This morning when I woke up in Corpus Christi my plan was to head to the beach. I have never driven my car on the beach so it made me a bit nervous. Before I headed out to the island I stopped by a tire store and asked them to check my tire pressure… just [...]
Every winter we have three plants that we bring in the house for a couple months. This year we didn’t bring them in and it was really hard on them. These plants are usually big and happy… but not lately. I have been putting off trimming them but today I just couldn’t stand looking at [...]
Angela and Jackie’s flight back to Florida was today at 4:00 pm so we had to squeeze as much in today as possible. Jackie said when she first got here that she wanted to see the San Antonio Riverwalk so that was our plan. First we went to pick up Molly so that she could [...]
This morning we woke up early and then Molly pick us up for a short road trip. We were headed to go explore the largest known commercial cavern in Texas. I have always thought it was off of I-35 in New Braunfels, TX but after looking it up I figured out that it is actually [...]
This morning we woke up bright and early to catch the earliest possible flight to Portland, OR. You would think it would be easy to get to Portland in the morning due to the time change… but it’s not. The earliest you can get there is about 1:40 pm. We usually take the flight that [...]

We celebrated Selena’s birthday early! Her birthday is actually on Thursday Thanksgiving Day so we had to celebrate a little bit early. Check out the awesome cake that I ordered for her. If you know Selena at all you know that he is ALWAYS on her iPhone so this cake design is super fitting. Er-ma-god! [...]
We had a late 9:30pm softball game today. Since it is Halloween week I wore my devil horns again this year. The devil horns must have been good luck because we won 16-0! Check out the super cute cupcakes that Selena made for us!
I wanted to say congratulations to Selena for surviving her first flight and her first vacation with me! Here she is early this morning at the airport… still in one piece!
Today we woke up and drank coffee. Jet didn’t seemed to interested in my BofC. Then we played with the horses for a little while. And headed to the beach! The Atlantic Ocean in Satellite Beach!! Angela was chillin. I ate the world’s best rice bowl in the world. And drew JP’s name in the [...]
Today JP and I got on a flight from San Antonio, TX to Seattle, WA. The reason we flew into Seattle instead of Portland is because we are going to the Seattle Seahawks vs Dallas Cowboys NFL game tomorrow. We bought some excellent football tickets a couple of weeks ago and have been waiting for [...]
Ever since the first day of school Lily has told me that she made a new friend named Nicole. I remember the first day I picked her up from school she handed me a piece of paper and said “This is Nicole’s address”… when I looked at it the paper it was 4 digits… that’s [...]
My friend Jennifer recently had her 6th child, a baby boy named Jose. So stinking cute, right? When I went to visit her today it was just her, the baby and Annabella at home. I just remembered that I posted about Annabella right after she was born about two years ago. It is amazing how [...]
It has been raining on and off for a few days now. The temperatures are in the 90′s but it is pretty wet outside. I got a text from Selena bright and early this morning asking what we were up to day. Naturally it seemed like today was meant to be girls day. So we [...]
This afternoon my friend Marianne brought her kids over to our house for lunch and some pool time. For lunch I made fish tacos and peel n eat shrimp with all the fixings. Then we headed out to the pool for some fun in the sun. Check out Lily’s mid-air pose. And Cody who is [...]
Today is the first time in 10 days that I am on my laptop. I was busy hanging out and having fun while Stephanie was in town. It was tough but I narrowed down the last ten days to a handful of pictures. Stephanie is a huge fan of the sun and the pool. She [...]
I did a search in the search box to the right for the name Stephanie and it pulled up 42 posts. This one here makes 43. Wanna know why I am so excited about Stephanie today? She lands at San Antonio International Airport at like 6:45 tonight… and is staying for 10 DAYS! Yes, 10 [...]
For as long as I have known Angela she has told us that she has some redneck in her. She likes to hunt and go four wheeling. The hunting part I will pass on but I told her I would go four wheeling. This morning we slept til about 10 and then went to meet [...]
I wanted to let you guys know that I won’t be blogging for a few days. I have a flight in a couple hours to FLORIDA!! If you plug the name Angela into the search engine on the right you can check out who I am going to visit. Last time she came to San [...]
You may have many friends, or only a few. But have you ever thought about who your true friends are? Some of the people I call friends are only acquaintances, not true friends. What is a true friend? I will tell you. It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. You do [...]
I have always been pretty good at keeping in touch with people from the past. I am always curious to see what direction people went with their life and what they have been up to. Anyone who has been in my life for a long time will remember Barb. I went back in my archives [...]
For the most part I am a pretty social person. I usually like to go places and do things with people when I get a chance, but lately I have been more of a home body. If I am not traveling I tend to like to stay in the peace and quiet of my home. [...]
Nothing is better than a nice fun Saturday adventure. Lily, JP and Corey were all game so we hopped in the truck and left home to find some fun. Our first stop was for lunch at Henry’s Puffy Tacos. If you are ever in San Antonio be sure that we take you here for lunch. [...]
I haven’t updated in a few days because I have been busy with visitors. Corey flew in from Michigan for the week. Stephanie flew in for a few days from Seattle, and Selena from here in San Antonio spent most of the time hanging out with us. It is hard to keep my site up [...]
After dinner Lily asked me if she could go across the street and see if Cameron was home. About 15 minutes later she came back and both her and Cam were holding their American Girl dolls. They played video games for a little while (with their dolls sitting next to them) and then they asked [...]
I was in Washington, DC from Saturday 12/3 until Wednesday 12/7 visiting my amazing friend Angela. I use the word amazing and I mean it but there are like a million other words I could use to describe her. She is one of the people that truly enrich my life. Her awesome friend Gina was [...]
