who I've become.  I'm sorry for them.

2  friends- the real ones who stick by your side. Thanks guys.

3.  Books- I have been on a reading spree lately & it is quite an expensive habit.

4.  My hubbies job- there are a lot of things about it that make me angry, but I'm learning to latch on to the good parts.

5.  School- I'm so glad school is in session again.

6.  My kiddos- seriously they are such unique individuals.

7.  My hubby- he is amazing & I don't know what I would do without him.  

8.  Music- man I love music

9.  Red plaid heels- so pretty

10. Laughter- I'm trying to laugh more.

Well that's all for now time to eat lunch.

dancing on the stage of memories

what a wonderful week we have had. i got to see some friends that i haven't seen in years. the kiddos were thrilled to get to spend some quality time with the hubby's family.



her heiness needed some snuggle time with her daddy while we waited for shelly and crew to show at the zoo for our rendezvous.





shelly's boys and my girls hanging together outside of marble slab.







this is just off the river walk in san angelo. the plaque said that she was a water sprite and her heiness demanded having a picture taken with her.

yep my girls are eating ice cream. we met my dear friend snow white in Caldwell. her youngest moved every time i tried to get her in the picture. if you look you can see her hand in the picture.
Nana had a blast getting to spend time with the kiddos. she even let them help feed the cows.

the girls were showing their funky tongues off. her heiness had been eating crazy colors ice cream and her tongue was a weird shade of purple.
