Baby Firecrackers

Robin & I have been besties for several years now and we are seriously twins born of different mothers!  She & I think the same, love the same foods and love the same cloths.  It’s crazy, whenever we’re out to lunch we end up ordering the same thing and if we’re shopping, one of us will be holding up a sweater that the other all ready has in her hand!  We found out on the same day that we were becoming grandmothers and my Belle was born 2 weeks before her Olivia!  To keep the tradition going we’ve decided that our granddaughters should benefit from our great taste!! LOL, so when I was in Texas visiting them, Robin and I bought matching outfits for “our girls” . . . here they are – little sweet pea on the left (Belle) and little peanut (Olivia) on the right.    P.S. Belle has gained 5 lbs and grown 5 inches in the last 2 months!!  😉

The Johnson Farm

The Johnson Farm – well that’s what we all call it but it doesn’t look like the picture in your head, lol!! Beautiful home & great family. It belongs to  Robin’s daughter, Jena, & her family.  Jamie, Jena’s husband, gave me some good tips on raising a few chickens (yes, I’m actively pursuing my own little farmhouse, which will also not look like the picture in your head, lol!)

Over Memorial Weekend I went to Texas to visit my Texas Bestie and her new granddaughter, Little Miss Olivia.  Olivia is 10 days younger than our Little Belle.  Had a great time, some great food and I loved downtown McKinney.  I can’t believe I didn’t get pictures of the square downtown, very cute and some great old houses.  Some farm pics tomorrow . . .  wish it was all closer, a tad to humid for me, but great for my skin, LOL!

Surprise!!

We had a surprise “John Deere” birthday party (at Jason & Tara’s house) on Saturday for Matthew, Amie’s boyfriend & John Deere addict.  He’s in the Air Force and getting deployed.  He leaves 2 days before his birthday so we thought it’d be fun to surprise him.  His birthday is close to Owen’s and we told him it was Owen’s birthday party so that when he saw balloons and streamers he wouldn’t be suspicious . . . . lol, he was stunned!! It was great!!!  It took him a bit to wrap his head around why HIS family & friends were at Owen’s birthday party!! I love how Jason is cracking up and Amie is hiding! LOL   . . .  Alex & Heidi are the ones responsible for introducing Matthew & Amie . . . way to go guys!!!  I wanted to share the “how to” John Deere candy labels with you – super easy.  They’re actually “return address labels, #5160 and they will “perfectly” wrap around Hershey Nuggets (not Hershey Treasures).  Just add your own verbiage or image!! P.S. I took so many pictures we’ll have to do this party in 2 posts 😉

Texas Trip

I met Stan earlier this year when he was coming through the Denver area and we’ve remained friends.  He’s currently living in the Austin area of Texas and he’d invited me to come down for his family reunion.  So I did, always love going somewhere I’ve never been and I’d never been to Texas.  We stayed at his mom’s house (Wanda & Mac) and then went to the reunion on Sunday at his sister’s house (Bev & Rick).  Stan is Miranda Lambert’s uncle (Stan’s sister is Miranda’s mom) so it was great to meet her family.  Miranda was in California over the weekend and wasn’t able to come.  Wanda & Mac were a kick and Stan’s sister, Bev is just a hoot.  I loved Bev’s home – it’s an big old farmhouse with a big front porch and all original wood floors – I was totally in love with it.  “Roadie” is the little dog in the pic.  Rick had found him on the side of the road while on a hunting trip.  The little white house is “The House That Built Me” and is the actual home that Miranda’s song is about – it is where they lived when they had fallen on hard times when she was young.  It’s actually down the road from where they live now.  Wanted to share a few of my pics with you all.  It was a great time and what an experience!
