Life is Good

well except for my husband working overtime nonstop since we have moved in, a serious ant problem, kate overflowing a toilet and sleep deprivation ...LIFE IS GOOD!

We took the kids to the Alabama vs North Texas game 2 Saturdays ago. We lasted 1 quarter. :) I expected that but I figured it is probably the only game they could go to and we couldn't sell the tickets so it was interesting walking the 2nd row of the upper deck with a chunky monkey hanging off one hip and a serious diaper bag hanging off the other (all it would take on the second row is one stumble and you could possibly fall over the top, no joke!).

Don and I attended this past weekend's Arkansas game and the heat was brutal but I was just happy not to have responsibilities for a mere 4-6 hours. Thanks Mamey and Pop!

We are busy visiting churches, reliving old college days (walking the quad before a big game weekend), checking out the town. Kate turns 3 not this Saturday but next. We have been talking about it for a month. She is ready! And did I mention that she is full blown (well except nights) POTTY TRAINED. Took a while but it just suddenly clicked. Yay!

Here is a picture of family before this past weekend's game in front of our hacienda!

Raow!

The Big 3-0!

Yep it has come and gone and I am still here. :) Yesterday was my 30th birthday. I woke up this morning like a train had hit me. I didn't feel like this because of something I did yesterday, I guess it just comes with the number. Or maybe it had something to do with me hauling my chunky monk several blocks to the football game on Saturday. Anyway, a heating pad does wonders.

Updates on everything:

We are in the new house and it is AWESOME! We have already seen 2 sets of deer right outside our window. Both sets had a few doe and a few fawns. Petey of course scared them away. Speaking of Petey, he sits and stares out the windows with a big smile on his face. He is one happy dog. The coolest thing about the new house is the whole back wall is lined with large windows that make you feel like you are outside. There are no window coverings but I love it! Boxes are still everywhere but with time, things will find a place. Also, we currently have 2 rooms that visitors can sleep in (hint, hint), come visit!

Luke is 9.5 months old now. He weighs a ton! His smile melts my heart. I tell him all the time how handsome he is and Don pipes up "Why, thank you" :). I guess he did get his looks from Don because he looks just like him. It is ridiculous! Both kids look like Don. I guess I am just a xerox copy machine. Luke has 8 front teeth and I noticed today that several teeth on the bottom back are coming in. Maybe that is why he has been waking up multiple times in the middle of the night. Don't get me started on that. I am taking him to doc tomorrow for check-up. I will report back on stats. I am sure the doc will get onto me for him still waking up in middle of night.

Okay, that is all for now. I will try to update more often. I am excited about my new town!
