Dec 1st - Dec 23rd

December always seems to just fly by with all the parties and gift buying and Christmas everything. Ryans birthday is also this month so I cooked him his favorite dinner and chocolate cake ready for him as soon as he got home from the airport Friday. We also got to go see Tripp in his Christmas pageant. I also got to spend a couple of dinners with Kim and I even got to see Colton, who is growing so fast.

We decided to take Harley and Harden for the evening and take them shopping for there Christmas presents lets just say we havent had small kids for a long time and we are very happy about that. but we loved spending time with them.

The last week of school was very busy for our school. Monday was Sierras class party and they took the kids shopping to buy a needy family Christmas presents. Then we took them to Beni Hania (sp) Tuesday school was canceled because of ice. Wednesday we took the elementary class to the movie tavern for their Christmas party (the highlights of having a small school) Halie also went to work with us that day. Thursday was just one big party day at school.

Saturday all my family came up and we had Christmas at Pilot Point this year. We all had a great time except for the Cowboys losing. Sunday Ryan and I did a little Christmas shopping.

Monday Sierra Cindys for a few days and Tuesday Halie and I finished up our shopping. And Wednesday we will go to Ryans side Christmas celebration an Wednewsday is my families side.

I cant believe Christmas has come and almost gone again.

Pictures are of Sierra and friends at christmas party, Halie when she opened her itouch ipod (she didnt know she was getting it)and Sierra with her DS and Harley and Hayden opening their gifts.

I hope everyone has a Very Merry Christmas

Nov 8th- Dec.1st

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!!!!!

As usual I am a few weeks behind so I need to back up.

Friday 14th we drove to Powderly to give me sister a surprise birthday party, it turned out really great she was totally caught off guard. Shes going thru a hard time right now so she needed the cheering up. We ended up spending the weekend there visiting with both sets of family. I was also able to get in a couple hours of visiting with my grandparents since we wouldnt be there for Thanksgiving this year. The next two weeks seemed to fly by, work and school as usual I actually got to see Kim a few times.

As I said before we decided to miss Thanksgiving and spend the week at the cabin, the decision was hard but after talking to my mom I realized I actually spent more time with him when I have been coming in for the day than trying to share him 50 other people for 50 mins.

So as soon as Halie was out of school Friday we took off for the cabin. Besides Dixies diarrhea it was an uneventful trip up. Sunday Mikey Paula and the boys came up and spent the day with us. And I could kick myself for not taking pictures. Monday we did a whole lot of nothing. Tuesday Ryan and I skied,and Tuesday and Thursday we all skied, well Halie took a snow board lesson and likes it better than skiing. Thursday night we went to a local restaurant for a Thanksgiving dinner...no cooking, no cleaning, and no left overs to worry about. I loved it (not for every Thanksgiving but it worked this year) Thursday night we had a big snow and it continued until after we left on Friday afternoon. We drove to Mikey and Paula's and stayed over at their house, then left bright and early Saturday and ended up getting home around 6:00p.m. Sunday Cindy and Glenn came over for a short visit. Then Jordan took Halie and Sierra to see Twilight (I'm so jealous, I'm still on book 4) . Ryan and I went to Denton to see if there was any great left over sales going on,,, we came home with deodorant (big spenders)

Ryan leaves again Tuesday for LA. and Sierra and I head back to Grapevine. Looks like Pilot Point is still in the running for 2 A state champs!!!!!! I cant believe there is only three weeks until Christmas break... I cant put my finger on it but I have absolutely NO Christmas cheer this year. I have no plans on putting up a tree or lights. Especially since we wont be home for Christmas or the week after. And Christmas gifts will be cut back drastically this year. I think the last few years its only been about the gifts we GET not the gifts we GIVE so we are going to be doing a lot more giving this year. And being a lot more thankful for what we already have. We are letting the kids take a friend skiing again this year so they will be Thankful for that gift.

Pictures are of us at top of Breckenridge ,The cabin after a good snow, (I love this one )Halie and Ryan taking a break coming down the mountain. Sierra skiing, me and Sierra (can you believe how big she is getting) Ryan and Halie snowboarding, Ryan and I and Ryan and the girls in front of Cabin on Thanksgiving morning. And Pictures of Tammy at her surprise Birthday party.

