When The B Man was a year old a friend of a friend took pictures for us at a park in Dallas. We paid her $20 for the session and paid to develop the film ourselves. Did you catch that? FILM!! Who’s ever heard of such a thing? HA! Since we are getting close to…
We Like to Live on the Wild Side
We’d planned a trip to Austin this weekend to see my pal Lisa but because I haven’t been feeling that well lately I pulled the plug on that idea and we stayed home. By the way, I promise to stop whining about how badly I’m feeling. Please don’t leave because of my complaining. It’s just…
Bloggy Holiday Card Exchange
A Mom Two Boys is hosting the Bloggy Holiday Card Exchange and so I present you with our card for this year. It features the wonderful pictures taken by Christina during this photo shoot. The one of the two boys together is my very favorite. You can click on it to make it larger… And……
The BEST Mail
I usually get the mail during the day. Lately The B Man likes to run out ahead of me and check for “catalogs” (which to him means ads for toys). Today we checked the box twice to no avail. By the time I thought of it again it was cooler and dark out and I…
Gratis Groceries!
Last night I POURED over photos of my boys with messy faces and food in their hair in order to find the perfect picture to post for the contest over at 5 Minutes for Mom in which you can win $500 in free groceries. It was SO much fun to take a stroll down my…
Good Buddies
Our good friends, Chandler & Claudia had their first son, Ethan, about 5 months before we had our first son, a.k.a The B Man. I was always excited to know that our boys would more than likely become good friends too. They don’t look a thing like brothers but I am pretty sure they’d be…
My Recent Zen Moment Ruined (or not!)
Tim was coming home late from work. The boys and I were lying on The B Man’s bed, surrounded by his 40 bagillion stuffed animals. I relaxed into the bed out of sheer exhaustion, from all the “running” I have been doing lately. Both literally and figurativelly. Behind me I could hear their breathing. I…
Memories of My Granny
Last week I posted a picture and a few words about my Granny and I promised more. Here’s the more… My paternal Grandmother, Annie Zahn Hosek, was born of Czechoslovakian immigrants and raised on a farm in South Texas. I am gonna guess from the day that she started talking she rarely stopped, except to…
Weekly Winners 10/5
September 29 – October 4 There may be a few too many pics this week and they are ALL from the trip we took down to the pumpkin patch on Saturday. By the suggestion of Tim’s grandparents we ventured out to a small town (practically in Oklahoma) to this great farm run by the the…
WW – Wordless OR Wordful… Whatever.
This is me and my paternal Grandmother, pictured 15 years ago after my final choir preformance as a senior in high school. I was so proud that she was there to hear me sing and see me “in action.” It was a first. My “Granny” hailed from a teensy town in south Texas and didn’t…
