Friday was Go Texan Day. The kids got to dress up in their western stuff. I got to leave work early - Yay for me! Alyssa pretty much got to have a "fun" day at school. They watched Pecos Bill and did some other Cowboyish stuff. She brought home the stick horse that they made over the past month and it hasn't left her side. She named her Bailey. :) This is also the name that she wanted to name the new colt to be born this spring but I don't think Vicki's going for that one. Jessica, on the other hand, did not have a "fun" day at school. It was business as usual.

On Saturday, we decided to do some spring planting. The whole family went to Houston Garden Center and the kids got to pick out some flowers for themselves. I got some new flowers for my hanging basket and Glenn picked out a couple of Cypress firs for the urns next to the pool.



Glenn worked all day Sunday, so I got the kids out of the house so he could have some quiet time to concentrate. We ended up going to the mall first, then to the 59 Diner for lunch and then to the movies out at the Cypress Cinemax to see "Coraline".....very strange movie. AND speaking of strange movies, we all watched "Mirrors" last night. Talk about strange. I still don't get it.

Josh - If you saw this movie, please explain it to me. :)

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am so far behind on writing on my blog and summer vacation is over and school has started!!!!!!! The girls and I went on vacation last week to Galveston Island and stayed at the San Louis hotel, which Jessica only just recently stopped calling it the St. Luis. Donna and Brianna met us there and stayed at the same hotel. The first day, we stopped off at the beach and built sand castles. The second day we went to Moody Gardens Palm Beach and the rest of the time we spent at the hotel pool which was just beautiful! Check out our you tube site at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BMsLX68qNM for the "Waterfall Video". School started on Wednesday this week for half days. Papa picked the kids up from school since Nana is still in Alaska......we really miss her!! She has been gone for 2 weeks and should be back by Tuesday morning. We went to "Meet the Teachers" this week and got to see which teachers Jessica was going to have

As of Sunday, I am officially the mother of a teenager. Wow! I can only hope that the next 5 years go as smoothly as the first 13 did. I can also hope that I don't get paid back for Glenn's wild teenage years. From what I understand, they were doozies!! We celebrated Jessica's big 13th birthday with a family party on Sunday. We had hoped that we would have had enough warm weather to warm the pool up for swimming, but it's been on the cool side during the nights and so the pool was no where near being warm enough to swim in. Well, except for crazy Alyssa who cannon-ba lled into the pool. Jessica got Band Hero for her birthday Alyssa loves to play guitar but even more than that, she loves to sing. I think this is her "Rock Band" face. One of the other things Jessica got for her birthday was a pitching net. Last weekend, we spent Easter at my sister's house and my girls hid Easter eggs for Ethan and Ryan. .......And last but not least......Meet the newest

We've Been Robbed!!

The girls and I got home today around 5:00 pm, pulled the car into the garage and then unloaded the groceries that I had picked up earlier. I left the garage door opened as I have every day since I can remember. Around 6:30, we heard tires screeching outside and both girls ran down the stairs to see what it was that was making that horrible sound. We went outside and saw the tire tracks on the street but no cars that we could see. About 2 minutes later, I got a call from Glenn on his cell phone and he said that he was chasing down a truck that had been in front of our house loading up the stuff from the garage! He lost them going into an apartment complex near the house. He said they looked pretty cruddy and they were in an old beat up white truck but he couldn't get close enough to get the license plate number. They stole Glenn's electric saw, his new weed eater and his leaf blower that wasn't working very well (too bad!). I am just so glad that he pulled up when
