So i think most of you know the website Pinterest and all its glory. I think i get Pin overload after awhile, looking at all the things i could make and do to be the bestest house mommy/wife ever! Most times i love to drool over all the house designs and home decor. Since we will be building our house in the next 2 years i mark things that i want in our house...but wonder if it will ever really happen. I wonder how many people out there pin just to pin and don't really do anything with it or if we are all trying all these things! I have tried a couple recipes and even pinned one i found from all recipes to share. Those are the easiest i think to do from Pin. I think you have to be somewhat crafty to really do some of these items and i hope to try a couple soon! Even still i know i don't have talent for some and have asked my friend Maddie to paint one for me! How many things from Pinterest have you tried? have they been a success?  We maybe pinaholics but is it worth i

We bought the field! :) Really long story about a really crazy thing we have done...i will deliver it in doses. But for now i am proud to say we found a treasure (future family heritage) and we purchased the field... well 13 acres to be exact! Its only 7 mins from highway 35 and 10 mins from Denton and then 30 from Keller. It sits at the end of a long country road that dead ends into a field, so no highways or main roads coming thru and messing it up! Great googile moooglie we did it!  Kimmel found it on line back in November and we feel in love with it we had to go see it. We drove out there and instantly i could see where our house was to sit. I knew right then and there it would take a miracle for us to do this.  Thats when God smiled and said wait and see my daughter...i have something great planned.  When we were excited and talking about whether or not we should/could do this Matthew 13:44 kept coming thru my mind.  “The kingdom of heaven is like  treasure  hidden

As soon as i saw you, i knew an adventure was going to happen ~Winnie the Pooh As any mom can relate, one of my favorite things is watching Shepherd play. We have been very blessed to have loads of wonderful toys handed down to challenge and teach him. With each day he learns something new while playing.  Whether its his feet finding something to kick or his hands something to grab his sweet lil voice lets you know that he is content. I get to play with him and take pictures until i see this face... Really mom? Sorry son :) 

The third of each month marks the official date for Shepherd's age but it is not exactly right with the weeks. I dont' know which you are supposed to follow and for how long. But i waited til the month date post about it but too pictures on the 16th week. LOL So technically he is 17 weeks and two days. :) There is a pin on Pinterest that has a plaque that says 'all my smiles begin with you' (or something to that affect) that just fits for us right now.  As any parent would agree. Still growing like a weed. He now pulls my hair when i hold him, his sweet fingers just grabbing at everything.  Taking in the world around him more and more while adding his own lil sounds and words. Our lil family took a road trip this weekend for a family wedding in Austin. It was a great trip and Shepherd did awesome. Of course his sleeping was alot less then normal, his eating was different and he was around lots of people but he didn't fuss until he was way beyond tired. When
