Just A Bit of Fun

March 1, 2020

We try really hard to add some fun to our weekends. This past weekend we had a women’s conference that my daughter and I did a bible journaling session. We managed to spend Friday and Sunday doing some fun outside play in the backyard. It was beautiful all weekend.

I love it when Jenni captures their “real” smiles. You know, the pure, unstaged smiles that you get when they aren’t “trying” to smile for the camera. At this point, they have those forced, fake smiles OR they are doing their silly faces or what I like to call the snap-puppy-face. I believe SC has ruined out children of ever taking a picture without the urge to stick out their tongues in hopes that a puppy tongue will show up in the picture instead of their own! These two kids love each other SO MUCH! They aren’t always nice to each other but they do take care of each other.

Since we had Friday to get things ready for the conference, we also had some extra time with the kids. Our FAVORITE place to eat is Chick Fil A, hands down. The kids always want to eat there after church on Sunday’s but we tell them they aren’t open. I respect that so much! I hope they never change. We went home after lunch and played out in the backyard with the dogs for quite awhile. I’m looking forward to more warm weather so we can do more. Sad part is, when it rains, it makes the backyard muddy and we can’t go out there until it dries out

ONLY in Texas could the weather change so much in just a day that you could actually play in the water outside on the first day of March! I’m not sure why she didn’t get any pictures of the grandgirl in the water but she was out there in her suit, too. They didn’t play in it very long, maybe 15 minutes, but as you can see, it was fun. It truly was a beautiful weekend.

Her favorite thing to do outside is play with Roxie. This girl loves her animals. Roxie is turning 2 this month and she has been such a joy to our family. She’s big and fluffy and full of love. She’s the only one that has more energy than the grandgirl. If you are ever looking for an Australian Shepherd I know THE BEST breeder around, Tanner Hill Farms. Check them out and tell them I sent you. She really takes special care to breed the best of the best. And she knows her stuff.

I’m glad we were able to get so many great pictures this weekend. These kids are growing up so quickly and I want to be able to look back and remember these fun times just playing.

What is your favorite pet that you have had in your life? I grew up with dogs and Roxie is my newest. We have another dog but she is very old. When she goes, I know we are going to need to find a friend for Roxie. I should probably do that BEFORE our other dog isn’t around. I think Roxie will mourn the loss. Tell me about your pets!
