Not alot going on around here. Just thought I needed an update cause I was tired of looking at the quilt pictures.
*Speaking of the quilt; not going real well. It is really hard to find time to sit down and work on it. And mom and Grandmother, neither one, have come over to help. This week is Thanksgiving probably won't be much better. :(
*Yesterday, we went to Abilene to have pictures taken. Mom wanted Christmas pictures of all 3 grandkids. Well, it was an adventure!! Mind you, Addi is 2, Karter is 1, and then Kylee is 2 months. Kylee just slept the whole time, so she was good, but I wanted her to wake up. NOPE!! Didn't budge. So all of her pictures she is sleeping. Addi did really good, until the end, and her and Karter were fighting over a package. Karter was really never good. :) He was everywhere, except where you wanted him. hehehehe He managed to break an ornament off of the Christmas tree. Anyways, we think there is one good one of all 3 of them. I'll let you know when they are up on the web.
*THANKSGIVING IS HERE!!! YES!!! I love this holiday!! It is just wonderful. I will do a thanksgiving post later in the week.
*Agenda for this week:
Monday - QUILT!!
Tuesday - Kylee goes to DR for 2 month SHOTS!! Eat lunch with some really great girls!! :)
Wednesday - Mom is out of school, so go to her house. YEAH!! But should probably be quilting.
Thursday - LUNCH --> Jason's Mom side
DINNER --> My Grandmother's House
Friday - Go to town with mom for Black Friday Deals!! Friday night decorate the house for Christmas!!
Saturday - My Mom's side of the family is coming!!
Well, that is it for now. Here a couple of random photos from a wonderful Sunday!!

What in the world was I thinking???

My Grandmother quilted this really cute puppy dog quilt this summer for one of our friends that has a little boy. Well, I thought it turned out really cute, and that we should do another one for our friend that is about to have her 2ND SON in 13 MONTHS!! Yes, that is correct.
Anyways, I really didn't know I was going to be the one quilting it. Well, Grandmother came and helped me set it up. My finger hurts really bad because I'm not used to using a needle and thimble. It is going to take me forever. But hopefully Mom and Grandmother will come help because it has to be done in 2 1/2 weeks!! Yikes!!
Here are some pictures of it!!

Here is what it actually looks like.

Happy Birthday to my best GIRLFRIEND!!!

There is so much to write about her!! She is the one I go to when I need advice about marriage, friends, children. She always has an answer, and it might not always be what I want to hear, but it is the right answer.
She is the best example of what it means to love with all your heart, and sacrifice for your family. I see it in her life everyday.

She has such a strong devotion to her faith. She is always praying for someone. And when she says I will pray for you, she DOES IT.

We can finish each others sentences. We read each others minds. We can make it each other laugh. We know when the other is upset about something.


Thank you Jesus for allowing my best friend to be my sister.


Happy Birthday Brianne!!

Apple Pies & Dad's Birthday

I made 2 apple pies today for my Dad's Birthday. They never look very pretty, but Jason and Dad say they taste good.




Happy Birthday to my Wonderful Daddy!! Everyone says they have the best dad, so I will go right along and say, "Yes, I do have the best dad in the world." When Jason and I got married, I would still talk to my dad at least once a day, sometimes more, and he didn't understand why, and sometimes we even got made at each other over it, but there is a connection there between a dad and a daughter. It eventually got better, or Jason just got used to it. But I'm sure all of us out there are Daddy's Girls!!!
It's funny how God teaches us things; now, Jason is experiencing the same kind of love for Kylee.

100TH POST

Yeah, this is my 100th Post on my blog!! This seems like it is going to be a busy week. Here is what we have in store.

Wednesday --> Make a pie and go to church
Thursday --> Dad's Birthday
Friday --> Ummm...nothing
Saturday --> Probably going to State CC Meet in Round Rock
Sunday --> Brianne's Birthday

So, maybe were not that busy, but it just seems like it!! yeah for birthdays though!!

Kylee seems like such a big girl these days. She is definetely growing and moving a lot more. She can hold her head up for several seconds at a time. She is most happy after she eats, and for a while there the happiness only lasted for about 30 minutes, but now she is happy longer, and smiles at her mobile. She loves for someone to talk to her. Brianne and I think she is going to be a little "FIREBALL" just by some of the things that she does. I kept saying that her temper was from Jason, but Brianne was quick to remind me that I was the one that got the technicals in basketball. (Only 2; one while playing and one while coaching.)
Yesterday, I was so excited because she really isn't good at falling asleep by herself meaning most of the time I rock her to sleep. Well, yesterday morning she put herself to sleep in the swing, and then after lunch she was watching her mobile in her crib and put herself to sleep again, BUT when I took her picture she woke up!! :) Silly me.

Enjoy the pictures for today!!

The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks


This book is fantastic!!! I highly recommend it to anyone!! I started it one night this week, and the next day I couldn't put it down all day because it was so good!!! I won't reveal any of the details if there is anyone out there that is wanting to read it.
