Faux Hawk



Saturday we celebrated my Dad's 60th birthday with a surprise party. It was really fun. We had mexican food from his favorite restaurant, Flores, and even margaritas. Dad was really surprised. He said he had no idea. I'm actually quite impressed that between my sister, mom and I, none of us spoiled it.

Of course I had to include a picture of Clarke and his super cute outfit and faux hawk. He was happier than he looks in the picture.

Cool Mom Points

The Mom's group that I'm involved with from our church met at Chick-fil-a today for lunch and to let the kids play on the play ground. Afterwards, we drove over to a park in the same shopping center. When we got there, we realized there was also a splash park that none of us knew about. So, we de-clothed the kids and let them run around naked in the fountains. I think they had a blast. At least Clarke and Elliot did. I think I get a few cool mom points for the impromto naked water fun.

Elliot loved when the fountains would come on in his face.


Clarke checking out the fountain.


Clarke just being cute!!!

As for the rest of the summer, it's been busy and fun. Clarke is crazy. He's a hyper almost 17 month old. He runs every where he can. He usually doesn't have a plan in mind, he's just running for the sake of running in open space. So, I get a work out trying to keep up with him!

We've been back and forth to Little Rock a couple of times. They've, for the most part, been quick trips for various reasons. We'll be going back a couple of more times in the next couple of months for Daniel's HS reunion and for the birth of our niece, Grace Elizabeth. We're excited to meet her!

I'm up to teaching 6 classes a week now. I love it. I get to teach 2 spin classes, 2 bootcamp classes and 2 pump & jump classes. It's really the perfect job for a stay-at-home mom. It's one hour at a time. You get your workout in, and there is a day care with some really nice ladies to take care of the kids for the hour. Plus, I've made some really great friends with kiddos about the same age.

Daniel and I both have our high school reunions this year. I'm actually looking forward to both of them. I think they are going to be fun. I can't wait to catch up with some of my friends from LHS.

Sorry for the lack of postings. As usual, I'll try to do better. However, that's about all I can say...I'll try :).
