draft weekend 2012



Friday night.  Playing after a little pizza.  I love all that is going on in this picture.  Hilarious.


The boys.  Hunter LOVED all of them.


We talked Abby in to joining the boys for a quick picture.  Yep.  My kid again with no clothes.


Luke especially loved Hunter and kept asking his mom if they could have another baby at their house!




Oh, draft weekend.  It happens the same time every year.  We all know it's coming and make our own plans while the guys lock themselves away for now almost a week long vacation.  Meanwhile we chase the kids around and try to keep them from killing each other....all while we try to stay sane.




No, really, it's a lot of fun and we girls go out and have some fun adult time too.  The kids always get along so well and the older they get the better they are and, honestly, more fun it is.  The moms have some time to catch up because the kids are entertaining each other.  It really is a fun weekend for everyone.

I can't believe I didn't get a group shot at dinner last night.  There's always next year!

Now it's time for a NAP.

first day - 2012

Today Abby started Pre-K.  She was pretty nervous walking out the door this morning.  
Abby is attending a new school this year and will be going three days a week.
I am excited about her teachers and her class.  I know it will be a great year for her!
I can't wait to get her home and hear all about her first day.

232 and 233/365


On Sunday, Abby and I went and got our toes done.  It was fun to spend alone time with my big girl before she starts school on Tuesday.  She loves to get her toes painted like her mom. 



232/365
Sunday night Bo and I had a date at Fearings in Dallas.  
It was a fun night out with grown people.  : )


233/365
Today the kids had a lemonade stand and sold some lemonade.
They actually made $6.00!  We weren't out there very long because of 
the heat, but we will be doing this again for sure!  The kids were hilarious
and had an absolute blast!

Yep.  Another black eye.  Not as bad as before but this kid is one tough cookie.


Makes this momma nervous!

bowling

The gang.  Oh my.


Try again.  Oh well.  Happy Friday!

We went with some friends to bowl this morning and just had a blast.  The kids all had fun and it was something new and different for them to try.  We will be doing this again soon!

lovey


228/365

As much as I tried to not have a lovey for Hunter he picked one on his own.  
I have nothing against them, but know how attached Abby is to hers and it concerns me a bit.

Hunter has never taken a paci, sucked his thumb, or slept with anything before.

But now we are in LOVE with "Hot Dog".  

Think I may be dragging this big lovey to MDO.
Lord help us.

Trying our best to enjoy the last week before Pre-K starts!

I can't tell if he is about to scream in this picture or is trying out a fake smile for the camera.

busy weekend!


Our weekend was full of more double fisting, 


more fountain playing, 


a little birthday celebrating, 


and a little Princess brunching!






We also met Abby's teacher tonight.  The Bain family had a great weekend and 
is ready for a new week!

happy birthday Reese!


Three years ago today...


....a little girl named Reese Catherine Rowe was born.


We all had some plans for her.


But the LORD had HIS own plans.


"She was just passing through...


....as if she had somewhere important to go."


Happy Birthday Reese.  We love you and thank the Lord for sharing you with 
us if only for a little while.  What a testimony your mom and dad are to so many.


We will see you one day sweet girl and celebrate your birthday with you!

Mmmmm.....donut holes??


One is not enough for me.


Back to the water.  One in each hand of course!


Don't know where she comes up with this.


This morning the kids and I had no plans so we headed out for donuts and to play in the fountains.  It truly was a blast watching them run around and play together.  They just laughed and ran all morning.  
It was fun to take the camera and capture some fun moments as they played!

Abby has been begging to try the cupcakes at Sugar Queen Cupcakes at Stonebriar Mall.  Today we were there so after we ate lunch I let her get one.  It was fun because she got to add as many sprinkles as she wanted AND stand in a "princess pink carriage" while she did it.  This girl was in heaven.
