Having so much fun!

Savana missed the Fancy Nancy party in Duncan last week:(  But at Barnes & Noble on Friday they had a princess party.  She looked so adorable…of course P1030953 P1030954 P1030958P1030964 P1030961 P1030963

On Saturday we went to a different farmer’s market from last week.  Porter’s Farm is located just south of Midland, over a 30 minute drive from where we live.  We got there about 9:45 and learned we need to get there at 9:00 when they open.  We got sweet onions, goat cheese, grapes {not so good:(}, texas longhorn beef, zucchini and golden squash {delicious} and 1 sunflower...

Then we headed to the Midland Farmer’s Market, several more vendors this week.  We got some blackeyed peas, {we had blackeyed peas and cornbread for dinner ….yummy!!} and we got bacon, haven’t tried that yet.   Another great day at the farmer’s markets!

Pool opens today after being closed for 8 days….I’m losing my tan… haha!

Heading back to Oklahoma in 4 days for 1 week to move everything out of the house.

We went to the Midland Downtown Farmer’s Market on Saturday

Bailey and Savana kept going back to the Strawberry Jam Lady, so yes we got some strawberry jam and they want to eat it on everything all the time!  We also got some honey that Savana just had to have for biscuits…once we were home, she said I don’t really want that honey.  But yes I’ll make her eat it soon…HA!

Sunday it was Mommy’s Night Out.  Yay!!  I met several other mommies at Chili’s and it was really fun and enjoyable to meet new people without chasing the kiddos around.

Monday we went to the park and then to Midland to Clear Springs Cafe with Big B….it’s becoming one of my favorite restaurants!  After lunch, the kids yelled ‘TAKE MY PICTURE, TAKE MY PICTURE’ Here it is:Photo0252 Photo0251

On movie day Tuesday we watched ‘Chancey at Meatballs' as Bailey and Savana says.  (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs)  Then off to lunch at the hospital:)  Daddy brought home presents for the kiddos.  ♥ them!Photo0255 Photo0254

Wednesday we went to storytime at UTPB and then in Midland at Barnes and Noble.  They really liked that one, but wondered why we couldn’t take any books home.  They just thought it was like the library.  Definitely a place we will go back. 

Yesterday we really wanted to go swimming, but our pool has been closed all week.  Adam’s old apartment pool was closed as well:(  So I met another mommy at the water park,  and the time got away from us….so I ended up with a bright RED back….ugh!!  Then we decided to go to Chili’s.  Her husband is the managing partner there.  It was a nice girls dinner.  Bailey decided to stay with  Adam ~ they went to their favorite ~ Texas Roadhouse and then to the driving range.  1

Savana & I went to the Odessa Mall afterward.  We didn’t stay long…not a good mall at all:(  But I found some Fancy Nancy clothes at Dillards and they are super cute!!

Some pictures since we’ve been here:

Week 2

Photo0200Kids playing doctor and nurse…little did I know I would need them soon.

Come Monday…still no internet…I’m seriously having withdrawals by this point.  I knew I was missing out on some important stuff..haha!   But internet was coming on Wednesday.  In the meantime, we needed to store our empty boxes at my dad’s so Adam was loading them up and I was sitting the boxes outside.  As I turned to come in, I didn’t realize the door knob had hooked in my jeans, which pulled the door towards me and the door knocker slammed right into my nose.  Blood gushing from the top of it and pouring out of it.  Not a pretty sight…..and it hurt so bad!  It’s okay now, healing nicely after a couple of black eyes and a swollen honker.

On Tuesday we went back to the movies, this time to see Monsters vs Aliens.  They wanted to stay the whole time!  I’m sure it had nothing to do w/ the money Big B gave them for popcorn and coke.   Later in the day, they got a hold of my camera~

On Wednesday we decided to get up a little earlier, well Savana didn’t ….I had to wake that little booger up.  So we could make it to Storytime at the UTPB library. (University of Texas Permian Basin) They loved the songs and books and they even got one of the books to take home!  Then we hightailed it to Midland Library, (where I now know how to get there and it’s not from my GPS directions!) They got to do a craft and got another book.  Plus they had ran out of books from last week, so we came home w/ 3 new books in hand.

Check out our beautiful necklaces Stacy made us:P1030920P1030921 

Well here we are it’s Thursday.  Adam had to drive to El Paso (otherwise known as MEXICO!) which is about a 4 hour drive from here, so it was just us today.  We tried out a new water park, of course the kids loved it and then it was off to Chick-Fil-A for Princess and Superhero night.

After a day of swimming, no nap and bounce houses, my babies were worn out. 

My baking for the week: French Breakfast Puffs by the Pioneer Woman…and they are so stinkin’ good!!!P1030906P1030907 

DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Adam rated them an 8 out of 10 and he doesn’t even like cinnamon.  Definitely a keeper recipe.
