Tired of the same pictures?

I sure was getting tired of looking at my blog and seeing the same pictures every time so i thought it was time to blog again. it's kinda wierd but it seems like all the pictures i take look alike and i was trying to figure it out, and bam. it came to me. it's the same three kids every time. that wasn't the hardest mystery of my life but i'm glad i got to the bottom of it. sometimes, it's hard to tell if the pics are new or old. oh well.

boy, it's been half a month since i've blogged and so this will be quite the update. b/c my life is just ultra exciting. let's start with going to brownwood!! i sure do love it there. i forgot my camera, which made me very mad so i don't have any good pics of the family but you know i love you. we had a good weekend there b/c dean was with me and it's impossible to have a bad weekend with dean.





now for the big news... now i hope everyone thinks i'm athletic with this next story. my dad and i walked/jogged from my mom's house to sarah's house, a little over 9 miles. some would call it 9 miles but as we girls know, we like to give ourselves credit for every stride. have to step over a rock, count it. have to go around a tire, count it. i do. i got two little blisters, one on each foot. it was the perfect day and the perfect company. who wouldn't want to spend 2.5 hours talking and walking with their dad? and the good news is, i haven't exercised since then. i guess i gave myself a little too big pat on the back. and wednesday, paul got to meet my daughter and he was sure nice to her. he gave her a back and neck rub b/c she seemed really stiff. she's very unflexible. she's my daughter all right. it was really good to see paul. he got to go to the park with us and eat lunch with us and a good day was had by all. ***side note to my mom. tell dad that we should get a group of us together and thanksgiving morning, we should make the fartlek in record time. under two hours.*** thursday was a big day for me. not only did anna turn 3, (happy birthday, anna) but i got treated to bahama bucks by my sister in preparation for my drive home. we decided that it may be only a three and some odd hours trip, but it's the hardest one you can make. that dallas traffic is crazy with three kids by yourself. i never drive b/c dean is always with me when we go places (the joys of having one car) so the drive was a challenge. ian loves to draw in the car and gets confused that i can't turn around a look at his masterpiece while in bumper to bumper traffic. but i made it home without a scratch and with a much renewed sense of accomplishment. which is rare for me.

time for a new paragraph, eh. uh oh. my baby just woke up. better post the pics so i can feed her. here goes a good 5 minutes. hope to blog again soon.
