A new family addition!!

We are going to be expanding our family!! No - not another baby! lol But a new puppy!!! After months and months and months of begging and pleading, we have decided to let the girls have a Yorkie!! I think I need my head examined, but I am actually excited about her too! We will be going to Stillwater next Sunday (28th) to pick her up. I'll post some pics when we get her home. The girls have decided to name her Haley!! And they even agreed that I can put bows in her hair and I already bought her a pink collar and leash!!

Fall Break

The girls are on Fall Break and they got to go to Shattuck to stay with my Dad. They were really excited!! I took them down there yesterday, stopped in Laverne to visit with Grandma Margie for a while, then on to Shattuck to see Grandma Jordan and got to see Bryce right after he got out of school. The girls will get to stay until Sunday!! Bryce will be leaving tomorrow for a hiking trip with his youth group and he has a football game tonight, so the girls will get to spend a little time with him!! Ed and I are gonna enjoy our kid free weekend, gonna go to the show and maybe to Amarillo shopping on Saturday!! :o)

Wrecked 4-wheeler Pics

The wrecked 4-wheeler - and yeah, this was the new 2007 Polaris! He couldn't have wrecked the old one! lol

Few More Pics!!

Bryce and Ed in Terry's Vette, Bryce and the girls in the go-kart!!

A nice family weekend!

We had a really nice weekend!!! Bryce came out after the football game that was in Yarbrough on Friday night. He spent the entire weekend!! Him and Ed built a headache rack and some side rails for Bryce's pickup. They had a really good time together!! They also rode 4-wheelers and went for a ride in the vette! Ed grilled out for us on Sunday afternoon and then we all 5 rode 4-wheelers and the gokart! It was a wonderful weekend!! We're looking forward to Bryce coming back out soon!!

The weekend didn't end on such a good note though. After Bryce left, Ed decided to go 4-wheeling some more and wrecked his 4-wheeler! Tried to climp a big hill, hit some sand and the 4-wheeler tipped up and Ed fell off the back, hitting his head.......looked up just in time to see the 4-wheeler coming right towards him. He managed to roll to the side just as the 4-wheeler hit upside down! Ed's okay (Thank God!) but the 4-wheeler has seen better days! It bent the back of it (which Ed can fix) but it also bent the handle bars and the whole electronic assembly where the speed odometer and fuel gauge an stuff is. That will have to be taken back to the dealership and fixed/replaced. I'm just glad he's okay!!! But hopefully it will teach him not to try and climb those big hills.......but I doubt it! lol

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
