Future things I would like my Daughters to know.....and my Son too!

My Last Weekend of 2011

My Year ended on a Great Note.  Friday Morning I picked Bailey up from her slumber party. 
This is her about an hour after we got home.......

It looks like somebody can't handle staying up until 1:30am.......  It was time to start packing and getting ready to head to the Deer Lease for the Weekend.  Kinley has been going to the Deer Lease since she was 3 weeks old.  It's like a second home to her and she was happy to be there.

                                         especially when the marshmallows came out

The next day we decided to go for a hike.  We've been on this lease for years and never walked up the Mountains.....not really....they're just hills, but my calves beg to differ.    I knew the place was Beautiful, but it's a whole new Beautiful from the top.

We found several cactus patches at the top.  This one was pretty cool.  It was shaped like a Heart and was just a little taller than all the rest in it's patch.

My Bailey Girl

Colton and Klay kept running ahead of us, but I did manage to catch him for a picture. 

After that the day consisted of Wal-Mart, Sonic and a trip to the Fireworks stand.  The Kids wanted to go Ice skating so we loaded up around 5:00pm and headed to downtown Fredericksburg only to find out that the rink had closed at 2:00pm....We were bummed until we started walking back towards the car and saw a horse and carriage sitting by the curb!!!! YAY!!!!! We didn't hesitate to Jump on.  It was really nice.  The Weather was perfect and the lights in town were Beautiful.

After looking at the lights, we headed back to camp.

We ended the night with Burgers and fireworks.....We didn't make it until midnight.

Me and My Sister in law, Mary

Me and My Bailey Girl....I had to go Black and White b/c she had food on her face :)

Does she have fun written on her face or what!

Half off Holiday gowns :)

I hope everyone has a Blessed 2012!!!

Happy New Year!!!

A Great ending to a Great Day!

We have had a full day of nothing but kid fun! First Build a Bear, then Bailey was off to her Slumber Party.  She was Super Excited about spending the night with her Two Best Friends, Emily and Hannah.  You would have thought that they hadn't seen each other in years the way they greeted each other with Big Hugs and Laughter.  My Little girl is growing up.



You can't see it but she has her Guitar strapped to her back. 

 What's a Slumber Party without a little entertainment.



Kinley really got a kick out of Baby Chloe (Emily's baby Sister)

She couldn't get enough of her.

The Girls all had gifts for each other.  Emily gave them Really Cute Personalized Pillows.

Here they are with their new Peace Best Friend necklaces

Since Bailey was going to be gone for the night, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for Colton and me to have some quality Mother, Son time.  We NEVER get that!!!!  We decided to go to the movies and see the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie.  Right as I was about to leave, my husband mentioned that we should check out the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema which is only 5 minutes away.  I always forget it's there so we have never been, so we headed that way.



If I can help it, we will never go anywhere else.  Loved this theatre.  No lines to get popcorn....you just sit in your seat and place your order.  It can't get much better than that!!!! 

I can't believe I'm just now experiencing this!

I couldn't have asked for a better Date!

The Movie was Great and so was my little Boppy!!! 

I love you "Baby" Boy!!!

Build a Bear

When Colton wrote Build a Bear Gift Card on his Wish List for Santa, I was a little surprised.  This is the kid who only thinks about the Deer Lease, wearing his Cowboy Boots and seeing what all he can get into without getting caught.  I must say, I like the "softer" side of him when it comes out.  Colton and Bailey both got Gift Cards for Christmas so we decided today would be a Good day to go since they're still out of School.  Honestly, I think I'd rather stick a thousand needles in my eye than go to Build a Bear on a weekend.  The Kids were really excited last night about going today and when I opened my eyes this morning, all three of them were in my bed watching me.  That's a pretty nice way to wake up.  I was sooooo tired, but I drug my butt out of bed and we all got dressed and headed towards the mall.  BEAUTIFUL Day to go to the Outdoor Mall.  We walked into Build a Bear and the excitement took over.  They didn't know where to look first.  I directed them to the crazy amount of limp Bears on the wall and they started the decision making process.

  Of course, I was trying to get them more for their Money, so I suggested they get a Simple Bear and then really dress it up. NOPE!!!  Bailey couldn't decide between a Bear that looked like it had confetti all over it and a cupcake in it's hand or Hello Kitty!  Hello Kitty Won!!!  Colton couldn't decide between the Camo Bear and a Blue snowflake Bear.....I had no opinion on these two except they would both clash with anything you try to dress them in.  He decided on the camo Bear and just when it came time to stuff it, he changed his mind and went back and got the blue Bear.  Surprising choice, but whatever.
                               

    Sorry Camo Bear but you're about to be traded.  

Time to stuff the Bear.  Foot on the Pedal and the stuffing goes in.

(By the way, I know all of you Mom's know how this works, but I'm going into a little detail for the sake of the Grandparents that read my blog and might not know)

o.k. so here's where it got a little corny.  I'm all for picking a heart to go inside your Bear, but is it really necessary for a Seven year old to have to go through the whole "Love your Heart" ritual.  Seriously,  Kiss the heart so it knows you love it, Rub the heart so it knows you care, Rub the Heart on your nose for God's sake so your Bear always KNOWS where you are.  FOR REAL!!!!  I'm all for that with a little kid, but Bailey was getting pretty tired of pampering this Heart.  All she was thinking about was accessorizing this Bear.  I couldn't BEAR to watch Colton go through this whole thing too, so I walked off and started looking at accessories myself.  Sorry Colton!

I love when my Baby Boy is being Sweet! 

So Much to choose from!!!!!

Bailey is going to a sleepover tonight so naturally she was looking at all the pajamas and sleep accessories. 

Colton went straight for the Cowboy accessories.  Gotta have some CowBear Boots....Get it, COW BEAR!!!!! I know, corny, but that's o.k.   It's fun to be a little corny sometimes! 
Colton thought it was funny!!!

Time to make the Birth Certificate.  Bailey named her Hello Kitty,  Emily Hannah Kitty. 

 This is after her two Best friends.

Colton named his Bear Colton, but is going to call it Colt for short....so original!!!!!

Time to check out. 

They both had $45.00 on their gift card.  Colton went over by $12.50 and was more than happy to pull out his new wallet and hand over the extra cash. 
That money had been burning a hole in his pocket since we got there.

As soon as we walked out of the store, we found the nearest bench so the kids could dress their new friends.

Meet Emily Hannah Kitty complete with panties, a bathrobe and house shoes.

and here we are with Colton (THE BEAR) sporting a brown felt Cowboy Hat, a White Buttoned down collared shirt, jeans and a pair of Brown Cowboy.....I mean cowbear Boots.

After that, we met up with Greg for lunch at B.J.'s

where Kinley discovered Cheese Sticks. 

Kinley got several cute outfits for Christmas and I want to make sure she gets them worn before she grows out of them.  She grows like a weed.

This outfit came from Aunt Mary and it wouldn't be complete without the Shiny, Black Squeaky shoes.  She LOVES them!!!!  She takes as many steps as she can possibly take just so she can hear them squeak.  They were a big hit in the restaurant!!! 

I had a GREAT time with my little lovies today. 

 I think I might actually be a little sad when School starts back up.
