We will, we will shear you!

The people I truly love are forced to watch The 10th Kingdom with me.






















All. Seven. Hours.

He secretly loves it. :)

That explains why you're so refined. Ya, and so oily.

Jacob and a few of the other guys decided to take a day off so we could all go to Schlitterbahn! I love saying that word. Schlitterbahn is a really cool water park in Galveston. It was really fun and it's always refreshing to hear Jacob scream like a little girl. ;)I still can't believe I went down that white one. It was the steepest one I've ever seen, and I am scared of heights.

Afterward, Clay and Amanda came with us to explore Galvaston. It's the coolest place. Everything is on stilts and there are some eerie abandoned buildings from the hurricane. I especially love this hotel, because we could see furniture in the rooms still.Cweeepy.
Amanda and I fully intend on returning and exploring it. Our boys were too scared.
We also played on a beach for 2.3 minutes before we decided it was dinner time! We ate out on the deck of a restaurant. You know, the kind with big red, green, and yellow bulbs hanging everywhere. It was really nice out and made me feel like I was on vacation. After we ate, we found this Christian worship sing-a-long on the beach. Of course we sat and listened to the whole thing. An "oil spill shell"

Ta da!

I followed a pattern all by myself. And here's the finished product...
(Don't look too closely)Here it is on my hot bod.

Saturdays are my favorite.

On Saturdays, the boys get to come home around five, so we always try to do something fun. This Saturday, we went to The Galleria which is the hugest mall I've ever seen. No really, there's an ice skating rink in the mall!


I wanted to spend 34 hours exploring the place, but boys don't like doing that. I'll have to go back sometime by myself or with only girl friends.

There was a cute little candy shop, but the prices were outrageous. Luckily, it was free to take our picture with the giant chocolate bunny. Thank goodness!

I spent most of yesterday (and the day before) sitting here:
With this on my iTunes

But I'm not completely antisocial. I also did P90X with my lady friends.
Then at night, I sat with Jacob out on our deck and pretended I was at the beach because it's very humid and breezy here. I talked and talked and sometimes he talked a little bit. Then he tried to tickle torture me when I was trying to sleep. Whoever lives on the other side of that wall must have thought someone was being murdered.
I love being in school, but I'm also enjoying this temporary stay-at-home wife thing.

It makes me laugh every time..

the most rebellious thing I've done in years

I'd hit that.

We made a pinata.
Not sure why we felt it was necessary to paper mache a cardboard box, but it sure was fun. Some paint and tissue paper later...
It's a basketball jersey. Obviously.


The birthday boy attempting to break it open. He started smothering under his "blindfold" before he could.

Not to worry. Jacob brought his machete.
