the mize muse the mize muse saturday april 11 2015 houston art car parade 2015 everyone always talks about austin and their campaign to keep austin weird but we have our fair share of artsy strange types ourselves the best place that i have ever been to people watch was the houston art car parade in downtown houston the art car parade is open to anyone that wants to decorate a car in a unique way and drive it down the street i have never seen so much creativity in one place it takes all kinds the houston parks department had an entry this car had a calliope built into the back of the bed lots of unique paint designs some professional some not this car was covered in sea shells everything was covered in seashells including the steering wheel insides of the doors etc someone even decked out a plane many of the drivers dressed up for the big day some of the cars had props to enjoy this one was covered in fruit this car was my favorite this was the most beautiful paint job and it shimmered in real life of course we had a take some pictures we found a little patch of bluebonnets we love exploring our city posted by the mize of texas at 6 38 am 1 comment saturday january 24 2015 my baby is 14 i took an online quiz the other day and it said that i have the spirit of a 16 year old therefore i cannot believe that i have a 14 year old daughter waaah where has the time gone i know that everyone always says that but seriously it seems like yesterday that i was rocking her in the middle of the night while she cried it was not that long ago that i was sitting in the middle of the bed crying when shane showed up from work because she had cried all day we dragged her from hither to yon as we finished our undergraduate degrees and then our masters degrees in illinois she grew up with us we are getting old sob so in our old age we are beginning decisions about endorsements and pathways through high school that lead to college academics meanwhile grace and all of her friends are discussing the vehicles that they think they will be getting drivers ed starts next year oh my dad was gone for gracie s special day but as soon as he got home we did it up right ice cream cake anyone another reason that i love the houston area strawberries are ripe in january we hit up our favorite patch of course it s not a birthday without friends we had the compadres over for ice skating and a sleepover discovery green is a park in downtown houston that has year round programming of all different sorts during the holiday season and a little after they install an ice skating rink we also checked out an art exhibit of fiber optic lights in the park that was very cool it was a beautiful and cold night just when i think that she is getting so old she showed up in the kitchen like this she and the littles were in some kind of battle i m going to keep thinking of her like this for a while longer posted by the mize of texas at 11 13 am no comments monday october 6 2014 the home of the brave for a music teacher the holiday season begins in september all of my classes have been immersed in patriotic music for veteran s day since right after the first couple weeks of school my choir has been working on our holiday musical for at least three weeks the holidays are on the brain i have sung the star spangled banner at least a thousand times since september that song is a little on overload for me at the moment we were headed home after the school the other day and landry pipes up from the back of the car hey we need to find the home of the brave what i asked you know the home of the brave it has to be around here somewhere oh right she had just been in music that day you know that the home of the brave is all of america the song is talking about our whole country well that s the silliest thing that i have ever heard posted by the mize of texas at 6 11 pm no comments monday september 1 2014 first day of school 2014 the first day of school is a process especially for a teacher s family summer has been over for us since about the first week of august we still had fun and laid around but there was also lots of time spent at the school working in my classroom getting it ready for the new year fortunately my kids have great imaginations i have lots of great props in my room and they actually really enjoyed going to the school to work this was one of the massive forts that was built there were lots the dogs on the other hand have not been happy to not have us around all the time when i get home they are stuck to my hip i was making dinner in the kitchen and they were just hanging out watching i have been very fortunate to have sisters that have been able to come down and stay with the kids during the week plus of teacher inservice days that occur before the kids head back to school aunt esther made it down this year and we were happy to have her help out the weekend before school started uncle graham and aunt bekah also came down for some fun family time the boys had the best time playing video games with uncle graham and going to see the guardians of the galaxy we girls were all headed to the grocery store i had to stock up for the coming week we also had a good time doing some shopping the first day of school finally arrived and grace had to be at the school at 6 30 a m for volleyball tryouts she and i got up and headed out early as i had to be at school pretty early as well dad was in charge of getting everyone else out the door look at those grown up kids gibson 4th grade landry 1st grade hayden 3rd grade grace 8th grade by the way after three days of tryouts grace did make the volleyball team for the year we are very proud of all of our little students and are looking forward to a jam packed and productive year posted by the mize of texas at 10 59 am 1 comment labels family kids landry is 7 i don t know where the time has gone but this hot mess is officially seven years old she has been