Oct 21s t- Nov 7th

Its starting to look like fall around here finally (You know fall in Texas 40 in the mornings 80 in the afternoon)

Ryan had a race this weekend (his last ) And he came in first place which means even if he misses the make up race the weekend before Thanksgiving he has won the Championship!!!!!

So it was just me and the girls this weekend. Saturday I took Sierra and Stacee to watch High School Musical 4, while I walked around the mall,which I truly enjoyed. Sunday I dropped those two of at Stacees and Halie and I went back to mall to pick up a book for school and we just hung out for the afternoon. I am reading the Twilight series with her and it seems to be a part of almost every conversation we have.

Halloween came and went with no excitment.

Ryan came home Sunday and didnt go back to LA. that week. The next weekend we drove to Powderly for the day. My Grandfather had a stroke some time back and it has made him blind in one eye among other things.

So I wanted to spend sometime with him. I also learned that we wouldnt be having our yearly Christmas Eve at their house, which I completely understand dont get me wrong its too much for him to have our whole clan (kids and all)in one house and too much for Granny Belle. But I almost feel like a part of me has died. I cant even write about this without tearing up. Christmas Eve at Granny Belle and PaPaw`s was a constant in our lives growing up and as adults. Most of my childhood memories circle around Christmas Eves with them. A house full of people with everyone talking at the same time (years ago people having a little to much to drink). Granny Belle running around nervously making sure every thing was done and everyone was eating not for once thinking about herself. All the family's together for one night. And PaPaw sitting in his recliner looking at all the kids opening their toys with a big smile on his face. I remember the excited of me opening my gifts, then being old enough to be the one to hand out the gifts to the next generation, then watching my own children get to have those wonderful moments themselves. I have to say I know I am lucky to still have my grandparents with me and the last several years I have tried to take in those moments and store them away because I knew they wouldnt last forever. Sadly though I missed the last Christmas Eve (which ended up being the last) because we decided at the last minute to go to Co. That has caused a lot of pain in my heart. But I would rather spend an hour with them (with just a few people) just talking and spending time together than a big holiday when I barely get in a hello and goodbye. I just love them both so much its hard to put into words. They are my biggest inspiration.

Sunday we just hung around the house doing a whole lot of nothing. Tuesday Ryan flew out and flew back Thursday afternoon. He has to work the race at Muenster this weekend from Friday to Sunday (It seems like he is never home) But he is staying home this week (HURRAY)

Halie is doing good, still has the same boyfriend, still doesnt have another car and made STRAIGHT A`SSSSS on her report card (and she is taking hard classes)

Sierra is doing good also She still likes her school. We did have a incident last week where a student threatened to kill her (hes not right in the head) I in turn told them if he wasnt taken out of her classes I didnt know if we could stay there (for her safety he is 14 , 6ft tall and weighed about 300 lbs) and me having the wonderful boss that I do she has taken him out of regular school, he only comes on Monday`s and Friday`s that is after being expelled for two weeks.

It was a big dramatic ordeal and Luckly Sierra doesnt even really understand what happened (he wrote on a piece of paper all the ways he wanted to kill her and she didnt read it just gave it to me and you know this grizzly bear momma took care of it) No Force on earth is as strong as a mother protecting her child!!!!!! And believe me he felt the force.

(Sierra also got her first visit from Aunt Flow that same day)

I am still loving my job, still hating the drive.

Two more weeks till Thanksgiving Break I cant believe it and cant wait to be at the cabin for a week.

Pics are of Tripp playing at our house and Hannah Montana (Harley) andBatMan (Hayden)

THE KITCHEN IS FINISHED

Here are pictures of the kitchen, I am so in love with it !!!!!!!!!! Ryan sent me roses on the 20th anniversary of our first date. (hes so sweet, and I thought he forgot)

Oct 7th- Oct- 21st

We are still chugging along on our kitchen, its gone rather quickly but it seems like forever when you dont have it . School and work is still going great. Ryan had a race last weekend and came in first even with a broke big toe. Kim and Colton came over Sunday to help with the kitchen and was much appreciated. Thursday Tiffany came and picked up Sierra and took them to my moms for a long weekend, and Halie and I had some time to ourselves. Friday I had the whole day all by myself and since we changed Sierras school that doesnt happen very often. Ryan flew in that afternoon and the three of us went out to dinner because I still dont have a kitchen. I think Halie has enjoyed the last few days without Sierra and getting us all to herself. Saturday we left around noon to drive to my parents place on the river and stayed the night. It was very relaxing and Ryan needs that. Sunday as soon as we got home I went to the grocery store to buy food to fix for Jordans birthday (YES my kitchen is finished). He came and spent the afternoon with Halie, Saturday they are going to the EdgeFest(she got him tickets for his birthday) Monday we finally went and picked out a table for the kitchen and Brent joined us for dinner.

