Christina's Adventures

I have discovered a fun, new crafty blog! And she's having a give-away! Just click here to check her out! You will be glad you did!

Gift Canvases

*UPDATE* I've been featured! Texas Monkey has featured my gift cavases on her blog! I am so thrilled! And to answer your questions, yes, I do sell them. Prices range from $20 to $40 depending on size and style. I can do any color scheme, just let me know!


I am really loving homemade gifts. I think they are super personal, and that it is definitely something that the receiver will not be getting duplicates of! So, I just wanted to share some of my newest creations, enjoy!

This was a gift to my friend Pamela for their 20th anniversary! Notice their wedding date and names under the cross!


This was a wedding present, Devore is their last name (incase you were wondering) And inside the "bubble is their wedding date)


I am linking to:

State Fair

We love the State Fair (Texas that is!). We went with some friends that we haven't seen in a while, and we had a great time!!! Rides, games, petting zoo, Little Hands on the Farm (although I think Dalton may be done with that one by next year), yummy food, and some shopping too! It was a blast!

**WARNING** Picture Overload! ;)

The Ocean Spray display, the kids got to pretend to harvest cranberries!

Goofy Carson!

Petting zoo!

Rides-you might not see him, but Carson is beside Jason holding on for dear life!

Carson-a little dizzy!

The boys favorite thing this year was the foot massagers Only 25c!

Carson and Avery-speed racers!

Stars Game

So one Friday night we were ready to go to The Central/Keller football game, and a friend called and said she had really good seats to The Stars Game and did we want them!? Hmmmm.....High School football or super awesome seats 4 rows back from the glass! Stars win baby!!!!!

We had so much fun, although, we left our jackets sitting at the house! So, cheapest fix...buy a Stars Snuggie! Yes, I said I would never own a Snuggie, but it was really chilly!!!! The seats were truly amazing and the boys (and us) had a blast!

Grapefest Carson Style

So, Grapevine has Grapefest which I love, and on Friday they had free admission. So I decided to take Carson for some one-on Mommy time! We had a blast! Although when we first got there and all we saw was boring booths and lots of walking trying to get to the kids stuff, he told me that I lied to him by telling him that he would have lots of fun! ha ha! Ofcourse, once we got to all the kids stuff, he was great!

He got to ride a few rides, and the petting zoo, and we spent a lot of time with Radio Disney!
This picture was right before that goat decided to jump up and attack Carson and knock him into the lady behind him!

Pre-K!!!!!

Carson started Pre-K this year! He has been attending Circle of Friends Pre-School for 3 years now, and we are so excited to see what this year has in store for him! All summer he has been talking about getting to "go upstairs", because that's where the big kids go!

Enjoy the pics of my precious youngest on his first day!

Walking In

Hugging Mrs. Paul (I love this, because she is the director and she is there every morning to greet the students!)

Going Upstairs!

Catching Up AGAIN!!!!

I seem to be really behind in blog world lately! But, I am going to wrap August up in one post! After Iowa, we went camping with Ryndi and Justin at the deer lease for one last time. We decided not to renew for this year. We had a really good time with them and the boys got in their one last free for all I am pretty sure! We even found a lake nearby and had a relaxing afternoon beachside.

Dalton started 2nd grade this year! I have a few pics stuck on FaceBook thanks to Steff for taking those for me! I am including some pics I took of him on the 2nd or 3rd day when he got to start riding his bike to school with some of his neighbor friends! He is such a big boy! And one of him where I cut off all his hair!

We went to a Ranger's game with our friends the Williams, and had a blast! Maybe we will get one more game in before this season is over-Just maybe!

Well, that's the rest of August in a nutshell-enjoy the pics!

Me and Carson on the 4wheeler!
