Pumpkin Patch with Jilly

Jillian and I went to the Dallas Arboretum with her Pre-school today!
The wonderment of childhood!
Climbing and concentrating!
I tried to be fancy and tilt my camera like I've seen others do but I think I tilted too much!
Precious face
Laying in the pumpkins!
I asked her to smell this big Mum and she said that it was "fake"!
must not have smelled that good!
She loved the Marigolds!
Innocent sweety!
The Hay Maze
Sunshine feels good!
Jilly and Brett- (his Mom & I joke about them marrying someday! LOL)
Love this look!
Big grin!
Bigger Grin!
It was busy at the pumpkin patch as you can see in the background!
Running thru the hay maze!
Sweet pose!
Climbing the pumpkin structure!

We sure had fun today!

Our Visit!

We were thrilled to learn that Grandaddy and Grandma Jan were coming to TEXAS!! They arrived on a Wednesday for a 6 day stay in the Great State of TX! They headed up to Sherman upon arrival to visit with Grandma Jan's sister and family and stayed til Friday morning! I kept the kiddos home from school Friday as I wanted them to spend as much time as possible with their Grandparents!
As you can see...The kids were over-joyed to be with their Grandaddy!
We looked at all the latest scrapbook pages!
We went to Restland to visit Grandma Sylvia's Grave.

Jillian and Grandaddy!
We enjoyed spending time with Grandma Jan and Grandaddy-- Time went too fast! The kids so need these experiences with loving Grandparents-- We had a fun 10 hours of bonding!

Restraint


I really would love to go shopping! Not window browsing but 'go buy things' shopping!! I LOVE going to Target or Lowes or Sam's Club and I would love to go there and not have to use RESTRAINT! New clothes or stocking up on tons of groceries or home improvement stuff that I need-- I just got this itch to buy stuff-- BUT I CAN'T!!! And that pretty much sucks! :) I know there are much more important things in life than to Shop -- It's just that the shopping I'd love to do is actually stuff that we really NEED not just want! Anyhow, I just thought I'd vent!

Dad's Night at Jillian's preschool



Recently Dave and Jillian had a special Daddy/Daughter time together when the Day School hosted "Dad's Night". Jillian was really excited because she had made some special things at school just for the night! All the kids had made a DAD! The Dad's were all displayed-- Dave said that it was really funny because--All the Dad's except Jillian's Dad were smiling! Jillian's Dad had a big scowl on it's face! Jillian also answered a funny survey about her Dad.
She gave the following answers...
My Dad's name is...David.
He is ....6...years old.
His favorite food is....hamburgers.
His favorite drink is...water.
My favorite thing to do with Dad is... go to church.
My Dad's favorite TV show is... Police shows.
His favorite sport is... Football.
He works... Police officer.
Dave enjoyed singing "Jesus Loves Me" and "Where is Dolphin?" (sung to Where is thumbkin?" They decorated a picture frame together for an art project! Dave was given a painted footprint of Jillian's with a poem that reads...
"Walk a little slower, Daddy,
Said a little child so small.
I'm following in your footsteps,
And I don't want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they're hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all grown up,
You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who'll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower Daddy,
For I must follow you.


They had a great Dad's night! Both Daddy and Jillian were smiling ear to ear when they came home!

Need Batteries to Blog


I'm dying to blog our trip to the State Fair. My camera's batteries died while Dave was taking my picture while sitting in my "dream" mini-van at the auto show at the fair. I had just taken Dave's picture while he sat in the driver seat of a Dodge Viper! Yeah--- His DREAM and my 'realistic' DREAM are quite opposite! LOL -- anyhow, Sorry to my blog friends who check on me only to see the same last blog entry. Hopefully early in the week I'll have fresh batteries so I can get the pictures out of my camera and onto my blog! OH and FYI-I haven't been doing too good with WW core but I DID lose 2 pounds this week. yippee!
