The way I see it #21

So, My friend Katrina does this on her blog and I hope she doesn't mind me doing this one today!
I went to Starbucks and got a nonfat zebra mocha...delish...anyway, here's what the side of my cup said and I love it!

The Way I See it #21
People need to see that,
far from being an obstacle,
the world's diversity of languages, religions and traditions is a great treasure,
affording us precious opportunities to recognize ourselves in others.
--Youssou N'Dour

I sure hope I raise my boys to not see prejudices in others and to see the diversities as a wonderful thing.

recycle plant

Pflugerville opened their first ever recycle center last night with a tour and ribbon cutting. Of course we took our little recycle loving boy! He wanted to look in every bin and when it came time to cut the ribbon he got a front row spot and got to stand by the mayor. He was even offered a job!

Our city trash stopped taking glass and cardboard boxes, but this new place takes both! Now we will be recycling everything and making frequent visits to the Pflugerville Recycling Center!

no computer

Well, I have not had a computer in about 3 weeks now! so sad. We lost everything! ALL pictures too! :( so not happy about that. Luckily Craig backed them all up through this past March. The rest are still on the memory card!
But, that still means that we have to go in and re-create all the folders and download everything!
The boys and I have been very busy this summer and I have tried my best to take lots of pics! I'm working on all of this slowly! I just can't seem to find that much time to get it all redone!
I'll get to blogging again soon!

Weekend Away

Craig and I went to Riviera Maya, Mexico last weekend for our dear friends' wedding! We had a wonderful time and I especially loved being on the beach.

My mom "moved in" to our house for the 4 days and the boys got lots of Mimi time and Grandma time too. Drew is still talking about the things that he did with each of them. I didn't like being that far away for so long, and I don't know when that will happen again! I missed my babies so much. I wore a bikini for the first time since our honeymoon (6 yrs ago), and I looked pretty good if I may say so myself! Now, if I can just keep my tan going all summer!

pre-wedding beverages! :)

Is it Monday afternoon??

so, this is what the boys did after we got home from school/daycare today!

Dylan actually said "nigh-nigh" and Drew was barely talking at all! Now, if only Mommy could just lay down and be lazy!

Wordless Wednesday

Birthday cake....

Silly String

So, last Sunday after all of Dylan's party guests left, I looked up on our kitchen counter and saw 10 cans of silly string! I had bought them with the intention of letting all the kids go nuts in the backyard! OOPS! Well, I have to say that Drew was more than happy to have all 10 cans just for us. I honestly don't know who had more fun, the adults or the kids! Here are some shots we got. My brother, Pete, his wife, Devin, my Grandma, my mom, our friends, Brooke and Dustin and Drew's buddy Luke and his daddy were all still here. We were spraying each other and it was so much fun. My Grandma and mom even got in on the fun! Grandma thought it was funny to get me! hmm...

We still have some on our porch and in the grass! Despite the rain and sprinklers!

Dylan was not impressed! He was beyond ready for a nap!

look at all that string!