September 14th- October 6th

I havent blog in so long I can hardly remember what has been going on around here.

Ryan is still going to LA. during the week and coming home on the weekends. Yes I hate it but what choice do I have.

Sierra is doing great in her new school and I am begining to love my new job especially my high school sign class. Halie and Jordan got back together (I dont know if I said they had broken up or not) She tried going out with someone else (which we encouraged her to do ) but ended that rather quickly and the got back together.

I started on some new meds for my Fibromyalga it has gotten steadly worse since Ryan took over the concrete plant in LA. I know the flair up is all from stress. They seem to be working but they make me very groggy during the day so I am hoping that will eventually go away. She also gave me some muscle relaxers when its really bad and some sleeping pills to help me sleep.

The only real news I have is that Haliue wrecked her car or actually totalled it last Saturday night. She was coming from Jordans friends house and pulled out in front of a guy who she thought was turning like her (she said she saw his blinker) but he went straight and t-boned her. Ryan and I were in Frisco when it happened. We were not able to get to the accident scene in time so we went straight to the hospital. She was hysterical and scared to death. The guy that hit her was cussing her out. Luckly two cars came up on the scene and they happened to be mothers so they took her under their wing, which was a blessing for her. She ended up bruising the bones in her hand but nothing was broken. The parametic said it was a miracle she walked out of the car, if it would have hit her on the driver side she probably wouldnt be alive. So we are very gratefull to have our little girl with us. After talking to several people we are pretty sure its going to be totaled.

Sierra and I flew to Baton Rouge this weekend to see Ryan since he had to work and couldnt come home.

Satur day Sierra spent the day with Pops and Tanya (Ryans dad and wife) And Ryan and I sat at the batch plant BORED out of our minds waiting for all the trucks to come in. Sunday we went to the batch plant again and that afternoon we went to Craigs to watch the Cowboys and a later dinner at the Bass Pro Shop in Denham Springs.

Sierra and I flew home Monday and picked up Halie at school. We were so excited to see what had been done to the kitchen since we had been gone.

Pictures of Halies car, Craig, Roxie,Ryan and Sierra, eating snacks and watching the cowboy game all while in the pool. And Sierra in one of Ryans concrete trucks.

September8th - September 14th

I just cant believe how fast these weeks have been flying by.

Monday I hung out with Ryan most of the day since he was leaving to go back to LA.

Tuesday was our first day of school, it flew by. I was a little concerned early on in the day, well actually I was in tears. I made the decision early on to put Sierra in the younger class instead of the middle school class. They just cant modify it down to her level for all the classes its just to hard and not fair to the other students in the class and I felt Seirra would be too overwhelmed and she starts mentally checking out. Anyway back to the first day. She is in a class where all the kids are much, much younger than her and much smaller. So that first morning I watched her (because I am in the class with her some during the day) and she looked like a giant sitting in the small desk up against all the other kids and it just really hit me hard how far behind she is. I had to get up and leave and take a breather outside. She seems to be ok with it I am the one with the problem. Some of the stuff they are doing she already knows so she feels so proud when she knows the answer and that gives her confidence, but alot of it she doesnt know and that tells me she is where she needs to be. She does have lunch with the middle school kids and she has one class with them that the Mellisa (the principle ) teaches and she is able to put those lessons down to her level. The first day was o.k. for me I am not used to teaching teenagers I think I would rather deal with 3 and 4 year olds. But by Thursday things were going pretty good. Between the three classes the high school class is turning out to be my favorite. (who would have thunk it) Now the 3 hours in the car I can do without but I know it will all be worth it. Wednesday ryan and Brent left for LA. Thursday Sierra had a sleep over with a new friend at school and I came home and took Halie and friends to watch Guyer high school `s pruduction of "SWEENY TODD" and it was amazing, I have seen Broadway plays in New York and this play was just as good. Friday I had all kinds of appointments then came home and waited for Ryan to fly in. With the hurricane coming in and the wind blowing so hard is plane was canceled, but after hanging around the airport for several hours they were put on a later plan and made it home before nine (he was suppose to be home by 4:30) Saturday we got up early and drove to Powderly for my Granny Belles 80th birthday party, and no hurricane could have stopped us. They had the horse barn cleaned out by the time we got and we helped set up and put the decorations I made out. We had a really good turn out despite the hurricane that was going on. Granny Belle and PaPaw seemed to enjoy themselves. I know that every family event we have now is special and I try to set back and take in every moment and store them away in my memory. We decided to drive back home that night despite the weather.

