Reunion Ranch...


This year, Daniel's company picnic was at Reunion Ranch, about 5 miles from our house! In years past, the events have been at Sea World, Fiesta Texas, and other places that are a longer drive so we appreciated the very short commute this year!

The Ranch had a completely different feel than a large amusement park, but it was so fun and I think all the kids really enjoyed themselves. Katherine kept saying how that was "the best place ever!" She wished she could live there she said...

There was a lot of fun activities, like horse riding, rock climbing, a large playscape with zip lines for the kids, tepees, paddleboats, relay races, basketball, BBQ, icecream and Snow cones, and more! The kids really seemed to have a blast and it was very nice not to have to wait in long lines to ride a ride with small kids. Plus it was nice not to have to worry about the kids running off since we had the whole park reserved and there was a large green field the kids could run on, so we didn't have to worry too much about them getting lost. The weather couldn't have been any nicer either and overall it was just a great evening out!

Here are few pics...(sorry if they seem a little fuzzy...I didn't realize the camera was on a low quality image setting until we got home).

Katherine on the Zip Line...she loved this!-

Daniel and Matt on the Zip line...this is my favorite picture of the day! They were going so fast that I didn't think it would even show up but it looks so neat how the trees are still moving but they're faces aren't completely blurry:)

Katherine climbing the rock wall...she did this at least 3 times! She loved it!-


Katherine riding the horse...she loved being able to ride and steer the horse all by herself! The horses would follow each other in a line, but the kids had to kick the horse to make it go and pull back on the reigns to make it stop. She learned how to steer the horse out of the bushes one time too...:)

Christopher could have spent the whole day/night playing with balls...I think he will be a sports boy! (At the library this morning, he blurted out "Baw" (i.e. ball) in a loud voice and started running. I was wondering what he was talking about until I noticed the world globe sitting on top of the bookshelves. Smart kid! Good thing it was too high to reach:)




Here's a family picture from the day...

Oh and these pictures don't relate to Reunion Ranch, but they are from a Dinosaur park the boys and I visited this past week. They loved digging in the sand looking for dinosaur bones, climbing on the rocks, and having a picnic lunch at the park.

Old Navy Coupon!!

Wahoo...I don't know if I've ever been more excited about a coupon before! Lately, I've been following a lot of neat money-saving blogs to see if I could cut our grocery budget down from about $1,000 a month and I'm proud to say that I've done that this month and cut it down to $400...more than HALF! That's partially why I haven't posted blogs in a while because this definitely keeps me busy, but I guess is well worth it! I use to just clip a few coupons, head to the store, and be so excited when I'd save $15-20 in one trip. (If you're interested in knowing the money-saving blogs I follow, let me know and I'll forward them to you!) Anyways, OldNavyWeekly.com hides several coupons on there each week (usually reloads on Thursdays) and a big coupon on there is $75 off $100 purchase. I tried last week to get it and even stayed up til 2 a.m. trying, but no luck (I really enjoy the challenge:). Last night, I tried at 8 p.m. and found they reloaded...

Whew...what a week/end!

This past weekend my brother got married in Indiana and we had a great but exhausting time. Who would have ever thought that taking a weekend trip to see your brother get married would be so much fun but even more exhausting? Well this was the kids first airplane trip and they enjoyed it! We left Thursday evening after Daniel got home from work to drive to Houston so we could fly out from there on Friday morning. We ended up getting to Houston around 9:30 p.m. and didn't get to bed until 10:30 and we had to be up at 3:45 AM on Friday to catch our 6 a.m. flight. I couldn't sleep Thursday night for fear that I would miss the alarm clock so I tossed and turned all night. Plus we were all pretty excited so that made it even harder to sleep. I was thinking the kids would wake up pretty grouchy at 3:45 but to our amazement, they were up and excited and ready to go. They didn't even go back to sleep in the car! When we got to the airport, I realized we had a few pitied eyes looki...

6 years...

So it's January 19th...our anniversary! I can't believe we've been married for six years. In some ways it seems like we've been married such a loooonngg time, but in other ways it feels like we're still dating. Nevertheless, the past 6 years have been great, even as I remember the challenges we've faced together. I think they've just made us stronger. I can honestly say that after 6 years, we have never had a fight where both of us were angry and yelling at each other...like the movies. Thank the Lord! There may have been times where we weren't just soo lovey dovey with each other, or may have said things that weren't nice, but for some reason we seem to get over it quickly and move on. I'm thankful for Daniel and how loving he is towards me and his consistency in showing love to me no matter what. After 6 years, 3 kids, 4 apartments, 1 house, 1 dog, and 3 cities later, I'm so blessed to have Daniel as my husband!
