First Playable Snow..


So, this wasn't the first snow...but it's the first one that produced enough of the good white stuff to stick! Us Texans haven't much experienced snow lately, so it was fun! I love my little pink powder puff girl!




More to come, I'm sure...Uncle Kyron wasn't around to play in it with us, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's got some fun snow plans!

You're Invited


We're blessing Josh!!
We're all about keeping in spirit with this sacred occasion, but we also don't want to leave anyone out who may feel the desire to attend. If you would like to be there, and I didn't happen to send you a formal invite, consider this yours! :)





It's Official!!



Josh is sleeping through the night!! It's been happening for 2 weeks now, but I didn't want to jinx anything--but I'm calling it! We've got a sleeper from 10:00 to 8:00. Wahoo!!

Kitchen and Backyard...


A few more pictures for you. Our dishwasher is broken, so I finally just decided to take a picture. I figured if I waited until there were no dishes in either the sink or the dish drain, I'd never get a picture. So...here you are!

This is the view from the family room. There is a fabulous red wall to your right, but you can't see it in this picture. The jury is still out on what color to do the rest of the kitchen in. Eventually we'll do a whole kitchen remodel and paint the walls that you see brown, yellow.


Here is the main kitchen part. Although I don't love the drop down ceiling, the kitchen really is very bright and roomy--and I love the bar.


Here is our fabulous $600 fridge...and the pantry that Mike and my Dad built. They did such a great job! Yeah for more storage!!


We LOVE our stove. If we move, I'm sure this will go with us. Convection, warming drawer, 5 gas burners...pure cooking bliss!



Our backyard is fully fenced and red ant free. It's awesome!! Katelyn loves to dig in the dirt, and we got a whole stinkin ton of apples from the tree you see. The shed is humongous, which is awesome cuz we don't have a garage, and we have big plans to build a deck in the spring. We're surrounded on two sides by big scary dogs, but they don't seem to bother Katelyn, so I try not to let them bother me!





Happy Halloween...This one's for Brielle...



Happy Halloween!! Enjoy the picture timeline of our fun!

We love you Grandpa!!


My grandpa Watson passed away yesterday morning after years of battling parkinsons, various cancers and dementia. It's been a long, hard road, and I am so thankful that his fight is finally over and that he is in a better place now. I'm grateful for eternal families, for grandpas' bear hugs, for his 'tough love', for his example, and for his sacrifices for his family.
We love you Grandpa!!
