Been busy around here!

Last night was the girls' open house at school. It was a chili and stew supper with the parents providing the desserts and condiments. It was a lot of fun. We got to visit with friends and have supper, then go see the girls' classrooms and all the things they have been working on. Then the kids all got up on stage and introduced their parents. Afterwards they had a book fair and of course the girls just HAD to have some new books.

Today I am gonna pick them up early from school, they have eye appointments in Liberal. They are going to try their hand at contacts. They are both so excited and I am too. If they are able to wear them and take care of it, it will be so nice to not worry about their glasses getting knocked off during basketball or volleyball or whatever sport they are playing at the time and getting stepped on and broke!

They are still busy with cheer, getting ready for Cheerfest in Liberal in October. They just got their new uniforms all ordered, so they should be here soon.

Bryce is busy with football and school. He's selling FFA sausage right now and trying to work on his pickup and get it all done up like he wants it. Gonna have to be thinking about Senior pictures soon, he called and asked me if I thought our neighbor Lori (who has always done all our pictures) would do them, so we're gonna try for that!

Ed's still staying busy with work and in all his spare time he plays with his new toy. He totally loves that Vette! lol Even though he's having to work on it here and there, it sat for so long, that now with being drove all the time, little things are happening. But he's getting them fixed one by one!

That's about it for updates here. I'll try and do better about updating more often!!

A nice birthday

I had a really nice birthday. Ed and the girls took me to Amarillo. I got a new dresser and mirror and a new bed for our bedroom. And all the paint, paper, ect...to re-do all the walls. Even got a new light to put up, now I just have to get busy and get it all done! loll

We also went to the mall, did some shopping there, got a couple things for me and the girls each got two new webkinz. I also got some stuff at bath and body works!

We went to eat at Chilis. Wanted to go to Outback, but they didn't open until 3:00. So we opted for Chilis. It was really good!!

That evening Becky, Colby and their girls came over and we roasted hot dogs over the fire pit, had some cake (that Ed had made for me) and ice cream and we all drank margaritas! It was a fun day!!

Got lots of cards, calls, and nice gifts for my birthday. I guess turning 38 wasn't so bad afterall! lol

I'm getting old!!

Well, guess I'll be 38 tomorrow! Doesn't seem possible, I don't feel that old! lol I remember thinking that my Mom was old when she was this age.......now I'm there! lol

Ed and the girls are taking me to Amarillo tomorrow, gonna go shopping and try to find some new bedroom furniture. Then tomorrow night Colby and Becky are coming over for a cookout and margaritas!!

Things have been pretty good around here, the girls are staying busy in school. Cheer class it getting busy, getting ready for Cheerfest in Liberal in October. I have my 20th year class reunion coming up in a couple weeks. Haven't heard any news on what they have planned if anything though. Not sure if we'll go or not.

We did have one bad thing happen to our family recently. We lost Ed's Grandma Flo. We lost her on Saturday, August 25th. We know she's in a better place and she's very happy to be back with Grandpa, but we miss her very much. We traveled to Kansas City, MO on the 26th, had her funeral on the 27th and back home on the 28th. The girls chose not to go, as they didn't want to have to see her like that and that be there last memory of her. So, my Grandma Jordan came out and stayed with them while we were gone. Bryce did go with us, he also served as a pall bearer. He's really growing up into a wonderful young man and I'm so proud of him. We really enjoyed spending some time just us and him on the trip to KS City. He celebrated his 17th birthday on the 28th, I actually got to wake him up and give him 17 swats that morning! lol He's staying busy with football (he's manager again this year) and with working two jobs as well as helping my Dad out at his ranch and helping Tweeter out with her remodling projects.

That about catches everyone up on what's been going on with us. I'll try and do better about getting in more often to keep everyone updated!
