Hayden and I helped celebrate his girlfriends birthday this week. We had the best time having lunch with Haley and her mom, Erin. I just love this picture of the two H's. I always joke with Erin saying we are arranging their marriage. They are cute kids and great buddies.
I am so sad about the explosion that occurred last night in West, Texas at a fertilizer plant. West is closer to Waco, but still close to Fort Worth. We passed through West many times traveling all over Texas. I have memories of eating pizza in West as a kid. I have memories of running a FunRun in west. I have sports memories in West. One of my bosses was from West. I went to WestFest many times. I loved stopping for Kolaches during our travels. Ahhhhh. It's just so sad. My heart hurts for the families that lost homes and loved ones.
My little sassy girl is killing me with her spring wardrobe. She is so stinkin' cute, but I am about to go bonkers. This girl will not stay in bed after we tuck her in at night. Every night she thinks of an excuse to get out of bed. I thought the older they got the better they followed the rules. Sheesh....
The number one reason for getting out of bed? I need another hug. HOW DO YOU DENY YOUR KID A HUG?? She knows the buttons to push huh?!
If I am hugged and tucked into bed you better bet I am staying. I'm so tired, I love sleep. Why do kids fight it? She will be 8 years old in July. I can't believe she is still getting out of bed. Gary and I are about to put our foot down and tough love is about to make an appearance. Go.To.Sleep.Sassypants!
We played at the park today before we got Layla from school. Ahhhhh! The weather was amazing and this city is greening up so fast! I love it!!!!
Hayden had soccer tonight. He got so red faced and I was hot at practice, but I will not complain. I loved it. I walked about 3 miles today and then ran a mile too. I don't know what has come over me. I haven't ran in YEARS. I've ran a total of 3 times since I moved here and I'm sorta liking it. I can't believe it, but now I want to beat my current one mile time. haha! I'm so competitive. I'm glad I have good running weather. Spring is here and I am thankful for all the outdoor activities we can do while soaking up the sun. Hopefully there won't be anymore snow!
We have the getting out of bed issue here as well. I did have to finally put my foot down and say no to the hug because it was just pure manipulation. Hard, but effective!
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad what happened in West. I think I'm still in shock.
ReplyDeleteHappy the weather is nice there because it wet & cold down here in SE Texas!!! At least I can still rock my boots!!! Happy Friday, hope y'all have a great weekend!!
I don't know what the deal is with kids & sleep. I wonder about it all the time. I promise you if my boss told me we had to take a nap everyday he wouldn't have to tell me twice!
