Reaching 19 Years with the Help of Love and Vows

IMG_0629

When you meet and marry your husband the way I did, nobody expects you to stay married. Nobody.  And when you marry a cowboy, it makes for an interesting ride full of ups, downs, and even a few “bucked off” moments.  Through it all though, you remember why you married and how love & vows [...]

2011 Little Moments

IMG_1343

While I didn’t do much in the blogosphere in 2011, it was one of my most cherished years.  I was there for my kids.  I was there for every single moment that was important to them and me.  A few ‘little moments’ that meant the world to me throughout 2011 include: Seeing my son be [...]

Cars 2, Mater’s Mission, and Fun Prizes!

I’m so bummed that the fire has kept me from taking Truett to see the opening for Cars 2 in our town.  I plan to take him soon but in the mean time, we can have fun with Mater’s Secret Mission, by sending codes messages and winning prizes. Walmart has launched Mater’s Secret Mission on [...]

Finding My Mojo, Finally

I’m sure you’ve noticed the lack of updates here.  Aside from merging A Cowboy’s Wife into My Wooden Spoon, I’ve just been trying to catch-up, gather my thoughts, and create a plan.  I think I’ve finally found my mojo and it’s refreshing.  Merging and letting one blog go has taken a huge weight off of [...]

As One Goes In, One Will Go Out

senior rings

It’s hard to believe that I’ll be 35 this month.  Even harder to believe that I have a son who will graduate next year, with another son who will be in Pre-K that same school year.  Where has all the time gone…….Tyler got his senior ring the other day and it’s one of those small [...]

Rodeo, Cheesecake, and Our Flag

DSC_0140

Every year, we are given tickets to attend the San Angelo PRCA Rodeo.  It’s always a great rodeo but this year, it was much more for me.  They added a couple of things that gave me goosebumps and a new appreciation of the Flag.  It started with this man here, the rodeo announcer, who is [...]

A Whole Bunch of Handsome

What a beautiful day it was here in Texas!  We were in the 60′s and took advantage by cooking outside.  All the boys were around so it was the perfect time to be with family.  Truett posed for photos, Tyler played with Truett, my man was cooking up a storm and making silly faces, and [...]

Glued at the Hip

Six Flag San Antonio

I can remember Tyler when he was little, before Toby came along, doing everything with his Dad.  It was just them two, all the time. Now it’s Truett and his Dad. No matter what we’re doing, where we’re at, them two are glued to each other.  It makes me happy to see that bond.  I’m [...]

Every Weekend

Andres Falcon

Most of Saturday was miserable due to weather and then Sunday was just beautiful. The sun was out so we enjoyed the fresh air by doing chores, taking a 4-wheeler ride, and eating ice cream. Glorious I tell ya. Anyways, just like every weekend, we usually get together with my father-in-law and cook out. Him [...]

A Movie, Trivia, Some Giggles, and a Little Popcorn

I’ve been waiting anxiously for Secrets of the Mountain to finally air and I’m proud to say that it was a hit in our home!  And I’m not just saying that. You can see my original post about it and how I felt at the end of the video. We started out with a Ziti [...]

2hrs and a Rest Stop

On our way to Matador, Texas for my nephew’s graduation, we knew we were going to have some time to spare when we were thinking we had 1 1/2 hrs left but in reality, there was only 3omin left.  So what do you do when you’re in a town of about 800 or less??? Well, [...]

My Mother’s Day Moments with My Boys

temp-168

I decided to force my kids to take pictures with me even though I hate pictures myself.  I don’t have very many with my boys so we did a few quick ones.  I had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend and we spent almost every single moment together the entire weekend! We went to a ranch [...]

My Favorite Ornament

Christmas Ornament

I have many faves actually but this one is close to my heart because my son did the artwork at the age of 5.  Most of my ornaments are western except for a few that are family ones handed down but that year I thought it would be fun to have the kids get creative.  [...]
