Conversation Overheard in the Car

Jake: "What is that Josie?"

Josie: "Something you can have if you smile, and are kind, and nice, and sweet, and helpful, and...." the list went on and on.

Jake (interrupting): "Forget it, I can't do all that at once."

Quotable

This morning...

Me: "Jake, it's time to get up."

Jake: "I can't."

Me: "Why?"

Jake: "I have to rest for my soccer game today."

Me: "You're going to stay in bed until 6:30 tonight?"

...not to mention it's just a practice not a game.

Spring fever has hit! We are counting the days until school lets out for summer -- too many to say out loud yet, but we're getting closer. The tree pollen is still bad here, so maybe our spring fever is really a bad case of hay fever.

I am not going to call these bluebonnet pictures since the flowers are a little scarce around here. We haven't gotten rain at the right times for the wildflowers to thrive.

We did find a few of them though. More cute pictures to come!

A Note From Jake

Dear Mom

I Love You for What You Did For Me

Love, Jake

I'm not thinking about the fact that he wrote this note when he was supposed to be going to sleep. I am just going to focus on the sweet message not the valiant time-wasting efforts.

Instagram

After seeing this post from Pioneer Woman, I downloaded the Instagram app.

I have had lots of fun playing with it. It somehow makes so-so cell phone pictures look better.

When I showed it to Cody, though, he looked at me like I was a little crazy. Possibly it is not quite as amazing as I think; I don't get out much.

But it was free!

You can crop and edit pictures taken on your phone. There are several fun "edits" to change the look of your pics.

My 2 favorite parts: I love square pictures. I'm not sure why, but for some reason they make me happy. Maybe it's because they remind me of the old polaroid snapshots I used to take as a kid.

My other favorite part? One of the filters is called 1977, and that was a good year. The only problem is that I don't actually remember which of these pictures has the 1977 filter on it.
