Fun Times


Our new-to-us car!
Yay-we are no longer a one car household.
It's been a fun 15 month challenge, but it will be nice to have a vehicle during the day now!
It's an '07 Suzuki sx4 with optional all wheel drive (better for our mpg!)
Simon likes the fact that the wheels say 'Hotwheels.'
The next 12 pictures are from the Dallas Arboretum. Simon was out of school two days last week, and on Tuesday, we went to the Arboretum. The weather was nice, even though the flowers are definitely lacking this time of year.
It was Matt's idea for me to go to the Arboretum.
I was half-crazy on Monday and he suggested
I just get out of the house with the kids the next day.
It was a great idea. I'm thankful for such a patient and understanding husband!
We spent most of our time in the old pioneer village there.
These pictures are from the inside of the chapel.
I forgot how much fun it is to walk and pick up Simon from school.
(When the weather is nice.)
Today my friend Kellie is over and I was able to walk by myself to get Simon while she stayed here and Evie slept.
Simon yelled at a man riding his bike, "HEY! I LIKE YOUR TATOOS. THEY'RE COOL!"
Simon is very friendly.
I remember feeling "crazy" this day.
By the next day I was normal and felt like I had a new lease on life.
Funny how those days come around every month .... :)
Our first spinach smoothies!
My sister in law Tania makes these all the time,
and I'm glad I finally got around to trying them!
Simon made this.
It is a .........
camera.
Simon made this.
It is a .........
monkey.
Our finished product - smores cupcakes!
Simon got to choose the dessert we made one night when our friends the Johnsons were coming over. 
We found this recipe in the Southern Living Cookbook my sister gave me for Christmas.
Unwrapping our chocolate for the cupcakes' centers.
Tonya Kelly - Simon loves this animal you gave him!

This is Evie sick.
We've had a rotating share of it.
Nothing too bad.
yes!!!!
When I first got the wii fit I was '48' but I'm already down to 32 years old!
I love the wii fit my mom and dad gave me for Christmas!
I never thought I would like a video-game accessory so much!
I think the little miis are so cute exercising and Simon and I have had a lot of fun with the different activities! I'll have to take some pictures of the screen every now and then with some of the 'funny' things it tells me!
