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 [...]

Today we packed up our stuff and headed to the beach for a long weekend of fun in the sun. We are renting a condo down on the Gulf of Mexico on Mustang Island in Port Aransas, TX. Our condo is full water view and only steps from the beach! We are sharing the condo with my dear friend [...]

Today Sarah’s childhood friend Kris drove down from Dallas to spend the evening with us. It has been a long time coming but I finally found a girl who is more sarcastic than I am. If you can’t take a joke we are not the people you want to hang out with. I loved it! [...]

My sisters best friend Sarah has a confrence here in San Antonio next week. She booked her travel to come into town a few days early and spent some time with us. We were all hungry so we headed to a restaurant down the street. Sarah and I say CHEESE! Since she was in Texas Sarah had to have some [...]

We hung out in the pool until it was time to get ready for Lily’s volleyball game. I have no idea why they schedule games for 4:00 in the afternoon on a Saturday but that was this weeks game time. Here is Me, Teylor and Shauna getting ready to go. We clean up pretty well, [...]

If you have been reading this blog for any amount of time you already know that one of our favorite ways to spend the weekends is in our pool hanging out with friends. There is always so much laughter, fun and good times. That is exactly how our Saturday afternoon was spent! Here is Teylor, Shauna, Gage, [...]

This morning we woke up and decided to make a delicious breakfast. While me and Shauna started cooking Lily and Teylor made a puzzle together. We made french toast, sausage and eggs. I love love love coffee! Especially out of my favorite coffee mug! And we also had some very tasty mimosas. We even made virgin mimosas for the [...]

Shauna said that she wanted to see some San Antonio landmarks and since I had already shown her the “World’s Largest Cowboy Boots“ we decided that downtown was the place to go. Here is my gang waiting for the elevator in the parking garage. The first place we went was my favorite Mexican restaurant Casa Rio on [...]

My good friends Shauna and Gage are staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Houston, TX for a few weeks so that Gage can get some treatment that is not available in the Seattle area. He has treatments every day Monday through Friday so they are only available on the weekends. After I dropped off [...]

A few months back I was standing in the BBQ sauce aisle in my local grocery store. I was trying to pick out a new BBQ sauce to use with that nights dinner.  Since we live in Texas which is the self-proclaimed BBQ capital there are many many sauce options. Decisions, decisions. There was a [...]

Yesterday we took Stephanie and David to the airport and they headed back to Seattle. Amanda has decided to stay a little longer and spend some time making decisions. I haven’t taken many pictures in the last two days but when I looked back at the photos from this weekend I realize just how much I [...]

Today my other bff Stephanie and her boyfriend David came to spend the weekend with us.  By the time I got home from work JP had already picked them up from the airport and they were at my house waiting for me. These are three of my favorite girls! Amanda, Stephanie and Lily. Since Stephanie doesn’t [...]

Today we took Amanda out to dinner so that she could try crawfish for the first time. For anyone who hasn’t tried it it’s pretty freakin good. One very important thing is to order beer along with it because they are spicy! We ordered the family order that came with crawfish, sausage, potatoes and corn. Amanda says “Eat [...]

We  had our 2nd game of the spring SSC season today. We had a 9:30pm game and won! Here is “Not Them Again”! Our record is now 1-1. Besides the actual game one of my favorite parts of playing softball is hanging out with my friends afterward. Here is me and Jen! And me, Jen, [...]

This is the only picture I took today. It’s a picture of what I did today to amuse myself while I sat through Lily’s volleyball practice. As you guys know I love to take pictures. I usually use my camera but sometimes it is easier to use my cell phone.  I looked and as of today I have [...]

My first full day in Florida was a lot like I expected it to be. It sure is warm and sunny there. The heat is a different kind of heat than I have ever been in before… very humid! I was lucky enough to be able to go out on a boat for a pub crawl.  Sonia, [...]

We woke up this morning and were on the road by 9:00am. This was by far the longest leg of the trip. Check out this cool race car truck we saw. And once we got out of Louisianna we hit Mississippi and then on to Alabama. I took this picture of downtown Mobile. Then we [...]

We lived through night #1 of the road trip! The plan was to walk around, buy a couple souvenirs and get at least half of the rest of the way to Florida. First we played around by the statues. Then we went out to lunch. I have never tasted crawfish as good as these guys [...]

Today was a sad day for South Texas but the very beginning of an awesome long weekend for Angela and I. I took us about 8 hours after leaving San Antonio to hit New Orleans. We had a hotel room at the beginning of the famed Bourbon Street. I pulled this information straight from wikipedia. “Though [...]

In the past I have told you guys a lot about my softball teams. I post a lot of team pictures but I never really post any action shots. If action shots are what you have been waiting for today is your lucky day! We have played our asses off every week for the last 6 [...]

Today we went to La Cantera and walked around. I checked out the new spring line of Coach purses. I drooled over the ridiculous amount of sundresses in stock (I need to start sundress season again soon). I tried on like a million different pairs of sunglasses. For the last month or so I have [...]

We had our 4th game of the season today. After tonights game we are 3-1! This is what it looks like inside our dugout sometimes.  And here we are right after the game. Here we are making fun of the goofiest super hero lovin person we know. And just hangin cause that’s what we do. [...]

I played in a couple softball games today but I totally slacked on the picture taking. Here are some the cupcakes that I brought to the game with me. Yes, they are from Target! Like I said I snapped less than 10 pictures today. Here is Jimmy at 3rd. Michael telling us how it should be. [...]
