Happy Father's Day!

A little behind on blogging.....yes, I know! We had a wonderful visit with Mimi last week. I always appreciate an extra set of hands with the kids and a shopping buddy is definitely a plus. Thanks so much Mimi for coming to see us!

And Happy Father's Day to Jimmy! Or like he prefers.... Happy Father's Weekend! He enjoyed a golf outing and opening some gifts from his #1 fans. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Memorial Day Pics

Geez...been too long since I've updated. Kendall is officially out of school for the summer. Oh, what are we going to do?! We started off with a great Memorial Day picnic with other families in my Mom's group. Jace LOVED the water balloons and must have thrown at least 10.
We are excited about a visit from Mimi and Pap Pap next week. Hope they love the heat because it sure has been scorching here...yesterday 97!!!! I think the pool will be calling.

Jace at the Splash Park

While Kendall was at school today, Jace and I met some friends at the Splash Park. There is an awesome, kid-friendly area equipped with a splash park in the shopping center across from our neighborhood. Talk about cool! Jace had a blast. As you can see, he ran right in with his clothes and getting him to leave was not so much fun.
Thanks to my sweet friend Brittany for taking these pics!

Gammy comes to visit!

(a few recent pics of my darlings- Kendall 3 1/2 years old, Jace 19 months)

We had an awesome visit with Gammy this past week! I think Gammy got a dose of our very crazy schedule with soccer, gymnastics, birthday parties, playdates, hair appointments, and even a Mom's Night Out. Yes, my mom joined my friends and I for food and drinks at Village Burger Bar. We had a blast!

(P.S.-- Thanks a million, Mom, for all your help and more importantly, your company! We love you and miss you so much already! Show Dad pics of those houses... I wasn't kidding! ;)

Kendall's Preschool Open House

We went to Kendall's school tonight to see all the project they've been working on. Kendall was proud to show off her artwork. Jace was having a good time, also, helping himself to lemonade and brownies and playing with all of "sissy" 's friends.

18 months already!

My baby is not such a baby anymore! Jace has his 18 month well visit and was such a trooper! Thank goodness for only 1 shot.
He is 23.5 pounds (12%ile) and 33 inches (67%ile). Like I said before, tall and skinny...just like his momma wants to be. The doctor did the M-Chat Autism screening which pediatricians do for all children at Jace's age, and he passed with flying colors. In fact, the doctor made me feel so good when he said, I'm going to give him the assessment checklist, but I can tell you just by interacting with him, I have NO concerns. I didn't either, but it does feel great to hear it from the doctor. :) So, an overall wonderful visit for Jace Man.

Spring!

I have a love-hate relationship w/ Spring. I'm most excited about now being able to wear flip flops and not having to deal w/ dressing the kids in coats, hats and gloves, but if I only could breathe out of my nose. Oh how I loathe you Allergies! How is it that allergy season in Texas is worse than Georgia or South Carolina for someone who is highly allergic to trees?? Texas has no trees! Well at least my town in Texas! So, I've yet to figure that out, but in the meantime I will certainly enjoy my flip flops.

We've had lots going on lately... Jimmy and I took the kids to Disney on Ice this past weekend and talk about a great time had by all....even Jimmy. I highly recommend you seeing it if it comes to your area. We also had our neighborhood Spring Fling / Easter party. I was on the planning committee and booked the entertainment which was a petting zoo and Easter Bunny Clown. (Scary, I know! But she was a hit with the kids.) Jace also experienced his 1st Easter egg hunt and LOVED it. He ran all over and ended up collecting his 2 eggs and eating the Tootsie Rolls inside.

St. Patrick's Day and Head Butts

Yes, you read that right. (I'll get to the head butt in a minute...)
St. Patrick's Day is a special time around our house as it was the very beginnings of what has become the Hoffner clan. Jimmy and I met 7 years ago in Savannah, GA while both on a mini vacation friends for St. Patrick's Day. If you haven't heard the story about the jean jacket, I'll have to fill you in later. Anyhow, we always jokingly say to each other, "You are SOOO lucky," -or- "You were so lucky that day to have met me." And while we both joke about it, I truly do feel like the luckiest women to have him as my best friend in life.

So, now a quick note about the head butt....We were all sitting on the couch tonight and out of the blue, Kendall leaned over to Jimmy, head butted him, and said, "That's how we do it." Well, alrighty then! Enough said....

Update on my blog

My friend warned me awhile back that I needed to make my blog private and I didn't listen. :-( Well, I've now decided to do just that after finding 2 people, whom I have NO clue who they are, following my blog. Just a little too close for comfort! So...now it's just for you...my friends and family.

Kendall's 1st Soccer Game

We had a blast at Kendall's 1st soccer game this morning. Now I must preface this by saying, my girly girl would've rather been playing dress up, but she did a pretty good job running around with her team mates. They played a boy's team and beat them 6-5. Go Pink Panthers!
