Yummy!

Katie and I have been dying to try out this new little place off of Lebanon and the Tollway called The Cupcakery. Boy was it a mistake stopping by today. I think I will now crave their cupcakes everyday. I guess this is the first store in Texas as the other two are in Viva Las Vegas. Anyway Katie got a cupcake called "Tickle Me Pink" and I got one called "Oh My Gosh something" Both were absolutely fabulous. They are pretty proud of their cupcakes when it comes to pricing them but well worth it every now and then for a treat.


Katie really getting into her cupcake!

Nice cupcake teeth!

Quick Update

Sorry it has been a while since my last post. Both Katie and I have been busy with our new daily schedules. Third grade is off to a great start for Katie. She adores her teacher this year and is already getting good grades on her work....no surprise there. I am enjoying my position as a special ed aide at Griffin middle school. The kids are sweet and I feel as if I am somewhat making a difference for those who have a hard time learning. Katie is still riding and loving it. Big plans to go to the barn this weekend if the weather will hold out for us. This crazy gusty wind was not kind to our riding plans for the week. Well, I said quick update so that is it!

Third Grade Already?

Today was Katie's first day of third grade. I seriously can not believe that she is in the third grade already. Her teacher this year is Mrs. Honderich and she is the best teacher! Katie also has a great class and knows alot of her classmates already. This year's first day outfit came from a little boutique in East Texas. I went shopping with my friends and saw it and thought of Katie right away. I think the outfit is very "Sharpay" from High School Musical. Here are some pictures from this morning.

Lakehouse Fun

Katie and I were invited to spend the night at the lake with the Damaske family on Friday night. We had so much fun. The weather started off rather rough....major rain all the way there...lots of water in the jeep (but that's another story). However, after a couple of hours the clouds moved off and we had a fun time on the boat enjoying the great weather. The kids had a blast riding on the water torpedo and the tube. Katie found a praying mantis (her fav bug) and provided everyone with lots of entertainment with it. After that we went for a ride on the golf cart and we saw a huge praying mantis...ok so it wasn't real but cool anyway! We had yummy grilled chicken for dinner and made smores out by the fire for dessert. Lots and lots of pictures were taken and it was so hard to pick the best ones....so here are alot of pictures.

Still Working On It

So I'm sorry that I have yet to post the circus pictures. I am still working on them. I didn't take my good camera...big mistake. I only took the little Nikon and the pictures were horrible because I couldn't really change alot of settings so they are dark and grainy! Drives me crazy. I have also been busy trying to get a job and I did!!! I am going to be working at Griffin Middle School in The Colony as an aide. Doesn't pay much but I am using it as a stepping stone this year to hopefully get my own classroom next year. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Anyway, Katie and I are going to the lake this weekend with Shay and the kids. Should be loads of fun and I am taking my good camera for lots of pictures. I also hope to do some improvements with the blog. Check out my new slideshow to the right of some of my favorite photos!!!

Just Pictures

So no big post here....just decided to put up some pictures that I have taken lately. I didn't really even pick up my camera for almost a month! I know some of you can't believe it but I just didn't feel like any picture I would have taken would have been good. I'm back now though! Katie and I are going to the circus tonight so be sure to look for a fun filled post tomorrow.

Girl Fun

What a fun day we had today. Katie had a playdate with her friend Haley from dancing. It was so great to see her again. We haven't seen her in so long! We had lunch at The Purple Cow and then the girls went swimming. Harrison (Haley's little bro) and Becky (Haley's mom) came over and joined us out by the pool. It was so good to hang out with friends that we haven't seen in a while. The fun is still continuing as Katie got the invite to spend the night.

The girls being crazy!
