New Year's Eve!

Nothing much exciting here. Worked for a few hours with very few babies...now I"m home watching the Disney Channel with Allison.

I am so boring...and I don't care!!

I'm a loser...

3 days with no pics....sorry...but life has not been that exciting. Work has been slow and boring...took Allison for a sports physical for tennis yesterday. That's about it!!

Today is the same...boring....

nap time...

Stayed home today and did much of nothing.....well...I cleaned the house and did laundry...so I did something!!

Dec 25 Merry Christmas!!

First white Christmas in North Texas in 83 years!!! The dogs loved the snow and had a blast running around like nuts.

The girls opened their presents, we ate a bunch of junk and then after a quick nap we went to the movies. Ended up seeing Sherlock Holmes which was AMAZING!!!

Dec 24-Christmas Eve

Had a nasty storm today...snow and freezing cold. I thought I was back in North Dakota!!! Poor Skippy was freezing, so thankfully I got him dried off enough to get his blanket on....poor guy was shivering.

John was stuck at work and didn't leave until 4:30 in the morning and it took him 2 hours to get home....

But the girls and I were warm in the house with our Christmas Eve fire...

zzzz

So tired.....boring day at work since there was only a couple of babies. Tried to go shopping after work, but it wasn't happening. Went to Walmart to get some fuses for John for the Explorer then headed home.

Now it's time for bed..............

laundry Sunday.

Not a very exciting day, but it was nice. Went to Walmart, Tractor Supply and Lowes, and then just tried to catch up on the housework. Wrapped a bunch of presents too...

Long Saturday

Allison has been wanting to get back into lessons and Ivan is well again, so we started off the day with a lesson. Then off to get hay.....then we went on the long and boring drive to Mexia. Didn't get home from Mexia until 1 in the morning which sucked...but we had a nice time while we were there.

Dec 17

Jonas is a lazy boy who loves the bed!!

Dec 16

No pics on the 14th and 15...I was extremely lazy and it was wonderful!!


Took the dogs out to run on the 16th...it was pretty dang cold and all they wanted to do was eat horse poop so we didn't stay out too long!

Put the tree up

Finally got the Christmas tree up. Had a small breakdown when I saw the ornament with Cody's picture on it. But I think it's because I totally forgot about it and didn't expect it.

Long day....

John didn't get home until almost 4 this morning so we got a late start to Austin to pick up Alyssa. Stopped at the Ballpark in Arlington to look for Christmas presents for the girls, but the stuff was just WAY too expensive...I mean worse than Disney prices! I love going to the ballpark though...football stadiums are ok..but nothing like the baseball park to me!! I can't wait until baseball season starts up again!! Take me out to the ball game!!!

Stopped in West Texas for some kolaches and then we stopped at Target before we picked Alyssa up for the long and boring ride home....

The girls helped decorate our teeny tiny tree before Alyssa headed out the door with friends...the only way I know she is actually here is that she left me laundry!! Allison is making what I'm certain are incredible cookies that I am going to try very hard to resist, but not sure how well that will work....

productive morning

Dug out the Christmas box and put a few things up. I saw a few things...but honestly that's all we have!!!

way cold

It was freezing last night and this morning!! Woke up to a wind chill of 13 and also a sucky migraine. Blech on both of them!! Took the dogs outside to run in hopes that the cold weather would help my head (sometimes it does). Nope...the dogs had fun...but not only did my headache continue, I also felt like I was going to barf....

Ivan was munching on the hay and trying to stay out of the wind!!

Dec 9

Nope.....no pics for the past two days...been insanely busy at work....but I've got a picture for today....

Olive is happy that she is inside and not out in the 23 degree weather!!

Dec 6-Flooded dorm

Alyssa got a call during the game Saturday night that her dorm was flooding. Obviously we couldn't do anything about it then...so this is what she came back to on Sunday..

Dec 5th-Big 12 Champs!!!

Had a great time at the game on Saturday!!!!!!!!!

Hook Em Horns!!!!!

Friday!!

Woo hoo!!! It's Friday!!!

Jonas is annoying...

Jonas annoys the snot out of Kacie!!!

SNOW!!

Woke up this morning to snow!!! I would have bet the paycheck that it wouldn't snow, but we have about a half inch of the white stuff on the ground. Crazy!!

I may take Ivan's blanket off of him in a little while once I know the rain won't start up again, but after him being sick so long and losing weight because of it, I want him to be warm and dry! Thursday night is going to have wind chills around 16, so I think Skippy may get his blanket on then too...

Tired boy

Freaking insane day at work......and it looks like Jonas had a long day at school too...

New bed for Olive-Nov 30

No pic on Sunday, I had my camera and meant to take a picture of Alyssa at the bus stop, but it was pouring down rain so that didn't happen!

Had a fun day though, went to church, then to Wild Wings, Target then on to the bus station. Stopped at Petco on the way home and bought Olive a bed for 8 bucks...apparently she likes it!
