Feeling lazy

Ugh I feel so tired! Life has been so busy since I started back to work. I feel like a barely have time to finish my weekend chores....we have been so busy lately.


Lets see - I need to post the pictures from the air show. Not this last weekend, but the weekend before, we went to an air show and poor Matt got so baked that he was beet (in the real sense of the word) sunburned! He was sitting in my shadow by the end of the day and I tried so hard to get him to leave but he wanted to finish the air show. We got there about 9 am and left about 3 pm. I forget to think about sun block since James and I really don't need it. Needless to say, the next day (Sunday) he was in bed until about three o clock from the intense pain and rubbed so much aloe vera on his face for about a week that his face was just caked in the stuff. It did keep him from peeling though ..... he is going to KILL me for posting this picture of him. Maybe he wont see it ...



This last Saturday, James Matt and I went with a bunch of people from Cap one that met at a Haunted House. Only you pay to get in and there were a total of six haunted houses. It was a lot of fun except towards the end. We had to stand in line over an hour for each one, and we didn't leave till close to 2 am. We didn't get home until three. We all slept in the next day (Sunday) until close to eleven. Then we got up and I made turkey bacon and pancakes for breakfast while Matt and I got the house ready for the next week and the laundry done.... In the evening we went shopping for groceries and some new fish. Oh yeah - one of the guys on my team wanted to get rid of a fish tank so he gave it to us. Matt spent about an hour the Sunday prior scrubbing the green moss out of the thing while I mowed the lawn (so he would not get even more sunburned) Then we went to Walmart and bought new gravel for the fish. Its actually looking pretty good. No salt water fish or anything but we have some snails, a frog, some fish and some ghost shrimp. I cant wait for the reaction on Colin's face when he sees them =)

Now I am getting ready for Christmas. I actually have a lot of my shopping done already. I want to have the tree up by Thanksgiving. Looks like we are going to have a huge crowd over our house that day! I am so excited to cook.

Well by for now, this weekend our community is having a garage sale so we are looking forward to getting rid of some stuff. Saturday evening we are going to the movies and Sunday we are probably going over a friend of Matt's who is about to have a baby to help her get the baby's room ready. More later... out

Our family

















My best friend just sent me some additional family pictures she took of us while she was here for the wedding in June. I wanted to post just a few of the incredibly cute ones! Enjoy

The Stars Game!

Last saturday a new Best Buy opened right by our house. Since I am a member of thier "Rewards Zone" program, I got a special invite to attend a pre grand opening Thursday night. I entered into a drawing for two tickets to a Stars game and WHEW!! I WON!! I was so suprised - I never win anything! It was so much fine. Matt and I left James with my friend Evelyn and her husband Jason on Sunday night and headed to Fort Worth. It was great. I havent been to a Hockey game since a Capital One team outing back in Boise. Matt and I had a nice time together and it was so nice to get away alone for a little while.Anyway - hope you enjoy the pictures and the video.BTW - the Stars lost.








My Birthday

September 27th - My Birthday





Our trip to the Dallas Arboreaum.....

I know full well its been way to long since I posted but being back to work has taken up so much of my time!! Between that and being a full time mom and a wife, it seems I hardly have time for anything else. I am going to do my best though and post more often because I want to keep in touch with everyone and post all the pictures we take every weekend of the stuff we do together.






Lets see where do I begin?? Saturday the 20th of September, Matt James and I all took a trip to the Dallas Arboreum. It was a lot of fun. We have an annual membership there, so it doesnt cost us anything. We took James to see the Pumpkin Festival they had going on.



























Here is James and Matt attempting to till the soil with old farmers tools....
