I am BLAH!

I am in a major BLAH mood. One of the reasons may be that I have an ill child, but I don't know. I am just not in the mood to blog or anything! Sorry, hopefully tomorrow will be a better blogging day in my world!

Can We say, ON THE BALL?

If you remember my post from yesterday you may remember me making a brief comment that the Collin Street Bakery's service, "wasn't the best," well today I got an e-mail from a partner who had found my blog through a search. In the e-mail was an apology and a dozen free cookies for me to claim! Now I don't know about you, but that to me is AMAZING! In less than 24 hours they took the complaints of little ole' TX girl me, and tried to make amends. Now let me tell you, this IMPRESSED me! You know anything can happen, and anyone can have a bad day, but to see a company have this kind of OUTSTANDING follow up and concern for their company, for sure makes me want to go back. In fact I probably won't even use the coupon, because businesses like these DESERVE my business. I must say I am HIGHLY IMPRESSED, and will recommend the Collin Street Bakery to ANYONE! Oh and my I suggest the Cherry Icebox Cookies? They are out of this WORLD!

Wordful Wednesday: New Hair

*Wordful Wednesday is for those of us that like to showcase a photo(s) but that just can't seem keep our mouths shut about it(them). If you'd like to play along, post a photo on your blog, and let the words roll. For more Wordful Wednesday visit Angie at Seven Clown Circus.

I rarely do a post with a picture of me, so I thought I would change that! My hubby took a picture of my new hair this morning as I was leaving for work. I got it high-lighted and cut last Thursday and LOVE the way it turned out. A friend of mine Courtney found the style for me, and it worked so well! Thanks Courtney!

Spring Break Part 2!

Here is part 2 and there will be a part 3 tomorrow! Bear with me, but there are so many pictures to share!
Monday of our Spring Break we visited Corsicana, Tx. It looked like it had lots of cool places, but most were a bit disappointing. We made the most of it though and the boys had a blast! Russel Stover factory was sad because there were no tours or anything, just a store! Collin Street was neat but the service wasn't very good, and Pioneer Village was not what we thought. We thought there would be some re-enactments, but nope! It was fun though, because we were with our boys, and that is all that matters!
Our family at Pioneer Village!


Look it's Uncle Joe!

Back from Spring Break!

So maybe I am deluding myself by thinking that somebody in the blogging world missed me, but just give me the honor of feeling that way! I thought over the next few days I would share with you all what we did over Spring Break! I will be gone part of the week this week also, but I am back for a few days!

Saturday of Spring Break we bought a new camper! It was so exciting and we are in love with it. So of course we had to take a camping trip so we headed to a State Park about an hour away to spend part of our week. We did a lot of things while we were there! We spent a lot of time in the park enjoying nature, fishing, and doing scavenger hunts. Every morning when we woke up we had breakfast and then Joe Braden and his Nana made a list of things in nature we must find for our hunt. It was not always a fair match up, but they loved it! They put Poppy and Joshua on a team, Nana and Joe Braden, and Joe and I. Well lets just say Mommy and Daddy won all but one day! It was all in fun though. We also did a lot of fishing, and exploring. It was a lot of fun and we got a lot of relaxing in!

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
