Building For The Future, Conclusion
|
With just a few minor finishing touches remaining, we decided to hand the keys over to Jaxson to his new 'house.'
While buying a pre-made house would have been much easier, and required less sweat and blood (thank to a screwdriver attacking my thumb and leaving it's mark) - seeing Jaxson enjoying his new house was worth it. This is what it is all about...
Mr. Mom Goes To The Park
|
Thank God for parks. And I mean that.
Not sure when the first park was ever created or who actually created it, but God bless that person(s).
Having a place to let kids run wild, and remain relatively safe, is a great little present for moms and dads all over.
Not sure what I would do without them. A hyper-active 3-year old and a restless 6-month are not to be taken lightly on a lazy Sunday morning - especially with momma at work.
One More Coon Hanging On The Family Tree

Casey and Sam are the proud (and I assume extremely tired parents, due to a midnight showing at the delivery room) of Mr. Colt Casey Coon:
Vital Stats will come as soon as I can get a hold of them...
Building For The Future, Part One
|
Way past due for their first official 'playhouse,' the kiddos are in dire need of somewhere to call their own and to have a small piece of 'property' that they can do with as they wish and dream as big as they wish.
Being the stubborn individual I am (just ask my wife, she knows), I couldn'to settle on the typical plastic playhouse (for environmental and personal reasons), so I decided to take on the challenge of building a sweet little custom playhouse. Besides being able to spend some quality time with the Bambino in the garage with sweat, blood, power tools, wood, and some Texas music on the radio - this will be my practice run so when the inevitable tree house comes calling, I will be ready.
Now, if I can just find the time to wrap this up before Bambino's birthday in 10 days.
Working Hard Or Hardly Working

She decided to take the laid back approach during our Saturday morning stroll through River Legacy Park.
At Home Bounce House
|
Cheap thrills are hard to come by sometimes, and when you do discover one, typically you come across it by mistake.
Case in point. Setting up for a good little family movie night, the living room floor is cleared and a semi-inflated air mattress is inserted as our point of rest. The Bambino, and all his glorious energy, decides to take a running leap while Miss Belle is just hanging waiting for the movie to begin.
Bingo...impromptu in-house-bounce-house. McGyver would be proud:
On Point At Chef Point
|
Kicking it at Chef Point, the gas station housed hole-in-wall restaurant, on Sunday after church with Boo and Pops.
If you haven't been or heard about Chef Point Cafe...GO!! You will not be disappointed, you will be very pleased and very full when you leave.
Success Is Spelt P-O-T-T-Y
|
Happiness comes in all packages.
The Bambino has crossed yet another crucial milestone of epic proportions.
No more damn diapers.
With his successful 'deployment' and completing his p-training over the weekend, he was awarded with a trip to Target to get any toy he wanted. We made him a promise that when he successfully pulls a full-load in the restroom, he would get his trip to Target. He made mom and dad REALLY happy when he picked out the $9 toy car-hauler.
This day has been a LONG time coming with MANY unsuccessful attempts. I am thinking (hoping and praying actually) that he has taken that next crucial step.
Kids Galore

Connor, Jaxson, Annabelle, and Gracie.
One for the ages.
In case you are wandering, Annabelle is not fallling over, she's doing yoga.
Circus Freaks Only, Not For Weak Of Heart
|
The definition of 'Circus' should read:
A group of individuals whose lone goal in life is to suck/ scam every last dime out of children's parents wallets. Also know as 'Greedy Punks'.
I am sure the $12 cotton candy (came with a hat) and the $9 lemonade (which my wonderful wife refused to buy-thank you dear) are the best ever - being the Ringling Brothers circus is the greatest show on earth, but the $22 plastic-spinning-light-up-and-break-two-weeks-from-now gadget was crossing the line (which my wife also refused to buy, even though it sent my oldest into a fury rarely seen in these parts).
Hey, at least he got to see some tigers.
Beautiful

This will put a smile on even the toughest of the toughest.
Gotta give momma the credit for snagging this photo. Nice work.
