First Day in the Pool

Yesterday, I let the girls get in the little pool for the first time this summer, first time at all for Bethany. (I ordered her suit the other day, so haven't gotten it in yet. She wouldn't fit Raegan's old suits.) Bethany didn't seem to really love it or hate it, she just sat there, getting splashed by Raegan! And Raegan could hardly stand to not splash real big, so after I let Bethany sit there a little, I took her out, so Raegan could go wild!

Luv, Luv, Luv this quote...had to share today's Heartlight Quotemeal...

Some of the odd places I find our cat, Sammy...

(How do you rotate photos, once they're uploaded??!)



And I would've had more, but some got ruined or deleted. And some I never took pictures of include....on our bed, in Bethany's crib, on Raegan's bed, in the baby bouncer, on top of the back of the recliner, on top of my exercise bike, on a dining table chair, in the closet, in the bathtub, in the storage bin under the baby bassinet, and the list goes on.....CRAZY Cat!!

I haven't blogged in a while, because I have literally been obsessed with couponing in my free time! But I thank God, this week there's not much I'm interested in buying! LOL So I had to take some time to mention some of the funny/cute things Raegan and Bethany have done lately!

The other day on the way home, we were listening to a "Malt Shop Favorites" CD because my favorite radio station had discussion on...and the song from Lion King came on. And being the dorks that we are, we started singing along and dancing away. Well, I heard Raegan in the backseat, so I quit so I could hear her. And she's singing, "a window up, a window up. A window up, a window up..." LOL It was too funny. So now we have a new song at our house!

I started Bethany on solids last week (Green Beans were her lucky first food). Not sure if she didn't like the taste or the texture, but every time I put some more in her mouth, she acted like she was going to gag or throw up. Then this week I started squash...and she really did throw up! Right when I was finishing up the feeding! Stinker!



Last week was bittersweet...I took the baby swing down and got out the jumper.


Oh and I have to share a funny story, but I won't say who it is....I had a guest (whom I love very much) last week who brought us some antibacterial products with all the swine flu craze that was going on. Well, I started taking them out of the bag...hand-wipes...astringent...perineal cleanser..hummmm. I said Do you really think we need this?? I could not stop laughing. She..ok it was my mom, but she won't mind me sharing this if it gives you a laugh! She said she didn't really even look at what she was grabbing and it was all on an end-cap together. LOL Gave me the best laugh of the week!

Has anyone else ever had a parenting "blooper"??? Well, we were struggling getting Raegan to brush her teeth one night (as usual) and I said something like, "If you don't brush your teeth, you'll have to go to the dentist and he'll have to drill on your teeth and it'll hurt you." LOL And Brent goes, "Oh, great, Now she's going to be terrified of the dentist!" Lately it seems I'm fumbling over explaining a lot of things to her! I can't wait until the "Why?" stage comes...

My cousin has some pasture land and cows behind us, and today some of them got out. Usually one or two will get out every now and then, but it's not often that this many get out. And I was surprised when I looked up from feeding Bethany to see cows out our front door. So I had to get some pictures of it!

I'm a little late on taking pictures in the bluebonnets, but I never want to stop on the side of the road, because it's dangerous. But I went to Conroe the other day and for some reason noticed a little patch of bluebonnets that had been there, but I had never paid attention to them before. And it was next to an old abandoned house/driveway where I could pull in and get off the road. And it was only a mile or two south of my house, so I was sold on it. And I wanted to do it today, so we went this morning before the storms came and the overcast was actually helpful, because the girls could look up and didn't have to squint!!

And I didn't get any great ones of Raegan and Bethany together, because of course one would be looking at the camera while the other would be looking off, have her eyes closed or something! But I think the individual ones turned out really cute and had to share them!
