Before the festivities begin

I guess it is about time that I type on here again. The hubster and I have had such a busy month and I don't see it slowing down anytime soon. We are both excited to be able to spend some time with family and friends during the holiday season and can't wait to begin the new year.

At the beginning of the month we got together with all our college friends for an Ugly Christmas sweater party. We had a great time seeing everyone again and cant wait for the new years eve party.

With work the hubster has been busy with painting during the day and then working at UPS in the evenings. He even saw a package that he loaded into a truck one night get delivered to our sister-in-laws house the next day. How neat to know he touch the package the night before. I have been keeping busy as well with training at the gym, training on the side, and soon to be going back to The Little Gym just a fee hours a week. With the amount of sleep the hubster and I lack each week I think we will be ready when we do start a little family.

Yesterday I threw my first baby shower for my sister an her new baby girl Kaylee. They moved out to Colorado last March and we were not able to give her a shower before. We had a great time with family an friends.

Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year!

Finding Time...

I finally have a little time to sit down and work on the computer. I should be cleaning but updating this sounded a little more intriguing.

Well here we are almost to Thanksgiving. I love the Holiday season so much but I feel that time just like every year is going by way to fast to enjoy it. I wanted to be crafty and decorate for each holiday though now it looks like maybe a few cute ones for Christmas and that is it. Maybe once the Hubster and I get a house I will be able to decorate more. What I would make would probably clutter up the place. I do think I have mastered living in 500sqft! We have committed to one more year here so hopefully by the end of next year we will be looking into at least renting a house.

Since Halloween the Hubster and I have been busy. I have headed down to League City a few times and the Hubster headed up to Nacogdoches for a college of buisness seminar.

While in League City I am working with my mom to turn my old bedroom into a "toy room" for the grandchildren. We pulled everthing out, cleaned  the carpets and put back in only what we wanted. The up stairs is coming along quite nicely. Sarah's room has been turned into the nursery, and Roger's room is the adult guest bedroom. In time Jonathan's room will be turned into a kids guest bedroom with two twin beds.

I recently got my hair cut which is super exciting. I have always thought short hair looks good on me, then I end up growing it out. So yet again I am back to short but loving it. Though I work with all men would care more for themselves than anyone else so no one has even commented on it. Oh well, I like it!

Down In League City of course I had to stop by and see the boys. Aaron is getting so big! He is now 4 months old!

Everyone have a great Thanksgiving week and I will post some pictures of times with the families next week!!

Happy Halloween!!

The Hubster and I headed up to Nacogdoches Halloween weekend to celebrate Homecoming/Halloween at SFA.( Our college ) We had a great time getting to stay in the house where we spent most of our college days and getting to see lost of old friends as well. We broke out our swiffer costume again for the Phi Psi Halloween party, where everyone got a kick out of our creativity. Sassy Came along for the journey as well!!

We bought a pumpkin to carve. Finally found some time on Halloween.

Sassy needed a costume as well. Since I had her she went with me to the assisted living I train at on Fridays. They called her spider dog.

Sassy was all ready for the big ride

For SFA Homecoming our Catholic Student Center invited back all Alumni and past priest.

House that Drew lived in for two years while up at college. I spent many days their as well...lol

OUR PUMPKIN!!!!!

Busy October

I don't know where this month has gone. When I feel like I should sit down and update everyone about what the Hubster and I are up to I always get side tracked. We have one more week in October and we are as busy as ever. Since Caleb's birthday I have found a new website I love, Pinterest.com. It is a web site of do it yourself crafts. I have had fun looking at many things I can make for my apt and things to do for the holiday. Here are a few pictures of what I have made so far.

This is my healthy bin. It is the first thing you see when you open the fridge, so you grab a healthy snack instead of chips. Now I can't find the rest of the pictures but I also made pumpkin muffins and a thing to put all my plastic bags in.

This past weekend the Hubster and I got to hang out with a lot of my sorority sisters for a Halloween party. It was great to see people who I had not seen since college. This coming weekend we are heading up to Nacogdoches to celebrate homecoming/Halloween. They have a reunion at our church for homecoming and we will hang out with the Hubsters fraternity for Sat night.

Caleb's 2nd Birthday

The Hubster and I headed down to Kemah yesterday to celebrate my brothers and Caleb's birthdays. We had a great time playing with Caleb and getting to spend more quality time with baby Aaron.

Aunt and Uncle Fridays!!

Every Friday the Hubster and I head over to the Passmores house to play with our baby niece. She has been fighting the sniffles this week at only three weeks old. We enjoy getting to spend time with her each week and seeing how fast she can grow.

One of her favorite positions is over the shoulder so she can look all around.

And if arms just are not enough to settle her down a blanket can always swaddle her to sleep.

Babies all around

The Hubster and I have been trying to spend lots of time with our new nephew and niece. With Aaron living down in League City it is a little harder but we are able to make a trip down there last weekend when we had to drop Sassy off. Every Friday we have made it Aunt and Uncle day with Felicity. It has been fun getting to spend the last two Fridays with her. Here are some pictures form the last few weeks.

Sassy wanted to be the little protector over Felicity. It was very cute but she would get mad when she could not be by her.

So Sassy needed a little attention for herself so that she did not feel left out.

Baby Aaron is growing up so quickly and will be ready to play football in no time.

Felicity is a great cuddlier. She loves to curl up on your chest and fall asleep. Very sweet

Even though it is Labor day its off to work for me. More baby pictures will come soon. It is so nice getting to spend time with all the new little additions to the family. One day maybe the husbter will even get to change his first dipper.

Iowa comes to town!!

This past week my brother, sister-in-law, and niece form Iowa came for a quick visit before school started. We had a great time going down to Galveston to Palm beach and hanging out with baby Aaron.

Its so fun when family comes into town and we can all get together!!

Felicity Therese Passmore

A little over a week ago the Hubster and I got to welcome another niece into our lives. She was born on Wednesday August 17th at 5:05pm. She is a beautiful baby girl that I dont think could be any tinier or cuter. It is my goal to spend a little time with her each week since she only lives about 10 minutes way away.

The Hubster got to meet Felicity up at the hospital the night she was born. I had to stay at work but got to finally meet her a few days later.

I have always enjoyed making crafts, so when an opportunity comes up I jump on it!

Hanging out with baby Felicity on Sunday night over at the in-laws.

Baby Felicity and her sweet little crys......
