This is us!

Here is a recent picture of my husband and I for those of you that haven't seen us in a while. We just took this picture this past weekend.

Kids Visiting!

We had my sisters kids visit this past weekend and we all had a lot of fun. The kids really like the new house and especially the yard. They played outside as long as they could while they were here.

15 Days Until Christmas and Counting!!

We actually had our tree up before we even moved in. Hope everybody has a Merry Christmas!

FINALLY!!!

I haven't had a chance to post anything in a while with everythign going on but we finally closed on our house and even moved in. We still have a few things to do on the place but nothing too major. We even have up our Christmas tree and lights on the house. We are super excited and are really loving the house and especially all the space, it is so GREAT! I will try and get a picture up of the house with the decorations and more of the house in general tomorrow!

Almost Time!

Well, we are scheduled to close on our new house in a week from tomorrow. We can hardly wait! We are going to do a few things to it before we move in, but nothing too major! We are going to my dad's and then his mom's for Thanksgiving and I can get my Christmas decorations out of storage while we are there. I love Christmas time! As soon as we move in the first thing I am going to do is cook something in my new kitchen and the second thing I am going to do is put up my Christmas decorations!! I usually decorate the weekend after Thanksgiving so this will throw off my tradition a little, having to wait. Everybody be praying that the next couple of weeks go real smooth with no bumps please!

Weekend!

We had a pretty good weekend, nothing too exciting. Saturday I went with a friend of mine "window shopping", getting prices on stuff for the house. Shannon went over to his friends, who just bought a new house to check it out. We had a movie that night that Shannon didn't even stay awake through the previews but he said it was good! ;-) We got up and went to Sunday School (or Life Group is what they call it) and church. We really like our Life Group. It is married couples under like 35. It is fun and we aply what we discuss to life. After church we went home and ate lunch and I cleaned house while Shannon mowed the yard and did laundry and bathed the dog. That is about it. Nothing too exciting but this is our typical weekend and we kind of like it! Oh, and for an update on the house, we are set to close on it November 27th!!!

Another week!

Well, I am loving this time change. Of course, I woke up at 4, 5, and finally got up at 6 and then kept feeling like I was late for work when it was already daylight out but it was great to sleep a little late. We didn't do anything exciting this weekend. We were both off on Saturday by 2 and I did bills while Shannon picked up the house. He went to a boxing match Saturday night with a guy from work and I was going to go do something but fell asleep around 9. Sunday we went to sunday school and church and grabbed lunch and went home and were pretty lazy all day. We played Family Fued on the computer and after I beat Shannon pretty bad three times he didn't want to play anymore! That is usualy what we try to do, we try and do all we need to on Saturday so we can do very little on Sunday. We work a lot of hours and it is nice to just hang out and relax one day.

Princess Madison!

Madison decided to be a princess this year. She is the one on the, right for those of you who don't already know. The other girl is my cousin's little girl who is just a couple of months age difference. They play real well together and had a lot of fun!

Spiderman Little!

Here is Mason in his Halloween outfit. He decided to be Spiderman too but he isn't so crazy about pictures so he didn't strike much of a pose or anything, but still looks just great!

Happy Halloween!

Hope everybody has a fun and safe Halloween! We are going with a friend of ours to take her kids trick-or-treating! I am bringing my two kids (Shannon and Diamond!). I think we are just going here in town. Mason (my nephew) called last night and he is Spiderman too and Madison (my niece) is a princess! My sister is supposed to send me pictures of them and I will post that if I get them!

Spiderman!

Well, here is the picture everyone has been waiting to see! There just isn't much to even say about it, the picture says it all!

Fish Pond

Here is the fish pond that is out back. Shannon says he saw some fish in it already. We will probably have a lot of fun with this!

Kitchen

Here is one of the kitchen which, those of you who really know me know is the most important room in the house to me!

More House Pictures!

I got some more photos of the house so whoever is interested can see some more photos. I have one here of the front of the house a little closer than the other! I like the red door and it has a big front porch!

Cold Weather!!

I don't know about everybody else but it is pretty darn cold around Austin. It makes my body hurt, I can fill every little pin, plate or broken bone I have ever had all the way down to my toe! But...at least it is getting close to Christmas! I love Christmas! I can hardly wait to start decorating. I made some Salsa Chili last night and it was the perfect cold weather food. For anybody that wants to try it here it is.... cook 1lb meet with a small chopped onion, stir in about 2 cups of salsa, 1 can pinto beans, 1 sm can of chiles, and a package of taco season mix. Bring it to a boil, reduce heat, cover and cook about 20 min. If you want it to thicken up just cook in a little flour. Shannon likes his chili real thick. We put it over Fritos and had Frito Pie and it was the perfect cold weather dish for us! So, if anybody else is cold besides us give this a try to warm you up!

House!

Well, more pictures will come but here is one photo of our new house to give everybody an idea of what the new place looks like. I think it is just right for us!

Blogg!

I am new at this whole blogg thing so everybody has to bear with me while I figure all this out. I don't even know if I am spelling Blog right?! Is it one g or two? Also, I have limited internet access for the next month or so. We don't want to get get high speed internet at home until we get moved into our new house. Yes, I said new house! For those of you who don't know we are buying a new house and hoping to be moved in before Christmas! It is about a mile from the place we are renting now and we are so excited. I will post pictures soon!

Ready for Halloween!

Well, Diamond is ready for Halloween! I just couldn't resist buying this for less than $10 and she just looks so cute in it. She is almost busting at the seams but she sucked in and I got it on her. I thought the hat would be an issue but she didn't seem to mind it either. I had a harder time getting this back off her than getting it on. I think she likes it!
