doin' a little pickin'

I am super duper proud of Layla and her sudden love for guitar.  She has a six week music class at school and they are learning to play.  She is loving it and yesterday she rushed into the house after school to play me a clip of this song!

She also has a very important decision to make between now and Monday.  She's had a few weeks to decide her elective next year for 6th grade.  She can pick art, choir, orchestra or band.  Last week she was leaning towards band and playing the flute, but now she is leaning towards choir.  She's hoping to also take private guitar lessons too.  I'm thrilled for her to have so many cool music choices.

    Gary has wanted to learn to play guitar for years and she is teaching him a few things here and there!  It's cute to see them learning together.  

I'm so bummed I can't get the video to work. Grrrrr!  

Hayden's thoughts on Cowboy's season with Romo

Our littlest Cowboy fan is struggling a bit with our quarterback.  

Don't get me wrong he is still a Cowboy fan for life, but here is his take on the Romo situation.

You have to watch...it is only 19 seconds long!  He talks a bit about eggs too...hopefully you can understand his language!

Hayden is really good about entertaining himself.   Since we adopted Bogey they are best friends, or partners in crime.  They are always getting into some kind of trouble.   

There really is no way a dog Bogey's size should be under the ottoman.  He is almost 60 pounds.  

Today I am sharing this silly little video for your viewing pleasure.

Wild boys!  I was trying so hard not to laugh!

weekend video

As many of you know Blogger has had some serious issues.  I'm not sure what happened, but my post from Thursday is still not posted.  I guess it is gone forever, but I really hope they resolve the issues.  I really liked my rant post and I like all the fun comments you guys left me.  I didn't post anything Friday because Blogger was broken most of the day.  

Today we have been hanging out here at home.  I cleaned the whole house!  I am so happy to have it done.  I also opened a few windows because the weather is wonderful.  It is about 70 degrees with a nice breeze!  It is awesome.  Gary and the kids have been playing outside so that I could clean.  Our house and our backyard is always chaotic.  It makes me laugh.  Here is a glimpse into the random and loudness of our backyard.

I am so very happy about Hayden's golf skills.  Gary is loving how far and accurate Hayden hits.  Now if only the dogs would share the backyard.  They love to chase balls and Bogey tries to bite at the club mid swing. Like I said...chaos!

My first Vlog

For those of you (my in-real-life-friends/family) who aren't familiar with the term vlog...this is what the dictionary says...

Vlog: a blog that contains video material

A group of girls that I know and love from twitter decided we should all do a Vlog. 

Oh My Goodness.  Soooo,

Today I am speaking to you guys for the first time.  You can see just how silly and ridiculous I am.  I'm from Texas and have that small town Texas voice.  I do laugh at myself daily, so feel free to laugh along with me.  Ugghhh!  Here goes.

Yes, I do say 'Um' & 'And' WAY too much! I flinched the entire time I watched this. Eiiikk!

Here is a little

cookie monster for your Monday :)

Have a great day!

Hugs~