asking daily about the arrival of her birthday since last christmas we were all relieved when it finally arrived of course we celebrated after church with a little mexican food we have always had certain birthday traditions with our family of course we have a family party and the birthday person gets to choose the dinner of their choice something that mom makes there is usually a cookie cake from the great american cookie company that tradition is as old as all of our children and then there are cupcakes at school i got to sneak down and see her and her little friends while they enjoyed their snack we have also always offered our kids the choice of a party or just inviting a couple of friends to go and do a fun activity the kids usually opt for the fun activity which is fine with me we have been ice skating rock climbing movies jumping at skyzone swimming etc it has been pretty great no pressure for a party minimal cost optimal time management in true landry fashion she opted for the party a princess party she s been to a couple within the last couple of weeks and her expectations were pretty high elsa and anna showed up at one of her friend s parties landry was asking for mulan i told her that she couldn t get here from china she also opted out of the cookie cake so i was on the hunt for a cute princess cake i hit up pinterest and found the idea for a cupcake princess dress i made and frosted cupcakes and put them in the shape of a dress add a tiara and wand tada dad saved the day and bought a bunch of princess party plates crafts and decorations i love that man he saved me a lot of stress landry s favorite were the princess drink flutes and the umbrellas as the girls arrived they made crowns put on princess beads and decorated wands we had pizza and snacks and then of course had cake no party is complete without presents we were so thankful for all of the little princesses that came to make landry s day so special even though her party was lots more work than birthdays past i think that everyone had a great time and it was fun to spoil so many little princesses posted by the mize of texas at 10 33 am no comments labels birthday kids landry monday august 4 2014 d e y i tuned into a conversation between hayden and landry today h t m i landry t m i l well whatever d e y h that doesn t even mean anything l oh yeah d e y posted by the mize of texas at 4 32 pm no comments sunday august 3 2014 bucket list family vacation a couple of years ago we took our first trip to new orleans as a family we had a wonderful time and the kids have repeatedly asked to go back after not taking a family vacation last summer we decided that it was high time for us to hit the road first up drago s on our last trip we had hit up drago s and the grilled oysters on the way out of town i have to say that the flavor and taste had stayed with us for a couple of years and we were ready to try them again as we pulled into town this was our first stop these grilled oysters are served grilled on the half shell with parmesan cheese and butter oh my after our first bite of new orleans we headed straight for the hotel this year we stayed at the embassy suites and we were all in heaven there was a room for mom and dad a room for the girls and the boys slept on the fold out couch it had the most comfortable sofa mattress that i have ever felt not only were we not stepping on each other but there was a pool complimentary breakfast complete with an omelet bar pastries hot breakfast and fruit and happy hour every afternoon snacks and all of the drinks that you could drink the kids were living it up gibson made himself sick a couple of times on sodas and gardettos the bunny ears weren t a big hit we explored around the hotel and were enjoying our downtown views from the roof this was the view from the pool at night one of the must visit places for our family in new orleans is storyland in the city park landry truly believes that it is disney land and has asked many times over the last two years to go back she was pumped storyland is a play area that was built in the 1950s and the playscapes all represent various fairy tale and story book characters hence the name she was so excited that she could hardly contain herself of course there was rapunzel and snow white pinnochio and the big fish after this picture the older two were done they went next door to a little amusement park that is also within the park and rode some roller coasters cinderella hayden and landry didn t even notice that the older two were gone i m treasuring the fact that they had so much fun they won t be this age much longer we also enjoyed visiting jackson square this time around we got in one of the horse carriages in front of the square and took a tour through the downtown area this was one of the most fun activities while we were there our driver was very funny and great with the kids it was a great experience we walked along the river and saw the paddleboat while in new orleans we had to eat po boys gumbo fried shrimp for a couple of different meals and bread pudding from mother s we also ate at a place by recommendation from our driver the royal house did not disappoint we enjoyed walking the downtown area and seeing the history and architecture of the french quarter another favorite stop in new orleans is the aquarium when walking in there is a big tunnel that day we got to watch divers feeding the stingrays this is hayden s favorite place to visit science sharks marine biology check the kids got to feed the stingrays in a separate exhibit and see divers in the shark tank it was a memorable trip and enjoyed by the whole family it s fun to see our little family getting older and have stamina to enjoy these kinds of things without having to stop for naps posted by the mize of texas at 8 00 pm no comments labels bucket list family summer travel vacation older posts home subscribe to posts atom banana hannah