Sunday all the rain was gone and it ended up being a beautiful day even though we spent most of the day watching football. And life starts back over again tomorrow.

August 26th- September 7th

Before I start with this blog I have to go back to the week we were in LA. and tell you a funny story, I'm always telling on the girls and Ryan so I figured I better tell one on me as well.

The girls and I were in a Cracker Barrel having breakfast the first morning we were in Baton Rouge so I am in the rest room washing my hands and this very sincere older lady looked over at me and said So how far along are you, without missing a beat I said "four months" she said Oh how sweet, Congratulations and good luck. I walked back out to the table with a big grin on my face and Halie said what happened. After I told her she said why did you lie, why not just tell her you arent pregnant I said then that would have made her fell bad and I was where nobody knew me. So back to the thinking I was pregnant, I was wearing a flowy shirt that tied right underneath the boobs. And back when I was really pregnant the shirt probably would have been considered a maternity shirt. Anyway HAHA after Ryan heard about it I got prego jokes for the next week. Ive gained a few pounds but come on.

O.K. back to the last two weeks. I started my new job on Wednesday 27th and Sierra went to those two days with me. It was good to be back at work I felt like my brain was turning to mush so it was good to shake the cobwebs out of the old thinker. That Friday I spent the day with Ryan and that evening Halie was gone to a football game. Sierra went skating and Ryan and I went out to dinner and went to a wine store. Saturday Ryan and I went riding dirt bikes at Muenster and the girls hung out at home all day. Sunday we drove to some stores looking at tile samples for the house Sierra joined us Halie was at Chealses house. Monday {Labor Day} we took the girls to the movies and hung around the house the rest of the day I did cook a big dinner and have Brent over I knew my Kitchen was fixing to e torn do so I had better cook while I could.

I went back to work on Monday and worked Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday evening we went and put the final touches on picking out the cabinets and all that kind of stuff. Thursday afternoon was the schools open house and Ryan and Sierra drove up for that. I have my own classroom, that no one else uses only me. I teach three sign classes, elementary, middle school and high school. The rest of the day I work as a aide for the elementary class. And yes Sierra will be in those classes. It will be hard for me to turn over the primary caregiver to the teacher.

