Weekend Fun!

Brant and I just got back from his cousin, Linsday's wedding. Oh what fun did we have!! All of the cousins were together, except for Ashley[:(] and we made sure to have a great time. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

My bday gift from Court and Steph - LOVE IT! Thank You! :-)

paint, paint, and more paint

So, I decided to paint the entry way a weeks ago on my 1 of my weekends off -- I loved it so much I decided to do the dinning room as well --hehe! I've never liked or painted yellow before, but I have to say the dinning room does look nice with a touch of yellow. Here are some before and after pics of the entry and dinning room. We also decided to get a new chandelier, b/c I'm not a fan of gold. Only a few more gold fixtures to go :-). During Christmas break I plan to paint 2 bedrooms, master bath and maybe the entry way :-) --oh boy!

The Ultimate Texas A&M Dogs

That's right Aggie and Sarge are the ultimate Aggie dogs :-)

I love October!

Here's what I love about October --

* the weather [I am a winter fan, so I know it's coming]
* the yard decorations
* ok, make that ALL the Halloween decorations
* the candy
* Football!
* dressing up - although I don't think I am this year.
* and best of all MY BIRTHDAY!

This is the month Brant and I were engaged just 2 years ago! My how time flies when you're having fun ;o).

ahhh October! Can't believe it's already here.

Why do you like October?

And here's some photos of our little pumpkins.

They love to sun bathe!



















and don't forget to VOTE! :-)

Just too darn cute!

The puppies are about to no longer be called puppies. They are now 14 weeks and on the 25th of this month they'll be 4 months old! They are still soooo cute and we still have 4 running around. They LOVE Bane and Bane loves them --just take a look!
[The pics are hard to see, but had to be taken through the window by my phone, otherwise you wouldn't get to see them] :-)

Ali's a SENIOR!

Yep....Ali's a SENIOR this year. I'm pretty sure everyone is shocked at how fast this came [cause for me only knowing her for 5 years, I was shocked]! Last weekend Ali, Julie and I went around town taking her Senior photos --we had such a great time! And, of course, they helped me scope out some new spots.

ALI -- CONGRATS on your SENIOR YEAR! I know it's going to be a blast and before we know it you'll be gone to College.

We love you - J&B

Too bad they didn't have this cute fabric when I made my overalls ;-)
