My little Munchkins at La Cantera... The Poteet Strawberry Festival..... House

Jaxson and Kendall

Chann rode the bull!

I feel that I am growing as a woman and a mother. Why? Because I took both my children to the Shops at La Cantera ALONE. That may not sound like much to some of you super moms, but to me, it was a major accomplishment! Especially since I was shopping for my New York dress! Here we were, walking through Dillards, Nordstrom, and yes, even Neiman Marcus (not a usual hangout for me- much less with kids!) with my heavy duty double jogger, and let me tell you- those places are NOT made for double strollers! I felt like the Beverly Hillbillies came to town! I am whispering to Channing "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING! NOTHING IS FOR SALE!". And she is yelling out "WHY IS NUFFIN FOR SALE MOM???!!! THIS IS PRETTY!" Not to mention, I had to flag people down to hold doors open for me everywhere I went. But all in a all, a very fun day and they did great. PS- I thought I was going to be an "ebay power seller" to help make up for all the money I have spent this month. WOW- e-bay is kind of a pain! Some day one of my money making schemes are going to work out!

Then, the next day, because we are SUCH GREAT PARENTS, we loaded them up again and took off to the Poteet Strawberry Festival, which turned out to be torture. Sounded like fun... but it was 95 degrees and PACKED with people. You couldn't get a drink, food, "nuffin", because the lines were so long! We are glad we can say "been there, done that". If we go again next year, it will be EARLY in the morning, before the south Texas heat rears its ugly head! The fun part about the day was that we hung out with some friends Paxton works with, and they have a little girl only 3 weeks older than Jax. It was so cute to watch him with his new girlfriend. Speaking of Jaxson, he is standing on his own for a few seconds at a time, and it also saying "Mama", "Dada", waving and saying "bye bye", and "giving me five". He is also, however, crying if I leave him with ANYONE for more than 5 minutes. We leave for NY in less than 3 weeks.... YIKES!

Our house is looking AWESOME, but moving along rather slowly. I think our high pitch is making it a little more complicated, but we're not in a big hurry, so it's okay. I'm just so excited!