Friday was homecoming and Halie got out of school at noon and was kind enough to take Sierra to the parade and the pep rally. We were busy at home tearing out the kitchen. Ryan worked in the kitchen till about 6:00 then he cleaned and loaded up to go to Houston to ride on Saturday with Charlie and James. They left around 8:00 and got there around midnight. Saturday the girls and I had a Wonderful day together (As I am typing this they are up stairs screaming their heads off to each other AWWWW sisterly love) Anyway back to Saturday. They are both at the age where you could just tear their little heads off at a monents notice so the fact that we all got a long and enjoyed being together was WONDERFUL for me. We got up early and went for breakfast, then went shopping at Sam Moon and I let them pick out a purse, then we went to mall and I let them get their eyebrows threaded. It was awful for Sierra after the first eye she was bawling and wanting to quite I told her she couldn't do just one eye. So we started reminding her of when she shaved hers off that time and she was laughing by the time it was all over with. I'm sure I looked like a horrible mother when I was holding her head down telling the woman to go ahead and finish. Then we went grocery shopping at this great new store in Frisco its newly open so they are still doing alot of cool things on Saturday and Sunday. They had a scavenger hunt that day so the three of us did that and Sierra got a bag full of goodies, a tshirt and lunch bag. After that we walked around and ate lots of samples and bought frozen meals (since I have no kitchen) On the way home I remember I was invited to a jewelry party at a friends house so we stopped off at her house for a while. Her two kids are in Sierras grade so they came back home with us to swim and ended up mainly riding dirt bikes and four wheelers. Normally I wouldn't let them do that without Ryan here but Sierra was so happy; they are part of the popular kids and she is usually watching them play in our neighborhood so she was on the inside this time not the outside looking in I just couldn't tell her no. Halie went to a party that afternoon and Sierra and i ordered pizza and watched PollyAnna until Ryan came home. Sunday morning Ryan and I got up early and snuck to town and had breakfast and too Kroger to buy sodas. I quite drinking them all togther so I stopped buying them and Ryan and the girls are having a fit. Came back home and decided today would be a cleaning day for everyone. And since most of my kitchen stuff is cramed in the patio I decided to set up everything a little better, so I was working right along and I pull out some boxs that I built to keep the dog food and birdseed in and behind it is full of MOUSE POOP. So I figured they were getting in to eat the food and seed. I cleaned out the first one no problem I open the lid to the second one and reach in to pull out the bag of bird seed and I see a SNAKE!!!!! Of course I scream and ran ouside to get Ryan (snake killig is a man`s job) He grabs my big kitchen knife and cuts the head off, it was a baby but it looked like poisonous and big enough to do some damage. Ryan was freaking me out because after he cut its head off it kept trying to strike with just a little head and no body. We guessed it came in thru the doggie door and set up camp in the box and was feasting on the mice.(maybe we should have kept him for a little while longer NOT just kidding) His little tummy was full.

Halie is adjusting very well to her Junior year so far, she has more homework to do but she is loving having her own car.

Sierra and I start school on Tuesday we are both starting school next Tuesday.

Ryan has been home the last two weeks. The hurricane did quite a bit of damage in LA. to both business`s ,as of Friday they were still without power And it doesnt look like he will go back this week either. He has his first race since early summer this coming weekend. And we will be going to Powderly to celebrate my Granny Belles 80th birthday.

Pictures are of Sierra and Halie bing silly in the car on Saturday (Halie would die if she knew I posted this picture.) My classroom, Halie and her car I cant believe I forgot to post it. And the snake we killed.

August 19th - August 25th

Hello to everyone....

This was the last week of Summer for Halie. And since we didnt get a chance to take the kids somewhere warm for vacation at Halies request. I decided to take the kids to Wolf lodge again with a friend. So Sierra took Stacee and Halie took Melissa a girl that lives in the neighborhood. Funny thing is she is Georges girlfriend (Halies ex) and the used to hate each other but now they are best buds. Anyway we went Wednesday afternoon and stayed until Thursday afternoon and picked Ryan up from airport. We dropped Halie and Melissa off at the fair in Denton so they could go to a concert. Sierra spent the night with Stacee and Ryan and I had a evening alone. Friday morning we had breakfast with Lucky, he is partners with Ryan on the land outside of Denton. His brother died recently and we wanted to spend a little time with him to see how he was doing. I spent the rest of the day working with Ryan. We had all the contractors at the house that afternoon to take measurements for the kitchen. And then drove back to the airport to pick up Brent. Saturday morning we got up really really and went to Lake Murray to ride dirt bikes and was it HOT. Charlie and James came back home with us and swam. Sunday Halie got up early again and went riding up at Muenster with Jordans family. Sierra went over to Stacees for a back to school party. We did some looking around for appliance`s

for the new kitchen. After Sierra came back home we drove up to the land to see how the hay was coming along. And Ryan got my tahoe stuck in the mud (HAHAHAH) so lucky had to come and pull us out with the tractor. Monday was the first day of school for Halie. I realized after I took her first day of school picture (something I have done every year since Kindergarten) that I only had one more picture to take after this year. It was a very distrubing thought. Anyway, after school we went to buy her school supplies than met up with Rya n and Brent for dinner. Here is some info that some of you might find helpful. On Monday nights Johnny Carinos as whats called family night. On thheir menus that have family platters that are big enough to feed 2 to 3 people usually around 20.00 a platter. But in Monday nights they are the same price as a single serving entree price which is usually around 10.00 to 12.00 dollars. So six of us ate a appetizer, 3 big platters of food, bread, salad/ or soup and drinks. for 50.00 and around here that is GREAT. And we brought home enough food for two more dinners.

