Popsicles On The Porch

     Nothing says summer {well almost summer} like eating a sticky popsicle outside on a hot, Texas day! The kids love popsicles, so as an afternoon treat they each got one. They enjoyed every lick, and their smiles really made  up for the mess they made!

Mamas Helpers

     Every time I get an order for my Etsy shop, I have to ship it via USPS. To save time and money {aka gas}, I have started requesting package pickup since we don't have our own personal mailbox in front of our house. It's so convenient! The only negative is I can't schedule for it to picked up that same day. It always has to either be picked up the next day, or any weekday after. Today was one of those days where I needed to ship out a few orders and I hadn't scheduled package pickup. I usually dread going because I hate having to take Olivia out of the car for such a short trip and try and juggle sometimes multiple packages while keeping her at my side. Today wasn't one of those trips though because I had not only one kid with me, but two, and they were such good helpers. They carried the packages inside for me and were so happy to help!

Wildflowers

    Texas may be hot, but it sure does have the prettiest wildflowers! While we were at Connor's therapy appointment this week, Olivia and I were going to see the horses across the dirt road and we saw these beautiful flowers. I had to grab my camera to snap a picture and I am so glad I did.

Olivia's First "Fracture"

     I use " " because two doctors thought it was broken, but the orthopedic doctor doesn't seem to think it is even though we are treating it as one.

Here's what happened...

Memorial Weekend

 

 Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.
