Cast Your Vote!

As you can see we have to get a new TV to fit in this hole over the fireplace. We had a family dinner for Matthew's birthday & Carter was our entertainment! Seth has been looking at flatscreens for quite a while- years! We all know how much he loves to research! Now it is time to buy one. He's printed the Consumer Reports- has them memorized, can quote all the stats, knows the measurements, all the details, but when that hole will be filled- well, cast your vote!! How long do you think it will take him to make the purchase? I do love my husband, God put 2 "tightwads" or "penny pinchers" as you all like to call us, together & it works well for our fam, but he has the go ahead to make this purchase, has for a while! We were waiting to move to get a new TV, so now we'll see how long it takes him! Cast your votes as a comment- we may even give a prize to the winner!

***update TV is now here :)

We're Home

I'll let Ashley add more later, but its been 1 week today since we sold our old home.

We're so happy to add little touches to the warmth we already feel here.

Please stop by for a visit :)






Thanks to the Hasicks for this yummy housewarming treat! (Ashley's addition!)

Florida

We decided to take a trip to see Grandma since she wasn't able to come up for the holidays last year due to our wedding and my bro's. We started off at 5am on a 12hr car ride. Ashley was a good co-pilot and helped find mcd's on the handy GPS a time or two.

We ventured to Sanibel Island and ate at Jerry's Resturant a part of the grocery store there. It was a slightly overcast day with some sprinkles so it kept the crowds down that i've been used to and allowed us to drive end to end (Captiva).

We got to meet Grandma's friends and even though 1 didn't remember us it was fun to dine there.

Don't forget to see the Manatee's which made an appearance on the island. We saw two different set and snapped a few pics. I especially like the tag/holding hands moment we captured :)

1st Day of Summer!

Today was my 1st official day of summer!! What a great day! I spent the day with an old friend & her 2 precious little ones. Valerie & I met at freshmen orientation at CU (Thanks to Courtney, the blog stalker =) JK!). We hit it off & the girls of Day Dorm shared many memories! Valerie & I soon learned we were only "reunited" at college- see we were born 1 day apart at the very same hospital so we decided that we had to have been in the nursery at the same point at some time, & as much as the 2 of us talk we just decided we became friends back in 1979 at Rex & were only reunited at CU in '97! I spent the day with Valerie, her son Cooper (21 months), & her precious little daughter Paisley (almost 1 month old) all day- what fun! What a great way to start the summer!

Reffit Weekend

Mom & Dad came down for the weekend- their last stay at 220 Deep Pool! We had a great time. We stayed up late on Friday night when they got in =), had a full pancake breakfast on Saturday morning, a trip to the Farmer's Market & a good afternoon nap! We ate dinner w/ Mom & Grandma & enjoyed church & Sunday lunch. It was a great visit- as always! Next time they come we'll be in the new house! Sorry- we were so busy having fun we didn't get any pictures!

Summer is Here!

Just had to share my excitement- summer is here! The kid's last day was Wednesday & I will finish up Friday afternoon! Summer is here! I do love my job, it is so hard to let them go each year, but I do love the summer!!!

Birds part2

So it was about a week or so after our last visitors gained the gift of flight and together with mom, they no longer stayed in their bird nest. I decided since we were selling our house to remove the old bird nest and clean it up. No sooner had I done that, there was a new starter-nest in full construction. I asked Ashley if the bird had lost his mind and wondered if we should remove this one as well. Well we left it and..our new housemate continued to live there.

Today I get home and look up...and we have more than just a mommy bird. I count 5 atleast, 1 already having hatched. Who knew we had such a popular nesting ground :)