I start to work Wednesday and Sierra will go with me so she can get some testing done. Ryan is here for the rest of the week. Theres a three day weekend coming up but Im not sure what we are going to do if anything.

July 30th-August 18th

As soon as we got back home and settled in from being gone on vacation Ryan packs up and goes to Lousiana for the week. And since we didnt have anything going on here (except for me working in the office, good thing I know the boss) the girls and I decided to pack up and join him. We drove up on Thursday and Friday afternoon the four of us drove to New Orleans for the weekend. When they say its not a place for kids they are right. Even in the day time there are some strange people down there. But we still had a good time. Friday night we ate a late dinner at the hotel and it was very fancy and Halie loved it (image that). Saturday Ryan and I got up early and went walking and found a beigna (SP) cafe(the french version of a doughnut ) and they are very popular down there. We took some back to the room woke them up and made them get ready to go out. We walked around, went to a beautiful old catholic church, got our palms read(except Ryan) then we went on a carriage ride. Had some lunch then headed to the aquirium after that the kids were wore out so Ryan and I had a drink and went shopping at a local mall. He found a Oakley store going out of business we got $1200.00 worth of stuff for less than 250.00 First time I have ever seen Ryan get that excited over a sale. Meanwhile the girls had rested up and met us there. We went back the hotel changed clothes and went out to dinner with the girls. After dinner the girls said they would go back to the room and we could walk down bourban street. They were having a street part on oneal street where all the art galleries were having an open house so walked thru all of those (it didnt hurt that they were giving away free wine) Then we walked to bourban street and looked at all the drunk people. We went in a dance club and watched and a country and western club and watched and decided we are way to old to be in that kind of crowd. Sunday morning we got up and went back to Denham Springs. We took the girls and visited Russ and Tanya a little bit. We came back and and had dinner with Craig,Roxie,Shelby and her new boyfriend, and Tammy Roxies sister in law. We were suppose to come back home on Monday but everybody begged us to stay. So we did. Monday the girls and I met Ryan for lunch then went back to Roxies. That night the four of us went out and had a nice dinner and the kids stayed and ordered pizza and swam. Tuesday I took the girls to the local mall and we bought school clothes. Brent flew in that day so he was at Craig and Roxies too. Wednesday we decided to just hang out at the house. And that afternoon Roxie had her massage therepist stop by and I got a massage. She also cooked a huge dinner RIBS not my favorite but I had eaten enough all week so it didnt hurt me not to eat. Sierra and I went out to swim but mosquites were carrying us away. Thursday morning we packed up the car went and picked up Ryan and headed back home. It was great to sleep in my own bed for a change.
Friday the girls and I stayed home and cleaned house. Later that afternoon Ryan came home with a builder friend who is going to over see the job of remodeling our kitchen. Its going to be a total gut job and I know Ryan isnt going to be home enough to oversee it so his friend Queen is going to do it for him . I hope it all goes well I am not sure Ryan is going to be able to turn the job over so I am sure it is going to be a interesting experience for us all. Saturday Ryan worked at the shop most of the day and I left around noon to go to Powderly for my cousins baby shower after that we drove to the hospital to see my cousins first grand baby Memphis Ray. I had dinner with Barbara,Granny Belle and Tripp. We all went and visited my dad later on until it got late then I spent the night at Barbara`s. Got up the next morning had coffee with mom and Harley then went to church with Cindys for her birthday .(Monday is both our birthday`s)
Ryan and the girls came up and met us after church for lunch. I went by and picked up Tripp and Harley to bring them back to there moms in Pilot Point. Monday Ryan took me to eat breakfast , the girls took me to eat lunch and Kim took me out for dinner all for my Birthday I AM STUFFED. And Ryan and Brent went back to LA for the week. Tueday Sierra went to Jodi`s for the last time it was hard for all of us and Jordan came over to spend the day with Halie. And they made me a birthday cake. I am ready for some quiet time but I have a feeling that wont happend for quite some time.
Hope everyone has a great week.