We got back to the hotel around 8:00pm today. JP had some work to prepare for tomorrow and Lily was flat out tired. I called up my bestie Stephanie and told her to head downtown so that we could go out for a drink and some much needed talk time. What is with everyone always [...]
Usually I play softball on Tuesdays but the season ended a couple weeks ago. As you know my Sunday softball has also ended so you won’t hear me talking about softball again until the spring. Luckily JP is in town this whole week so he has been able to keep me entertained. We don’t usually [...]
We had our final night of softball as Not Them Again… Again today. The season consists of 6 weeks of regular games and then a 7th week for playoffs. We started the day in the #2 seed position and ended our day in the day in 2nd place. It is not a bad season [...]
A couple hours before our softball game I got a text asking me if I wanted to play in the softball game right before our game. I am not really one to pass on a softball game if I can help it so I totally said I was in. Multiple Scoregasms is a team that [...]
Every year Lily’s dad has a Halloween festival out at his work. Last year we dressed up as Batgirl but this year I decided to do a simpler costume and we were bunnies. We even had little fluffy tails on. Can you spot the 3 bunnies? Lily’s cousin Adeline was also there. Check out the [...]
After we made cookies it was time to carve some more pumpkins. It seems like the kids favorite part should be digging the guts out… but it’s not. They are both so funny. Say CHEESE, Cameron! This is the pumpkin that I did. I think drinking cause him to turn green and puke. It took [...]
I haven’t talked about softball on here for awhile so I figured I would share some info. We just finished our 4th week of play and our record right now is 4-0! Here is a picture of our entire team after this weeks win. From left to right: Rickey, Jimmy, Ari, Courtney, Jeremey, Matt, Jason [...]
I had amazing week last week while my friend Angela was in town. I made a few new friends and we made a lot of memories. I can be quoted this weekend saying “Do you know what I love about you guys? You make me feel like some of the things I do really are [...]
The last few days have been so much fun and kind of a blur. Can you believe that I have not taken a single picture with my camera? On Sunday we dropped JP off at the airport and Angela and I have been on our own. Here are a few of my favorite pictures taken [...]
Remember that rain that I told you about on Friday? Well it also happened on Saturday in other parts of town… maybe not at our house but definitely in San Antonio. This past Friday Selena went with me to pick up the t-shirts for our new softball season that was starting today. Our t-shirt this [...]
After everyone was tired from swimming and it was starting to get dark we headed back inside. I had everyone put on their pj’s and sat them down to eat. We had Subway subs, fresh veggies and chips. Adeline is never camera shy and so photogenic. Do you know the history behind a lei? Per [...]
Since tomorrow is Lily’s actual birthday I decided to take her and her best friend Cameron to lunch and Build-A-Bear Workshop today. Lily + Cameron = BFF’s! Me and Cameron. This is the little deserts that they had after lunch. Here they are about to get their bears stuffed. Did you notice the girl who doesn’t want to [...]
When I was a kid I was pretty lucky to have lots of kids to play with. Not including my brothers and sisters there were lots of kids in the neighborhood. Sure we had video games and television but it seems like we played outside a lot. We had so much to do at all times. We could [...]
A couple weeks ago I was sitting on the bleachers after a softball game and we where talking about you know what and you know who. After awhile Erin says to me ” I totally stalk CuriousDaisy”. I love love love it when people tell me that they read my blog! Then a couple weeks [...]
I totally took this picture from Beth’s blog today! How can you not love it! The message that daisies bring are of innocence, purity, and gentleness on behalf of both the giver and the receiver. The daisy’s message is, “You have as many virtues as this plant has petals,” or, “I will consider your request.” [...]
There is no better way to end a hot day then to hang out in the pool at home with your friends. Everybody say CHEESE! It never fails. The kids always love playing with the water proof camera. I had to show everyone my best… err, cannon ball? And after telling him it could NOT be [...]
Today we began a new season of softball as ”Not Them Again”. Sure if was Sunday afternoon and like 100º outside but we were ready for some ball! We started our season with a 18-4 win! Jimmy and I say CHEESE! After taking this picture Erin declared that she should be a professional photographer. Self portrait [...]
We spent our last full day of vacation with my sister Vanessa and her family. I was trying to decide between a few different things to do but eventually chose Greenfield Village which is next to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI. What is it you ask? This is what wikipedia says: The Henry [...]
It has been a few days since I wrote because I have been hanging out in South Haven, MI. I did lots of stuff and saw lots of people but I didn’t take a lot of pictures. In no particular order these are some of the things we did: Lily caught her very first frog [...]
A couple weeks ago I was going through a box of stuff and I found a cute little toy cabinet with a penguin on it. When I first saw it I knew exactly what it was but I wondered what I could possibly do with it. It is not very big… actually it is quite small. [...]
I have been meaning to share this with you guys for a couple days. Remember last week or so I made the stuffed shells? My friend Jen made them for dinner for her family. I can’t decide what is more exciting, the fact that I inspired her or the fact that she told me about it. [...]
I think I have told you guys before that I have not doing anything to chemically alter my hair in a long time. Seriously its been like 5 years I think. No bleach, no color… no anything! When your hair is all natural like that it is called virgin! Now I never said that I didn’t want [...]
My good friend Jennifer’s birthday was yesterday and since she had the day off it was the perfect day to have lunch and a pool party for her. When I originally planned it we were gonna eat lunch outside on the patio but then as I stood outside looking at the patio table as the [...]
After we came back from our walk it was time to eat breakfast and check out of the condo. JP, Lily and I had a lot of fun spending the weekend with Shauna, Brandon, Gage, Jaxx and Parker. I snapped this picture just before we left the condo for the last time. Shauna had a [...]
